Abstract

In an example method, a mobile device receives a first calendar item associated with a first event. The first calendar item includes a first text string. The mobile device determines a correlation between the first text string and one or more locations associated with one or more second events. The mobile device determines a suggested location for the first event based on the correlation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, at a mobile device, an input via a user interface to create a first calendar item within a calendar application; receiving, at the mobile device, a first text string to associate with the first calendar item; determining, at the mobile device, a correlation between the first text string and a location associated with a second calendar item, wherein the location associated with the second calendar item is a frequently visited location for the mobile device; and suggesting, via the user interface, the location associated with the second calendar item as a location to associated with the first calendar item.

2 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium as in claim 1 , the operations additionally comprising:
receiving, via the user interface, a selection of the suggested location; and associating the suggested location with the first calendar item.

3 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium as in claim 2 , the operations additionally comprising:
in response to receiving the selection of the suggested location, confirming the suggested location as a confirmed suggested location; and increasing a suggestion priority of the confirmed suggested location relative to other frequently visited locations for the mobile device.

4 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium as in claim 3 , the operations additionally comprising:
receiving, at the mobile device, an input via the user interface to create a second calendar item within the calendar application; receiving, at the mobile device, a second text string to associate with the second calendar item; determining, at the mobile device, a correlation between the second text string and a third text, the third text string associated with the first calendar item; and suggesting the confirmed suggested location of the first calendar item as the suggested location for the second calendar item.

5 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium as in claim 4 , the operations additionally comprising suggesting a description of the first calendar item as a description of the second calendar item.

6 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium as in claim 1 , the operations additionally comprising:
receiving, at the mobile device, an instruction to modify the suggested location; responsive to receiving the instruction to modify the suggested location, displaying, via the user interface, a map interface including a geographic region of the suggested location; and presenting, in association with the map interface, a list of locations within the geographic region of the suggested location.

7 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium as in claim 6 , the operations additionally comprising:
receiving, via the map interface, a selection of a location within the list of locations; updating the map interface to display an indicator of the selected location; and associating the selected location with the first calendar item.

8 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium as in claim 1 , the operations additionally comprising providing navigation instructions via the user interface based on the suggested location.

9 . A system comprising:
a memory; one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors to execute instructions stored in the memory, wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, at a mobile device, an input via a user interface to create a first calendar item within a calendar application;
receiving, at the mobile device, a first text string to associate with the first calendar item;
determining, at the mobile device, a correlation between the first text string and a location associated with a second calendar item, wherein the location associated with the second calendar item is a frequently visited location for the mobile device; and
suggesting, via the user interface, the location associated with the second calendar item as a location to associated with the first calendar item.

10 . The system as in claim 9 , the operations additionally comprising:
receiving, via the user interface, a selection of the suggested location; and associating the suggested location with the first calendar item.

11 . The system as in claim 10 , the operations additionally comprising:
in response to receiving the selection of the suggested location, confirming the suggested location as a confirmed suggested location; and increasing a suggestion priority of the confirmed suggested location relative to other frequently visited locations for the mobile device.

12 . The system as in claim 11 , the operations additionally comprising:
receiving, at the mobile device, an input via the user interface to create a second calendar item within the calendar application; receiving, at the mobile device, a second text string to associate with the second calendar item; determining, at the mobile device, a correlation between the second text string and a third text, the third text string associated with the first calendar item; and suggesting the confirmed suggested location of the first calendar item as the suggested location for the second calendar item.

13 . The system as in claim 12 , the operations additionally comprising suggesting a description of the first calendar item as a description of the second calendar item.

14 . The system as in claim 9 , the operations additionally comprising:
receiving, at the mobile device, an instruction to modify the suggested location; responsive to receiving the instruction to modify the suggested location, displaying, via the user interface, a map interface including a geographic region of the suggested location; and presenting, in association with the map interface, a list of locations within the geographic region of the suggested location.

15 . The system as in claim 14 , the operations additionally comprising:
receiving, via the map interface, a selection of a location within the list of locations; updating the map interface to display an indicator of the selected location; associating the selected location with the first calendar item; and providing navigation instructions via the user interface based on the suggested location.

16 . A mobile electronic device comprising:
a location determination system; a memory device; one or more processors coupled to the memory device and the location determination system, the one or more processors to execute instructions stored in the memory, wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:
receive an input via a user interface, the input to create a first calendar item within a calendar application;
receive a first text string to associate with the first calendar item;
determine a correlation between the first text string and a location associated with a second calendar item, wherein the location associated with the second calendar item is a frequently visited location for the mobile electronic device; and
suggest, via the user interface, the location associated with the second calendar item as a location to associated with the first calendar item.

17 . The mobile electronic device as in claim 16 , the one or more processors to:
receive, via the user interface, a selection of the suggested location; and associate the suggested location with the first calendar item.
