FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Generally, the present disclosure relates to a field of data processing. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to calendar-based information management systems.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

All across the globe, people have long used the calendar to organize their social, commercial or administrative activities. For example, people use the calendar for appointments, schedules, important events and dates to remember. Traditional calendars are made of paper, and people can handwrite event entries onto the calendar as personal reminders and daily schedules to follow. Digital calendars have been developed to replace the traditional calendars. Digital calendars are more convenient to use and easier to maintain, as people can interact with the calendar and readily edit the entries. In today's world, almost everyone owns at least one calendar on his laptop, on his cell phone, or on even on his car. A user can synchronize his calendars across different devices to make sure that the calendar on each device is kept up to date.

However, for members in a particular group, e.g. in a family or in a company, they are unable to maintain their calendars in a single place, with documents, receipts, and other important files. This leads to scheduling conflicts and inefficiency. There is a major need for a life-organizer and document management calendar. For example, if family members wish to create a pediatrician appointment, they usually need to set separate appointment reminders in their own calendars. Moreover, groups can coordinate time of the appointment even modify their appointment reminders respectively, which could otherwise be burdensome. Upon leaving the appointment a simple command will copy, store, and file a document e.g shot record or test results. When you need the information, it is one touch or command away.

As many families are overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. Further, apps, remotes, and devices organize and run everything in businesses and homes with the touch of a button, everything except for life-management. Further, nothing currently exists in technology to specifically target the struggling family's need for long-term life-management and organization. Also, everything families need from important documents to digital photos are still scattered amidst apps, devices, and paper. In this area of people's lives, everything still sends them on a stressful search.

Therefore, there is a need for improved calendar-based information management systems that may overcome one or more of the above-mentioned problems and/or limitations.

FIG. 11is an illustration of architecture1100for implementing the present disclosure, in accordance with some embodiments.

The present disclosure is related to a calendar-based information management system which is a system for managing information for a group of users based on the calendar. As shown inFIG. 12, the calendar-based information management system may include a user management engine1202, a graphical user interface (“GUI”) engine1204, a speech recognition engine1206, a command processing engine1208, a category management engine1210, a document and image repository engine1212, a notification engine1214, a search engine1216and a database1220.

Further, the disclosed calendar-based information management system allows a group of users (with user devices1102-1116) to manage their personal or business-related information on a centralized device (such as centralized devices1118-1120), categorize the information for easy access, and retrieve the information more efficiently.

Further, the disclosed calendar-based information management system may be operated on a digital calendar which possesses computing capability and network connectivity.

Moreover, the disclosed calendar-based information management system may allow the users in the group to remotely manage (e.g., create, store, retrieve, manipulate, organize, present, etc.) the information, back up important documents and images, and ensure privacy and confidentiality.

Further, the disclosed calendar-based information management system may be accessed from a centralized device, or from user terminals which communicates with the centralized device via the network. An application which is designed to control the calendar-based information management system may also be provided on the user terminals.

As used herein, the term “engine” is used herein to refer to collections of programs which are grouped based upon function. The term “centralized device” is used herein to refer to a variety of devices that are capable of running the present disclosure. Preferably, the centralized device comprises a touchscreen display, a microphone, a speaker and/or other components as necessary. As an example, the centralized device could be a digital calendar hanging on the wall. The term “user terminal” is used herein to refer to any digital devices that are capable of communicating with the centralized device via any suitable communication protocol, including but not limited to radio communication protocols and/or communication protocols used in a data network. For example, the user terminals may be laptops, desktops, workstation, or handheld devices such as smartphones, tablets, etc. The term “calendar event” is used herein to refer to any recorded events associated with the calendar, including but not limited to appointments, to-do lists, bills that are due, etc. The term “command” is used to refer to users' instructions that are input into the centralized device and indicate what to do with the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the user management engine1202may be used to register users in the system and perform authentication of the users. The user management engine1202receives each user's profile information and creates a user profile. For example, the user's profile information may include but not limited to name, phone number, password, user's relationship to each other, and/or voice recognition information. In one embodiment, the user management engine1202generates login credentials for the user based on the user's profile information and stores the login credentials in the database1220. In this way, each user is able to remotely access the calendar-based information management system using the login credentials from their smartphones, laptops, desktops, etc. With the aid of the user management engine1202, the present disclosure allows different users to store their calendar events in the centralized device by associating the calendar events with the users. Each calendar event may contain profile information of the user creating that event.

The GUI engine1204generates graphical data for displaying a user interface which enables the users to interact with the system. The users may input information into the user interface and the GUI engine1204relays the information to other engines for further processing. For example, the user interface may include a login box into which the users may enter login credentials, and then the credentials are transmitted from the user interface engine to the user management engine1202for user authentication. If the login credentials do not match with those in the database1220, the GUI engine1204may generate a pop-up window requiring the user to re-enter the credentials. Further, when the system is idle, the GUI engine1204may generate graphical data on the centralized device for displaying a calendar, a clock, photos and/or weather forecast such that the users may readily obtain the date, time and/or weather information without accessing the centralized device.

The speech recognition engine1206is capable of processing input audio speech information, recognize what was spoken, and convert the spoken language into machine-readable commands. The audio speech information may be gathered from a microphone integrated into the centralized device or transferred directly from the user terminals. For example, a smartphone user may input audio speech via the microphone of the smartphone, and then transmit the audio speech to the speech recognition engine1206via the app installed on the smartphone. Then the speech recognition engine1206converts the audio speech into a command. The command is then passed to the command processing engine1208which will be described in more detail hereinafter.

The command processing engine1208receives commands and instructs a corresponding engine to perform various functions as commanded. As stated above, the commands may be generated by and transmitted from the speech recognition engine1206; however, the commands may also be generated by touching the graphical user interface generated by the GUI engine1204, or directly received from the user terminals of the users. Once the commands are received, the command processing engine1208reads these commands and accordingly instructs other engines to execute the commands. The category management engine1210allows users to manage customized categories and store entries under the categories. In one embodiment, family members may create daily life related categories, including but not limited to mortgage, grocery, emergency information, doctor appointments, bills, schedules, birthdays, medications, photos, documents, etc. In another embodiment, the members of a business organization may create business-related categories, such as employee contact information, staff receipts, inventory, etc. As an example, the user may touch a day on the calendar and enter an appointment event information into a pop-up dialog box generated by the GUI engine1204and select the category “appointments”. Then the appointment event may be saved under the category “appointments”. As another example, a user may access the centralized device and say “add apple to grocery”. The speech recognition engine1206translates the spoken phrase into a command for adding “apple” under the category “grocery”. The command is sent to the command processing engine1208, which then instructs the category management engine1210to generate an entry “apple” under the category “grocery”.

The document and image repository engine1212is used to store received documents and images in a storage medium1218. Further, the documents and images may be scanned from a scanner which is built in the centralized device. Moreover, the documents and images can be received from user terminals via a wireless network, or directly uploaded from a universal serial bus (USB) port. The storage medium1218may be arranged in the centralized device. However, the storage medium1218may also be a removable storage device, minimizing the risk of private documents and images being exposed on the internet. The document and image repository engine1212is also able to send the stored documents and images to external devices or user terminals via the wireless or wired network. For example, the document and image repository engine1212may send a photo to an external printer to print the photo out or to a user's smartphone via email. As illustrated inFIG. 11, the document and image repository engine1212also allows the stored documents and images to be shared with other centralized devices. In one embodiment, the document and image repository engine1212is able to generate photo scrapbook using the stored images.

The search engine1216is configured to identify any information related to a search query. In one embodiment, a search text box may be provided in the graphical user interface generated by the GUI engine1204. To conduct a search, the user may enter the desired search query into the search text box and initiate the searching process by, for example, clicking the “search” button in the search text box. The search engine1216receives the search query and then access the database1212and/or storage medium121for identifying calendar events, documents, images and/or any other information containing all the keywords in the search query. For examples, if the user provides the term “Jake's doctor appointments” as the search query, the search engine1216may identify calendar events that comprise the keywords “doctor”, “Jake” and “appointments”. The search engine1216also enables the users to retrieve information relevant to a particular category or date. In another embodiment, the search is performed using a voice command. For example, the user may say “show me the grocery list”, and the speech recognition engine1206translates the spoken phrase into a search command which is sent to the command processing engine1208. The command processing engine1208then instructs the search engine1216to pull up all the entries under the category “grocery”.

In one embodiment, the notification engine1214is configured to access the calendar events and generates notifications indicating the occurrence of the calendar events. For example, the notification engine1214is able to read the calendar events under the category “appointments” and generate notifications indicating the time of the appointments. The notification may be sent to the user terminals at or before the time of the appointments to remind the associated users of the appointments. In another embodiment, the notification is generated by one user and is sent to another user. As an example, the mom in a family may say “send a message to my son Jake” to the centralized device and then say the content of the message. The speech recognition engine1206translates the spoken message into text which is sent to the command processing engine1208. The command processing engine1208then instructs the notification engine1214to send the content of the message to her son, Jake. Further, the notifications may comprise visual, audio and/or tactile alerts.
