Definitions

• the computing device 104 has at least one processor 106, a memory area 108, and at least one user interface 126.
• the processor 106 includes any quantity of processing units, and is programmed to execute computer-executable instructions for implementing aspects of the disclosure. The instructions may be performed by the processor 106 or by multiple processors executing within the computing device 104, or performed by a processor external to the computing device 104. In some embodiments, the processor 106 is programmed to execute instructions such as those illustrated in the figures (e.g., FIG. 2).
• the application #1 (11 OA) through application #N (HOB) have their respective execution contexts associated therewith.
• application #l 's execution context is memory area portion #1 (112A)
• application #N's execution context is memory area portion #N (112B), as illustrated in FIG. 1.
• the memory area portion #1 (112 A) associated with application #1 (110A) and the memory area portion #2 (112B) are within the computing device 104 (see FIG. 1), and represent working memory and/or persistent memory.
• data relating to the calendar event 114 is obtained by the application 110A from the memory area portion 1 12B (outside the execution context of application 110A) within the computing device 104.
• some or all the memory area portion #1 (112A) and/or memory area portion #2 (112B) may be outside the computing device 104 (not shown).
• the photographs in the photo album and the social network messages are stored in the memory area portion 112B outside the execution context of the application 110A with which the calendar event 114 is associated, while the application 110A maintains a link or reference (e.g., a uniform resource identifier) to the data stored in the memory area portions 112B.
• a link or reference e.g., a uniform resource identifier
• related data to the calendar event 114 is obtained by performing a device-wide text-based search for the data.
• related data to the calendar event 114 is obtained by performing an Internet search.
• the data may be obtained by performing a search for the data using the location as a search term. If the calendar event 114 has a start time associated therewith, the data is obtained by performing a search for the data based on the start time of the calendar event 114.
• the data relating to the calendar event 114 may be obtained based on any characteristic or property of the calendar event 114 (e.g., end date, end time, duration, etc.).
• an exemplary user interface illustrates selection of the calendar event 114 in a calendar application.
• the calendar application is executed and at 304, the user 102 may direct the computing device 104 to display the calendar event 114 in a particular portion of the user interface 126 (e.g., a start screen, a lock screen, etc.), at a particular time (e.g., upon bootup, upon unlock of the computing device 104, etc.), and the like.
• the user 102 pins the calendar event 114 (e.g., an appointment may be pinned by pressing and holding the calendar event 114 displayed on a touch screen display) to a start screen of the computing device 104 for quick access and visibility.
• the pinned events 114 are considered important to the user 102 and related content for the pinned events 114 is obtained from content sources 118, which are outside the execution context of the calendar application with which the pinned events 114 are associated.
• exemplary UI elements illustrate examples of screens containing data relating to the calendar event 114. As shown by the arrows between the screens, the screens may be displayed to the user 102 in sequence.
• the UI element 116 presents an image relating to the calendar event 114 superimposed with related data obtained via a text-based search based on a location and/or context of the user 102 (e.g., from digital scratchpad applications and/or other applications supporting free-form information gathering and multi-user collaboration).
• the UI element 116 associated with the application 11 OA may receive and present information about Hawaii trip reservations (e.g., hotel, restaurants, show tickets, etc.) obtained from the memory area portion #2 (which is outside the execution context of the application 110A).
• Hawaii trip reservations e.g., hotel, restaurants, show tickets, etc.
