A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SCHEDULING A REMINDER IN A CALENDAR
A) TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The disclosed subject matter relates generally to the field of calendaring system in a computing device. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system and method for scheduling a reminder in a calendar of a user by a third party in a distributed computing environment.
B) BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[002] Today’s busy life schedule makes us forget many deadlines assigned to our children for homework, assignments, or exams related things from school. Remembering important events and meetings is a cumber some and challenging task for a user amidst the number of tasks the user needs to perform. As is evident, it is a common practice to schedule reminders for the important events.
[003] Most of the times it feels very terrified to remind a forgetful person repeatedly to complete the discussed or given task and this happens when the completion of that task is very important. According to a research, it is found that reminding someone repeatedly to complete a task by calling consumes much more time of the day.
[004] It is also observed that, many unknown person schedules reminders without any reason using reminder scheduling/sharing systems and platforms which disturbs scheduled routines. Also taking decisions on the each and every received reminder waste our time and may distract us from our ongoing work.
[005] Many times family members, office colleagues, educational institutes, unknown people need to assign tasks to be done which may be important. They may assign a task by using available internet based network. However, internet connectivity may be non- accessible often and may lead the user to miss receipt of otherwise necessary reminders in real-time. For example, during traveling because of internet issue or dis-connectivity problems, these reminder request may not be processed and received, thereby leading the user to miss many important deadlines/events. Therefore, a method and system is required that overcomes the problems of the prior arts as mentioned above.

• accepting the reminder scheduling request from the third party of the favourite category,
• rejecting the reminder scheduling request from the third party of the blocked category, and
• requesting the user to accept or reject or modify the reminder scheduling request from the third party of the general category and unknown category.
[047] Further, if the third party is of unknown category and the user accepts or rejects or modifies the reminder scheduling request, then the user is requested to add the third party in any of favourite, blocked or general category.
[048] In an embodiment, if a verification module 305 determines that the date and time of a shared or a scheduled reminder from the third party of any of the favorite, general and unknown category is already blocked, then the notification module 308 of the server 102 notifies accordingly to the third party.
[049] In an embodiment, after taking predefined action of accepting the reminder scheduling request from the third party of any of the plurality of categories, an alarm is fixed for that particular date and time in the computing device 103 of the user.
[050] In an exemplary embodiment, when a user electronically receives reminder scheduling request in the calendar and plurality of inputs from the third party via server 102, then the verification of plurality of inputs of the third party is performed to identify a category of the third party based on plurality of categories pre-defined in the list. According to the identified category of the third party, a predefined action is taken by server 102. Thereafter, the server 102 updates the scheduled event reminder list in network 101 connected computing device 103 of user as per action taken by server 102 or user itself. Lastly, an alarm is fixed for a particular date and time regarding the reminder scheduling request in the computing device 103 of the user 104.
