Abstract

See full text

A method and a system for confirming an event using a short-range wireless communications network are disclosed. The mechanism includes various steps including monitoring the event, verifying the event, and performing a function when the event is verified. In one embodiment, a series of events are initially entered in a scheduling database such as a calendar software. Once the events are stored in the scheduling database, the mechanism monitors the events in accordance with a predefined sequence. In one aspect, the events may be ordered in a chronological order. If an occurrence of the event according to a predefined sequence is detected, the mechanism obtains ambient information using its short-range wireless capability to verify the actual occurrence of the event. Upon verifying the occurrence of the event, the mechanism performs a function, which can be a predetermined function or a real-time instructed function.
