`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`Spatially associated reminder systems and methods enable
`users to create reminders and associate those reminders with
`entering/exiting particular trigger areas. A user's portable
`computing device triggers an alert/displays a reminder based
`upon a user entering and/or exiting a trigger area. A user
`interface Supported by the portable computing device allows
`a user to terminate the reminder so it will not trigger again, to
`defer the reminder So it triggers again after an elapsed time, to
`reset the reminder so that it triggers again only if a user leaves
`the area and then returns, to request a last chance, causing the
`portable computing device to remind the user again upon
`exiting the area to ensure the user did not forget to act upon the
`reminder, or to edit the reminder. The user interface also
`enables users to graphically define trigger areas within the
`physical world to be associated with personal digital remind
`-
