Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are provided for scheduling an isochronous playback event to an electronic calendar. In one embodiment, the invention determines the time interval, determines whether the user has a block of time available for playback, and schedules the playback as an event on an electronic calendar. In another embodiment the invention schedules a partial playback time for when a complete playback time can not be scheduled. The invention may be initiated on reception of an isochronous data object by an electronic mail service. The user who requested automatic scheduling of reception on incoming isochronous data objects is notified of any automatic scheduling for playback events and optionally can have electronic reminders generated for scheduled playback events.
