Abstract
A system and method for activating bookmark files on a pervasive computing device is provided. When the pervasive computing device receives geographic coordinates from a global positioning system (GPS), it selects appropriate bookmarks for the user's location. The pervasive computing device compares geographic coordinate data received from the GPS with geographic matching data stored on the pervasive computing device. In addition, actions are taken to perform commands when the user is within the proximity of a location. Scheduling means are provided so that actions are performed during appropriate times. The pervasive computing device further connects to a computer network, such as the Internet, to access data files and to perform commands on external computing devices. If the commands are executed successfully, a success action is performed on the pervasive computing device. On the other hand, if errors were encountered a failure action is performed notifying the user of the error. Further disclosed are a system and a computer program product each providing active geographic-based bookmarks.
