Abstract
An approach is provided for determining a time of an alarm. Natural language processing determines a meaning of user input which specifies the alarm, an event, an action, and an amount of time. The alarm notifies the user about the action the user is to take prior to the event, which will occur at an indefinite time. The alarm is triggered at a time that precedes an estimated time of the event by the amount of time. Information is retrieved that describes movements and usage of a mobile device of the user, profile information, historical user behavior, calendar appointments, messages sent and received by the user of the user, and social network contacts and user-generated content. The estimated time of the event is generated. The time of the alarm is determined as a time that precedes the estimated time of the event by the amount of time.
