The user posts the meeting notice on the user's calendar. The posting routine of the calendar program reads the meeting notice and compares it with the user's posting profile which contains a plurality of search predicates. A search predicate includes one or more attributes of a calendar event notice, conjunctive specifications for the attributes, and specified criteria for each of the attributes. If certain attributes of the meeting notice match any number of the search predicates of the posting profile, the user's individual computer outputs an audio message associated with each search predicate found in the notice. | |
