Patent number: 10699251Abstract: A service scheduling system (1) is configured to retrieve schedule information from a time-management system (2) of a service provider, whereat the schedule information assigns service intervals offered by the service provider to a plurality of clients. The service scheduling system (1) comprises a detector (13) configured to detect an event indicating that a client cannot be served in a first service interval assigned to said client according to the schedule information. The service scheduling system (1) further comprises a transmitter configured to transmit, to a communication terminal (3?) of a further client, information specifying a second service interval which is at least partly overlapping the first service interval, and a receiver configured to receive, from the communication terminal (3?) of the further client, acknowledgment information indicating that the further client agrees to get served in the second service interval.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Klaus Zimmermann, Aurel Bordewieck
