  • Patent number: 10922662
    Abstract: A receiver receives a request to schedule a meeting from a user and in response, prompts the user to provide meeting information including time information and attendee information for scheduling the meeting. A meeting scheduler identifies potential dates and potential times based on the meeting information. The meeting scheduler further detects locations of the attendees based on the potential dates and identifies potential meeting locations based on attendees' location. The meeting scheduler also computes date scores for the potential dates, time scores for the potential times, and location scores for the meeting locations to select a date, a time, and a meeting location based on scores to determine a meeting schedule. The meeting scheduler further selects a conferencing mechanism for the meeting and provides the meeting schedule comprising the selected date, time, and meeting location, and the selected conferencing mechanism as a meeting invite option to the user.

  • Publication number: 20060067244
    Abstract: A facility for generating and using a unique identifier as a key to identify a unique user agent instance among multiple user agents of the same user is provided. The facility generates an identifier for a first user agent instance, which is an instance of a user in an application instance. The facility uses the identifier for a registration of the first user agent instance with a logical server, and associates the identifier with the first user agent instance and the logical server registration pair. The facility then uses the identifier for a subsequent registration of the first user agent instance with the logical server.
