  • Patent number: 12387175
    Abstract: Traditionally, meetings are widely utilized in business and personal communications, whether in-person and/or virtual. Organizing such meetings typically involves multiple exchanges of content and messages between users before, during, and after the meeting. In some cases, meetings may occur impromptu and may result in inefficient and unproductive collaboration. A collaboration object configured to enable users to dynamically collaborate before, during, and after a meeting is provided. In aspects, the collaboration object links content generated before, during, and after the meeting in a single location and provides functionality for concurrent multi-user interaction and synchronization of the content across applications. The collaboration object may be available from a variety of application platforms, enabling and persisting real-time editing and collaboration before, during and after the meeting.

  • Publication number: 20180158030
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods relating to an automatic meeting invite processor. When processing a meeting invite, the automatic meeting invite processor may enforce a calendar booking rule, which may be comprised by a predicate and an action. The predicate may specify characteristics relating to the meeting invite, such as a sender, scheduled date/time, scheduled location, etc. The predicate may also relate to context associated with a recipient of the meeting invite (e.g., the recipient's calendar or mailbox content). When a predicate is satisfied, the automatic meeting invite processor may perform one or more actions, wherein an action may relate to the meeting specified by the meeting invite or to the meeting invite object itself. Thus, when the predicate is satisfied, the meeting invite may be automatically processed by the automatic meeting invite processor using the action specified by the calendar booking rule.
