  • Patent number: 11368580
    Abstract: Many users have presence information on more than one system. Maintaining such systems may be burdensome and error prone. By automatically parsing an out-of-office message on a first system (e.g., email) for configuring a second system (e.g., telephony) duplicative work may be avoided as one system configures the other system. Accordingly, an out-of-office text message may be automatically parsed to determine attributes (e.g., start/end of absence) and who to contact for certain issues. The email system may then automatically configure a telephony system to provide voice prompts extracted from the email system and the opportunity for a caller to be routed to delegates telephone numbers based on the delegates identified in the email out-of-office message.

  • Publication number: 20210049531
    Abstract: Calendaring applications are common tools to schedule a resource, such as a person or a device. Often calendars have inaccurate entries where events are scheduled but not attended, in whole or in part, or attended but not on a schedule. As a result, a scheduled resource may appear allocated when available or vice versa. By utilization device logs and comparing entries in a calendar database, actual availability and/or utilized events may be determined and the calendar data entries updated to reflect actual utilization (or lack thereof).

  • Patent number: 10848908
    Abstract: A determination is made that a mobile user communication device (e.g., a smartphone) is in spatial proximity to a first user communication device (e.g., a desktop computer). In response to determining that the mobile user communication device is in spatial proximity to the first user communication device, shared communication information is received from the mobile user communication device. For example, the shared communication information may be a list of user contacts. A determination is made that the mobile user communication device is no longer in spatial proximity to the first user communication device. In response to determining that the mobile user communication device is no longer in spatial proximity to the first user communication device, the shared communication information is automatically deleted on the first user communication device.
