  • Patent number: 11386397
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for providing cross-domain access to calendar availability are presented. A request to schedule an event may be received. The request may comprise an identity of an organizer user account, the organizer user account associated with a first domain, and an identity of an invitee user account, the invitee user account associated with a second domain. An importance level of the organizer user account to the invitee user account may be determined. A determination may be made as to whether the organizer user account has access to events in an electronic calendar associated with the invitee user account based on the importance level. One or more events that the organizer account has access to may be surfaced in an event scheduling assistant user interface associated with the organizer user account.

  • Patent number: 11030542
    Abstract: Techniques enable contextually-aware selections of event forums. Scheduling data can be analyzed to identify a context associated with an appointment. A forum that is appropriate for the identified context can be selected and utilized. The analysis can also utilize traffic data, map data, weather data, user preferences, and other contextual data to select one or more forums. A forum can be a place or communication medium. A service provider can associate one or more forums with a particular skill set. For example, a legal office can associate an online forum, such a videoconference, with a first category of services, and an on-site location for a second category of services. Depending on a category of services identified in one or more user preferences and/or meeting requests, a forum can be selected. Other factors, which may include weather conditions, traffic conditions, and commute times can also influence the selection of a forum.
