Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a meeting notification and automatic modification service. A system may be configured to identify an appointment in a calendar application, identify a geographic location of the appointment, and identify, before the appointment time, a geographic location of a first participant of the appointment. Based on the geographic information, the system may identify a route extending from the geographic location of the first participant to the geographic location of the appointment, and may identify a travel time associated with the route. Based on the travel time and the appointment time, the system may determine whether the first participant is estimated to arrive at the appointment on time and, based on the determination, the system may send a message to participants of the appointment or dynamically reschedule the appointment.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for scheduling a meeting with the best candidate(s). The user requests to schedule a meeting during a selected period of time. The system receives a set of rules concerning the scheduling of the meeting. Additionally, the system searches a past communication history (a past communication pattern) between the user and the individual(s) listed in a list of possible candidates. Furthermore, the system searches the calendar application for the individual(s) listed in the list to obtain scheduling information. The past communication history, calendar information and user's rules are analyzed with respect to the individual(s) listed in the list. Based on this analysis, a person deemed to be the best candidate is selected to receive a meeting invitation from the user to attend the meeting requested by the user during the selected period of time.

Abstract: An appointment matching apparatus facilitates event management by performing a method for scheduling appointments among attendees of an event. An event organizer configures the apparatus with event-specific information. The apparatus generates registration and appointment preference user interface forms that attendees use to register for the event and to request appointments with other attendees. The appointment preference form may receive from an attendee criteria for identifying other attendees with whom there is a desire to meet. An appointment matching process automatically schedules a set of appointments between/among matched attendees to optimize fairness or effectiveness over the entire set of scheduled appointments. The appointment matching process uses configuration data for the event, registration information, appointment preference criteria, and meeting location information.

Abstract: A scheduling grid is provided for displaying summary availability information for a group of users in a collaborative environment.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method provides location-sensitive and time-sensitive calendaring to a wireless device, such as a cell phone, pager, PDA, etc. A user's calendar is maintained with a number of appointments, start times and end times for the appointments, meeting place and a list of attendees for the appointments. When the present time reading is within a predetermined minimum of a meeting start time of an appointment of a calendar user, the location of the user is determined based on the location of the wireless device. The location of the meeting place is also determined. Using historical data (of the user or others), the estimated time of arrival of the user at the meeting place is determined. If the estimated time of arrival is after the meeting start time, then a late message may be sent to the user and/or to the other meeting attendees.

The case officer can drag and drop the name of probationers on an appointment calendar which will calculate an appointment schedule according to the location of each visit, the travel time between the visits, the default first visit time, and default last visit time. After the appointment schedule is calculated, the map will display the optimized route. The case officer can manually change the order of the visits and the apparatus will automatically recalculate the appointment schedule and the route. The invention can further process all the data used to calculate risk of recidivism to predict criminal activity in a given area using location specific information and data collected for probationer management.

Abstract: A system for providing feedback to a chairperson in an electronic meeting scheduling system to enable improved meeting resource management, in which a chairperson can indicate the attendance modes that are permitted for specific invitees to a meeting. The meeting invitations indicate to the invitees the attendance modes they are permitted to use. Meeting invitees are presented with user interface options allowing them to select from potentially multiple attendance modes, determined in response to inputs from the chairperson, and/or in response to information describing resources. As meeting resources are allocated to accepting invitees, those resources become unavailable for selection by subsequently accepting invitees. Meeting acceptances are collected such that indications of how accepting attendees will attend the meeting are made available in a chairperson interface so that the chairperson can adjust resources allocated for the meeting to reflect how accepting attendees are planning to attend.

Abstract: The computer program manages a mobile workforce with task persons and GPS-enabled devices by using the GPS time-based location data. A database is populated with task situs location data, event time data and task person data and task person contact data. The database is coupled to the web-based processor, telecommunications network and GPS-enabled device. The system operator programs temporal (time) based rules and location-based rules unique to the task situs. Some rules are both time and location based. When the temporal or territorial rules are violated, first and second comm-events are generated by the system, for example, a text or IVR message to the task person. When associated time-and-territorial rules are violated, a third communications event arises. The time based rules may be associated or correlated with the event time for the task. The event time may be a “time of arrival.” Further, rules may be for approach, entry, or on-location.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program products for scheduling and tracking preparatory work associated with electronic meeting invitations. When a meeting invitation is received and tentatively accepted, the user is prompted to enter the expected duration of the associated work. A floating block of time is created, subject to the constraint that it must be completed before the meeting convenes. If both the meeting and the floating block can be scheduled without irresolvable conflicts, they are added to the calendar, and a to-do associated with the floating block may be added to the to-do list. When an invitation for a second meeting conflicts with a first floating block associated with a first meeting, the first floating block may be rescheduled, within its completion-time constraint, to accommodate the second meeting.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for handling scheduling conflicts. The method can include a step of conveying scheduled events to a mobile communication device. Times associated with the events can be analyzed to determine potential conflicts. A set of previously established conflict resolution rules can be applied to the potential conflicts. Recommendations for resolving the potential conflicts can be generated based upon the applied rules. A notification of the potential conflicts and the generated recommendations can be presented to a user of the mobile device through an interface of the mobile communication device. The notifications and recommendations can occur a sufficient time before the potentially conflicting events occur to permit anticipatory actions to be taken to alleviate the conflicts before their occurrence.
