Excerpt
Excerpt "A method and apparatus provide an advanced scheduling and messaging system in which information about an appointment is received from a user. Information about an attendee associated with the appointment, including attendee notification information, is also received. When it is determined that the user will be late for the appointment, an attendee notification message is automatically generated using the attendee notification information. Appointment time information and appointment location information can also be received by the scheduling system along with user location information. It can then be determined if the user will be late for the appointment based on the user location information, the appointment location information, the appointment time information and a time associated with the user location information."
"In addition to sending the message to an attendee, the scheduling unit 300 may receive a response back from an attendee. For example, a message delivered using the telephone 410 might state "I am running 45 minutes late. Press 1 to reschedule our meeting to 10:45 am. Press 2 to cancel our meeting." The scheduling unit would then record the attendee's response and may send a message, such as a pager or e-mail message, back to the user. Similarly, the scheduling unit 300 may ask the attendee to leave a voice message for later delivery to the user. The appropriate message, requested response, and other user information can be stored as a user profile in the scheduler database 350." |
