A user location is monitored via a mobile electronic device and an indoor positioning system. An intended floorplan zone is obtained via calendar information, social media information, ticketing information, manual entry, or other suitable mechanism. User speed is monitored. Based on user speed and/or deceleration, nearby floorplan zone categories are checked. If the floorplan zone does not match the intended floorplan zone, but the category is identical to that of the intended floorplan zone, an alert is issued to the user via the mobile electronic device that is associated with the user. This provides an unobtrusive way to alert users before entering a room. Thus, disclosed embodiments can prevent disruptions, thereby increasing productivity and also serving to reduce embarrassment of users caused by entering the wrong location within a venue. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method comprising: obtaining a categorized venue floorplan; obtaining a schedule for a user; determining an intended floorplan zone corresponding to a timeslot for the schedule; determining a category for the intended floorplan zone; monitoring a current location of the user; monitoring a current speed of the user; and in response to detecting a speed reduction to a speed below a predetermined speed threshold in proximity to a floorplan zone that is at a different location than the intended floorplan zone and has an identical category to the intended floorplan zone, issuing an alert on an electronic mobile device associated with the user. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the predetermined speed threshold ranges from one foot per second to three feet per second. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the alert includes an audible alert. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the alert includes a tactile alert. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the alert includes a visual alert. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the visual alert includes an intended floorplan zone designator. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein obtaining the schedule comprises: obtaining an electronic purchase record; obtaining location information associated with the electronic purchase record; and obtaining timeslot information associated with the electronic purchase record. ### Claim 8 An electronic computing device comprising: a processor; a memory coupled to the processor, the memory containing instructions, that when executed by the processor, perform the steps of: obtaining a categorized venue floorplan; obtaining a schedule for a user; determining an intended floorplan zone corresponding to a timeslot for the schedule; determining a category for the intended floorplan zone; monitoring a current location of the user; monitoring a current speed of the user; and in response to detecting a speed reduction to a speed below a predetermined speed threshold in proximity to a floorplan zone that is at a different location than the intended floorplan zone and has an identical category to the intended floorplan zone, issuing an alert on an electronic mobile device associated with the user. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The electronic computing device of claim 8, wherein the memory further comprises instructions, that when executed by the processor, perform the step of setting the predetermined speed threshold in a range from one foot per second to three feet per second. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The electronic computing device of claim 8, wherein the memory further comprises instructions, that when executed by the processor, perform the step of generating an audible alert. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The electronic computing device of claim 8, wherein the memory further comprises instructions, that when executed by the processor, perform the step of generating a tactile alert. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The electronic computing device of claim 8, wherein the memory further comprises instructions, that when executed by the processor, perform the step of generating a visual alert. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The electronic computing device of claim 12, wherein the memory further comprises instructions, that when executed by the processor, perform the step of rendering an intended floorplan zone designator in the visual alert. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The electronic computing device of claim 8, wherein the memory further comprises instructions, that when executed by the processor, perform the steps of: obtaining an electronic purchase record; obtaining location information associated with the electronic purchase record; and obtaining timeslot information associated with the electronic purchase record. ### Claim 15 A computer program product for an electronic computing device comprising a computer readable hardware storage device having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the electronic computing device to: obtain a categorized venue floorplan; obtain a schedule for a user; determine an intended floorplan zone corresponding to a timeslot for the schedule; determine a category for the intended floorplan zone; monitor a current location of the user; monitor a current speed of the user; and in response to detecting a speed reduction to a speed below a predetermined speed threshold in proximity to a floorplan zone that is at a different location than the intended floorplan zone and has an identical category to the intended floorplan zone, issue an alert on an electronic mobile device associated with the user. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the computer readable hardware storage device includes program instructions executable by the processor to cause the electronic computing device to perform the step of generating an audible alert. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the computer readable hardware storage device includes program instructions executable by the processor to cause the electronic computing device to perform the step of generating a tactile alert. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the computer readable hardware storage device includes program instructions executable by the processor to cause the electronic computing device to perform the step of generating a visual alert. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The computer program product of claim 18, wherein the computer readable hardware storage device includes program instructions executable by the processor to cause the electronic computing device to perform the step of generating rendering an intended floorplan zone designator in the visual alert. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the computer readable hardware storage device includes program instructions executable by the processor to cause the electronic computing device to perform the steps of: obtaining an electronic purchase record; obtaining location information associated with the electronic purchase record; and obtaining timeslot information associated with the electronic purchase record.
