Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein describe a method and system that create a user profile associated with a user. The user profile can include locations in which the user has worked and information relating to one or more devices associated with the user. The system can receive data from the devices and analyze the data to predict a work location of the user. Resources can be optimized based on the predicted work location of the user and the predicted work locations of other users.
Claims20
A computerized method comprising:
- creating, by a processor associated with an enterprise scheduling system, a user profile associated with a user, the user profile including information relating to one or more devices associated with the user and at least one work location, wherein a work location is a physical location where the user performs work associated with an organization;
- determining one or more locations of the one or more devices associated with the user;
- predicting a predicted work location of the user by at least one of:
- comparing the location of the one or more devices with previously documented work locations or using information from a calendar of the user;
- in response to the predicted work location being an office location of the organization, analyzing factors to determine whether the user can work at the office location,
- wherein the factors include resources at the office location;
- and
- in response to the determining that the user cannot work at the office location, sending a notification to one of the one or more devices associated with the user.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having machine executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, direct the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- creating, by a processor associated with an enterprise scheduling system, a user profile associated with a user, the user profile including information relating to one or more devices associated with the user and at least one work location, wherein a work location is a physical location where the user performs work associated with an organization;
- determining one or more locations of the one or more devices associated with the user;
- predicting a predicted work location of the user by at least one of:
- comparing the location of the one or more devices with previously documented work locations or using information from a calendar of the user;
- in response to the predicted work location being an office location of the organization, analyzing factors to determine whether the user can work at the office location,
- wherein the factors include resources at the office location;
- and
- in response to the determining that the user cannot work at the office location, sending a notification to one of the one or more devices associated with the user.
An enterprise scheduling platform, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the one or more processors cause the enterprise scheduling platform to:
- create, by a processor associated with an enterprise scheduling system, a user profile associated with a user, the user profile including information relating to one or more devices associated with the user and at least one work location, wherein a work location is a physical location where the user performs work associated with an organization;
- determine one or more locations of the one or more devices associated with the user;
- predict a predicted work location of the user by at least one of:
- comparing the location of the one or more devices with previously documented work locations or using information from a calendar of the user;
- in response to the predicted work location being an office location of the organization, analyze factors to determine whether the user can work at the office location,
- wherein the factors include resources at the office location;
- and
- in response to the determining that the user cannot work at the office location, send a notification to one of the one or more devices associated with the user.
