System and method for providing location-based appointment operations

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, at an input module included in a computing device, input indicating an instruction to perform an action related to appointments;
• responsive to the input indicating the instruction to perform the action related to appointments, use a plurality of location modules coupled to one or more processors of the computing device and employing a combination of location determination techniques to avoid or mitigate one or more limitations of a location determination technique in the combination of location determination techniques and to determine that a location of the computing device corresponds to a physical location where appointments are schedulable;
• and
• responsive to determining that the location of the computing device corresponds to the physical location:
• receiving, by the computing device and at the input module, input indicating a selected time for an appointment for acceptance of at least one or more promotions;
• receiving, via a network and using a communications module included in the computing device, one or more appointment locations alternative to the physical location and with capacity at the selected time and identified based on the physical location;
• receiving, via the input module, input requesting an action in relation to the appointment at the selected time;
• and
• sending, using the communications module, an indication to initiate the requested action.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device cause the computing device to:

• receive, via an input module of the computing device, input indicating an instruction to perform an action related to appointments;
• responsive to the input indicating the instruction to perform the action related to appointments, use a plurality of location modules coupled to the one or more processors of the computing device and employing a combination of location determination techniques to avoid or mitigate one or more limitations of a location determination technique in the combination of location determination techniques and to determine that a location of the computing device corresponds to a physical location where appointments are schedulable;
• and
• responsive to the determination that the location of the computing device corresponds to the physical location:
• receive, via the input module, input indicating a selected time for an appointment for acceptance of at least one or more promotions;
• receive, using a communications module of the computing device, one or more appointment locations alternative to the physical location and with capacity at the selected time and identified based on the physical location;
• receive, via the input module, input requesting an action in relation to the appointment at the selected time;
• and
• send, using the communications module, an indication to initiate the requested action.
