System and Method for Auto Detecting and Informing Missing Meeting Attendees to Join a Meeting

Abstract

Embodiments are provided for detecting and handling missing meeting attendees. The embodiments include mechanisms to detect and notify missing attendees to join a meeting, and inform a meeting organizer of the status of missing attendees. The missing attendees are detected using user equipment (UE) and location determining technology. Additionally, UE sensor technology is used to estimate arrival time of expected attendees. A UE of the organizer detects present attendees in a meeting location using a near range wireless connection with UEs of the present attendees. The organizer's UE then detects a missing attendee from the meeting in accordance with a pre-established list of invitees and the detected present attendees, and sends a notification message including a reminder of the meeting to a UE of the missing attendee. The UE of the missing attendee also receives a message to activate a wireless positioning service capability.
