Abstract
A method and system for scheduling an event at a computing device is described herein. The method includes the steps of receiving an event request at the computing device and—in response to the reception of the event request—presenting at least one event parameter. The method also includes the steps of receiving input related to the event parameter and automatically comparing the received input to schedule data. The method further includes the step of—based on the comparison of the received input to the schedule data—presenting one or more candidate time periods for the event that are in compliance with the received input.
Claims20
A method of scheduling an event at a computing device, comprising:
- receiving, at the computing device, an event request;
- in response to the receipt of the event request, presenting at least one event parameter;
- receiving input related to the at least one event parameter;
- automatically comparing the received input to schedule data;
- and
- based on the comparison of the received input to the schedule data, presenting one or more candidate time periods for the event that are in compliance with the received input.
A method of scheduling an event at a computing device, comprising:
- receiving, at the computing device, an event request that includes input related to at least one event parameter comprising a last permissible time for the event, a duration of time for the event, or a list of potential participants to be invited to the event;
- automatically comparing the input with schedule data to generate one or more candidate time periods for the event in accordance with the input;
- and
- presenting the candidate time periods for the event.
A computing device, comprising:
- an interface that is configured to receive input from a user and to present information to the user;
- and
- a processing unit that is communicatively coupled to the interface;
- wherein the interface is further configured to:
- receive an event request;
- in response to the receipt of the event request, present at least one event parameter from a set of event parameters comprising a last permissible time for the event, a duration of time for the event, or a list of potential participants to be invited to the event;
- receive input related to the at least one event parameter and communicate the input to the processing unit;
- based on an automatic comparison of the received input to a set of schedule data, present one or more candidate time periods for the event;
- wherein the processing unit is configured to perform the automatic comparison and to generate the candidate time periods.
