Abstract
Techniques are described for identifying alternative venues for an activity. In one aspect, techniques include receiving information corresponding to an activity at a scheduled location and scheduled time; receiving a current location of the user prior to the scheduled time; calculating a probability of the user arriving at the scheduled location at the scheduled time; and responsive to determining the probability is less than a predetermined threshold, identifying an alternative venue for the activity having resources to support the activity.
Claims20
A method for identifying alternative venues for a scheduled activity, the method comprising:
- receiving information corresponding to an activity at a scheduled location and scheduled time;
- receiving a current location of the user prior to the scheduled time;
- calculating a probability of the user arriving at the scheduled location at the scheduled time;
- and
- responsive to determining the probability is less than a predetermined threshold, identifying an alternative venue for the activity having resources to support the activity.
A computer system comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
- program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories to perform operations comprising:
- receiving information corresponding to an activity at a scheduled location and scheduled time;
- receiving a current location of the user prior to the scheduled time;
- calculating a probability of the user arriving at the scheduled location at the scheduled time;
- and responsive to determining the probability is less than a predetermined threshold,
- identifying an alternative venue for the activity having resources to support the activity.
A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving information corresponding to an activity at a scheduled location and scheduled time;
- receiving a current location of the user prior to the scheduled time;
- calculating a probability of the user arriving at the scheduled location at the scheduled time;
- and responsive to determining the probability is less than a predetermined threshold,
- identifying an alternative venue for the activity having resources to support the activity.
