Abstract
A multi-session event invitation is described. A productivity application initiates operations to provide the multi-session event invitation upon detecting a request to schedule an event with session options. Invitee(s) and information associated with the session options is determined for the event. Next, the multi-session event invitation is generated based on the information associated with the session options. Furthermore, the multi-session event invitation is transmitted to the invitee(s).
Claims20
A computing device to provide a multi-session event invitation, the computing device comprising:
- a communication device configured to communicate with one or more other computing devices;
- a memory configured to store instructions associated with a productivity application;
- a processor coupled to the memory and the communication device, the processor executing the productivity application in conjunction with the instructions stored in the memory, wherein the productivity application includes:
- a scheduling module configured to:
- detect a request to schedule an event with two or more session options;
- determine one or more invitees and information associated with the two or more session options for the event;
- generate the multi-session event invitation based on the information associated with the two or more session options;
- and
- a communication module configured to:
- transmit, through the communication device, the multi-session event invitation to the one or more invitees.
A method executed on a computing device to provide a multi-session event invitation, the method comprising:
- detecting a request to schedule an event with two or more session options;
- determining one or more invitees and information associated with the two or more session options for the event;
- generating the multi-session event invitation based on the information associated with the two or more session options;
- transmitting the multi-session event invitation to one or more scheduling applications or services associated with the one or more invitees;
- and
- providing a highlighting scheme to one or more scheduling applications or services associated with the one or more invitees for rendering the multi-session event invitation, wherein the highlighting scheme renders the two or more session options in a contrast from other events in a calendar view.
A computer-readable memory device with instructions stored thereon to provide a multi-session event invitation, the instructions comprising:
- detecting a request to schedule an event with two or more session options;
- determining one or more invitees and information associated with the two or more session options for the event;
- generating the multi-session event invitation based on the information associated with the two or more session options;
- transmitting the multi-session event invitation to one or more scheduling applications or services associated with the one or more invitees;
- and
- providing a highlighting scheme to one or more scheduling applications or services associated with the one or more invitees for rendering the multi-session event invitation, wherein the highlighting scheme renders the two or more session options in a contrast from other events in a calendar view.
