Abstract
A computer implemented method includes displaying a scheduling interface on a scheduling panel associated with a room. The scheduling interface includes a moveable slider. Movement of the moveable slider is sensed and converted into a signal representing a length of time. Release of the moveable slider is detected and ad hoc meeting information is generated in response to release of the moveable slider. The meeting information includes a room identifier, start time, and end time. The meeting information is uploaded into a scheduling system.
