Location Information for Meeting Enhancement

摘要

Meeting organization and execution can be improved through the addition of invited participant location information, which can optionally be derived based on geo-location information accessed from at least one computing device used by the invited participant. Based on comparisons with meeting location information, participant status, including improved predictions of who will attend and how soon one or more participants will arrive can be generated for display in a user interface. In optional implementations, a meeting scheduling process can be improved by incorporation of current location information for one or more invited participants.
