METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMICALLY PROCESSING EVENTS BASED ON AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF TIME CONFLICTS

摘要

Methods and apparatus for dynamically processing events based on automatic detection of time conflicts are disclosed. An example method includes accessing first time and date information from a user schedule, the user schedule including a scheduled item; sending a request for second time and date information associated with a first event; generating a visual notification that the first event conflicts with the scheduled item, based on the second time and date information and the first time and date information; receiving third time and date information from a server, the third time and date information associated with an alternate event associated with the desired transaction; receiving travel information corresponding to the third time and date information from the server; facilitating a transaction based on the alternate event and the third time and date information; and updating the user schedule to include the third time and date information.

主权项

1. One or more tangible computer readable storage devices comprising computer readable instructions which, when executed, cause a processor of a mobile device to at least:
access first time and date information from a user schedule, the user schedule including a scheduled item represented by the first time and date information; send a request for second time and date information associated with a first event associated with a desired transaction; generate on the mobile device a visual notification that the first event conflicts with the scheduled item, the visual notification being generated based on the second time and date information and the first time and date information; access third time and date information from a server, the third time and date information associated with an alternate event associated with the desired transaction; access travel information corresponding to the third time and date information from the server; facilitate completion of the transaction based on the alternate event and the third time and date information; and update the user schedule to include the third time and date information.
