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 represented by the first time and date information; identifying second time and date information associated with a first event associated with a desired transaction; determining that the first event conflicts with the scheduled item by comparing the second time and date information with the first time and date information; identifying third time and date information associated with an alternate event in association with the desired transaction; determining that the alternate event does not conflict with the scheduled item by comparing the third time and date information with the first time and date information; and facilitating completion of the transaction based on the alternate event and the third time and date information.

主权项

1. A tangible computer readable storage device comprising computer readable instructions which, when executed, cause a processor 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; identify second time and date information associated with a first event associated with a desired transaction; determine that the first event conflicts with the scheduled item by comparing the second time and date information with the first time and date information; identify third time and date information associated with an alternate event in association with the desired transaction; determine that the alternate event does not conflict with the scheduled item by comparing the third time and date information with the first time and date information; and facilitate completion of the transaction based on the alternate event and the third time and date information.
