CALENDAR APPLICATION FEATURES

摘要

This application relates to a calendar application that can suggest alternative times and locations for events based on scheduling conflicts of invitees of the events. Suggestions for alternative times can include new times for the originally proposed event, and the names of any invitees that cannot attend during one or more of the alternative times. The calendar application can group the suggestions for alternative times based on the invitees that cannot attend at each alternative time. Additionally, the calendar application can determine whether the number of invitees will fit into a proposed location for the event, and suggest alternative locations based on the number of invitees.
