Identifying meeting attendees using information from devices

摘要

Physical presence of a mobile device in proximity to a physical meeting place can be recognized. Identifying information can be retrieved from the device, and it can be determined whether the identifying information correlates to identifying information for a profile in an invitee list for a current meeting at the meeting place. If the retrieved identifying information correlates to identifying information for the profile in the invitee list for the meeting at the meeting place, then the profile can be included as an attendee at the meeting (e.g., by including identifying information for the profile in an attendee list). The identifying information such as the attendee list may also be used to perform one or more additional acts, such as sending notifications, personalizing settings, etc.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
a computer system automatically recognizing physical presence of a first mobile device in proximity to a physical meeting place; the computer system automatically retrieving a first set of identifying information from the first device; the computer system automatically determining that the first set of identifying information from the first device correlates to identifying information for a first profile in an invitee list for a current meeting at the meeting place; in response to determining that the retrieved first set of identifying information correlates to identifying information for the first profile in the invitee list for the meeting at the meeting place, automatically including the first profile as an attendee at the meeting; the computer system automatically recognizing physical presence of a second mobile device in proximity to the physical meeting place; the computer system automatically retrieving a second set of identifying information from the second device; the computer system automatically determining that the second set of identifying information does not correlate to identifying information for a profile in the invitee list for the current meeting at the meeting place; and in response to determining that the second set of identifying information does not correlate to identifying information for a profile in the invitee list, automatically displaying a prompt that is configured to receive user input approving inclusion of a second profile corresponding to the second set of identifying information as a profile at the meeting, the prompt also being configured to alternatively receive user input denying inclusion of the second profile corresponding to the second set of identifying information as a profile at the meeting.
