MEETING RECURRENCE PLACEMENT OPERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18026808 Titled 'MEETING RECURRENCE PLACEMENT OPERATOR'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a system and method for allocating a recurring resource in an application to different users' computing devices. The system analyzes the frequency and range of the recurring resource and determines a period for allocation. It then calculates a resource availability score for each period based on user resource data. If the score falls below a certain threshold, the system allocates the resource to instances of the period where the score exceeds the threshold.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system and method for allocating a recurring resource is described. The system receives a request to allocate the recurring resource of an application to computing devices associated with one or more users. The system identifies a cadence of the recurring resource and a range based on the cadence. A period is determines based on the cadence and the range. The system accesses user resource data of the application for each period and iteratively computes a resource availability score for the period based on the corresponding user resource data. The system determines that the resource availability score of an instance of the period is less than a threshold value and allocates the recurring resource to instances of the period where the corresponding resource availability score exceeds the threshold value.
