COORDINATION BETWEEN OVERLAPPING WEB CONFERENCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17453783 titled 'COORDINATION BETWEEN OVERLAPPING WEB CONFERENCES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method, computer system, and computer program for resolving conflicts in meeting schedules. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The system receives registrations for two virtual meetings, each including a list of attendees, a meeting time, and a host.
  • It identifies any time overlap between the two meetings.
  • It identifies any conflicts where a person is scheduled to attend both meetings.
  • It resolves the conflicts by generating and sending a coordinating message to the hosts.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be used in various industries and organizations where virtual meetings are common, such as businesses, educational institutions, and government agencies.
  • It can be integrated into existing meeting scheduling software or platforms to automate conflict resolution and improve efficiency.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Conflicts in meeting schedules can cause confusion, delays, and inefficiencies.
  • Manually resolving conflicts can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
  • This technology automates the conflict resolution process, saving time and ensuring that all attendees can participate in their scheduled meetings.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency: By automatically identifying and resolving conflicts, this technology streamlines the meeting scheduling process and reduces the need for manual intervention.
  • Enhanced collaboration: Attendees can participate in multiple meetings without conflicts, allowing for better collaboration and decision-making.
  • Time savings: The automated conflict resolution eliminates the need for back-and-forth communication between hosts and attendees to reschedule conflicting meetings.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for meeting schedule conflict resolution are provided. A registration for a first virtual meeting that includes a first list of persons scheduled to virtually attend, a first meeting time, and a host is received. A registration for a second virtual meeting that includes a second list of persons scheduled to virtually attend, a second meeting time, and another host is received. A time overlap of the first meeting time and the second meeting time is identified. A meeting schedule conflict that includes a first person being in the first list and in the second list is identified. The meeting schedule conflict is resolved via generating and transmitting a coordinating message to at least one of the host and the other host.
