DISPLAYING NOTIFICATIONS FOR STARTING A SESSION AT A TIME THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN A SCHEDULED START TIME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18539982 titled 'DISPLAYING NOTIFICATIONS FOR STARTING A SESSION AT A TIME THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN A SCHEDULED START TIME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes a system that provides notifications for joining a communication session based on trigger events occurring at times other than the scheduled start time. The notification informs users when at least one user from each of multiple organizational groups has joined the session, and includes an embedded control for users to request to join the session.

Original Abstract Submitted

A system provides a notification associated with joining a communication session based on trigger events that occur at a time other than a scheduled start time for the communication session. For example, the notification informs a user when at least one user from each of a plurality of organizational groups has joined the communication session. The notification can include an embedded control that, when activated by the user, causes a device of the user to transmit a join request to join the device to the communication session.
