MEETING RECURRENCE PLACEMENT OPERATOR: abstract simplified (18026808)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18026808 Titled 'MEETING RECURRENCE PLACEMENT OPERATOR'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system and method for allocating a recurring resource in an application to different users' computing devices. The system determines the frequency and range of the recurring resource, and then calculates a period based on this information. It accesses user resource data for each period and calculates a resource availability score. If the score for a particular period is below a certain threshold, the system allocates the recurring 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.
