Systems and methods for delivering an entity report associated with an attendee of a calendared event
View Patent ↗Systems and methods for delivering an entity report associated with an attendee of a calendared event are disclosed. A method for delivering an entity report associated with an attendee of a calendared event includes determining, by a computer, an entity associated with the attendee of the calendared event. The method further includes retrieving, by the computer, entity data based on the determined entity and generating the entity report. The entity report includes the retrieved entity data. The method further includes delivering the generated report.
1. A method for delivering an entity report associated with an attendee of a calendared event, the method comprising:
determining, by a computer, an entity associated with the attendee of the calendared event;
retrieving, by the computer, entity data based on the determined entity;
generating the entity report, wherein the entity report includes the retrieved entity data; and
delivering the generated report.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the entity data is retrieved from an entity data database.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving a message including an entity portion associated with the attendee of the calendared event, wherein the entity associated with the attendee of the calendared event is determined based on the entity portion of the received message.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein the message includes an e-mail address and the entity portion is a domain name of the e-mail address, and the entity associated with the attendee of the calendared event is determined based a domain-name lookup of the domain name.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the entity associated with the attendee of the calendared event is determined based on an e-mail address associated with the attendee of the calendared event.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein the entity associated with the attendee of the calendared event is determined based on a domain name of the e-mail address.
7. The method of claim 6 further comprising extracting the domain name from the e-mail address.
8. The method of claim 5 wherein the entity associated with the attendee of the calendared event is determined by retrieving the entity from a domain name mapping database that maps the domain name to the entity.
9. The method of claim 1 wherein the generated report is delivered via e-mail.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein the generated report is delivered prior to the calendared event.
11. The method of claim 1 wherein the calendared event is scheduled through an e-mail, scheduling, or calendaring application.
12. The method of claim 11 wherein the calendared event is scheduled through Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes.
13. The method of claim 1 wherein the entity is determined in response to a user scheduling the calendared event.
14. The method of claim 1 wherein the entity is determined in response to a user receiving an invitation to the calendared event.
15. A system for delivering an entity report associated with an attendee of a calendared event, the system comprising:
a computing device that comprises a non-transitory memory component that stores a set of executable instructions that causes the computing device to:
determine an entity associated with the attendee of the calendared event;
retrieving entity data based on the determined entity;
generate the entity report, wherein the entity report includes the retrieved entity data; and
deliver the generated report.
16. The system of claim 15 wherein the entity associated with the attendee of the calendared event is determined based on an e-mail address associated with the attendee of the calendared event.
17. The system of claim 16 wherein the entity report is delivered via e-mail prior to the calendared event.
