Abstract

A method includes receiving an input data from a host to schedule a meeting. The input data may include invitees to the meeting and a time/date associated with the meeting. A first and a second set of invitees from the invitees are determined. The first set of invitees is identified to start a pre-meeting meeting prior to the meeting scheduled at the time/date. The second set of invitees is identified to start the meeting at the time/date. It is appreciated that the pre-meeting meeting and the meeting are merged into a single meeting at a predetermined threshold of time.

Claims (38)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving input data from a host to schedule a meeting at a time and a date, wherein the input data includes an invitee to the meeting;

accessing a tardiness profile associated with the invitee; and

generating a calendar invite for the invitee at a first time prior to the time and the date responsive to a tardiness profile of the invitee exceeding a first threshold, wherein the calendar invite includes an option for the invitee to select a device to be used for the meeting.

2. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 1 , wherein the calendar invite includes an option to automatically receive a call.

3. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 1 , further comprising starting the meeting by calling the device selected by the invitee.

4. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 1 , wherein the calendar invite includes a link associated with the meeting.

5. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 4 , further comprising starting the meeting by automatically instantiating the link by the device selected by the invitee.

6. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 1 , wherein the input data further includes a time associated with the meeting.

7. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 6 , further comprising starting the meeting at a predetermined threshold of time from the time associated with the meeting.

8. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a calendar invite for the meeting at a second time prior to the time or date for a second invitee responsive to a tardiness profile of the second invitee exceeding a second threshold.

9. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 1 , further comprising:

starting the meeting in absence of the host responsive to reaching a quorum.

10. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 1 , further comprising:

sending reminders to the host at regular intervals in response to the host being late to the meeting scheduled at the time or date.

11. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 1 , further comprising calling the host automatically in response to the host failing to join the meeting at the time or date after a predetermined threshold of time.

12. A system, comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions to:

receiving input data from a host to schedule a meeting, wherein the input data includes an invitee to the meeting;

accessing a tardiness profile associated with the invitee; and

generating a calendar invite for the invitee at a first time prior to the time and the date responsive to a tardiness profile of the invitee exceeding a first threshold, wherein the calendar invite includes an option for the invitee to select a device to be used for the meeting.

13. The system as described in claim 12 , wherein the calendar invite includes an option to automatically receive a call.

14. The system as described in claim 12 , wherein the instructions further comprise starting the meeting by calling the device selected by the invitee.

15. The system as described in claim 12 , wherein the calendar invite includes a link associated with the meeting.

16. The system as described in claim 15 , wherein the instructions further comprise starting the meeting by automatically instantiating the link by the device selected by the invitee.

17. The system as described in claim 12 , wherein the input data further includes a time associated with the meeting.

18. The system as described in claim 17 , wherein the instructions further comprise starting the meeting at a predetermined threshold of time from the time associated with the meeting.

19. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, when executed by a processor, cause:

receiving input data from a host to schedule a meeting, wherein the input data includes an invitee to the meeting;

accessing a tardiness profile associated with the invitee; and

generating a calendar invite for the invitee at a first time prior to the time and the date responsive to a tardiness profile of the invitee exceeding a first threshold, wherein the calendar invite includes an option for the invitee to select a device to be used for the meeting.

20. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium as described in claim 19 , wherein the calendar invite includes an option to automatically receive a call.

21. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium as described in claim 19 , wherein the instructions further comprise starting the meeting by calling the device selected by the invitee.

22. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium as described in claim 19 , wherein the calendar invite includes a link associated with the meeting.

23. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium as described in claim 22 , wherein the instructions further comprise starting the meeting by automatically instantiating the link by the device selected by the invitee.

24. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium as described in claim 19 , wherein the input data further includes a time associated with the meeting and the instructions further comprise starting the meeting at a predetermined threshold of time from the time associated with the meeting.
