receive a first response signal from the present user in response to the first prompt message.

8. The smart conference room system of claim 7 , wherein, upon a determination that the first response signal requests the extension of the present period of time to an extended period of time overlapping with a subsequent period of time, the memory further stores computer-executable instructions for controlling the one or more processors to:

transmit a second prompt signal to a subsequent user of a subsequent meeting requesting approval on request for the extension of the present period of time to the extended period of time; and

receive a second response signal from the subsequent user in response to the second prompt signal;

wherein, upon a determination that the second response signal approves the request for the extension of the present period of time to the extended period of time, the memory further stores computer-executable instructions for controlling the one or more processors to generate a notification signal notifying the present user the request for the extension of the present period of time to the extended period of time being approved.

9. The smart conference room system of claim 8 , wherein the memory further stores computer-executable instructions for controlling the one or more processors to:

prior to expiration of the extended period of time, generate an update signal; and

transmit the update signal to a subsequent user indicating that the conference room has become available.

10. The smart conference room system of claim 1 , wherein the status check signal comprises a reminder signal.

11. The smart conference room system of claim 10 , wherein the memory further stores computer-executable instructions for controlling the one or more processors to:

receive the reminder signal when the status update signal indicates that the conference room is occupied.

12. The smart conference room system of claim 11 , wherein the signage comprises a touch control display panel configured to display a reminder object; and

wherein the memory further stores computer-executable instructions for controlling the one or more processors to activate the reminder object upon receiving a touch signal on the touch control display panel, thereby receiving the reminder signal from the signage.

13. The smart conference room system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more terminal devices comprise a portable device;

wherein the memory further stores computer-executable instructions for controlling the one or more processors to generate a bar code signal and transmit the bar code signal to the signage, causing to display a two-dimensional bar code on the signage; and

prior to receiving the reminder signal, initiate, by the two-dimensional bar code, a user interface on a portable device of a subsequent user, upon the two-dimensional bar code being scanned by the portable device, wherein the user interface allows the subsequent user to send the reminder signal.

14. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
