Facilitating a meeting or education session
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer hardware processor, location data of a location associated with a meeting, wherein the meeting has a leader;
setting, by the computer hardware processor and based at least in part on the location data, a geo-fence;
receiving, by the computer hardware processor, check-in information from a member device associated with a member in an audience;
determining, by the computer hardware processor, if the member device includes a location sensor;
responsive to determining, by the computer hardware processor, that the member device includes a location sensor, locating the member device using location sensor information to determine if the member device is within the geo-fenceresponsive to determining, by the computer hardware processor, that the member device does not include a location sensor, locating the member device by identifying a locatable device having a known location and that is connected to or nearby the member device to determine if the member device is within the geo-fence;
collecting, by the computer hardware processor, feedback from a plurality of member devices, each member device associated with a a respective member of the audience; and
sending, by the computer hardware processor, the feedback to a leader device associated with the leader.

Abstract
Methods include receiving location data of a location associated with a meeting, and receiving check-in information from a member'"'"'s device associated with a member in an audience. The meeting has a leader. A geo-fence is set, based on the location associated with the meeting. The member'"'"'s device is determined whether it is within the geo-fence using at least one of (a) using a location sensor disposed within the member'"'"'s device; and (b) identifying a locatable device that has a known location and that is connected to or nearby the member'"'"'s device. Feedback from a plurality of devices associated with a group of members of the audience is collected, each one of the plurality of devices having its location determined as to whether it is within the geo-fence using at least one of (a) or (b) in conjunction with the collecting of feedback. The feedback is sent to the leader'"'"'s device.

14. A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions executable by a computer processor, the instructions causing the computer processor to:
-
receive location data of a location associated with a meeting, the meeting having a leader; receive check-in information from a member device associated with a member in an audience; set a geo-fence based on the location associated with the meeting; determine if the member device includes a location sensor; responsive to determining that the member device includes a location sensor, determine if the member device is within the geo-fence using the location sensor to locate the member'"'"'s device; responsive to determining that the member device does not include a location sensor, determine if the member device is within the ego-fence by identifying a locatable device that has a known location and that is connected to or nearby the member, device; collect feedback from a plurality of member devices, each member device associated with a a respective member of the audience; and send the feedback to a leader device associated with the leader. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
