Space guidance and management system and method
First Claim
1. A guidance system for helping users locate specific affordance configurations for use within an open enterprise space, the system comprising:
- a stationary display field located within the open enterprise space, the display field controlled to present glanceable guidance information to a system user;
a database storing affordance configuration schedules and user schedules;
a processor programmed to automatically perform the steps of;
(i) determining that a first user is proximate the display field;
(ii) in response to determining that the first user is proximate the display field, examining the first user'"'"'s schedule information to identify activities scheduled for the first user within a threshold period of time;
(iii) determining, based on the first user'"'"'s schedule information, that the user is scheduled to participate in a collaborative activity within the threshold period of time;
(iv) in response to determining that the user is scheduled to participate in the collaborative activity within the threshold period of time, examining the affordance configuration schedules to identify at least one affordance configuration within the enterprise space that is available and that is suitable for the collaborative activity; and
(v) automatically presenting the identified at least one affordance configuration via the display field in a glanceable fashion as a suggestion to the first user as a location for the collaborative activity while the first user is proximate the display field.

Abstract
A guidance system for helping users locate specific affordance configurations for use within an enterprise space, the system comprising a stationary display field located within the enterprise space, the display field controlled to present guidance information to a system user, a database storing affordance configuration schedules and user schedules, a processor programmed to automatically perform the steps of obtaining location information for a set of users within the enterprise space, for at least a first user proximate the display field, examining the first user'"'"'s schedule information to identify locations of activities scheduled for the first user within a threshold period of time, identifying at least one affordance configuration within the enterprise space that is proximate the locations of the activities scheduled for the first user within the threshold period of time and automatically presenting the identified at least one affordance configuration via the display field as a suggestion to the first user while the first user is proximate the display field.

8. A guidance system for helping users locate specific affordance configurations for use within an open enterprise, the system comprising:
-
a display field located within the open enterprise; a database storing affordance configuration schedules and user schedules; a processor programmed to automatically perform the steps of; (i) determining that a first user is proximate the display field; (ii) in response to determining that the first user is proximate the display field, examining the first user'"'"'s schedule information to identify activities scheduled for the first user within a threshold period of time; (iii) determining, based on the first user'"'"'s schedule information, that the user is scheduled to participate in a first collaborative activity within the threshold period of time with a second user in the open enterprise; (iv) examining the affordance configuration schedules to identify at least one affordance configuration within the open enterprise that is available and that is suitable for the collaborative activity; and (v) automatically presenting the identified at least one affordance configuration via the display field in a glanceable fashion as a suggestion to the first user as a location for the collaborative activity while the first user is proximate the display field. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A guidance system for helping users locate specific affordance configurations for use within an open enterprise, the system comprising:
-
a display field located within the open enterprise; a database storing affordance configuration schedules and user schedules; a processor programmed to automatically perform the steps of; (i) determining that a first user is proximate the display field; (ii) in response to determining that the first user is proximate the display field, examining the first user'"'"'s schedule information to identify activities scheduled for the first user within a threshold period of time; (iii) determining, based on the first user'"'"'s schedule information, that the user is scheduled to participate in a first collaborative activity within the threshold period of time; (iv) examining the affordance configuration schedules to identify at least one affordance configuration within the open enterprise space that is available proximate to a first affordance configuration suggested to the first user as a base station, and that is suitable for the collaborative activity; and (v) automatically presenting the identified at least one affordance configuration via the display field as a suggestion to the first user as a location for the collaborative activity while the first user is proximate the display field. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
