System and method for interactive coordination of time schedules and project opportunities
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for automated coordination of time schedules and availability with job, assignment, or project opportunities using a network, the system comprising:
- a web engine operable to communicate with the network and to present a schedule survey form to a client of the network, the web engine further operable to receive from the client schedule data that is entered in the form; and
a web engine operable to communicate with the network and to present a project survey form to a client of the network, the web engine further operable to receive from the client project data that is entered in the form; and
a schedule mapping engine in communication with the schedule web engine, the schedule mapping engine operable to receive the schedule data from the schedule web engine and to generate at least one schedule identifier in response to parsing the schedule data, the schedule mapping engine further operable to index the at least one schedule identifier in response to the parsed schedule data, the at least one schedule identifier being linked to a schedule record, which schedule record stores the schedule data; and
a project mapping engine in communication with the project web engine, the project mapping engine operable to receive the project data from the project web engine and to generate at least one project identifier in response to parsing the project data, the project mapping engine further operable to index the at least one project identifier in response to the parsed project data, the at least one project identifier being linked to a project record, which project record stores the project data.

Abstract
A method and system for providing an interactive computer-driven project management coordination service in which project providers can advertise available jobs, projects, or projects on the Internet and service providers can display information about time schedules and availability. The method and system enables project and service providers to access via the Internet the data stored, to search said data for purposes of matching and coordinating projects with the requisite services, and to delete or alter said data as projects or time schedules change from day to day.

19. A method of automated coordination of time schedules and availability with job, assignment, and project opportunities, the method comprising:
-
parsing schedule data from a schedule survey in response to receiving the schedule data over the network;
parsing project data from a project survey in response to receiving the project data over the network;
storing the received schedule data in a schedule record;
storing the received project data in a project record;
generating a plurality of schedule identifiers related to the parsed schedule data, each schedule identifier being linked to a schedule record;
generating a plurality of project identifiers related to the parsed project data, each project identifier being linked to a project record;
comparing the schedule data to schedule data categories of a schedule index;
comparing the project data to project data categories of a project index;
assigning each of the schedule identifiers to a schedule data category in response to the compared schedule data; and
assigning each of the project identifiers to a project data category in response to the compared project data. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

a computer program encoded on the computer-readable medium, the computer program operable to be executed on a computer, the computer program further operable to;
parse schedule data from a schedule survey in response to receiving the schedule data;
parse project data from a project survey in response to receiving the project data;
store the received schedule data in a schedule record;
store the received project data in a project record;
generate a plurality of schedule identifiers related to the parsed schedule data, each schedule identifier being linked to a schedule record;
generate a plurality of project identifiers related to the parsed project data, each project identifier being linked to a project record;
compare the schedule data to schedule data categories of a schedule index;
compare the project data to project data categories of a project index;
assign each of the schedule identifiers to a schedule data category in response to the compared schedule data; and
assign each of the project identifiers to a project data category in response to the compared project data. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
