Single User Interface Window Event Scheduling
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving an event request, the event request including one or more participant identifiers and a location identifier;
retrieving one or more participant schedules that correspond to the one or more participant identifiers;
retrieving a location schedule that corresponds to the location identifier; and
displaying the one or more participant schedules and the location schedule in a single user interface window.

Abstract
An approach to handling single user interface window event scheduling is presented. A user sends an event request to a scheduling tool, whereby the scheduling tool provides participant schedules, location schedules, and equipment schedules for the user to easily view in a single user interface window. In turn, the user may reserve a location, reserve equipment, and send invitations to participants using the single user interface window. In one embodiment, a user may prioritize an event whereby the scheduling tool associates an “event priority” with a reservation that is included in a location schedule. In this embodiment, when conflicts arise between a reserved event and a new event, the scheduling tool determines whether the new event has a higher priority than the reserved event. If so, the scheduling tool removes the reserved event from the location schedule and adds the new event to the location schedule.
