Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, that may be implemented on a system for identifying a schedule of events for a first user, the schedule of events comprising of one or more of appointments and travel arrangements; identifying a current location of the first user relative to a scheduled location of the first user based on the schedule of events; in response to a divergence between a current location and a scheduled location, projecting a latency for one or more remaining scheduled events; and in response to the projected latency meeting or exceeding an identified amount, identifying priorities among remaining scheduled events and rescheduling one or more remaining scheduled events based on the identified priorities.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

identifying a schedule of events for a first user, the schedule of events comprising of one or more of appointments and travel arrangements;

identifying a current location of the first user relative to a scheduled location of the first user based on the schedule of events;

in response to a divergence between a current location and a scheduled location, projecting a latency for one or more remaining scheduled events; and

in response to the projected latency meeting or exceeding an identified amount, identifying priorities among remaining scheduled events and rescheduling one or more remaining scheduled events based on the identified priorities.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein identifying a current location comprises using a global positioning system (GPS) in communication with a portable electronic device.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the projecting the latency for one or more remaining scheduled events is further based on current traffic conditions along an identified transportation path of a travel arrangement included in the first user'"'"'s schedule of events.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the identified amount of latency is dynamically determined.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising generating a proposed rescheduling of one or more remaining scheduled events based on the identified priorities and communicating the proposed rescheduling to the first user.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, further comprising in response to receiving a rejection of the proposed rescheduling of one or more remaining scheduled events, communicating a message to one or more additional users, the message identifying an expected delay of the first user.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the rescheduling one or more remaining scheduled events based on the identified priorities further comprises rescheduling the one or more remaining scheduled events based on one or more scheduled events for one or more invitees of appointments for the first user.

8. A machine-readable medium having stored thereon a set of instructions which when executed perform a method comprising:

identifying a schedule of events for a first user, the schedule of events comprising of one or more of appointments and travel arrangements;

identifying a current location of the first user relative to a scheduled location of the first user based on the schedule of events;

in response to a divergence between a current location and a scheduled location, projecting a latency for one or more remaining scheduled events; and

in response to the projected latency meeting or exceeding an identified amount, identifying priorities among remaining scheduled events and rescheduling one or more remaining scheduled events based on the identified priorities.

9. The machine-readable medium of claim 8, wherein identifying a current location comprises using a global positioning system (GPS) in communication with a portable electronic device.

10. The machine-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the projecting the latency for one or more remaining scheduled events is further based on current traffic conditions along an identified transportation path of a travel arrangement included in the first user'"'"'s schedule of events.

11. The machine-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the identified amount of latency is dynamically determined.

12. The machine-readable medium of claim 8, further comprising generating a proposed rescheduling of one or more remaining scheduled events based on the identified priorities and communicating the proposed rescheduling to the first user.

13. The machine-readable medium of claim 12, further comprising in response to receiving a rejection of the proposed rescheduling of one or more remaining scheduled events, communicating a message to one or more additional users, the message identifying an expected delay of the first user.

14. The machine-readable medium of claim 12, wherein the rescheduling one or more remaining scheduled events based on the identified priorities further comprises rescheduling the one or more remaining scheduled events based on one or more scheduled events for one or more invitees of appointments for the first user.

15. A system comprising:

a means for identifying a schedule of events for a first user, the schedule of events comprising of one or more of appointments and travel arrangements;

a means for identifying a current location of the first user relative to a scheduled location of the first user based on the schedule of events;

a means for projecting a latency for one or more remaining scheduled events, in response to a divergence between a current location and a scheduled location; and

a means for identifying priorities among remaining scheduled events and rescheduling one or more remaining scheduled events based on the identified priorities, in response to the projected latency meeting or exceeding an identified amount.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the means for identifying a current location comprises a means for using a global positioning system (GPS) in communication with a portable electronic device.

17. The system of claim 15, wherein the means for projecting the latency for one or more remaining scheduled events is based on current traffic conditions along an identified transportation path of a travel arrangement included in the first user'"'"'s schedule of events.

18. The system of claim 15, wherein the identified amount of latency is dynamically determined.

19. The system of claim 15, further comprising a means for generating a proposed rescheduling of one or more remaining scheduled events based on the identified priorities and communicating the proposed rescheduling to the first user.

20. The system of claim 19, further comprising a means for communicating a message to one or more additional users, in response to receiving a rejection of the proposed rescheduling of one or more remaining scheduled events, the message identifying an expected delay of the first user.
