Estimating Time Of Arrival
First Claim
1. A method comprising the following computer-executable acts:
- receiving an indication of a first geographic location;
automatically determining a second geographic location of a personal computing device of a first individual upon receipt of a request from a second individual, wherein the second geographic location is indicative of a current geographic location of the first individual; and
outputting, to the second individual, an expected time of arrival of the first individual at the first geographic location based at least in part upon the determined second geographic location.

Abstract
Described herein is a system that includes a location determiner component that receives a first geographic location of a personal computing device of a first individual, wherein the first geographic location is indicative of a current geographic location of the first individual. The system also includes an estimator component that receives a second geographic location that is different from the first geographic location. The estimator component determines an estimated time of arrival for the first individual at the second geographic location based at least in part upon the received first geographic location, wherein the estimator component outputs the estimated time of arrival to a second individual.

15. A system comprising the following computer-executable components:
-
a location determiner component that receives a first geographic location of a personal computing device of a first individual in response to receipt of a request from a second individual, wherein the first geographic location is indicative of a current geographic location of the first individual; and an estimator component that receives a second geographic location that is different from the first geographic location, wherein the estimator component determines an estimated time of arrival of the first individual at the second geographic location based at least in part upon the received first geographic location, wherein the estimator component outputs the estimated time of arrival to the second individual. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform the following acts:
-
extract a location of a meeting and attendees of the meeting from calendar data, wherein the attendees of the meeting include at least a first attendee and a second attendee; determine a geographic location of a personal computing device of the first attendee in response to receipt of a request from the second attendee; determine an estimated time of arrival of the first attendee to the location of the meeting based at least in part upon the determined geographic location of the personal computing device of the first attendee; and output the estimated time of arrival of the first attendee to a personal computing device of the second attendee.
