PROVIDING EVENT DATA TO A GROUP OF CONTACTS
First Claim
1. A system for providing event data to a group of contacts, the system comprising:
- a data store that stores event records, each event record including data related to an event; and
a computing device in communication with the data store, the computing device operative to;
obtain an event coordination request from a mobile computing device, the event coordination request including data related to an event of interest to a group of contacts who are to participate in the event;
generate an event record based on the event coordination request obtained from the mobile computing device, the event record including the data related to the event of interest to the group of contacts, which data is updated as the event occurs; and
publish the data related to the event of interest to one or more contact computing devices, each contact computing device associated with a contact of the group, wherein the event data is published such that the data related to the event of interest is displayed substantially continuously upon the contact computing device as the event occurs and the data is updated.

Abstract
Data related to an event is provided to a group of contacts while the event is occurring via an event user interface that enables the group of contacts to coordinate with one another during the event. In this regard, an event coordination service is provides the event data to each contact of the group for review via an event user interface that is persistently displayed on a telecommunication or other computing device associated with the contact for the contact'"'"'s easy and immediate reference during the event. When the event ultimately concludes, display of the event user interface ceases as the group of contacts likely no longer needs immediate or ready reference to the event.

10. A method for providing data related to an event to a group of contacts as the event occurs, the method comprising:
-
as implemented by one or more computing devices configured with specific executable instructions, generating an event record including data related to an event of interest to a group of contacts, which event data is updated as the event occurs by one or more contacts of the group; and causing the event data to be displayed upon one or more computing devices, each computing device associated with a contact of the group, wherein the event data is displayed persistently upon the computing device as the event occurs and the event data is updated as the event occurs by one or more contacts of the group. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A system for enabling a group of contacts to share data related to an event as the event occurs, the system comprising:
-
a data store that stores data related to one or more events; and a computing device in communication with the data store, the computing device operative to; obtain data related to an event of interest to the group of contacts, which data is stored in the data store and updated as the event occurs by at least one contact in the group; and cause the data related to the event of interest to be displayed on one or more computing devices, each computing device associated with a contact of the group, wherein the data related to the event of interest is displayed in an area of prominence on the computing device for a duration of the event. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)

40. A computer-readable medium having a computer-executable component for enabling a group of contacts to coordinate with each other during an event, the computer-executable component comprising:
an event coordination component operative to; obtain data related to an event of interest to the group of contacts as the event occurs; and generate a user interface including said data for display on a computing device associated with a contact of the group, wherein the user interface is a top level user interface displayed on the computing device during the event, and wherein the user interface is updated during the event as data related to the event is obtained. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49)
