Abstract
A meeting room scheduling system may include at least one room occupancy sensor configured to be positioned within the meeting room and a controller coupled to the at least one room occupancy sensor. The controller may be configured to schedule periodic meetings for the meeting room with a requested meeting time, and determine actual occupancy times of the meeting room over a plurality of the periodic meetings based upon the at least one room occupancy sensor. The controller may also be configured to reschedule remaining ones of the periodic meetings with a rescheduled meeting time based upon the determined actual occupancy times being different than the requested meeting time.
