1. A system for accessing a schedule of an area:
- (a) an NFC tag encoding an application identifier and an address of the area; and
(b) a portable electronic device comprising an NFC interface configured for enabling communication between the portable electronic device and the NFC tag, a network interface configured for enabling communication between the portable electronic device and a scheduling server, a display, a memory encoding one or more processor-executable instructions and a processor configured to load the one or more processor-executable instructions when encoded from the memory wherein the one or more processor-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause acts to be performed comprising;
(i) reading the address and the application identifier encoded on the NFC tag via the NFC interface of the portable electronic device,(ii) opening a scheduling application associated with the application identifier,(iii) receiving from a scheduling server a schedule of the area associated with the address encoded on the NFC tag, and(iv) displaying the schedule on the display.

Abstract
A portable electronic device communicates with an NFC tag and a scheduling server to manage the schedule of a conference room. The portable electronic device receives an address and an application identifier from the NFC tag and opens a scheduling application in response. The portable electronic device then communicates with a scheduling server to receive the schedule of the address stored on the NFC tag. The user may reserve the area and set a number of presets through the scheduling application. Updates to the schedule are communicated to the scheduling server from the portable electronic device.
