Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for managing appointments. A sensor module receives sensor data input. The sensor data is then analyzed by an analysis module which determines if actions are required. In the event actions are required, a scheduling module checks a user'"'"'s calendar to determine if a suitable opening is available. In the event a suitable opening is available, the opening is confirmed with the user. If the user confirms the opening, an appointment is entered in the user'"'"'s calendar. If the action required needs external assistance, such as a mechanic, the scheduling module also checks the relevant calendar for the external assistance. Suitable openings are then found in both the user'"'"'s calendar and the relevant external assistance calendar. If these openings match, the user is then contacted to confirm if the opening is acceptable. If the opening is acceptable, the appointment is then entered in both calendars.
