Location Information for Meeting Enhancement
First Claim
1. A computer program product comprising a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
- accessing participant location information representative of a current location of an invited participant to a meeting;
comparing the participant location information to meeting location information for the meeting;
generating location status information for the invited participant based on the comparing of the participant location information and the meeting location information; and
providing location status information for display in a user interface as part of a meeting information view for the meeting.

Abstract
Meeting organization and execution can be improved through the addition of invited participant location information, which can optionally be derived based on geo-location information accessed from at least one computing device used by the invited participant. Based on comparisons with meeting location information, participant status, including improved predictions of who will attend and how soon one or more participants will arrive can be generated for display in a user interface. In optional implementations, a meeting scheduling process can be improved by incorporation of current location information for one or more invited participants.
