Abstract

A system and method for scheduling with sharing, including: scheduling one or more of a plurality of event programs for a set of registered users via a scheduling platform; obtaining a set of sharing settings from a first registered user of the registered users that define a set of conditions for sharing a set of information pertaining to one or more of the event programs scheduled by the first registered user with the registered users other than the first registered user; and sharing the information with one or more of the registered users other than the first registered users in accordance with the sharing settings.

Claims

a user profile module that enables the first registered user to use the sharing settings to define a set of conditions for sharing the information with the registered users other than the first registered user.

2. The scheduling platform of claim 1, wherein the information comprises at least one itinerary for attending one or more of a set of event programs scheduled by the first registered user via the scheduling module.

3. The scheduling platform of claim 1, wherein the information comprises at least one rating of one or more of the event programs attended by the first registered user.

4. The scheduling platform of claim 1, wherein the information comprises at least one rating of one or more of the registered users other than the first registered user as a travel partner.

5. The scheduling platform of claim 1, wherein at least one of the conditions is based on a friendship status of one or more of the registered users.

6. The scheduling platform of claim 1, wherein at least one of the conditions is based on an institution associated with one or more of the registered users.

8. The scheduling platform of claim 1, wherein at least one of the conditions is based on a demographic characteristic of one or more of the registered users.

9. The scheduling platform of claim 1, wherein the sharing module generates a list of sharing candidates from among the registered users other than the first registered user in response to the conditions, the list enabling the first registered user to send a sharing invite to one or more of the registered users on the list.

10. The scheduling platform of claim 1, further comprising an itinerary module that enables a subset of the registered users to share at least one cost associated with an itinerary for attending one or more of the event programs.

11. A method for scheduling with sharing, comprising:

scheduling one or more of a plurality of event programs for a set of registered users via a scheduling platform;

sharing the information with one or more of the registered users other than the first registered users in accordance with the sharing settings.
