Scheduling system
First Claim
1. A scheduling system comprising:
- detection circuitry operatively connectable to an input device to detect an individual'"'"'s presence; and
a scheduling processor to receive schedule requests, to receive detection data from said detection circuitry and to determine whether the detection data satisfies a schedule request.

Abstract
A scheduling system includes a detection circuitry and a scheduling processor. The detection circuitry is coupled to a peripheral input device and receives data from the peripheral input device. The received data is analyzed to detect an individual'"'"'s presence and to generate information indicating whether an individual was detected. The scheduling processor includes a user input interface receiving schedule criteria and a data interface to receive information from the detection circuitry. The scheduling processor can analyze received schedule criteria and data from the detection circuitry to determine whether the schedule criteria are satisfied. Furthermore, the system includes an interface coupling the detection circuitry to the scheduling processor data interface.
