AUTOMATIC RESERVATION OF MEETING SPACE THROUGH COMMUNAL MEETING DEVICE

摘要

Sometimes meetings are scheduled on short notice, and finding an available meeting space in which to hold them may be difficult. Embodiments are directed to automatic reservation of a meeting space through a communal meeting device located therein allowing users to efficiently initiate meetings without the concern of being later disrupted and kicked out of the meeting space. For example, the communal meeting device may detect user activity within the meeting space and determine whether the meeting space has a scheduled meeting that intersects with a first time period starting with the detected activity. If there is no scheduled meeting that intersects, the communal meeting device may transmit a request to a communication service to reserve the meeting space for the user for the first time period, and initiate a meeting for the user at the meeting space for a duration of the first time period.
