20130318079 | Relevance Analysis of Electronic Calendar Items - A user's electronic calendar may be analyzed to identify those calendar items that relate to a specific topic or classification. The classification may identify, for example, business or personal items, or items relating to a specific project, task, or other classification. The analysis may classify calendar items by a set of heuristics as well as by associations between calendar items and with other databases. The associations may include analysis of a user's contact list, social networks, and other information. | 11-28-2013 |
20130315042 | Geo-normalization of Calendar Items - Calendar items may be analyzed to determine the physical location of an event defined in a calendar item. When a resolvable location is not included in the calendar item, other information may be used to increase the probability and accuracy of the location. For example, meeting attendees, adjacent meetings, meeting metadata, or similar meetings may be used to augment or verify a location for a calendar item. In some cases, external data from social networks, Global Positioning System input, or other data may also be used. Some embodiments may operate in a two-step analysis, where the first step may identify a boundary, and a second step may search within that boundary for potential matching locations. The location of a calendar item may be used for various auditing purposes, such as verifying work, mileage, or receipt logs, or for generating reports indicating the physical location of a person, device, or event. | 11-28-2013 |
