A store cooperation support apparatus (1) according to the present invention includes: an acquisition unit (11) that acquires, through a sales site of a first store (an online store 2) capable of selling a predetermined product online, a trial request including date and time information indicating a date and time at which a predetermined customer wants to try the product in a physical store; and a setting unit (12) that sets a disclosure period for disclosing, based on the date and time information, disclosure information including interest information of the customer about the product in the first store to a second store (a physical store 4 or 5) capable of physically selling the product.

Graphically movable objects are rendered that automatically populates properties of the meeting with a predetermined meeting type and a duration. In response to placement of a selected graphically movable object on a calendar, a start time for a scheduled meeting is determined. The scheduled meeting is added to the calendar having the start time and the predetermined meeting type.

A method for use in a computing device, comprising: receiving an invite for a communications session; obtaining context information associated with the invite; generating a signature for the invite based on the context information; generating an attendance score for the invite by evaluating a neural network based on the signature for the invite, the attendance score being an estimate of a degree of importance of attending the communications session; generating a response to the invite based on the attendance score, the response indicating whether a user of the computing device accepts or rejects the invite; and transmitting the response to a sender of the invite.

A system, method and apparatus for configuring a node in a sensor network. A sensor service can enable sensor applications to customize the collection and processing of sensor data from a monitoring location. In one embodiment, sensor applications can customize the operation of nodes in the sensor network via a sensor data control system.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that optimize interfaces to present information on mobile device displays. In one aspect, a method includes generating and providing, to a device, data that causes the device to present a status of one or more segments between a first location and a second location within a calendar interface. The calendar interface includes a calendar and, for each date having at least one existing segment, a respective non-textual segment indicator for each existing segment for the date. Each segment indicator is presented using visual feature(s) that represent the status of the segment represented by the segment indicator. A determination is made that the status of a given segment has changed to a second status. The visual feature(s) of the segment indicator for the given segment are visually updated within the calendar interface to represent the second status.

A meeting server includes at least one processor and at least one memory storing program code performing operations that include to establish tracking of a tracked person's scheduled meetings by a follower person. The meeting server also operates to generate a notification to a device of the follower person based on the tracked person adding a scheduled meeting to a schedule of scheduled meetings maintained by a meeting scheduling program.

An online dating service provides matchmaking by finding a relationship match based on a comparison of preferences of one person to personal information of the other, and a compatibility score derived by comparing answers of the two persons to several surveys. The interested person can set a threshold value for the compatibility score to cull low-compatible matches, and can view a match's answers to decide if they want to proceed with an in-person meeting. Once both parties agree, an invitation is sent to set up the in-person meeting by asking each party to pay a one-time fee. If both parties confirm the invitation, the server debits their accounts and enables a date setup protocol. That protocol automatically selects one of the parties as a date initiator based on their genders and indications from each of them as to whether or not they want to decide the date details.

A method of facilitating a fleet exchange includes retrieving a fleet and retrieving a set of workers, analyzing the fleet and the set of workers using smart scheduling to generate allocations, and displaying the allocations to the workers. In another aspect, a non-transitory computer readable medium includes program instructions that when executed, cause a computer system to receive vehicle allocation request, retrieve worker information and a worker calendar, generate an allocation, and display the allocation in a display device. A computing system for facilitating fleet exchange includes one or more processors and a memory including computer executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to retrieve a fleet and a set of workers, analyze the fleet and the set of workers to generate allocations, and display the allocations in a respective computing device of the workers.

The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises systems and methods of remote scheduling of calendar and other means based queues and reminders to a user of a presentation device. The user of the presentation device may be suffering from a progressive cognitive disorder, and the queues and other care provided may be provided remotely by a loved one or other administrator.

A computer program product for prioritizing order fulfillment at a retail sales facility, including the steps of: a) receiving purchase request information at a retail sales computing device that includes identifying information and order information for the first customer, b) receiving location information for the first customer, c) processing the received location information for the first customer together with location information of the retail sales facility to predict an estimated time of arrival (ETA) for the first customer at the retail sales facility, d) scheduling a time interval for acquiring updated location information for the first customer, and e) placing the identifying information, order information and ETA for the first customer in an order fulfillment queue for all current customers. Entries in the order fulfillment queue are ordered in increasing ETA order, whereby order fulfillment activities can proceed according to the order of order requests in the order fulfillment queue. ETA is continuously updated for each customer, and thereby the order for fulfilling customer orders in the order fulfillment queue. For example, if a customer's distance from the retail sales facility increases (for example, due to a mistaken turn), that customer's order will drop to a later-served position in the queue. The location information for the first customer includes GPS-based location information of the first customer that is captured by a GPS device associated with a mobile computing device of the first customer. The location information for the retail sales facility includes GPS-based location information of the retail sales facility. The ETA prediction is performed using the GPS-based location information of the first customer and the GPS-based location information of the retail sales facility.
