Abstract

An approach for authorizing a cancelled meeting room action includes receiving a notification of an unavailable meeting room for a scheduled meeting and determining a meeting context for the scheduled meeting based, on at least one of a meeting subject, a meeting agenda, a plurality of meeting minutes, or one or more meeting action items using at least one of natural language processing or semantic analysis. The approach includes determining whether an elapse time for a meeting room action is past for the scheduled meeting. When the elapse time is past, determining a first invitee on a prioritized list of a plurality of meeting invitees to provide with a temporary meeting room action authorization. The approach includes sending to the first invitee, a notification of the temporary meeting room action authorization for the scheduled meeting and determining whether the first invitee has performed a meeting room action.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method comprising:
receiving, by one or more computer processors, a notification of an unavailable meeting room for a scheduled meeting; determining, by the one or more computer processors, a meeting context based, at least in part, on at least one of a meeting subject, a meeting agenda, a plurality of meeting minutes, or one or more meeting action items using at least one of natural language processing or semantic analysis; determining, by the one or more computer processors, whether an elapse time for a meeting room action is past for the scheduled meeting with the unavailable meeting room; responsive to determining the elapse time for the meeting room action is past for the scheduled meeting with the unavailable meeting room, determining, by the one or more computer processors, a first invitee on a prioritized list of a plurality of meeting invitees to the scheduled meeting to provide with a temporary meeting room action authorization, wherein the prioritized list is in ascending order from a most relevant invitee to a least relevant invitee to the scheduled meeting and wherein the ascending order is determined by at least one of a comparison of information on each invitee of the plurality of meeting invitees to one or more of the meeting context, an invitee length of time on a project associated with a meeting subject of the scheduled meeting, or an invitee availability, wherein the comparison of information is based, at least in part, on one of a correlation of a number of key words in the retrieved information matching one or more key words in the meeting context, a length of time in the project, or the most relevant invitee available for the pre-set time; sending, by the one or more computer processors, to the first invitee, a notification of the temporary meeting room action authorization for the scheduled meeting; determining, by the one or more computer processors, whether the first invitee has performed a meeting room action in a second elapse time; responsive to determining the meeting room action is not performed for the scheduled meeting in the second elapse time, determining, by the one or more computer processors, a second invitee on the prioritized list on the plurality of meeting invitees to provide with a temporary meeting room action authorization; and sending, by the one or more computer processors, a notification of the temporary meeting room action authorization to the second invitee.
