US Patent 8737950 Verifying calendar information through proximate device detection

A device stores a context aware application, and a calendar application that further stores data related to a scheduled meeting. The device receives local connectivity identification (LCID) information from one or more other devices that are proximate to the device. The device determines a likelihood that a user of the device is present at the scheduled meeting based on data related to the received LCID information from the one or more other devices that are proximate to the device. The device selectively executes a function associated with a context aware application based on the likelihood that the user is present at the scheduled meeting.
