ROOM SCHEDULING SYSTEM

Abstract:

A room scheduling device is disclosed that provides a dial or knob for turning to adjust time being reserved. The room scheduling device further includes a tactile button to activating the device and setting a reservation after a duration has been selected via the dial. The room scheduling device further includes a software application running on a personal electronic device such as a smartphone. The software application identifies the room scheduling device via an identifier and then displays information from an electronic calendar system as an augmented reality. The system can further include an identifier on an exterior wall of the room that allows the software application to identify the space from a greater distance to allow users to identify and reserve space from a distance away from the room.
