Description:
The idea behind the Personal Virtual Assistant (PVA) is creation of an inexpensive, reliable and easy to use assistant. PVA will include two digital cameras and a touch-screen display with the computer on the back end. PVA will be mounted on the door of the person whom it will serve. The assistant will identify the user using the User Identification System (UIS) and then assist him with a variety of possible solutions. Such solutions will include easy access to the supervisor’s schedule with the option of adding or deleting a meeting using an easy and friendly user interface. The visitor will see right away all the available slots for possible appointments time and would simply be able to add him to the list. The supervisor will see all the appointments with important details such as visitor’s picture, history of previous meetings with this person, and a short description of current and past meetings. The schedule will be available online as well. Both visitors and the supervisor will be able to cancel the meeting, doing this will automatically update the schedule and send e-mail to both of them that meeting was canceled. Both people will be able to enable the option to get notification of upcoming meeting by e-mail.
