INTEREST BASED CALENDAR
Matteo Corea, Lorenzo Blanco · 2015
An autopopulated calendar can be created according to interests of a user using the interest based calendar system. The system receives a selection of one or more interest categories and filter criteria for those interest categories for the generation of the interest based calendar from the user. The interest categories can be any area of interest such as food, sports, travel, shopping, etc. The filter criteria can be a time range or a geographic location etc. The system identifies events from different organizers that satisfy the selected categories and the respective filter criteria as set up by the user. The system also filters the identified events based on user data such as user history or feedback about particular events. Finally, the system generates one or more interest based calendars from the filtered events. PROBLEM STATEMENT It is timeconsuming and cumbersome to discover and keep track of events that are of interest to a user. These interests could vary from technology to food, dance, travel, etc. The process usually involves the user to subscribe to some provider channel or social network group, identify the interesting events from the subscribed channel or group, filter the events according to personal preference, and save them to a personal calendar. This process is not userfriendly and requires significant continuous input and curation from the user. INTEREST BASED CALENDAR SYSTEM
