Abstract

A computer system that provides a social network for traveling people includes software that maintains a list of members and buddies of the members. The software downloads schedule(s) from pre-determined schedule system(s). Each schedule has records with a person identifier, at least one date/time, and a location. The software searches the schedule(s) and extracts a subset of records in which the person identifier corresponds with a member from the list of members and the software creates layover entries from the subset. The software searches the layover entries for overlapping layovers, determined by a first member having a layover that overlaps with a layover of a buddy member (e.g. having the same or similar location and time/date). For each overlapping layover, the software notifies either the member and/or the buddy who have the overlapping layover.
