Activity-Based Relationship System

Abstract

A method of representing relationships among a plurality of entities based on analysis of on-line activity of the entities is provided. A computer system receives identity information for at least one entity for determining activity-based relationships. The computer system captures on-line activity data of the at least one entity. The computer system analyzes the activity data to identify other entities and subjects of interest. The computer system determines relationship activity metrics. The computer system presents, on a graphical display system based on the relationship activity metrics, the at least one entity, the other entities, and the subjects of interest as a set of nodes in an Activity-based connection diagram with relationship activity metrics. The computer system then presents, on a graphical display system based on the relationship activity metrics, connections among the nodes in the activity-based connection diagram.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 029,910, filed Jul. 28, 2014, and entitled “Dynamic User Interface.”BACKGROUND INFORMATION[0002]1. Field[0003]The present disclosure relates generally to an improved data processing system. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for identifying and displaying employee connections in an organization based on monitored on-line activities. Still more particularly, the present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for a graphic user interface used in identifying and displaying employee connections in an organization to facilitate a desired level of interaction therefore.[0004]2. Background[0005]Information systems are used for many different purposes. For example, an information system may be used to provide communication between, and distribute ideas amongst employees within an organization. Businesses rely on collaborative efforts facilitated by this com...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system and method for analyzing the online activity of individuals and groups of people to identify relationships between them. The system captures data on the individual's activity, such as email, meetings, and travel, and uses advanced analysis techniques to identify patterns and relationships between the data. The system then creates a visual representation of these relationships, showing nodes for each individual and the connections between them. This allows users to easily see who is connected to who and how they are connected. The technical effect of this system is to provide a more efficient and effective way to analyze and visualize relationships between people based on their online activity.

Problems solved by technology

These dependencies may not always be readily apparent to the individual employee working on a single aspect of a goal. as a result, individual employees often lack an understanding of how their work effort impacts and enables others to contribute to such goals.
