Activity-centric granular application functionality
View Patent ↗A system that can enable the atomization of application functionality in connection with an activity-centric system is provided. The system can be utilized as a programmatic tool that decomposes an application's constituent functionality into atoms thereafter monitoring and aggregating atoms with respect to a particular activity. In doing so, the functionality of the system can be scaled based upon complexity and needs of the activity. Additionally, the system can be employed to monetize the atoms or activity capabilities based upon respective use.
1. A method that facilitates activity-centric atomization of an application, comprising:
evaluating, at a computing device, an application to identify capabilities within the application
separating, at a computing device, the application into a plurality of activity capabilities that are used to complete an activity, wherein the activity is a real world task completed by a user, and wherein the plurality of activity capabilities are identified through a probabilistic analysis of observed events that previously occurred through the application, wherein the probabilistic analysis is performed by a classifier that maps an input attribute vector for a capability to a confidence that the input attribute vector belongs to a class corresponding to the activity; and
displaying a user interface that only includes the plurality of activity capabilities, wherein the user interface is associated with the application.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of activity capabilities comprises at least one of a service and a view.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the service is at least one of a functionality and a resource.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the view is a mechanism to display the functionality aspects to a user.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a subset of the plurality of activity capabilities is located remotely from the other of the plurality of activity capabilities.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising combining a subset of the plurality of activity capabilities based at least in part upon the activity.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising defining an activity frame that identifies the subset of the plurality of activity capabilities associated with the activity.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the activity frame is a third-party template.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the activity frame is an ad hoc template, wherein a user pulls activities into the activity frame as needed.
10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising identifying the subset of the plurality of activity capabilities.
11. The method of claim 6 , further comprising evaluating the subset of the plurality of activity capabilities based upon a use to determine how much a user can be charged for using the subset of the plurality of activity capabilities.
12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising employing at least one of a probabilistic and a statistical-based analysis that infers an action that a user desires to be automatically performed.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the action is an aggregation of the subset of the plurality of activity capabilities.
14. One or more computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, that when executed by a computing device perform a method that facilitates activity-centric atomization of an application, the method comprising:
evaluating an application to identify capabilities within the application;
separating the application into a plurality of activity capabilities that are used to complete an activity, wherein the activity is a real world task completed by a user, and wherein the plurality of activity capabilities are identified through a probabilistic analysis of observed events that previously occurred through the application, wherein the probabilistic analysis is performed by a function that maps an input attribute vector for a capability to a confidence that the input attribute vector belongs to a class corresponding to the activity; and
displaying a user interface that only includes the plurality of activity capabilities, wherein the user interface is associated with the application.
15. The media of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of activity capabilities comprises at least one of a service and a view.
16. The media of claim 15 , wherein the service is at least one of a functionality and a resource.
17. The media of claim 14 , further comprising employing at least one of a probabilistic and a statistical-based analysis that infers an action that a user desires to be automatically performed.
18. The media of claim 17 , wherein the action is an aggregation of the subset of the plurality of activity capabilities.
