Abstract

A method and system for generating document recommendations is provided. An example system comprises a task commencement detector to detect commencement of a subject task in an enterprise management system, a similar tasks detector to determine one or more further tasks that are same or similar to the subject task, a document access information detector to determine one or more documents from a document management system that were accessed in association with any of the tasks from the one or more further tasks, a document selector to select at least one recommendation document, and a recommendation generator to generate a recommendation comprising the identified recommendation documents.

Claims (36)

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

detecting commencement of a subject task in an enterprise management system;

determining one or more further tasks in the enterprise management system that are same or similar to the subject task;

determining one or more documents from a document management system that were accessed while a task from the one or more further tasks is being executed;

selecting at least one recommendation document from the one or more determined documents; and

generating, using at least one processor, a recommendation comprising the at least one recommendation document.

2 . The method of claim 1 , comprising delivering the recommendation to a client computer system associated with a user performing the subject task.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the delivering of the recommendation comprises delivering the recommendation to a desktop widget executing on the client computer system.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the delivering of the recommendation comprises communicating the recommendation to a web browser executing on the client computer system.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the delivering of the recommendation comprises pushing the recommendation to the client computer system in response to a triggering event.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each document from the determined one or more documents comprise reading metadata, the reading metadata comprising information about access to a document by one or more users contemporaneously with executing any of the one or more further tasks.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the selecting of the at least one recommendation document is based on the reading metadata.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the reading metadata comprises reading duration information.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the reading metadata comprises frequency of access information.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining one or more documents from a document management system that were not accessed contemporaneously with executing any of the one or more further tasks.

11 . A computer-implemented system comprising:

at least one processor;

a task commencement detector to detect commencement of a subject task in an enterprise management system;

a similar tasks detector to determine one or more further tasks in the enterprise management system that are same or similar to the subject task;

a document access information detector to determine one or more documents from a document management system that were accessed while a task from the one or more further tasks is being executed;

a document selector to select, using the at least one processor, at least one recommendation document from the one or more determined documents; and

recommendation generator to generate, using at least one processor, a recommendation comprising the at least one recommendation document.

12 . The system of claim 11 , comprising a recommendation delivery module to deliver the recommendation to a client computer system associated with a user performing the subject task.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the recommendation delivery module is to communicate the recommendation to a desktop widget executing on the client computer system.

14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the recommendation delivery module is to communicate the recommendation to a web browser executing on the client computer system.

15 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the recommendation delivery module is to push the recommendation to the client computer system in response to a triggering event.

16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein each document from the determined one or more documents comprise reading metadata, the reading metadata comprising information about access to a document by one or more users contemporaneously with executing any of the one or more further tasks.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the document selector is to select the at least one recommendation document based the reading metadata.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the reading metadata comprises one or more of reading duration information and frequency of access information.

19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the document access information detector is to determine one or more documents from a document management system that were not accessed in association with the one or more further tasks.

20 . A machine-readable non-transitory medium having instruction data to cause a machine to:

detect commencement of a subject task in an enterprise management system;

determine one or more further tasks in the enterprise management system that are same or similar to the subject task;

determine one or more documents from a document management system that were accessed while a task from the one or more further tasks is being executed;

select at least one recommendation document from the one or more determined documents; and

generate, using at least one processor, a recommendation comprising the at least one recommendation document.
