Actionable widget cards
A system includes at least one processor, a message system running on the at least one processor to create an actionable widget card, the message system includes a database to store parameters for the actionable widget card and pre-defined rules concerning card definitions; and at least one card product system to receive a trigger and to generate the actionable widget card according to said trigger, where the message system enables communication via the actionable widget card between a backend non-interactive external system and at least one user of the backend non-interactive external system.
1 . A system comprising;
at least one processor;
a message system running on said at least one processor to create, update and transfer an actionable widget card (AWC) associated with a product, said message system comprising:
a database to store parameters for said actionable widget card and pre-defined rules concerning card definitions, a product classification taxonomy and collected business intelligence (BI) related to said product;
wherein said business intelligence comprises at least one of: pricing data, product views and sales results;
an insight analyzer to at least analyze said business intelligence to generate business insights for said actionable widget card about said product, said insights comprising at least one of: design recommendations, site content recommendations, and targeted promotions to improve sales for said product;
at least one product card system to receive a trigger and to create, update or transfer said actionable widget card according to said trigger, said business intelligence, said product classification taxonomy, said pre-defined rules and said business insights;
wherein said message system enables communication for said product via said actionable widget card between a backend non-interactive external system and at least one user of said backend non-interactive external system.
2 . The system according to claim 1 wherein said actionable widget card comprises parameters of: a card type, a visual display and at least one action.
3 . The system according to claim 2 also comprising an external sensor associated with said at least one user to receive external real-world information being any of: environmental, biometric, physiological or psychological parameters; and
wherein any of said external real-world information controls said visual display of said actionable widget card.
4 . The system according to claim 1 and also comprising at least one of:
a card transferrer to transfer said actionable widget card to a second user of said backend non-interactive external system or to a second system based on a request from a first user of said backend non-interactive external system; and
a card transformer to transform at least one of: content, fields and attributes of said actionable widget card according to transformation rules and to create at least one new actionable widget card, based on a request from said at least one user.
5 . The system according to claim 4 wherein said card transformer splits at least one actionable widget card into at least two actionable widget cards.
6 . The system according to claim 4 wherein said transformation rules are at least one of: generic system level rules and rules related to potential system operations associated with interactions of said at least one user with said actionable widget card.
7 . The system according to claim 1 wherein said trigger is one of: a direct action of said at least one user, a request from said at least one user, an external real-world sensor event, and a time-based activity.
8 . A method comprising;
creating, updating and transferring an actionable widget card AWC) associated with a product, said creating, updating and transferring comprising:
storing parameters for said actionable widget card and pre-defined rules concerning card definitions, a product classification taxonomy and collected business intelligence (BI) related to said product;
wherein said business intelligence comprises at least one of: pricing data, product views and sales results;
analyzing said business intelligence to generate business insights for said actionable widget card about said product, said insights comprising at least one of: design recommendations, site content recommendations, and targeted promotions to improve sales for said product;
receiving a trigger; and
creating, updating or transferring said actionable widget card according to said trigger, said business intelligence, said product classification taxonomy, said pre-defined rules and said business insights;
wherein said creating, updating or transferring enables communication via said actionable widget card between a backend non-interactive external system and at least one user of said backend non-interactive external system.
9 . The method according to claim 8 wherein said actionable widget card comprises parameters of: a card type, a visual display and at least one action.
10 . The method according to claim 9 also receiving and using external real-world information being any of: environmental, biometric, physiological or psychological parameters; and
wherein any of said external real-world information controls said visual display of said actionable widget card.
11 . The method according to claim 8 and also comprising at least one of:
transferring said actionable widget card to a second user of said backend non-interactive external system or to a second system based on a request from a first user of said backend non-interactive external system; and
transforming at least one of: content, fields and attributes of said actionable widget card according to transformation rules and creating at least one new actionable widget card based on a request from said at least one user.
12 . The method according to claim 11 wherein said transforming at least one of: content, fields and attributes splits at least one actionable widget card into at least two actionable widget cards.
13 . The method according to claim 11 wherein said transformation rules are at least one of: generic system level rules and rules related to potential system operations associated with interactions of said at least one user with actionable widget card.
14 . The method according to claim 8 wherein said trigger is one of: a direct action of said at least one user, a request from said at least one user, an external real-world sensor event, and a time-based activity.
