Abstract

An apparatus and method for generating a path containing a user engagement target, the apparatus including at least a processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the processor to receive user data; track a user interest over a plurality of platforms, wherein tracking the user interest includes determining an interest level of a user on a platform of the plurality of platforms; identify a plurality of distractions as function of the user interest; classify the plurality of distractions to a plurality of categories including a productive category and a non-productive category; and generate a path for the user based on the classified plurality of distractions, wherein the path includes an activity related to a productive distraction.

Claims (50)

1 . An apparatus for generating a path containing a user engagement target, the apparatus comprising:

at least a processor; and

a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the processor to:

receive user data identifying a purpose of a user;

track a user interest over a plurality of platforms, wherein tracking the user interest comprises determining an interest level of a user on a platform of the plurality of platforms;

identify a plurality of distractions as function of the user interest;

classify the plurality of distractions to a plurality of categories comprising a productive category and a non-productive category; and

generate a path for the user based on the classified plurality of distractions and the user interest, wherein the path identifies a user engagement target.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the user interest identifies a purpose.

3 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the user data comprises a plurality of obligations related to the purpose of the user.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein tracking the user interest comprises receiving system logs from a user device.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein tracking the user interest comprises utilizing a mouse tracking method to track a movement of a cursor on user device.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein determining the interest level of the user further comprises determining an idle time of a user on a platform.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein generating the path for the user comprises:

generating a plurality of paths;

generating a utility score based on a usefulness for each path of the plurality of paths; and

ranking the plurality of paths based on the utility score.

8 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein generating the utility score comprises:

receiving a utility training data set comprising data correlating a plurality of paths to a plurality of utility scores;

training a utility classifier using the utility training data set; and

outputting, using the utility classifier, the utility score.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein classifying the plurality of distractions further comprises:

receiving a productivity training data set comprising data correlating distractions to productivity classifications;

training a productivity classifier using the productivity training data set; and

outputting, using the distraction classifier, the productivity classification.

10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein generating a path further compromises using a web crawler to populate a system database with a plurality of paths based on a productive distraction.

11 . A method for generating a path containing a user engagement target, the method comprising:

receiving, by a computing device, user data identifying a purpose of the user;

tracking, by the computing device, a user interest over a plurality of platforms, wherein tracking the user interest comprises determining an interest level of a user on a platform of the plurality of platforms;

identifying, by the computing device, a plurality of distractions as function of the user interest;

classifying, by the computing device, the plurality of distractions to a plurality of categories comprising a productive category and a non-productive category; and

generating by the computing device, a path for the user based on the classified plurality of distractions and the user interest, wherein the path identifies a user engagement target.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the user interest identifies a purpose.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the user data comprises a plurality of obligations related to the purpose of the user.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein tracking the user interest comprises receiving system logs from a user device.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein tracking the user interest comprises utilizing a mouse tracking method to track a movement of a cursor on user device.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein determining the interest level of the user further comprises determining an idle time of a user on a platform.

17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein generating the path for the user comprises:

generating a plurality of paths;

generating a utility score based on usefulness for each path of the plurality of paths; and

ranking the plurality of paths based on the utility score.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein generating the utility score comprises:

receiving a utility training data set comprising data correlating a plurality of paths to a plurality of utility scores;

training a utility classifier using the utility training data set; and

outputting, using the utility classifier, the utility score.

19 . The method of claim 11 , wherein classifying the plurality of distractions further comprises:

receiving a productivity training data set comprising data correlating distractions to productivity classifications;

training a productivity classifier using the productivity training data set; and

outputting, using the distraction classifier, the productivity classification.

20 . The method of claim 11 , wherein generating a path further compromises using a web crawler to populate a system database with a plurality of paths based on a productive distraction.
