Abstract

Claims (48)

1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:

retrieving, from a first database, first data corresponding to reserved blocks of a plurality of users during a predefined period;

retrieving, from a second database associated, second data corresponding to a portion of the predefined period, the second data comprising a plurality of activity events obtained from at least one capture device;

retrieving, from a third database, third data defining one or more exchange conditions;

determining first time for each of the plurality of users based at least in part on the first data from the first database, the second data from the second database, and the third data from the third database;

determining second time for each of the plurality of users based at least in part on the first data from the first database;

categorizing each user of the plurality of users into one of a plurality of categories by at least:

determining a third time based on the first time and the second time for each user of the plurality of users;

filtering the third time with respect to a set of levels; and

assigning each user of the plurality of users to one of the plurality of categories based at least in part on filtering the third time;

generating a first user interface element corresponding to a first category of the plurality of categories; and

providing a user interface for presentation at a user device that includes the first user interface element displayed in association with each user categorized into the first category.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating, using the second data, a list comprising user identifiers and organizational unit identifiers, the user identifiers associated with the plurality of users, the organizational unit identifiers associated with organizational units at which the plurality of activity events occur;

using the list to identify a subset of users of the plurality of users that recorded activity events at a particular organizational unit that is outside of their home organizational unit;

generating a notification that identifies the subset of users; and

providing the notification to a user device associated with a user of the particular organizational unit.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the predefined period comprises a fixed number of time units.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first database is associated with a first computer system operated by a first entity and the second database is associated with a second computer system operated by a second entity that is distinct from the first entity.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the reserved blocks correspond to blocks of time.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first time comprises blocks of time during which the plurality of users were productive.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the second time comprises at least some of the reserved blocks.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the third time is a total expected time and comprises a combination of the first time and the second time.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein a first level of the set of levels is less than a first fixed value, a second level of the set of levels is greater than or equal to the first fixed value, and a third level of the set of levels is greater than a second fixed value that is greater than the first fixed value.

10 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more computer systems, cause the one or more computer systems to:

retrieve, from a first database associated with a first computer system, first data corresponding to reserved blocks of a plurality of users during a predefined period;

retrieve, from a second database associated with a second computer system, second data corresponding to a portion of the predefined period, the second data comprising a plurality of activity events obtained from at least one capture device;

retrieve, from a third database, third data defining one or more exchange conditions;

determine first time for each of the plurality of users based at least in part on the first data from the first database, the second data from the second database, and the third data from the third database;

determine second time for each of the plurality of users based at least in part on the first data from the first database;

categorize each user of the plurality of users into one of a plurality of categories by at least:

determining a third time based on the first time and the second time for each user of the plurality of users;

filtering the third time with respect to a set of levels; and

assigning each user of the plurality of users to one of the plurality of categories based at least in part on filtering the third time;

generate a first user interface element corresponding to a first category of the plurality of categories; and

provide a user interface for presentation at a user device that includes the first user interface element displayed in association with each user categorized into the first category.

11 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 10 , further comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more computer systems, cause the one or more computer systems to:

generate, using the second data, a list comprising user identifiers and organizational unit identifiers, the user identifiers associated with the plurality of users, the organizational unit identifiers associated with organizational units at which the plurality of activity events occur;

use the list to identify a subset of users of the plurality of users that recorded activity events at a particular organizational unit that is outside of their home organizational unit;

generate a notification that identifies the subset of users; and

provide the notification to a user device associated with a user of the particular organizational unit.

12 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 10 , wherein the user interface comprises a series of filters for filtering the predefined period comprising a fixed number of time units.

13 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 10 , wherein the first computer system is operated by a first entity and the second computer system is operated by a second entity that is distinct from the first entity.

14 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 10 , wherein the reserved blocks correspond to blocks of time.

15 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 10 , wherein the first time comprises blocks of time during which the plurality of users were productive.

16 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 10 , wherein the second time comprises at least some of the reserved blocks.

17 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 10 , wherein the third time is a total expected time and comprises a combination of the first time and the second time.

18 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 10 , wherein a first level of the set of levels is less than a first fixed value, a second level of the set of levels is greater than or equal to the first fixed value, and a third level of the set of levels is greater than a second fixed value that is greater than the first fixed value.
