    摘要: A unique monitoring system and method is provided that involves monitoring user activity in order to facilitate managing and optimizing the utilization of various system resources. In particular, the system can monitor user activity, detect when users need assistance with their specific activities, and identify at least one other user that can assist them. Assistance can be in the form of answering questions, providing guidance to the user as the user completes the activity, or completing the activity such as in the case of taking on an assigned activity. In addition, the system can aggregate activity data across users and/or devices. As a result, problems with activity templates or activities themselves can be more readily identified, user performance can be readily compared, and users can communicate and exchange information regarding similar activity experiences. Furthermore, synchronicity and time-sensitive scheduling of activities between users can be facilitated and improved overall.

    摘要: The innovation enables “total system” experiences for activities and activity-specialized experiences for applications and gadgets that allow them to align more closely with the user, his work, and his goals. In particular, the system provides for dynamically changing the user interface (UI) of the system level shell (“desktop”), of applications, and of standalone UI parts (“gadgets”), based upon a current (or future) activity of the user and other context data. The system can consider context data that includes extended activity data, information about the user's state, and information about the current environment. Preprogrammed and/or inferred rules can be used to decide how to adapt the UI based upon the activity. These rules can include, user rules, group rules, and device rules. Additionally, activities and applications can also participate in the decision of how to adapt the UI.

    摘要: A unique system and method is provided that facilitates managing an activity centric environment via a master profile (which includes user, group, and device profiles). The master profile follows or stays with the user and can be applied universally across devices and activities (activity templates). When profile data does not currently exist (e.g., a new activity or a new device), portions of the existing profile data can be applied to such new activities or device as appropriate. Thus, current profile data for existing or known user interactions and devices can be inferentially extended to new user interactions and devices. When conflicts arise between applicable profile data, they can be solved by applying the profile data in accordance with their priority. User intervention can be requested whereby the system can adapt previous user-based resolutions to future conflicts. Profile data can also be scaled according to the context of the user-device-activity interaction.
