  • Patent number: 8370425
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can facilitate creation and management of an event-oriented transient network and can further manage decommission of the transient network. In particular, the architecture can construct temporary communities based upon a particular event, project, or activity; manage (e.g., filter, prioritize, or control) communications and content associated with the community; and disband the community by deconstructing the transient network according to an aging function that controls how the network decays. In addition, the architecture can leverage existing information (e.g. profile data) and content feeds associated with disparate social networking services or communities for the benefit of the temporary community.

  • Publication number: 20100223212
    Abstract: Providing for task-related electronic feedback based on user interaction with a communication network is described herein. By way of example, user interactions the network or a network interface can be monitored to identify user activities performed in conjunction with a task. A rating for performance of the task can be obtained via comparison of user activities with benchmark performance activities. Based on the rating and user-benchmark comparison, inefficiencies can be identified, along with corrective actions for such activities. The corrective actions can then be output to coach the user on techniques for improving performance of the task. Accordingly, by employing corrective feedback based on monitored user activity, personal training can be automated, potentially reducing time and cost of such training.
