Publication number: 20260148311Abstract: Techniques for providing recommendations of actions for a user to perform to improve efficiency in user interactions with a user interface of a user computing device. An intelligent monitoring (IM) computing system may receive data from a user computing device and may determine user interactions associated with the user interface. The user interactions may include selections, an order associated with the selections, times associated with the selections, and/or other data corresponding to user interaction with a user interface. The IM computing device may be configured to determine a fault (e.g., inefficiency) associated with the user interactions and determine an action for the user to perform to correct the fault. The IM computing device may cause a notification including the action to surface on a display of the user computing device, such as to inform the user of a means by which they can improve efficiency of the user interactions.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2026Publication date: May 28, 2026Inventors: Michael Shawn Jacob, Benjamin D. Schappaugh, William Guthrie, Frank Matthew McCully, Timothy J. Nickel, Brian W. Batronis, Robert D. Rariden

Publication number: 20250225011Abstract: Techniques for identifying faults in a collaborative computing system including a plurality of disparate, geographically separated computing systems are described herein. An intelligent monitoring (IM) server computing system may receive data from the plurality of computing devices and may monitor the health of the collaborative computing system. The IM server computing system may analyze the data and identify one or more faults associated with a portion of the collaborative system (e.g., an associated computing device, platform, network, etc.). In some examples, the IM server computing system may be configured to identify potential future faults associated with the portion of the collaborative system. Based on the fault, the IM server computing device may determine an action to take to remedy the fault and/or prevent the potential future fault. The IM server computing device may either automatically perform the action or send a notification to the associated computing system to perform the action.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2025Publication date: July 10, 2025Inventors: Michael Shawn Jacob, Benjamin D. Schappaugh, William Guthrie, Frank Matthew McCully, Timothy J. Nickel, Brian W. Batronis, Robert D. Rariden
