  • Documentation augmentation using role-based user annotations
    Patent number: 11630946
    Abstract: A system and method for performing role-based user annotation of product documentation is disclosed. The system identifies first and second roles for first and second users, respectively; causes, based on the first role, a first user interface to display on a first client device to receive a first input associated with the default document from the first user; creates a first layer of annotation on the default document based on the first input; receives a request to access the document from the second user; determines, based on the first and second roles, whether to merge the first layer of annotation to the default document for generating an output document; causes a second user interface to display the output document on a second client device; and causes the first input and the output document to be applied for document performance analysis associated with one or more entities.

  • User profile sharing
    Patent number: 11050841
    Abstract: A method that enables sharing a technology profile is described herein. The method includes determining at least one technology ecosystem of a first user. The method also includes generating a technology profile for the first user from the technology ecosystem, wherein the technology profile comprises components from the technology ecosystem associated with the first user. Finally, the method includes selectively sharing a shared technology profile with a second user, wherein the shared technology profile is determined by the first user and is derived from the technology profile.
