  • Patent number: 12299622
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments for a productivity monitoring and notification system. An embodiment operates by determining that an action was received from a first user account of a system, wherein the action was received responsive to a key performance indicator associated with the first user account. The action associated with the input is assigned to a second user account also associated with the key performance indicator, wherein the first user account is supervisory relative to the second user account. A notification for display on a computing device associated with the second user account is generated, the notification indicating that the action has been assigned the second user account from the first user account.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 12282877
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments for a device-specific productivity enhancements. An embodiment operates by determining a plurality of actions, corresponding to key performance indicators, associated with a user account. A user interface displaying the actions is provided to a mobile device. A first subset of the plurality of actions actionable from the mobile device and a second subset of the plurality of actions actionable from the another device associated with the user account are identified. The first subset of actions is provided to the user interface on the mobile device. An indication that the action was performed is received via the user interface, and a key performance indicator corresponding to the indicated action is identified. A value of the identified key performance indicator and updated and provided to the user interface on the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20220357820
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments for user interface modifications for increased productivity. An embodiment operates by displaying on a user interface including a first set of affordances representing one or more geographies concurrently with a second set of affordances representing one or more key performance indicators associated with the one or more geographies. A modification of a value associated with one of the first set of affordances or the second set of affordances is received. An update to the first set of affordances representing the one or more geographies or the second set of affordances is determined based on the modification. At least one of the first set of affordances representing the one or more geographies or the second set of affordances representing the one or more key performance indicators is updated based the determined update.

  • Patent number: 10830618
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods associated with a trigger management device for managing triggering of sensors within measurement equipment are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a trigger management device may include trigger circuitry coupled to a sensor, the trigger circuitry to determine an amount of delay from trigger transmission to data capture for the sensor, and transmit a trigger to the sensor, the trigger to cause the sensor to capture sensor data. The trigger management device may further include encoder circuitry coupled to one or more encoders, the one or more encoders to indicate positions of one or more actuators or motors, the encoder circuitry to capture encoder data from the one or more encoders at a time that is the amount of delay after transmission of the trigger, wherein the encoder data indicates current positions of the one or more actuators or motors. Other embodiments may include circuitry to manage and/or transmit encoder and other data to multiple devices.
