  • Patent number: 11823591
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes an emotional insight management system that provides user-configured prompts and insights to the user. In some examples, an insights application provides personalized, recurring prompts to encourage users to provide current emotional state updates to a well-being journal. The user's responses over time are aggregated within a historical trends report, which provides emotional response data over time. The insights application generates insights into potential reasons for the user's emotional states on a given day. The system analyzes the user-provided emotion response data with integrated work-related data to identify reasons for the user's mood and make recommendations for actions to be taken by users to reduce stress and improve the user's emotional well-being.

  • Patent number: 11750553
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for surfacing email suggestions are presented. A first user account associated with a composer of an email may be identified. Core working hour and a time zone associated with that first user account may be determined. One or more recipient user accounts included in the email may be identified. Core working hours and a time zone associated with the recipient user accounts may be identified. If more than a threshold number, percentage, and/or ratio of the recipient users is not currently in core working hours when the email is being drafted/sent, a suggestion may be surfaced in association with the email to send the email at a later time when more recipient users are in their core working hours.

  • Patent number: 11734145
    Abstract: A system and method for computing a metric indicating a user operation of an application is described. The system accesses online activity data of a user operation of the application. The system filters the online activity data based on a preset time range. An after-hours activity score is calculated based on a type of activity or a duration of an activity from the filtered online activity data, and a weight assigned to the type of activity or the duration of the activity. The system computes an after-hours metric based on the after-hours activity score. A configuration setting for the application based on the after-hours metric is applied to the application.

  • Publication number: 20230186194
    Abstract: A computer implemented method includes receiving a start date and an end date specifying a future absence or away-from-work time period for a user, generating an away from office communication specifying the away-from-work time period, retrieving via the computer a list of collaborators based on frequency and duration of recent interactions with the user, receiving via the computer a selection of collaborators from the list, identifying meetings involving the user during the away-from-work time period, generating via the computer a list of user viewable items for the user to complete prior to the away-from-work time period, and generating via the computer a list of items for the user to attend to upon return from the away-from-work time period for presentation to the user upon return.

  • Publication number: 20220334691
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a virtual commute experience system. In some examples, the virtual commute experience includes receiving a plurality of information from one or more different programs; in response to a trigger event, launching a virtual commute experience; in response to the launch of the virtual commute experience, displaying a first portion of the plurality of information from the one or more different programs; receiving a first user interaction; in response to receiving the first user interaction, displaying a second portion of the plurality of information; receiving a second user interaction; outputting a prompt to continue or end the virtual commute experience; and in response to receiving a response to the prompt to end the virtual commute experience, pausing notifications generated by one or more different programs via the user interface until another trigger event.

  • Patent number: 11301354
    Abstract: A system and method for determining enterprise metrics of an enterprise application is described. The system receives a root cause definition that identifies enterprise user metrics and predefined parameters for the enterprise user metrics. The enterprise user metrics identify operation metrics of the enterprise application by users of the enterprise. The system stores the root cause definition in a library of root causes definitions. The system receives a selection of a plan that identifies an operation attribute of the enterprise application. The system identifies a root cause from the library of root causes definitions based on the plan. The system generates a recommendation based on the identified root cause.
