Abstract: The disclosure discloses methods and systems for integrating print and scan of a document at a multifunctional device. The multifunctional device receives a request to print and scan the document from a user device and creates a single job corresponding to the request to print and scan. The single job is assigned an identifier. The single job is executed partially by printing the document and is placed on hold until a manual scan request is received. The manual scan request for the document is received when a user selects the identifier of the single job displayed on a user interface of the multifunctional device. The processing of the single job is resumed by scanning the document by applying one or more predefined scan settings specified by the user using the user device. The scanned document is sent to an output destination indicated in the predefined scan settings.

Abstract: A contextual application organizer framework learns about application usage behavior based on user context from multiple different signals (e.g., email, OFFICE graph, Short Message Service, browsing history, search history, device usage, location) and surfaces relevant applications that a user may need for the current context or activity. A user context graph is created from user life events and an index of user activity of applications. Application usage signals are mapped from user preferences and world knowledge to the user context graph. Upon detecting a current user context, relevant applications derived from the user context graph are surfaced in a contextual application organizer.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for displaying contextually relevant insights into human resources information. Human resources information from a human resources profile of an employee of an organization is displayed within a context of an operation to be performed for the organization. The human resources information is identified within related information. Whether the related information is relevant to the context of the operation to be performed is determined. In response to determining that the related information is relevant to the context of the operation to be performed, an insight into the human resources information is generated based on a data point for the human resources information within the related information. The insight is displayed with the human resources information within the context of the operation to be performed. Performing the operation is enabled using the insight displayed with the human resources information.
