METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGEMENT OF EVENTS AND DISRUPTIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18178449 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGEMENT OF EVENTS AND DISRUPTIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for event and disruption management in a workplace environment, involving retrieving tasks, identifying triggering events, and initiating event resolutions.

  • Tasks are retrieved to be completed within a specific time frame.
  • Triggering events that may disrupt tasks are identified.
  • When a triggering event occurs, an event resolution is initiated.
  • Event resolution may involve sending notifications to workers or supervisors affected by the event.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics to improve workflow efficiency and address disruptions promptly.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in managing unexpected events that could disrupt work processes, ensuring tasks are completed on time and minimizing the impact of disruptions on productivity.

Benefits

- Improved task management - Timely response to disruptions - Enhanced communication among workers and supervisors

Potential Commercial Applications

"Event and Disruption Management Technology in Workplace Environments" could be utilized in industries where task management and response to disruptions are critical for operational success.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be traditional task management systems that do not specifically address event and disruption management in the workplace.

Unanswered Questions

How does the technology handle different types of triggering events?

The article does not specify how the technology distinguishes between various triggering events and tailors the event resolution accordingly.

What is the scalability of this technology for large organizations?

The scalability of the technology for implementation in large organizations with numerous workers and supervisors is not discussed in the article.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method is provided for event and disruption management in a workplace environment. The method comprises retrieving a set of tasks to be completed in a predetermined period, identifying a set of triggering events that may disrupt each task of the set of set of tasks; when a triggering event of the set of triggering events occurs, initiating an event resolution, wherein the event resolution comprises one or more of: sending a notification of the triggering event to at least one of the plurality of worker computing devices relating to at least one worker affected by the triggering event; and sending the notification of the triggering event to at least one device associated with at least one supervisor affected by the triggering event.
