SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO SUMMARIZE CHANGE IN AN ELECTRONIC WORKSPACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18184267 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO SUMMARIZE CHANGE IN AN ELECTRONIC WORKSPACE

The abstract of the patent application describes a data processing system that can access an electronic workspace, determine changes within a period of time, structure a query to a Large Language Model (LLM) or Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine to generate a summary of the changes for a user, obtain the corresponding summary from the LLM or AI engine, and associate the workspace display with the summary in a user interface to update the user on the current state of the workspace.

• The system includes a processor, a network interface, and memory with programming instructions for execution.
• It accesses an electronic workspace and tracks changes over time.
• It generates a query for an LLM or AI engine to create a summary of the changes for the user.
• It displays the workspace alongside the summary in a user interface for easy understanding.
• This system provides real-time updates on the workspace's status to users.

Potential Applications: - Collaborative work environments - Project management tools - Content creation platforms

Problems Solved: - Keeping users informed of workspace changes - Enhancing user productivity and efficiency - Simplifying complex data processing tasks

Benefits: - Improved communication and collaboration - Time-saving through automated summaries - Enhanced user experience and understanding

Commercial Applications: Title: Real-time Workspace Update System This technology can be used in various industries such as software development, marketing, and research where real-time updates and summaries of workspace changes are crucial for efficient workflow management.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system improve user productivity in a workspace environment? 2. What are the potential implications of integrating AI engines into workspace management systems?

Original Abstract Submitted

A data processing system includes: a processor; a network interface; and a memory comprising programming instructions for execution by the processor to: access an electronic workspace; determine a list of changes to the workspace within a period of time; structure a query to a Large Language Model (LLM) or Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine, the query to generate for a user a summary of the changes; obtain a corresponding summary from the LLM or AI engine; and in a user interface, associate a display of the workspace with the corresponding summary to update a user as to a current state of the workspace.
