VISUAL PRESENTATION OF WORKFLOW PROGRESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17756416 titled 'VISUAL PRESENTATION OF WORKFLOW PROGRESS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a workflow progress presentation device that can extract data from a data source, determine the status of elements in a workflow diagram, and visually present them in different formats based on their status.
- Processor and memory components are used to store and execute instructions for the device.
- Data is extracted from a data source to determine the status of elements in a workflow diagram.
- Active elements are visually presented in one format, while completed elements are presented in a visually distinct format.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in project management software, task tracking tools, and workflow automation systems.
Problems Solved
This device helps users easily track the progress of tasks within a workflow, improving efficiency and organization in project management.
Benefits
The device provides a visual representation of workflow progress, making it easier for users to understand and manage complex processes.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Workflow Progress Presentation Device: Enhancing Project Management Efficiency"
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing systems or software that offer similar features for visualizing workflow progress, but further research would be needed to identify specific examples.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology integrate with existing project management software tools?
This article does not provide information on how the workflow progress presentation device can be integrated with other software systems to enhance project management processes.
What are the potential security implications of using this device to track workflow progress?
The article does not address any potential security concerns that may arise from storing and extracting data from various sources to determine the status of workflow elements.
Original Abstract Submitted
A workflow progress presentation device includes at least one processor, and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor and configured to store executable instructions. The executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to extract, from at least one data source, data corresponding to at least one element in a workflow diagram, and determine from the extracted data whether the at least one element is active or completed. The processor is caused to, in response to determining that the at least one element is active, visually present the at least one element in the workflow diagram by a first format, and in response to determining that the at least one element is completed, visually present the at least one element in the workflow diagram by a second format visually distinctive from the first format.
