Collaborative task management system with action item assignment
The granted patent US12032809B2 describes a computing system designed to enhance user collaboration on tasks through a structured application interface. The system includes a network interface, at least one processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing program instructions. These instructions enable a first user to initiate a front-end software module that presents a graphical user interface (GUI) for assigning action items to a second user. The process involves selecting a data entity, identifying the second user, and inputting a textual description of the action item. The GUI facilitates the display of candidate links to other front-end software modules, allowing the first user to embed relevant modules into the action item for further data creation.
Upon receiving the action item request, the system presents it to the second user via their client station. If the second user selects the embedded link, the corresponding front-end software module is activated, providing a second GUI for inputting new data entities. The system pre-populates fields in this GUI with embedded data, which may include information about the action item, the users involved, and the selected data entity. After the second user submits the new data, the system determines the action item's completion and notifies both users. The patent outlines various configurations for the GUIs, including spreadsheet views, and specifies how embedded data can enhance user interaction and streamline task completion.
