System and method for categorizing time expenditure of a computing device user
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for categorizing time expenditure of a computing device user is provided, comprising:
- detecting an item of content has been added to one or more digital content repositories;
selecting a content identifier from the item of content;
determining whether text of the content identifier contains an analysis identifier, the analysis identifier having an identification string,and whereupon an analysis identifier is determined to be absent from the content data of the content identifierbuilding an analysis identifier, andaltering the content data of the content identifier to include the built analysis identifier; and
receiving a plurality of user activity data records, each user activity data record associated with a user identifier, and each user activity data record containing a time indicator and the active window title of the computing device at or during that time indicator.

Abstract
The present invention relates to the analysis and categorization of time expenditure of users of computing devices having a graphical user interface. A computer implemented method for categorizing time expenditure of a computing device user is provided, comprising detecting an item of content has been added to one or more digital content repositories; selecting a content identifier from the item of content; determining whether text of the content identifier contains an analysis identifier, the analysis identifier having an identification string, and whereupon an analysis identifier is determined to be absent from the content data of the content identifier building an analysis identifier, and altering the content data of the content identifier to include the built analysis identifier; and receiving a plurality of user activity data records, each user activity data record associated with a user identifier, and each user activity data record containing a time indicator and the active window title of the computing device at or during that time indicator.

6. A system for categorizing time expenditure of a computing device user is provided, comprising
a content detection module, to detect an item of content has been added to one or more digital content repositories; -
a content identifier selection module, to select a content identifier from the item of content; an analysis identifier determiner, to determine whether content data of the content identifier contains an analysis identifier, the analysis identifier having an identification string; an analysis identifier builder to build an analysis identifier for the item of content; a content identifier alteration module, to alter the content data of the content identifier to include the analysis identifier built by the analysis identifier builder; a user activity data processing module adapted to receive a plurality of user activity data records, each user activity data record associated with a user identifier, and each user activity data record containing a time indicator and the active window title of the computing device at or during that time indicator; and whereupon the analysis identifier determiner having determined that an analysis identifier is absent from the content data of the content identifier, the analysis identifier builder creating an analysis identifier, and the content identifier alteration module thereafter altering the content data of the content identifier to include that analysis identifier. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
