Abstract
Embodiments relate to providing task assistance. One aspect includes collecting sensor data from a sensor that is communicatively coupled to a computer device, and receiving inputs from a user of the device. The inputs are directed to implementation of tasks via applications operated on the device. Another aspect includes determining a cognitive state of the user from the sensor data and the inputs for each of the tasks performed and calculating a normative cognitive state of the user that is represented as a value within a range of values. A further aspect includes selecting a task assist function responsive to initiation of a task by the user at the device. The task assist function is selected based on a deviation of a value representing a current determined cognitive state from the normative cognitive state value.

8. A computer program product for providing task assistance, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a processor to:
-
collect sensor data from at least one sensor that is communicatively coupled to a computer device; receive inputs from an end user of the computer device, the inputs directed to implementation of tasks via applications operated on the computer device; determine a cognitive state of the end user from the sensor data and the inputs for each of the tasks performed by the end user; calculate a normative cognitive state of the end user that is represented as a value within a range of values, the values indicative of a range of intensities of the corresponding cognitive state; store the sensor data, inputs, corresponding cognitive states, and normative cognitive state in a profile created for the end user; and select a task assist function responsive to initiation of a task by the end user at the computer device, the task assist function selected based on a deviation of a value representing a current determined cognitive state from the normative cognitive state value. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for providing task assistance, the system comprising:
-
a memory having computer readable computer instructions; and a processor for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions including; collecting sensor data from at least one sensor that is communicatively coupled to a computer device; receiving inputs from an end user of the computer device, the inputs directed to implementation of tasks via applications operated on the computer device; determining a cognitive state of the end user from the sensor data and the inputs for each of the tasks performed by the end user; calculating a normative cognitive state of the end user that is represented as a value within a range of values, the values indicative of a range of intensities of the corresponding cognitive state; storing the sensor data, inputs, corresponding cognitive states, and normative cognitive state in a profile created for the end user; and selecting a task assist function responsive to initiation of a task by the end user at the computer device, the task assist function selected based on a deviation of a value representing a current determined cognitive state from the normative cognitive state value. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
