Abstract

According to some implementations, context-based information is provided. The method can establish a first context for a user to start a process of correlation of information from multiple sources. The method can then authorize the user to access information from one or more sources of information. The method can request the first information from the one or more sources of information based on the first context. Based on the first information received from the one or more sources of information, the method can revise the first context to generate a second context. The method can use the second context to correlate second information from the one or more sources of information. The method can filter the second information for the user to determine a relevant subset of information. Eventually, the method can send the relevant subset of information to a client device associated with the user.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

establishing a first context for a user to start a process of correlation of information from multiple sources of information;

authorizing the user to access information from the multiple sources of information;

revising the first context to generate a second context, the revising being based on first information received from the multiple sources of information according to the first context;

correlating the multiple sources of information based on the second context to generate second information;

receiving an indication of a pertinent subset of information of the second context from the user;

filtering the second information generated for the user from correlation of the multiple sources of information based on the second context to determine a subset of information based on an identification of the user and the indication of the pertinent subset of information identified by the user;

sending the subset of information to a client device associated with the user.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising applying department-level access policies to authenticate the user.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising applying department-level access policies to authorize the user.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more sources of information include enterprise systems, cloud-based sources, social media, IT administration systems, RSS feeds, a phone system.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising requesting the first information from the one or more sources of information based on the first context.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first context comprises a subject of a calendar entry of the user, an attendee associated to the calendar entry of the user, a GPS location of the client device, a caller identification of an incoming phone call to the client device, a caller identification of an outgoing phone call from the client device, information regarding a web conference, financial information regarding a market being tracked by the user, or a to do list.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the client device is a mobile device.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing the user with access to an application associated with the subset of information.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating a workflow based on third information received from the one or more sources of information, the first information including data regarding the workflow.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the workflow includes one or more activities that need to be performed and the order in which the activities need to be performed in achieving a goal.

11. A system comprising:

a data acquisition engine configured to authorize a user to access information from multiple sources of information, and receive first information from the multiple sources of information;

a context-based correlation engine configured to establish a first context for a user to start a process of correlation of information from the multiple sources information, revise the first context to generate a second context based on the first information received from the multiple sources of information according to the first context, correlate the multiple sources of information based on the second context to generate second information, receive an identification of a pertinent subset of information of the second context from the user, and filter the second information generated for the user from correlation of the multiple sources of information based on the second context to determine a subset of information based on an identification of the user and the indication of the pertinent subset of information identified by the user;

a push engine configured to send the subset of information to a client device associated with the user.

12. The system of claim 11, the data acquisition engine being configured to apply department-level access policies to authenticate the user.

13. The system of claim 11, the data acquisition engine being configured to apply department-level access policies to authorize the user.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the one or more sources of information include enterprise systems, cloud-based sources, social media, IT administration systems, RSS feeds, a phone system.

15. The system of claim 11, the data acquisition engine being configured to request the first information from the one or more sources of information based on the first context.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the first context comprises a subject of a calendar entry of the user, an attendee associated to the calendar entry of the user, a GPS location of the client device, a caller identification of an incoming phone call to the client device, a caller identification of an outgoing phone call to the client device, information regarding a web conference, financial information regarding a market being tracked by the user, or a to do list.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the client device is a mobile device.

18. The system of claim 11, further comprising a communication engine configured to provide the user with access to an application associated with the relevant subset of information.

19. The system of claim 11, further comprising a workflow generation engine configured to generate a workflow based on third information received from the one or more sources of information, the first information including data regarding the workflow.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the workflow includes one or more activities that need to be performed and the order in which the activities need to be performed in achieving a goal.
