SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DOCUMENT DRIVEN ACTIONS
First Claim
1. A method for document driven actions, comprising:
- maintaining a set of signatures corresponding to documents tracked by a document tracking system and a set of associated actions, each action in the set of associated actions associated with a signature in the set of signatures;
receiving, at the document tracking system, a document signature associated with a document from a client computing device;
determining, at the document tracking system, that the document signature matches one of the set of signatures;
determining, at the document tracking system, an action associated with the document signature;
sending a message to a monitoring module including information about the action; and
performing the action at the monitoring module.

Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for tracking documents in a computing environment, including documents stored locally on computing devices. A monitoring module stored on a computing device may determine that a user is trying to open a document stored locally on the computing device and communicate a signature associated with the document to a document tracking system. A document tracking system may compare the signature with a set of stored signatures to see if the document corresponds to a document already being tracked. If the document is not being tracked already, the document tracking system may upload the document into the system, send a link to a newer version or determine one or more actions to be performed on the document based on the signature.

11. A system for document driven actions, comprising:
-
a client computing device comprising a monitoring module; and a document tracking system in communication with the client computing device, wherein; the monitoring module configured to; monitor the client computing device to detect attempts to open documents at the client computing device; and in response to detecting an attempt to open a document, send a document signature for the document to the document tracking system; perform an action specified in a message from the document tracking system; and the document tracking is configured to; maintain a set of signatures corresponding to tracked documents and a set of associated actions, each action in the set of associated actions associated with a signature in the set of signatures; receive the document signature from the monitoring module; in response to determining that the document signature matches a signature in the set of signatures, determine if there is an action associated with the document signature; and in response to determining that there is the action associated with the document signature, send the message to the monitoring module specifying the action. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
