Context-aware gamification platform

摘要

An advanced context-aware platform is integrated with a variety of other applications to allow processing of contextual information from various sources. One type of application may provide spatial and temporal context information for various actions. Another type of application may provide additional information for an action within a social and/or business context. These contextual information types are received and assimilated by the platform in order to enrich the data value chain. Processing large volumes of data and events may be facilitated in a scalable and rapid manner utilizing technologies such as in-memory databases (e.g., the HANA database available from SAP AG), and/or complex event processing (CEP) such as is available from Sybase ESP. Context-aware platforms according to embodiments may find particular use in providing context to systems implementing gamification in an enterprise environment.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
causing a context engine comprising an in-memory database engine to collect data from a first source comprising a first gamification platform regarding a first event comprising an action taken in an enterprise by an actor; causing the context engine to collect first context data over an asynchronous message broker from a second source comprising a machine-to-machine stack including a hygroscopic sensor from a wearable of the actor; causing the context engine to collect second context data over the asynchronous message broker from a third source comprising a second gamification platform regarding a second event involving the actor; causing the context engine to perform a first aggregation of the first context data from the second source, and then to perform a second aggregation to process the data and aggregated first context data to create context enriched data by calculating a defined trust metric from the data and the second context data; causing the context engine to store the context enriched data in an in-memory database; causing the context engine to provide the context enriched data in a view within the in-memory database; determining from the context enriched data that the actor has achieved a predetermined goal; based upon achievement of the predetermined goal, triggering the asynchronous message broker to communicate a message to assign an additional role to the actor.
