Systems and methods for automated alerts

摘要

An alert suggestion generator may automatically suggest alerts for a user based on user input. The user input may include natural language text and/or user actions that the suggestion generator can use to generate alerts that have a high likelihood of relevance, and therefore desirability, to the user. Each alert may have a trigger condition such as passage of time, measurement of a numeric metric, or other factors. Each alert may also have a notification setting defining how the user is to be notified. The alert suggestion generator may retrieve a user profile of the user to further determine what alerts would be most relevant to the user. The user may be queried to confirm the alerts, and the alerts may them be set. Partial alerts may be generated and then the user may be queried for the trigger condition and/or notification setting needed to complete the alerts.

1. A computer-implemented method for configuring a notification application for a user, the notification application configured to issue alerts to the user in accordance with active alert definitions of the user, the active alert definitions specifying respective trigger conditions pertaining to monitored data, the method comprising:
generating one or more suggested alert definitions for the user of the notification application, wherein generating the suggested alert definitions comprises,
accessing a first data set comprising information regarding the user stored on computer-readable storage, the first data set comprising information regarding the user that is independent of interactions of the user with a graphical user interface of the notification application, andusing a processor to generate the suggested alert definitions for the user based on the first data set, each of the suggested alert definitions specifying a suggested trigger condition pertaining to suggested monitoring data; and configuring the notification application with a new active alert definition for the user, the new active alert definition corresponding to a selected one of the suggested alert definitions.
