AUTOMATIC CUSTOMIZATION OF A SOFTWARE APPLICATION

摘要

A method for configuring a software application. The method includes obtaining user profiles each containing attribute values corresponding to a portion of an attribute list, identifying a user subset having same attribute values for a particular portion of the attribute list and forming an attribute signature, analyzing the configuration setting used by each user in the user subset to generate a statistical measure representing the user subset configuring the software application, matching a new user profile to the attribute signature of the user subset, presenting, to the new user and in response to the matching, the statistical measure representing the user subset configuring the software application, and receiving, in response to presenting the statistical measure, an approval from the new user to customize the software application, where the software application is automatically customized based on the statistical measure representing the user subset configuring the software application.

1. A method for identifying a configuration setting of a software application, comprising:
obtaining a plurality of profiles of a plurality of users of the software application,
wherein each of the plurality of profiles comprises a plurality of attribute values corresponding to a portion of an attribute list,wherein the plurality of attribute values describe a user of the plurality of users, andwherein at least two of the plurality of profiles correspond to two different portions of the attribute list; identifying, by a computer processor, a subset of the plurality of users having same attribute values for a particular portion of the attribute list, wherein the same attribute values form an attribute signature of the subset of the plurality of users; analyzing, by the computer processor, the configuration setting used by each user in the subset of the plurality of users to generate a statistical measure representing the subset of the plurality of users configuring the software application; matching a new profile of a new user to the attribute signature of the subset of the plurality of users; presenting, to the new user and in response to matching the new profile to the attribute signature, the statistical measure representing the subset of the plurality of users configuring the software application; and receiving, in response to presenting the statistical measure, an approval from the new user to customize the software application, wherein the software application is automatically customized based on the statistical measure representing the subset of the plurality of users configuring the software application.
