Monitoring User Interactions With A Document Editing System

An apparatus for use with a document editing system and a first plurality of documents, the apparatus comprising:

• actual editing behavior identification means for identifying first actual editing behavior applied by a user to the document editing system to edit the first plurality of documents;
• statistic derivation means for deriving a statistic from the first identified editing behavior;
• and
• potential editing behavior identification means for identifying potential editing behavior, suitable for application by the user to the document editing system to edit the documents, based on the derived statistic.

A computer-implemented method for use with a document editing system and a plurality of documents, the method comprising:

• (A) identifying actual editing behavior applied by a user to the document editing system to edit the plurality of documents;
• and
• (B) determining whether the actual editing behavior satisfies a plurality of predetermined criteria for preferred user editing behavior, the plurality of predetermined criteria comprising:
• (1) an efficiency criterion defining a minimum efficiency threshold for editing behavior;
• and
• (2) an accuracy criterion defining a minimum accuracy threshold for editing behavior.

A computer-implemented method for use with a document editing system and a first plurality of documents, the method comprising:

• (A) identifying first actual editing behavior of a predetermined type, applied by a first user to the document editing system to edit the first plurality of documents;
• (B) deriving a first productivity assessment of the first user from the first identified editing behavior;
• (C) identifying second actual editing behavior of the predetermined type, applied by a second user to the document editing system to edit the second plurality of documents;
• (D) deriving a second productivity assessment of the second user from the second identified editing behavior;
• and
• (E) deriving, from the first and second productivity assessments, a behavioral metric indicating a degree of correlation between editing behavior of the predetermined type and productivity.
