Abstract
Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are provided for monitoring recurring activities. In one embodiment, activity data, worker data, and location data can be analyzed to identify segments of interest. The identified segments can then be provided for an interface for display.
Claims21
A method for monitoring recurring activities, the method comprising:
- receiving, via one or more processors, activity data and location data corresponding to a worker and a work period in which the worker performed one or more recurring activities;
- identifying, via the one or more processors, one or more inactivity segments during the work period that meet a configurable threshold based at least in part on the activity data, the one or more inactivity segments representing a time period for which the worker did not perform sufficient recurring activities during the work period;
- and
- identifying, via the one or more processors, a location for at least one of the one or more inactivity segments.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- receive activity data and location data corresponding to a worker and a work period in which the worker performed one or more recurring activities;
- identify one or more inactivity segments during the work period that meet a configurable threshold based at least in part on the activity data, the one or more inactivity segments representing a time period for which the worker did not perform sufficient recurring activities during the work period;
- and
- identify a location for at least one of the one or more inactivity segments.
A computer program product for monitoring recurring activities, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- an executable portion configured to receive activity data and location data corresponding to a worker and a work period in which the worker performed one or more recurring activities;
- an executable portion configured to identify one or more inactivity segments during the work period that meet a configurable threshold based at least in part on the activity data, the one or more inactivity segments representing a time period for which the worker did not perform sufficient recurring activities during the work period;
- and
- an executable portion configured to identify a location for at least one of the one or more inactivity segments.
