Abstract

The present invention provides a gamification platform to provide one or more gamification services to one or more users in an enterprise. In accordance with an embodiment, the gamification platform includes a server, an application component, a consumer component and a DB layer, wherein said components and the DB layer are communicably coupled to the server. The application component provides a unified and an integrated gamification mechanics across one or more enterprise applications and comprises a tracker, a rule engine and a recommendation engine. The consumer component is configured to support one or more types of client applications. The DB layer is configured to manage and manipulate data in underlying database. The gamification platform further allows one or more users to virtually engage in accomplishing one or more target activities as a team and publishes the one or more gamification services in a user interface of the client application.

Claims24

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented gamification platform to provide one or more gamification services to one or more users in an enterprise, the gamification platform comprising:

a server including a processor, memory and computer readable media;
an application component communicably coupled to the server, configured to provide a unified and an integrated gamification mechanics across one or more enterprise applications;
a consumer component communicably coupled to the server, and configured to support one or more types of client applications, wherein, the one or more client applications includes a thick client application, a thin client application and a mobile client application;
a Database (DB) layer communicably coupled to the server, and configured to manage and manipulate data in underlying database;
and
the application component further comprises:
a tracker configured to track one or more activities of the one or more users and communicate the one or more activities accomplished by the one or more users to a rule engine;
the rule engine configured to define one or more unified rules and at least one reward for accomplishment of the one or more activities across the one or more enterprise applications by the one or more users;
and
a recommendation engine configured to suggest one or more target activities for accomplishing next reward to the one or more users;
wherein the gamification platform enables access to the one or more users via the consumer component, tracks the one or more activities and one or more rewards earned by the one or more users for accomplishment of the one or more activities via the application component and manages the one or more rewards earned in the underlying database via the DB layer.
