System and Method for Optimum Alternative Recommendation for Personal Productivity Efficiency

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a data bus coupled to the processor;
• and
• a computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer-usable medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code used for recommending an alternative activity executable by the processor and configured for:
• receiving information from a plurality of sources related to a user, wherein the information includes a set of activities A (A1, A2, . . . , An), a duration D (D1, D2, . . . , Dn), and a measurement of productivity associated with the activities P1, P2, . . . , Pn), wherein the each activity Ai has the duration Ti and the productivity Pi;
• receiving clustered and classified sets of activities A, that comprise the information that are applied with a clustering algorithm to associate a cluster of types of activities and productivity associated with the cluster of types of activity with a recommended continuous time duration;
• and
• responsive to detecting a current activity exceeding the recommended continuous time duration and an indication of a reduction of productivity for the current activity, recommending an alternative activity to the user.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:

• receiving information from a plurality of sources related to a user, wherein the information includes a set of activities A (A1, A2, . . . , An), a duration D (D1, D2, . . . , Dn), and a measurement of productivity associated with the activities P (P1, P2, . . . Pn), wherein the each activity Ai has the duration Ti and the productivity Pi;
• receiving clustered and classified sets of activities A, that comprise the information that are applied with a clustering algorithm to associate a cluster of types of activities and productivity associated with the cluster of types of activity with a recommended continuous time duration;
• and
• responsive to detecting a current activity exceeding the recommended continuous time duration and an indication of a reduction of productivity for the current activity, recommending an alternative activity to the user.
