Abstract
Provided are techniques for activity analysis for monitoring and updating a personal profile. User activities are monitored to create a user activity log. The user activity log and a user profile are analyzed using one or more profile entity to activity mappings to identify one or more suggestions for updating the user profile. The one or more suggestions are provided to update the user profile. In response to acceptance of at least one of the suggestions, the user profile is updated.
Claims10
A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by at least one processor to perform:
- periodically determining whether there is a mismatch of at least one of a skill and a role in a user profile by:
- providing one or more profile entity to activity mappings that each provides an activity and a criteria for qualification that specifies an amount of time that the activity is performed for the qualification;
- monitoring user activities to create a user activity log, wherein the monitoring includes monitoring the user activities of social network connections, software development work, collaboration work, document work, and meetings;
- analyzing the user activity log and the user profile using the one or more profile entity to activity mappings to identify one or more suggestions for updating the user profile when the activity is performed for the amount of time;
- providing the one or more suggestions to update the user profile;
- in response to acceptance of a suggestion of the one or more suggestions, updating the user profile by adding the suggestion as an update in one of a different color and a different size to indicate how recent the update is and in another of the different color and the different size to indicate proficiency;
- receiving an additional update to the user profile in response to user input;
- in response to determining that the additional update is valid using the one or more profile entity to activity mappings, continuing the monitoring of the user activities;
- and
- in response to determining that the additional update is not valid using the one or more profile entity to activity mappings,
- providing at least one new suggestion in light of the determination that the additional update is not valid;
- and
- in response to acceptance of the at least one new suggestion, updating the user profile.

A computer system, comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories and one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
- and
- program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to perform:
- periodically determining whether there is a mismatch of at least one of a skill and a role in a user profile by:
- providing one or more profile entity to activity mappings that each provides an activity and a criteria for qualification that specifies an amount of time that the activity is performed for the qualification;
- monitoring activities of a user to create a user activity log, wherein the monitoring includes monitoring the user activities of social network connections, software development work, collaboration work, document work, and meetings;
- analyzing the user activity log and the user profile using the one or more profile entity to activity mappings to identify one or more suggestions for updating the user profile when the activity is performed for the amount of time;
- providing the one or more suggestions to update the user profile;
- in response to acceptance of a suggestion of the one or more suggestions, updating the user profile by adding the suggestion as an update in one of a different color and a different size to indicate how recent the update is and in another of the different color and the different size to indicate proficiency;
- receiving an additional update to the user profile in response to user input;
- in response to determining that the additional update is valid using the one or more profile entity to activity mappings, continuing the monitoring of the user activities;
- and
- in response to determining that the additional update is not valid using the one or more profile entity to activity mappings,
- providing at least one new suggestion in light of the determination that the additional update is not valid;
- and
- in response to acceptance of the at least one new suggestion, updating the user profile.
