Systems and Methods for Augmenting Data in a Personal Productivity Application

摘要

A system and method is provided for generating a display, including information from disparate data sources, for presentation on a device. This display takes a user entry in a personal productivity application and augments the data with data gleaned from a variety of additional sources, including local and external datasets. The system first receives a set of ‘values’ and a set of ‘keywords’. The values and keywords may be generated by parsing a user created entry in a personal productivity application. The criteria for what constitutes keywords and values may be configured by the user. The ‘values’ identified are functionally related to the ‘keywords’. This functional relationship is then analyzed in order to generate the types of data to be displayed. Then a search of disparate data sources is performed to compile the needed data. Once all the data is collected it may be aggregated into a single dataset for display on the device. This aggregation may involve prioritizing, including linking, the data for display by relevance, importance and by user preferences.
