Workflow selection method for content management systems
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11768707B2) describes a method for workflow selection in a content management system. The method involves establishing network communication links between the content management system, a first application, and a second application. Interaction events that modify the contents of shared content objects are recorded, and a training dataset is constructed with data pertaining to event attributes, content object attributes, and workflows. At least one learning model is trained with the training dataset to facilitate the selection and execution of workflows based on the interaction events. The selected workflow is executed to perform modifications on the shared content objects.
The patent also includes additional claims. One claim involves identifying changes to the learning model and determining parameters for mapping interaction events to workflows. Selection rules are then applied to the learning model based on these parameters. Another claim involves identifying changes to the learning model and determining conditions for the traversal of workflows. These conditions are then applied to the characteristics of the workflows, allowing the learning model to adjust its parameters.
The method described in the patent allows for the automatic selection and execution of workflows based on interaction events and learned models. The system can operate without human interaction, making it efficient for collaboration on shared content objects. The patent also mentions the use of third-party applications and the registration of applications with the content management system.
Overall, this patent presents a method and system for workflow selection in a content management system that utilizes learning models and interaction events to automate the collaboration process. The method has the potential to improve efficiency and streamline workflow processes in various industries.
