Abstract

Provided herein are methodologies, systems, apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable media for configuring a graphical user interface of an electronic display device for displaying and updating individual performance data. Activity data relating to one or more individuals may be collected and used to compute an impact parameter and performance ranking associated with an individual's employment activities. The impact parameters and performance rankings can be displayed on an electronic device via a GUI, and the impact parameters and performance rankings can be updated in real-time, or close to real-time. Updating the impact parameters and performance rankings in real-time reflects modifications die to activity data indicating a status or completion of one or more activities performed by the individual.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for configuring a graphical user interface of an electronic display device, the method comprising:
receiving, in an electronic computer-readable format, activity data relating to one or more activities performed by an individual, wherein the activity data comprises an indication of a status of completion of the one or more activities; computing an impact parameter associated with the individual, wherein the impact parameter is quantified using a metric based on predefined measures of the net value of the individual's performance with respect to the one or more activities; computing a performance ranking associated with the individual, based on the one or more activities performed by the individual; rendering a graphical user interface on an electronic display device, the graphical user interface comprising a graphical indication of the impact parameter, and a graphical indication of the performance ranking; and updating the graphical user interface, in real-time, to indicate a modification of the graphical indication of the performance ranking and/or a modification of the graphical indication of the impact parameter, based on the activity data indicating completion of the one or more activities.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the impact parameter includes a real money value reported as a result of the one or more activities performed by the individual.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the impact parameter includes an increase in a customer satisfaction rating resulting from the one or more activities performed by the individual.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a graphical indication of the individual's progress in completing individual-specific goals relating to the individual's projected career path.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein performing a task at an improper time negatively effects the performance ranking or the impact parameter associated with the individual.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, at a computing terminal, an audit request initiated by a second individual requesting an audit of the one or more activities performed by the individual.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the activity data is input manually by the individual's manager or supervisor.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic display device is a mobile electronic device.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic display device is a wearable electronic-paper badge or a liquid crystal display (LCD) badge.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a graphical indication of an achievement earned by the individual in response to performing one or more specific tasks.

11 . A system of configuring a graphical user interface of an electronic display device, the system comprising:
one or more servers programmed to:
receive, in an electronic computer-readable format, activity data relating to one or more activities performed by an individual, wherein the activity data comprises an indication of a status of completion of the one or more activities;
compute an impact parameter associated with the individual, wherein the impact parameter is quantified using a metric based on predefined measures of the net value of the individual's performance with respect to the one or more activities; and
compute a performance ranking associated with the individual, based on the one or more activities performed by the individual; and
an electronic display device programed to:
render a graphical user interface on an electronic display device, the graphical user interface comprising a graphical indication of the impact parameter, and a graphical indication of the performance ranking; and
update the graphical user interface, in real-time, to indicate a modification of the graphical indication of the performance ranking and/or a modification of the graphical indication of the impact parameter, based on the activity data indicating completion of the one or more activities.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the impact parameter includes a real money value reported as a result of the one or more activities performed by the individual.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the impact parameter includes an increase in a customer satisfaction rating resulting from the one or more activities performed by the individual.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a graphical indication of the individual's progress in completing individual-specific goals relating to the individual's projected career path.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein performing a task at an improper time negatively effects the performance ranking or the impact parameter associated with the individual.

16 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising a computing terminal programmed to receive an audit request initiated by a second individual requesting an audit of the one or more activities performed by the individual.

17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the electronic display device is a mobile electronic device.

18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the electronic display device is a wearable electronic-paper badge or a LCD badge.

19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a graphical indication of an achievement earned by the individual in response to performing one or more specific tasks.

20 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing device, wherein execution of the instructions causes the processing device to implement a method of configuring a graphical user interface of an electronic display device, the method comprising:
receiving, in an electronic computer-readable format, activity data relating to one or more activities performed by an individual, wherein the activity data comprises an indication of a status of completion of the one or more activities; computing an impact parameter associated with the individual, wherein the impact parameter is quantified using a metric based on predefined measures of the net value of the individual's performance with respect to the one or more activities; computing a performance ranking associated with the individual, based on the one or more activities performed by the individual; rendering a graphical user interface on an electronic display device, the graphical user interface comprising a graphical indication of the impact parameter, and a graphical indication of the performance ranking; and updating the graphical user interface, in real-time, to indicate a modification of the graphical indication of the performance ranking and/or a modification of the graphical indication of the impact parameter, based on the activity data indicating completion of the one or more activities.
