Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Aspects include creating a profile for a user from user account data and a user activity log, searching an indexed repository for keywords matching elements from the user account data and the user activity log, and retrieving documents from the indexed repository that are identified based on the searching.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a memory having computer readable instructions; and a processor for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions including: creating a profile for a user from user account data and a user activity log; searching an indexed repository for keywords matching elements from the user account data and the user activity log; retrieving documents from the indexed repository that are identified based on the searching; creating a custom portal for the user that includes the documents; in response to determining that the user has not opened a document in the custom portal within a threshold period of time, automatically removing the document from the custom portal for the user; monitoring activity conducted by the user at the custom portal; in response to determining that the user has opened documents in the custom portal that share a common set of tags, prioritizing the listing of each of the documents in the custom portal based on the common set of tags; comparing a listing of documents in the custom portal of the user to determine whether the custom portal of the user contains a minimum number of documents that are in common with another portal; in response to determining that the custom portal of the user contains the minimum number of documents that are in common with another custom portal, generating a communication to the user, through the custom portal of the user, identifying a user of the other custom portal as having common interests with the user; monitoring changes in the user account data and ongoing activities from the user activity log; and updating the custom portal for the user based on updated keyword searching responsive to the changes to the user account data and the ongoing activities.
