Method of defining and performing dynamic user-computer interaction, computer guided navigation, and application integration for any procedure, instructions, instructional manual, or fillable form

Abstract

Various embodiments described in this disclosure relate to methods and computer-based systems that implement those methods for overlaying or superimposing computer-user interaction widgets and application interface widgets on top of content blocks contained within digitized documents which represent written procedures or instructions, instructional manuals and fillable forms, in order to support means of providing dynamic user-computer interaction and computer guided navigation, as well as application functions and data integration, driven through structured interaction and integration metadata definitions, as it relates to said content blocks, during job performance.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of performing multi-entity job performance using computer guided navigation, the method comprising:
 at a first instance of an interaction performance tool at a first computing system, obtaining a set of typed dynamic graphical user interface interaction widgets ordered and organized based on one or more of the widgets obtaining steps from a digitized document comprising a written procedure, such that the widgets capture contents of content blocks of the digitized document;   at the first instance of the interaction performance tool at the first computing system, receiving user interaction at one of the widgets by a first user indicating that the user has completed a task from the written procedure; and   as a result of receiving the user interaction at the one of the widgets by the first user, causing a notification widget to send a notification to a second user at a second computing system and to cause the second computing system to navigate in a second instance of the interaction performance tool to a location in the interaction performance tool that generated the notification to allow the second user to continue interaction with the set of typed dynamic graphical user interface interaction widgets to perform additional tasks in the written procedure.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising, using an equipment interface widget associated with the typed dynamic graphical user interface interaction widgets, causing Internet of Things enabled equipment to perform a specific action from the written procedure. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising receiving feedback from the first user in a widget associated with the typed dynamic graphical user interface interaction widgets with respect to a content block, and as a result, providing the feedback back to the creator of the written procedure. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising at the first computing system capturing media using a widget associated with the typed dynamic graphical user interface interaction widgets. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising capturing information about actions performed from the written procedure. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the information comprises location of action performance. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the information comprises elapsed time between completion of steps from the written procedure. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising receiving user input from the first user to pause performance of a section or step of the written procedure such that an associated widget timer freezes.
