Abstract

Automatic detection of the activities of a user of a data processing system is provided by the use of an Activity Event Detection Process, an Activity Detection Process, and an Interrogator Process. The Activity Event Detection Process detects events indicating user activity. The Activity Detection Process evaluates the user activity indicating events to determine the activity of a user. The Interrogator Process provides an interface to a requesting user and formulates appropriate queries to be sent to one or more Activity Detection Processes.
