Abstract:
1. A method of an information management system comprising: providing a plurality of devices; providing an activity database; providing a first activity profile; collecting information usage data from the plurality of devices and storing in the activity database; analyzing the information usage data in the activity database to generate a second activity profile; comparing the second activity profile with first activity profile to determine a set of differences; using the set of differences, detecting whether at least one of a plurality of conditions has occurred by evaluating each of the plurality of conditions, wherein the plurality of conditions comprise: a first condition occurs when (X1−Y1) is greater than a threshold value Z1, where X1 is based on the first activity profile and indicative of an amount of time a user spends in an application program, and Y1 is based on the second activity profile; a second condition occurs when (X2−Y2) is greater than a threshold value Z2, where X2 is based on the first activity profile and indicative of a number of users using an application program, and Y2 is based on the second activity profile; a third condition occurs when (X3−Y3) is greater than a threshold value Z3, where X3 is based on the first activity profile and indicative of a frequency of users using an application program, and Y3 is based on the second activity profile; a fourth condition occurs when (X4−Y4) is greater than a threshold value Z4, where X4 is based on the first activity profile and indicative of a number of times a user has copied a portion of a document classified as being confidential, and Y3 is based on the second activity profile; and a fifth condition occurs when (X5−Y5) is greater than a threshold value Z5, where X5 is based on the first activity profile and indicative of an amount of information a user has copied, and Y5 is based on the second activity profile; and when at least one of a plurality of conditions has occurred, generating a notification of the condition occurring.
