Meta patents system to standardize how users handle assigned tasks
Meta describes a software framework that creates a standard interface for different types of tasks assigned to users. The system groups related data into queries and provides access to this information through an application programming interface (API) for the platform.
In the filing’s own words
Systems and methods are described for unified framework for object-backed actionable tasks assigned to users. Example methods may include identifying, by one or more computer processors coupled to memory, a task type and a task field associated with the task type, generating a common abstract interface using the identified task type and task field, implementing aggregation queries in a framework, populating the aggregation queries, and providing access to the aggregation queries to an API consumed by the platform.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: identifying, by one or more computer processors coupled to memory, a task type and a task field associated with the task type; generating a common abstract interface using the identified task type and task field; implementing aggregation queries in a framework; populating the aggregation queries; and providing access to the aggregation queries to an API consumed by the platform.
