Dynamic prioritization of action items

Abstract:

Dynamic prioritization of an action item can include retrieving an electronically rendered text from one or more sampled text sources in response to recognizing a user-related task conveyed within the electronically rendered text. Dynamic prioritization of an action item can also include generating an action item corresponding to the user-related task and prioritizing the action item by assigning to the action item a priority computed based on one or more priority factors corresponding to the user-related task. Each of the one or more priority factors can be automatically selected from a collection of predetermined priority factors. Additionally, dynamic prioritization of an action item can include recomputing the priority assigned to the action item in response to a change in task-related circumstances, as determined based on other electronically rendered text.
