Similarly, the communication device 14 is a diverse type of software and / or suitable for transmitting / receiving data from / to the network server 16 and / or other communication device 14 over network (s) 2. It can also include hardware.
The use of the system 10 will be specifically described with the context in which the user 12 connects to and interacts with the network server 16 and / or other communication device 14 over the network 2 using the communication device 14, but the system 10 of the present invention will be described in detail. It should be understood that is not limited to this use alone. In another embodiment (not shown), user 12 may only interact directly with network server 16. The network server 16 can be a user's own personal computer device or a public computer device (eg, an internet kiosk, library or internet cafe computer device (s). In this other embodiment, the system 10 can be provided by only a single network server 16. This is because software and / or hardware applications (s) and such communication devices 14 are not essential to the operation of system 10. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific arrangement configuration shown in the figure.
As shown in FIG. 2, the network server 16 is at least one web server or SMS server, or is connected to at least one additional network server 16 (not shown) via network (s) 2. Is suitable. The at least one additional network server 16 (not shown) acts as a web server or SMS server, which allows the system 10 to communicate connected to the Internet or telecommunications network (network (s) 2). It is an online service accessible to user 12 who owns device 14 or is near communication device 14.
System 10 may be available free of charge to User 12, or may be provided to User 12 under an "on-demand" application service provider (hereinafter referred to simply as "ASP" herein). You may be charged accordingly for its use. The use of ASP may only apply to users 12 in selected groups (eg, specialty home and / or enterprise users 12) (user 12 can be a heavy user of system 10).
It is preferable that the network server 16 uses security to enable access from the communication device 14. Further, it is preferable that the network server 16 performs an activation function for ensuring the integrity of the data transmitted between the network server 16 and the communication device 14. No such detailed description is provided to those skilled in the art to understand such techniques and many options available to achieve the desired level of security and / or data enablement. Therefore, the present invention should be construed as including within its scope any suitable security and / or data activation techniques that a person skilled in the art deems appropriate.
Communication and / or data transfer between the communication device 14 and the network server 16 over network (s) 2 is any suitable communication and / or data transfer protocol 3 (eg, email, SMS, MMS). , FTP, hypertext transfer protocol (hereinafter simply referred to as "HTTP" in the present specification), transfer control protocol / Internet protocol (hereinafter simply referred to as "TCP / IP" in the present specification), any suitable Internet-based Message services, any combination of the above protocols and / or technologies, and / or any other suitable protocol that allows data delivery and / or communication / data transfer between the communication device 14 and the network server 16. Or it can be achieved using communication technology).
Access to the network server 16 and data transfer between the communication device 14 and the network server 16 can be provided intermittently (eg, at the time of request), but preferably "live" (ie, in real time). Will be done.
As mentioned above, the system 10 of FIG. 2 allows the user 12 to use his or her own personalized language for communication purposes via the user's communication device 14, eg, using the project website 1 shown in FIG. Designed to be able to generate.
With reference to FIG. 1 again, user 12 of system 10 (FIG. 2) with project website 1 (hosted by network server 16) over network 2, for example using SMS or email protocol 3. It turns out that it can interact. In this figure, project website 1 has user input data (eg commands, captured language) transmitted / received via data transfer protocol 3 as indicated by block (a) in this figure. You can see that it is designed to be interpreted and captured by Site 1. Block (b) shows that all data captured by Project Website 1 is stored in the appropriate repository or database (s) 20 (see Figure 2) for future reference / search purposes. Is shown. Blocks (c) and (d) are the data generated using Project Website 1 and / or any personalized language to User 12 at the time of request or as required (in various forms). ) Show how it is made available.
See FIG. 3 here to provide a deeper understanding of how users 12 of System 10 can generate and use personalized communication languages, eg, using Project Website 1 of FIG. Figure 3 shows the behavior of a suitable language generation module 30 suitable for use with Project Website 1.
In FIG. 3, it can be seen that in order to generate the user's own personalized language, the user 12 may first need to subscribe to the project website 1 as indicated by block 32. It is understood that subscription-based services are not essential to the operation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the specific examples provided above. After joining and / or logging on to Project Website 1, User 12 is free to navigate to Language Generation Page 34 of Project Website 1, after which the user's own personalized communication language is developed in accordance with the present invention. Ready to generate.
The language has many purposes (eg, the following purposes: (i) user identifier (ie, for example, ID crest, mood ring / icon [see eg "mood ring" in Figure 2] and / or more details below]. Generation of contact icons as described in) and / or (ii) subscribers / users 12 project website 1 own pages or similar websites / applications (not shown) on various platforms Can be generated for publication (but not limited to) languages used in the future.
On language page 34, a language wheel (see block 34 in Figure 3) is available to users through Project Website 1 of System 10 for the purpose of assisting User 12 in language generation. Can be presented in 12. As shown in FIG. 3, the language wheel can be a circular (three-dimensional) icon with various segments. Each of these segments represents a different kind of language selected by user 12. User 12 then uses a segment of the language wheel (block 34) to select various types of language elements (eg, colors, symbols, images, sounds, etc. (see block 36 in Figure 3), for example only). ) Can be simply clicked as desired.
Now referring to blocks 36 and 38 of FIG. 3, when user 12 selects a desired language element (eg, "voice"), a theme drop-down menu may appear for user 12 to select. Nature, games, adventure, environment, street culture, etc. are just a few examples of themes. Each theme preferably has a fixed number of choices preset by System 10 as a default. User 12 may sample the voice if desired and then finally select the voice (s) that are most appealing to the particular purpose that User 12 desires (eg, for User 12's ID crest). You can choose your favorite voice, and about moodling / icon, user 12 can choose the theme and related voices that represent the user's current emotions). After selecting their desired voice (s), user 12 may drag and drop that / those voices (s) on the language wheel shown in block 34. After the audio (s) has been uploaded, the appropriate section / segment of the language wheel may shine (or another) to indicate that the relevant segment of the wheel has been "set". Do the same in some cases).
After defining all the language elements that user 12 wants to define, the user has the user's identifier as a social network site (eg Facebook or Myspace), another application programming interface (s) (s). In the book, you may be prompted to choose whether or not it is for "API (s)" and / or project website 1 etc. For project website 1, the ID crest can be (i) placed on the user 12's own page within the website 1 and (ii) the "direction" of any group of which the subscriber / user 12 is a member. It can be used as a reference on a "page" (more on this later) and / or (iii) in any community in which the subscriber / user 12 participates. When User 12 checks / selects his answer, the appropriate icon or choice to be selected appears to upload the language to User 12. User 12 may then be prompted to upload his ID crest, etc. to his own page, such as Project Website 1.
Any language generated through System 10 has multiple purposes (eg, generation of content uploaded to an attribute identifier, private and confidential communication between selected couplings or groups, and / or communication devices. It is understood that it can be used for (omission of daily communication via 14).
People want abstract symbols that leave room for interpretation when they get to know each other. By exposing things such as symbols to the outside world, the above objectives can be achieved, resulting in interest, continuous contact and discovery processes.
Personalized languages (eg, symbols, voices and / or other sensory outputs) that can be selected / generated for use through the methods and / or systems of the present invention and / or any related product are used in everyday life. Can be adopted or used in many ways, for example, System 10 provides related television programs that can use a personalized language generated by User 12 or a language preset for cross-platform branding purposes, etc. obtain. User 12 may not choose to use said branded symbols (ie, preset languages) provided through System 10, but these branded symbols are still available as options and are diverse. Can serve as a header for the proposed symbol categories available across various platforms.
Instead of using standard (prior art) text and basic symbols to convey meaning, use such a multi-sensory application and / or multi-faceted personalized language system provided through System 10. This provides many benefits. To give an example of such benefits, the time required to generate text messages, emails, etc. has been reduced, the time required to communicate complex information has been reduced, and the universality of the language as symbols, drawings, colors, etc. There are many cost benefits, and / or communication devices, given that it is universal, almost crosses all cultural boundaries, and as a result, the telecommunications market today is globalized. By giving the user 12 the ability to generate his or her own language through the system 10 (eg, the user 12 can use the navigation function (eg, menu) 14 of his or her communication device) in the selection of information about the 14 It can be personalized by its own meaningful language, so that again user 12 is satisfied with self-expression and gains confidence in (but not limited to) competent communication devices 12 and brands. There is.
Some users 12 desire various other forms of sensory interpretation (eg, vibration or audio changes) as a means of expression, while others desire only visual interpretation. It is possible to provide such a user 12 with a full use of the five senses experience via the system 10 (although, of course, the communication device 14 of such a user 12 can relay these sensory experiences. Only if possible). According to a further aspect of the invention, such a communication device 14 allows the user 12 to transmit one or more sensory outputs to the social network platform 10 or another capable communication device 14 via the messaging system 10. It is intended to be provided by the present invention so that the device 10 or platform receiving the message can transmit the message to the intended recipient with the experience of using the full senses.
As an example, in an online environment, the invention is expected to provide the user with the following tools: (i) the user himself (ie, as an example, who the user is, what What it looks like, what it means), the mood of the user, what part of the user is speaking (for example, if the user's heart is speaking and connected to this aspect of the user, the heart icon defines this. [For example, see Figure 10a], or whether the user's head is familiar with the preference for certain types of voice that define the user), and / or the multifaceted definition of the optimal time to contact. Tools for defining typical identifiers, (ii) groups and group identifiers (as described in (i) above), subgroups and subgroup identifiers, used within groups and subgroups and externally on other platforms. Multi-sensory application languages and / or tools for generating networks and network identifiers, and / or (iii) other forms of the generated language (eg, manufactured products (eg, keyrings, displays or other). Tools used in commodities (see, eg, Figure 9), such other forms, are identifiers for user 12 or facilitate IDs and values of companies, groups, networks or organizations (but to these). Not limited to).
As briefly described above with reference to FIGS. 1-3, the project website 1 of System 10 has a high level personalized user identifier 40 (eg, ID crest, mood ring or icon (Figure 2). Can also be used for the purpose of generating) and / or contact icons).
Various diagrams are provided in FIGS. 4a-4d. 4a-4d, respectively, are suitable visual representations of the appropriate user identifier 40 or its various aspects that can be generated according to the system 10 of the present invention. It is understood that these figures show only some examples of the types of user identifiers 40 that can be generated in accordance with the present invention. Many arbitrary forms of identifiers (not shown) can be explicitly provided via system 10, and therefore such other identifiers are intended to be included within the scope of this application. As an example, such a user identifier 40 may be displayed as a three-dimensional block diagram that is rotated and / or animated to display the user's ID, mood and / or current status, and so on. Those skilled in the art will understand many modifications of the user identifier 40 and therefore the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the specific examples provided above.
In FIG. 4a, a visual representation of the appropriate user identifier 40 or user ID is illustrated in an exploded view to show various aspects of the identifier 40. The identifier 40 can be accessed individually and can all be stored in one file. In this figure, it can be seen that the user identifier 40 may include a front page 42 having links to other pages or faces of the identifier 40. To give examples of other suitable pages / faces, profile page 44, contact page 46 that user 12 can use, for example, to display the optimal contact time, various personal attributes or users. There are 12 personal pages 48 that can be outlined in detail, and / or global pages 50 (but not limited to) that can be used to indicate a user's 12 friends, groups, networks, and so on. In this figure, item 52 is used to show that all faces 42-50 of the user identifier 40 can be combined and stored in a single file.
FIG. 4b provides an exemplary detail of the various personal aspects that can be stored within the user's identifier 40. More specifically, in this figure, for example, by clicking the link 43 provided on the front page 42 of the identifier 40 shown in FIG. 4a, further information can be accessed, visually recognized, and the information can be displayed. It turns out that it can be updated and / or generated. The figure on the left side of FIG. 4b shows that the user 12 can generate the personal identifier 40, for example by selecting a language element via the language generation module 30 described above with reference to FIG. On the other hand, the figure on the right side of FIG. 4b shows that user 12 may provide / upload personal details about himself or his status that may be contained within personal page 48 of user identifier 40 shown in FIG. 4a. ..
4c and 4d are provided to show in more detail a suitable visual identifier 40 that can be generated according to the system 10 of the present invention. In Figure 4c, the group identifier 40a (which may exemplify all members of a group, community, alliance, network or organization) and / or the specific project identifier 40b (which, for example, in the case of a company, the organization concerned). It is possible to merge the user's personal identifier 40 within database 20 of system 10 accessible via project website 1) to provide (exemplifying all members of a particular project underway). You can see that. It can also be seen in Figure 4c that the front pages of the various identifiers 40, 40a and 40b may contain a variety of specific visual representations for a group of users 12, a project, and so on. As an example, in this figure, these suitable identifiers 40, 40a and 40b may use colors, symbols, text, etc. to visually represent faces such as individuals (users 12), groups or projects. I understand.
Figure 4d is similar to Figure 4c, but in this figure the various aspects of individual, group and / or project identifiers 40, 40a and 40b are combined by System 10 to duplicate these identifiers. A further combined identifier 40c is provided as a means of demonstrating that the visual representation can be generated. Thus, for example, the resulting combined identifier 40c represents user 12's personal, group, and project attributes.
FIGS. 4a-4c show that user 12 of system 10 can generate a community (or group) and generate a name and identifier 40a (eg, by selecting a checkbox such as a symbol) for that community. User 12 may choose to make the community private or public. If the community is private, only members of the community (user 12) can see the ID crests, mood icons, community mood icons, etc. of the members involved. If the community is public, all visitors to Project Website 1 (user 12) will be able to see the member's personal ID crest, mood icon and mood icon for the community with community identifier 40a.
After establishing the community identifier 40a and name, the generator can send invitations via the appropriate communication protocol 3 (eg via email or via links to various social networks). Alternatively, wherever a group of friends or colleagues communicate, invite them to join Project Website 1 to become a member of the community, language and their own personal ID crest, mood icon, etc. Tell them that they can participate in the community if they specify. If the community is selected as public, the member may choose whether or not the content of the member's conversation (identifier 40) is directional. If the content of the member's conversation (identifier 40) is relevant to the direction, the member can link to the "Direction Page" (detailed later herein) on Project Website 1, thus. You can extend member exposure and access to members (user 12) to more communities with similar activity focus or interests.
The community facilitator can set up a rating system for the various elements of the language and the meaning of each element (eg, color). In this way, community members contact the group facilitators if they want to discuss the facilitator's choice, suggest other choices, and / or post an invitation to a discussion about the community's selected discussion forum. obtain.
As mentioned above, the community mood icon 40a can be formed by merging the individual mood icons (identifier 40) of various members.
Give weights (eg, weights from 1 to 10 depending on the number of choices (the number of choices is uniform across all language elements)) to elements of different languages (eg colors, symbols, images, sounds, etc.) This can facilitate the merger of member (ie, user 12) identifier 40.
When any old community mood data is updated, this old community mood data can be stored in database 20 for reference and for graphs or displays on the pages of the community itself within Project Website 1. After that, you can access this old community mood icon etc. as needed by clicking the related section of the graph.
FIG. 5 illustrates a flow diagram showing a preferred method 100 for updating the mood state of the user identifier 40 according to the system 10 of the present invention. In the flow diagram of FIG. 5, only the preferred method 100 for updating the mood state of the user identifier 40 is referred to, but the same or similar method for updating other attributes / faces of the user identifier 40 according to the present invention (FIG. 5). It is understood that (not shown) may also be used.
In this figure, to update the mood state of user identifier 40 according to method 100, user 12 first sends a request to project website 1 of system 10 using the appropriate communication protocol 3 (eg SMS or email). I know I have to. This request contains, for example, data or words that correspond to the meaning of the text given to the various elements of the language on Site 1. This request indicates that the changing situation of user 12 (and may include further details of user 12 so that system 10 wants to change who user 12 is and / or user 12 wants to change. You can know for sure). Words contained in the request (eg, happy, sad or angry) indicating words related to emotions are referenced on Project Website 1 (users select from a set of emotion dictionaries corresponding to each element of the language). Can also be). Block 102 of method 100 indicates that the request message is received by the project website 1 of system 10.
In decision block 104, it may be confirmed whether the request message contains natural language (obviously, other confirmations may be made further or alternative). If in block 104 it is determined that the request does not contain natural language, method 100 proceeds to decision block 106 to further confirm whether the request is readable and / or valid. If in decision block 104 it is determined that the request contains a natural language, method 100 proceeds to block 108 and the natural language in the request is required to implement the mood change requested by user 12. It is converted to a predetermined format that represents a state command. Method 100 then returns to decision block 106 as well.
If decision block 106 determines that the request is actually invalid or contains bad syntax, method 100 proceeds to block 110 and states that the requested mood change cannot be made due to an error. Message to user 12, then method 100 draws a conclusion or exits at block 112.
If the decision block 106 determines that the request is valid, method 100 proceeds to block 114 to determine a new mood state indicator from the commands contained within the request.
In decision block 116, yet another confirmation is made. In this confirmation, it is confirmed whether the new mood status indicator is valid or possible, and if the new mood status indicator is valid or possible, the new mood status indicator is displayed in block 118. Generated and stored (eg in cache) and searchable. Then, in block 120, an output state change response is generated and sent to user 12 to indicate that the mood state of user 12 has been updated and is available (any related message is also available to user 12 at this stage). May be sent to). Method 100 then concludes at block 112 as before.
If the decision block 116 determines that the new mood indicator is invalid, the block 122 informs the user that the mood indicator has been modified and that block 124 has modified the requested mood indicator. Message is generated. Method 100 then proceeds to block 118 as before, the new mood state indicator is generated, the output response is sent to user 12 (related messages were generated in block 124), and then the conclusion is made in block 112. put out.
Method 100 may require and / or use a variety of state commands to update the mood state of user identifier 40. For example, in method 100, a set of mappings can be assigned to the mood state and weighted, for example, 10 = very happy ~ 1 = depressed.
Each symbol, color, image and / or audio provided through Project Website 1 is given a number that allows newly updated mood states or icons to be arranged according to the number given to each language element. Can be done.
User 12 may wish to send in a form that omits the mood state update and may have this option. For example, after knowing the number given to each language element, the user clicks the "Skip Updates" tab or button (not shown) on Project Website 1, and then, for example, C (means color). ) = 1 (ie blue), IM (meaning image) = 2 (ie cloud), SY (meaning symbol) = 1 (flat line) and / or S (meaning voice) = SMS by wind , E-mail, etc. can be sent in abbreviated form.
When user 12 reconstructs the mood icon by sending an update, the intuition database 20 of system 10 uses the predetermined settings set by user 12 on the project website 1 to change the mood state or icon of user identifier 40. change. The new mood icon is stored on database 20 and can also be referenced as a graph in User 12's own page in Project Website 1, after which the new current mood icon is displayed in User 12's own in Project Website 1. It will be posted on the page of. Old mood state data may be stored in database 20 for reference and for graphs displayed on the user 12's own page. The old mood state icon is then made accessible by user 12 by clicking on the relevant section of the graph or another visual display within identifier 40.
According to another embodiment (not shown), the present invention may use a suitable speech recognition protocol (eg, IVR (Interactive Voice Response Box)). Such a speech recognition protocol can act as a plug-in associated with block 106 of method 100. In such another embodiment, voice-automated questions and answers are used, so that selected responses and feedback are set to update the mood state of user identifier 40.
As an example, the communication part of identifier 40 (in FIG. 4a) to show that other aspects of user identifier 40 can also be easily updated by a method similar to method 100 shown in FIG. 5 (not shown). Considering item 46), user 12 can send a request to project website 1 via an appropriate communication protocol (eg, SMS email). Project Website 1 contains text, words and / or other data. These texts, words and / or other data correspond to the commands needed to change the language element on Project Website 1 and contact the user 12 situations (eg busy, very busy, ~). Impossible, on vacation until ~).
In contrast to method 100 for updating the mood state of identifier 40, for a similar method (not shown) for updating the contact icon (46) for identifier 40, the update uses characters (ie, not shown). Weighting may not be necessary because it uses only text).
FIG. 6 shows a flow diagram showing a preferred method 200 for retrieving the current mood state of the user identifier 40 according to the system 10 of the present invention. In the flow diagram of FIG. 6, only the preferred method 200 for retrieving the current mood state of user identifier 40 is referenced, but the same or similar for retrieving other attributes / faces of user identifier 40 according to the present invention. It is understood that the method (not shown) is also available.
In this figure, in order to retrieve the current mood state of user identifier 40 according to method 200, user 12 first uses the appropriate communication protocol 3 (eg SMS or email) to the project website of System 10. It turns out that you have to send a request to 1. This request contains, for example, data, words or commands corresponding to the commands required by Project Website 1 to search for the current mood state. Block 202 of Method 200 indicates the receipt of the request message by Project Website 1 of System 10.
In block 204, the ability of the communication device 14 of the user 12 is confirmed for the purpose of providing the current mood state of the association identifier 40. At block 206, details of the identified device 14 capabilities may be saved for future reference.
In decision block 208, it is confirmed whether or not the requested mood state is available. If block 208 determines that the requested mood state is unavailable, method 200 proceeds to block 210 and sends user 12 a message indicating that the requested mood state is unavailable. Send, then method 200 draws a conclusion or ends at block 212.
If it is determined in decision block 208 that the requested mood state is available, method 200 proceeds to block 214 and the requested mood state is retrieved and can be sent to user 12. Become. In block 216, the capabilities of device 14 of user 12 saved in block 206 are rereferenced and compared to the mood state retrieved in block 214. If it is determined that the device 14's ability to search the entire mood state data is limited, in this block (block 216) the mood state data is modified for the user 12's device 14. Then, in block 218, the resulting mood state data (or the original data if no modification was needed in block 216) is sent to user 12, and finally, method 200 is block 212 as before. To conclude in.
FIG. 7 shows a flow diagram showing a preferred method 300 for utilizing the attributes of the user identifier 40 for the purpose of performing enhanced television or other programming searches. In this figure, it can be seen that the ID and mood state of the user with identifier 40 can be used to enhance television and / or other programming-based searches. It is understood that other attributes of User 12's identifier 40 can also be used for the same purpose. This ease of enhanced search is highly suited for digital TV, video-on-demand, mobile TV, in-flight entertainment on air routes, etc., where personalization of offerings is much more demanding than ever before. ..
In this figure, in order to perform such an enhanced television-based search, etc., according to method 300, the user 12 first uses the appropriate communication protocol 3 (eg, SMS or email) to the system 10. I find that I have to send a request to Project Website 1. This request includes, for example, data or words. This data or word corresponds to the meaning of the text given to the various elements of the language on Site 1 required for search purposes. Block 302 of method 300 indicates that the request message is received by the project website 1 of system 10 and the like.
At block 304, the ability of the program search communication device 14 for the purpose of performing the search can be confirmed. Although not shown, the capabilities of device 14 can also be preserved for future reference, as in method 200 shown in FIG.
At block 306, the current mood state supported by device 14 is searched for the purpose of the enhanced search. In the determination block 308, it is confirmed whether or not the requested mood state is available. If it is determined in block 308 that the requested mood state is not available, method 300 proceeds to block 310 and sends a message to device 14 indicating that the requested mood state is not available. Send, then at block 312 Method 300 draws a conclusion or exits.
If it is determined in decision block 308 that the requested mood state is available, method 300 proceeds to block 314 and uses the requested mood state to use device 14 (determined in block 304). Perform an enhanced program search that takes into account the abilities of. Then, in block 316, the required search is performed using the search terms that the resulting device can handle, and finally, method 300 concludes in block 312 as before.
The search mechanism used in block 314 may be any suitable search tool or application, but according to one embodiment of the present invention, the search mechanism 800 described later with reference to Example 18 in the present specification. It may be the same or similar.
FIG. 8 illustrates a flow diagram showing a preferred method 400 for utilizing the attribute of the user identifier 40 for the purpose of performing an advanced internet search. In this figure, it can be seen that advanced search can be performed using the mood state of the user ID and identifier 40. It is understood that other attributes of User 12's identifier 40 can be used for the same purpose. By using such advanced Internet search, it is possible to provide what the user is looking for in a mood (without having to enter text each time a search is performed), which greatly enhances the search experience of user 12. Will be done. For any user 12 request, the user ID, the mood icon of the user identifier 40, and the like can be used to further narrow down and enhance the search results of the user 12.
In this figure, in order to perform such an advanced internet search according to Method 400, the user 12 first uses the appropriate communication protocol 3 (eg SMS or email) to the project website 1 of system 10 or It turns out that the request must be sent to a search engine (not shown) accessible via network 2. The request includes, for example, words that represent the data or search terms used. Block 402 of method 400 indicates reception of the request message by the project website 1 of system 10 or the like.
At block 404, the ability of the search engine communication device 14 for the purpose of performing the requested search can be confirmed. Although not shown, the capabilities of device 14 can also be preserved for future reference, as in method 200 shown in FIG.
At block 406, the current mood state supported by device 14 is searched for the purpose of advanced search. In the determination block 408, it is confirmed whether or not the requested mood state is available. If block 408 determines that the requested mood state is unavailable, method 400 proceeds to block 410 and sends a message to device 14 indicating that the requested mood state is unavailable. Send, then in block 412 Method 400 draws a conclusion or ends.
If it is determined in decision block 408 that the requested mood state is available, method 400 proceeds to block 414 and uses the requested mood state to use device 14 (determined in block 404). Perform an advanced internet search that takes into account your abilities. Then, in block 416, the resulting device performs the necessary search using the search terms available, and finally, in block 412, method 400 concludes, as before.
As in the case of method 300 shown in FIG. 7, the search mechanism used in block 414 may be any suitable search tool or application, but according to one embodiment of the invention, examples herein. It may be the same as or similar to the search mechanism 800 described later with reference to 18.

In other words, such goods can be used as a physical portable identifier 40 to perform the same or similar function as an identifier used electronically or online.
In each of the products 502 to 506 shown in FIG. 9, the communication method and / or for updating the settings or attributes of the user 12 according to the mood of the user 12 set on the project website 1 and / or Color changes or other sensory changes can be made through other means using the system. The incoming signal causes a change in the ring 502 or product, which indicates and / or visually notifies user 12 and / or another user 12. of the change. A couple or group can coordinate and have rings 502 (ie, for example, these rings 502 can be set to change simultaneously to the mood of all 12 users), thereby in a situation. You can notify each other of changes. Also, using a ring 502, a watch 504 (or a watch band 504a) or an element in a garment 506, etc., the user's ID is displayed instead of the user's mood, etc., for corporate uniforms and / or branding purposes, etc. Can be used.
Figures 10a and 10b are additional representations of suitable visual representations associated with individuals, groups, and / or project identifiers 40, 40a, and 40b. These suitable visual displays are suitable for use with any one of the communication methods and / or systems of the present invention. A suitable identifier 40 is particularly suitable for an indexing system made according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 10a, it can be seen that the identifier 40 of user 12 can be visually displayed as a 2D or 3D representation. The 2D (or square) representation is suitable, for example, when posting information and identification of the user 12 is required for indexing purposes. The 2D representation is also suitable for use, for example, when sourcing individual members of a group within group identifier 40a. If more details about identifier 40 of user 12 are needed, the 3D representation can be easily displayed by clicking on the 2D representation.
For 3D representations, block 1 can be used to represent the face of user 12, which can be accompanied by photographs, images, drawings, etc., thus allowing user 12's preferred face or user's exposure. It can be seen that the current important appearance of the face can be easily seen. Block 2 can be used to represent the central section of user 12, so block 2 can be accompanied by a "heart" icon or picture, which allows user 12 to speak from user 12 himself, for example, from his own heart. It can be shown that it is defined as being close to or close to its own heart. On the other hand, block 3 can be used to represent other body parts or sections of user 12 (eg, user 12's "stomach"), thus block 3 can be accompanied by a "stomach" icon or pattern, thereby. , The user 12 can indicate that the user 12 is speaking from his or her instinctive intuition.
Of course, many other arbitrary modifications of visual display may be used in accordance with the present invention, and thus such alternative arrangements are intended to be within the scope of the present application.
In FIG. 10b, suitable visual representations are provided showing how groups and / or networks are generated according to any one of the communication methods and / or systems of the present invention. These suitable visual representations and related identifiers 40 are particularly suitable for indexing systems made according to preferred embodiments of the present invention.
In this figure, it can be seen that the identifiers 40, 40a and 40b can be displayed in various modes so as to indicate the mode in which the group is generated. In (i), it can be seen that the identifier 40 of the user 12 is itself represented in 2D form. On the other hand, in (ii)-(iv), the identifier 40 of the plurality of users 12 maps or visually indicates a group (ii), a community (iii) and a network (iv) that can be formed or generated according to the present invention. It can be seen that they are interconnected in various ways.
Regarding the generation of community or group identifier 40a As mentioned above, if the community facilitator chooses to publish the community identifier 40a, other members of the community are concerned with the content of their conversation (identifier 40) in the direction. You can choose whether or not to do it. If the content of their conversation (identifier 40) is directional, these members can link to the "Direction Page" (not shown) on Project Website 1 and thus similar. You can extend member exposure and access to members (user 12) to more communities of activity focus or interest.
On the appropriate "direction page" (not shown) of the project website 1, user 12 can preferably: That is, (1) user 12 can see, for example, a tree. This tree has (i) various branch lines that indicate different directions (eg, environment, music, streets, humanity, sports, etc.). And / or (ii) user 12 can see the posted community identifier on the tree, thus the tree is a huge amount of easily identified information linked to a group of users 12. It becomes a filing system. (2) User 12 may click on one of the community icon or other identifier 40a to go to that community and link to information that User 12 is interested in and other User 12-(each interest group). Have specific icons or other identifiers 40a, and these icons or other identifiers 40a may have subgroups for further specificity). (3) User 12 sends a proposal for a new branch line or new interest group and uses and links to the user's own community page once the new interest group is certified and posted on the "direction page". be able to. (4) User 12 may return to the language and ID crest page via a link to define what User 12 means or to define the symbol of the interest group. (5) The user 12 can use his / her own ID as an icon to navigate and drag different branch lines that the user is interested in. (6) User 12 is associated with (i) events, (ii) websites of interest, (iii) key issues affecting the user's community and / or discussion forums on topics of interest. You can choose whether or not you want to receive the information. (7) User 12 shines on the user's interest group icon when new information or new postings on the user's "direction page" related to the user's interest group come. Can see other visual indicators). And / or (8) User 12 may check one or more boxes to turn off the user's request for the type of information (s) (such as item 6 above). ..
The user 12 of such a "direction page" can delve into the specific user 12 belonging to the interest group. User 12 can see the ID crest of the user who lists his ID crest as "publicly viewable" and can directly contact all members of the interest group who have selected public access as contact details. Can be linked.
According to a further aspect, the present invention may also provide a user of an online social network (eg, a Facebook user) with the ability to become a project user 12 of System 10, solely for illustrative purposes as follows. .. (i) A person may see a project icon, brand or other identifier 40b on a friend's social network page. (ii) The person may then take action to add the project application to his or her social network page. (iii) When the person presses "Add", the person is directed to the page and asked for access information. Then, the application is installed and posted on the profile page of the person. (iv) After the person adds the application, the person is sent to Project Website 1. (v) You will then be asked to complete the registration process in order to use Project Website 1. (vi) The person may then become user 12 of system 10 and then generate languages and icons and other identifiers 40 as described above herein. (vii) User 12 may then update the generated language and icon on User 12's own page within Project Website 1. Within Project Website 1, subscribers (user 12) can view: (a) User 12 in Project Website 1 User-generated language and icon on its own page Links to the generated purpose (ID crest, mood icon, contact icon, etc.), (b) User's ID crest , Mood icons, contact icons, etc., (c) Communities of which the user is a member, and (d) Public display of the mood of user 12. (viii) The information is then stored in database 20 and the profile of user 12 is updated. (ix) Each time user 12's own page in Project Website 1 is updated, an icon or identifier 40 characterized on another platform (eg social network (eg Myspace or Facebook)) will be posted. And updated.
To provide a deeper understanding of the methods of communication and / or the operation of the system of the present invention, a plurality of examples of possible uses of the system 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-23. It should be understood that the following examples only show some of the possible uses of System 10 and therefore the present invention should not be construed as being limited to these examples provided. Is.
<p> Person A (12) sends a text message (SMS or MMS3) to person B (12) from his input terminal or communication device 14. The input terminal or communication device 14 employs both text and images. The image is one of the choices set on the device 14, or is generated on or externally by the sender 12 on the device 14 and then generated via the device 14 for example via the project website 1. Will be returned to.</p><p> For example, when someone 12 sends a text or other message for the first time, the message is "you make me" ξ "" (where "ξ" (right arrow) = exciting).</p><p> The recipient receives the text and the symbol (ie, "ξ"). After that, the receiver and the sender (user 12) can communicate using only the symbol without any text to explain the meaning. Over time, and due to the knowledge gained by all parties as a result of continued messaging, further omissions that are known and perceived by both the sender and recipient (user 12) can occur.</p><p> This example is applicable to all types of communication devices 14, taking into account all technical limitations due to means of delivery and the like.</p><p> In FIG. 11, a block diagram showing various exemplary data constructs is illustrated. Each of these data constructs can be used (by itself or in combination) according to the (personalized) communication system 10 of the present invention. In this figure, the mood and use of text, images or symbols as an ID profile or language is by subblocks (1a) (eg, text or character symbols) and (3a) (eg, images or pictograms / composite symbols). Shown in blocks (1), (7) and (8).</p>
<p> The character string (ie, user input) may prompt the recipient's phone, terminal and / or other communication device 14 wallpaper to change color to support, for example, the mood of the sender's message. The wallpaper can obviously be reset to its original settings within a predetermined time frame (ie 60-90 seconds). The device 14 or device interface 14 may have various settings (eg, (i) when sending a sad message, the wallpaper on the recipient's phone 14 may be blue, or (ii) another form of message may be specified. If you send it to someone 12, you can have that recipient's phone 14). User 12 can also use and generate his own wallpapers within the software application (ie, within Project Website 1 or a similar application) and use them as wallpaper choices in addition to colors and the like.</p><p> In FIG. 11, the use of color as a mood and ID profile or language is shown within blocks (1), (7) and (8) using subblocks (3b) (eg, a color palette).</p>
<p> When one user 12 sends an image to another user 12 that is inspired by or based on voice, partner or user 12 in the selected group, this other user 12 clicks a button upon request. And you can hear the original voice that inspired the image. Again, the discovery process in the communication process is enhanced, resulting in ongoing interest and increased enjoyment among users.</p><p> In FIG. 11, the image and audio mood and use as an ID profile or language is blocked by subblocks (2) (eg, audio (2a) or music (2b)) and subblocks (3a) (eg, images). It is shown in (1), (7) and (8).</p>
<p> Similarly, by grouping in a social network environment, young people can use existing symbols (eg, MSN and Skype), even within the limits currently available, via, for example, abbreviations (eg atm (now), lol (laughs)). I have already found a way to express myself in my own language through the emotions provided by providers such as.</p><p> The present invention takes additional steps that allow the user 12 to specifically define his or her self-expression with high accuracy. Teens and people in their twenties are often in the process of defining themselves and the "companies" they want to belong to. The present invention provides such adolescents with useful tools adapted to this stage of adolescent life.</p><p> Text, subblocks (1a) (eg, text or character symbols (eg, basic smiley faces)) and subblocks (3a) (eg, images or pictograms / composites), as in Example 1 in FIG. Symbols (eg, emotions)) indicate the mood and use of the symbol as an ID profile or language in blocks (1), (7) & (8).</p>
<p> User 12 or a variety of users 12 may have a personal ID crest or other to the project website 1 or other platform (where the content of a particular project is posted) or the content or method of that project. They interact with each other using a licensed other platform to generate the individual 40 or group identifier 40a of the user 12a, resulting in their own multidimensional picture for the user 12a. This multidimensional design allows you to interact with your friends, colleagues and / or a wider community. The ID crest or other identifier 40 quickly identifies various aspects of the user 12 or community and allows the user 12 or community to effectively interact with their network. This ID crest embodies a variety of language elements. These language elements are defined by user 12 and indicate the meaning of ID crest 40 to the viewer (user 12) of the user's ID crest (identifier 40) (eg, symbols, images, sounds, colors, etc. (provided that they are symbols, images, sounds, colors, etc.). Not limited to these)) posted above.</p><p> In this way, a great variety of information can be quickly transported within a single icon 40: for example, what User 12 means, what empowers User 12, and what User 12 is interested in. What has, user 12's favorite colors, user 12's favorite types of music, whether user 12 is morning or night, festivals that user 12 wants to attend, user 12 is attending or Interest groups that want to participate, user 12 prefers change or stability, user 12 prefers sociability or loneliness, and / or user 12 engages locally, nationally or globally Do you want (but are not limited to)?</p><p> FIG. 12 illustrates an example in which an individual can populate his or her individual mood and ID profile (8) with a variety of data constructs available through system 10 (ie, as shown in FIG. 11). Indicates a method or process. In this figure, user 12 has the desired data composition concepts (eg, text, images) (these are installed on the system or user-generated data as shown). You can use Project Website 1 to populate your profile (8) by dragging and dropping (which can be an element) into your profile page (8a) within Project Website 1. After that, it can be seen that this data is transferred to its own communication device 14 profile (8) (as indicated by the arrow c), and then it can be used as a communication language or the like.</p>
<p> The ID crest or other identifier 40 generated by the present invention can be applied equally within a corporate arena. In this corporate arena, other types of information about User 12 and groups within the company are usefully used as quick and easy identifiers. All useful requested information is easily posted and easily accessible through the use of Project Website 1 so that companies can more effectively arrange and use their staff. ..</p><p> Hierarchy is a standard organizational structure. People at the bottom of the hierarchy know very little about business planning and operation, other than the work assigned to them.</p><p> According to yet another aspect of the invention, organizational and project organizational tools and IT tools using the project structure may instead act as a web matrix structure (see FIGS. 13a-15b). In this web matrix structure, the involvement of users and staff members in the company and the involvement of users and staff members in the project is mapped. User 12 may organize himself into a group of projects that have been identified and profiled, and may post relevant content that is accessible to relevant people. Decisions about who will be a member and who can publish and distribute content can be self-managed (following the guidelines provided by business owners, etc.).</p><p> A company can generate its own ID (identifier 40). The company's own ID (identifier 40) characterizes various aspects of the company's brand and specific interests or project groups within the company. Then, these IDs can be used for mapping within the company.</p><p> The ID crest or other identifier 40 is available across a variety of platforms, is adapted to be properly used for interassociation with the user 12's normal communication methods, and is always readily accessible as a reference. is there.</p><p> In FIGS. 13-13c, various exemplary GUI1x (eg, personal web pages of project website 1) are provided. 13-13c show preferred embodiments of the methods of communication and / or methods that allow the system to be used within a corporate structure of the present invention.</p><p> More specifically, it can be seen that in these diagrams, the various organizational charts are displayed within GUI1x for the purpose of visually mapping the corporate organization and its various aspects.</p><p> With reference to FIG. 13a, it can be seen that when user 12 clicks on the "tree view" button 552 provided in GUI1x, the organization's 3D "tree view" 550 can be displayed in GUI1x. When display is selected via button 552, the various aspects or faces of the "tree display" 550 are visually presented to the user 12. For example, item 554 may represent a department within an organization, item 556 may represent an individual's personal ID (identifier 40) within the organization, and item 558 may represent a department 554 below the management structure.</p><p> It can also be seen in this figure that the "tree view" 550 can also be displayed in 2D form if desired (see item 560).</p><p> On the right side, it can be seen that within GUI1x, a "tree panel" 562 can be provided to provide feedback to user 12 in relation to the particular tissue element being viewed.</p><p> Further buttons 564 (ie, "Search View" button) and 566 (ie, "3D") to switch to the further organization view shown in Figures 13b and 13c along the "Tree View" button 552 at the bottom of the display in GUI1x. It can be seen that an enhanced view button) can also be provided.</p><p> In FIG. 13b, when the user 12 clicks the "search view" button 564 provided in GUI1x, it can be seen that the 3D matrix type "search view" 568 of this organization can be displayed in GUI1x. This "search view" 568 is the searched organization attribute after the organization search is performed by inputting the search term in the "search" field 570 provided in the upper left corner of the "search view" 568 display. Or it is a visual expression of an individual, department, etc.</p><p> To enhance the 3D "Search View" 568 and / or improve bidirectionality within this GUI1x, for example, in the upper right corner of the "Search View" 568 screen, a "Rotate View" button or icon 572 may be provided. .. With such a "Rotate View" button 572, the user 12 can easily rotate the display as needed to highlight the various relationships (elements, etc.) exhibited by this "Search View" 568 display. Can be clearly shown.</p><p> On the right side of GUI1x, the "Refine Search" field 574 is displayed to allow User 12 to refine his organization search and thus the "Search View" 568 display displayed within the resulting GUI1x. It turns out that it can be provided. "Search refiner" description 576 to explain the icons etc. that can be used for search purposes in the lower right side of GUI1x to help the user understand the provided search tool Can be provided.</p><p> In FIG. 13c, it can be seen that when user 12 clicks on the "3D Enhanced View" button 566 provided within GUI1x, the organization's 3D "Enhanced View" 578 can be displayed within GUI1x. This "enhanced view" 578 is a visual representation of an organization using, for example, a room with five different walls (ie, roof, left wall, right wall, back wall and floor as shown).</p><p> The front of this "room" is indicated by item 580, and the rear of this "room" (ie, the rear wall) is indicated by item 582.</p><p> The "black block" 584 shown within the "enhanced view" 578 can have multiple uses. For example, "black block" 584 may indicate links to other rooms, matrices, search result pairs, documents and / or groups of documents. These "black blocks" 584 can be optionally enabled and organized by user 12 of system 10.</p><p> On the right side within GUI1x, it can be seen that a "room panel" 586 can be provided to give user 12 feedback on the walls and elements visible within GUI1x. Similarly, to further assist User 12's understanding of the elements and / or IDs displayed within GUI1x, an "ID Panel" 588 may be provided at the bottom right of the display to provide relevant feedback information.</p><p> In FIGS. 14a-14d, a variety of diagrams are provided to detail the individual exemplary elements that can be used within the suitable GUI1x shown in FIGS. 13a-13c. That is, in FIG. 14a, the various functions of the "light" element 590 are shown to show how different modes or attributes can be expressed using changes in the brightness, contrast, etc. of these elements. This optical function works with transparency and brightness. Highly relevant results become more opaque and less relevant results become more transparent and disappear. In FIG. 14b, the various functions of the "extruded" element 592 are shown to show how different attributes can be represented using changes in the angles, shading, etc. of these elements. The extrusion function raises or lowers the element along the Z axis from the origin of the element. As an example, an increase in height may be set to indicate the degree of relevance and a decrease in height may be set to indicate the degree of irrelevance. In FIG. 14c, the various functions of the "tilt" element 594 are shown to show how different attributes can be represented using changes such as the angles of these elements. Tilt refers to rotating an element on its x-axis. The available tilt range is 0-180 degrees, but can be more limited at the request of the user, with consideration given to the best delivery of functionality and readability, differences in visual delivery software (eg, for example). Consider differences due to 3D or flash software). The graphical effect of tilt is affected by both the angle of the view and the mode of light reflection from the element. In FIG. 14d, the various functions of the "color" element 596 are shown to show how different attributes can be represented using changes such as the color of these elements. The coloration of the elements is used to indicate the relevance of the search item, or the shades of color indicate the weight or quantity of the search results. The color can be specified by the user, but the default setting is red, yellow and blue. It has become. Examples andRed is thick or highly relevant, and blue is light or low. Finally, in FIG. 14e, the various functions of the "Z-rotation" element 598 are shown to show how different attributes can be expressed by using changes such as rotation, orientation, etc. of these elements. .. The rotation of the element takes place on the z-axis of the element. The available tilt range is 0-180 degrees, but can be more limited depending on the user's request, with consideration given to the best delivery of functionality and readability, differences in visual delivery software (eg, for example). Consider differences due to 3D or flash software). The graphical effect of rotation highlights elements by arranging them at different angles so that any element off the line can be quickly identified. All graphic function settings can be customized by the user.</p><p> It is understood that the specific elements 590-598 shown in FIGS. 14a-14e show only examples of suitable elements that can be used in accordance with the communication system 10 of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand many modifications and therefore the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments provided.</p><p> Figures 15a and 15b are provided to detail the available views and transition or separation effects. These available views and transition or isolation effects may be provided as used within the preferred (corporate) tissue visual representation shown within GUI1x of FIGS. 13a-13c, solely for illustrative purposes. .. As in the previous case, as described above with reference to the exemplary elements shown in FIGS. 14a-14e, the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments provided.</p><p> Many options are available, such as the actual organization search or the type of organization search that can be performed using the "Search" field 570 provided in GUI 1x of the display of "Search View" 568 in Figure 13b. It is understood that there is. Any suitable search mechanism, including existing search engine applications, can be used (eg, as described below according to Example 17).</p><p> For example, the visual display of the results in Search View 568 of FIG. 13b can use multiple dimensions of the obtained search results. Each dimension may be associated with a categorization of information based on one or a combination of the metadata attributes of interest being searched.</p><p> This visual representation is to represent a category through a three-dimensional three-dimensional depiction of the range of categories. Each category is represented via symbols or icons arranged in the layout so that all categories can be easily viewed.</p><p> Each keyword used in the search gives the visual quality applied to the category symbol, which allows the user 12 to distinguish the relative strength of the search match within the category by the quality. The quality may be with visual, audio, or some other sensation that can be expressed through the computer interface 14. For example, tilting (tilting) a symbol to a plane (or tile) can provide an indication of the relative number of matches within a given category. Examples of other qualities include orientation to other symbols, color depth, brilliance, or any other visual use that allows the user to distinguish between diverse categories.</p><p> Each quality can be applied to each category symbol at the same time. For example, if there are three keywords included in the search, three different qualities are used for each symbol to indicate the relative size of the results for each keyword. Thus, user 12 can distinguish between categories containing the maximum number of "matches" for any single keyword or any combination of keywords.</p><p> User 12 selects a specific category of interest and continues in that category until each symbol reaches a level that indicates an individual object (eg, a document or personal record, or some other object). You can dig into the details of the lower levels. User 12 can also modify the attributes (or set of categories) to base on the visual depiction of the results obtained. For example, in the initial display, organizational units or departments may be used to see categories that can be changed to age category classification. Since the result distribution can be different in different category dimensions, recalculate the visual queue or quality (or use a pre-calculated date) and change the display of quality.</p><p> If the search results return to a document or personal record or an individual subject representing another subject, the quality may be associated with a specific relevance assessment for that subject, as that subject is associated with each keyword. The mechanism for determining the relevance evaluation may be the same as that used in the search mechanism, or some mechanism as used by other available search engines (eg Google, Yahoo). It may be.</p>
<p> Languages generated according to the methods and / or systems of communication of the present invention can be utilized by biofeedback devices, proximity, badges, keycards, etc. to personalize the physical environment.</p><p> In the case of biofeedback devices, such devices can be placed on the user's 12 fingers to measure the user's response to a particular question, multiple languages, and so on. This process, for example, has an interface with the game loaded on the mobile device 14, via the game that can be downloaded to the mobile device 14, and / or with another device 14, via the game console.

The search mechanism 800 may be a function used for categorizing matching of user attributes.</p><p> In FIG. 20, a simpler block diagram showing an exemplary search mechanism 800 that can be used according to the present invention is illustrated. In FIG. 21, a flow diagram is provided to illustrate the exemplary process of the query structure used within the preferred search mechanism shown in FIG. Finally, in FIG. 22, a more detailed block diagram of the search mechanism 800 is provided for illustrative purposes.</p><p> With reference to FIGS. 20-22, the user 12 can use the search mechanism 800 to specify the target of the query (for example, the user 12 is a person, a document, a group, a project, an organization, a TV show, a video). , Picture, audio and / or any multimedia file, other attributes, files or entities can be searched for), then it turns out that the result can be matched with the ID of the same range of items.</p><p> According to the search mechanism 800, the search engine 802 is used to select aspects of the individual, group, project or company ID associated with the requested search. The user 12 can then select from a designated list of special attributes and the like, and then specify the resulting type of request (eg, file type, etc.). This process allows an ongoing refined search. This ongoing refinement search begins by matching attributes with defined people, groups, entities, documents or files, and so on. As an example, if a project manager wishes to organize a shelter for project participants, the project manager would (i) refer to all personal IDs (identifier 40) and project focus within it. You can enter the project ID (identifier 40b), (ii) you can select what you are looking for (eg "shelter"), and (iii) add the special attributes "destination" and "type of activity" And / or add any additional keywords to further refine your search.</p><p> As another example, user 12 may wish to search for and invest in organizations with good sustainability performance. User 12 is familiar with the project and its certification process, so if a company passes the certification request, the company is given the symbol that applies to the certification and its ID. User 12 may enter the project sustainability symbol into the search query field (as indicated by arrow m in FIG. 20, block 850 for the preferred query structure process shown in FIG. 21). You can add a match for "organization", an "Australia" region for peculiarities, and / or other keywords as needed. The results of this search provide a list of companies that have been certified as sustainable. In addition to providing a "list" of search results, the search mechanism 800 may also provide a visual display. This visual display can be used as a resource for User 12 to determine all companies with such certifications, and at a glance the user can see further specificity and / or search details according to other keyword items. It is possible to check with.</p><p> Using the latter search option in the case of the search mechanism 800 integrated into the existing organization or corporate internal structure (see Figure 23 showing the block diagram above), the multifaceted graphical capabilities of the user 12's references. This allows for a more complete and accurate comparison of tissues. User 12 can also dig deeper into the organization by pressing the "3D Enhanced View" button 566 (see Figure 13c). This "3D Enhanced View" button 566 provides reference material that User 12 may be interested in making highly informed and / or well-informed selections about the company.</p><p> Seeing FIG. 20 again, it can be seen that the search is triggered when user 12 requests a search from the appropriate interface, as indicated by the arrow m. This can be done via a comprehensive search interface (eg, a web browser from or through an application-specific search interface integrated into the application). To issue a search request to the search mechanism 800, user 12 must directly or indirectly specify multiple aspects of the query.</p><p> Various aspects of the query that can be specified to utilize the search mechanism 800 are shown in the query structure flowchart 840 of FIG. These aspects are: (a) Query Target (Block 850)-This is the type of target (s) that User 12 is searching for, for example, User 12 is other people, documents, multimedia targets and / or. , Organizational units can be searched. The query structure interface 804 of the search mechanism 800 (see FIG. 22) is an interface that makes it possible to identify these target targets. (b) Selection of Basic Object (Block 852)-The basic object is the object used as the basis of the search, in other words, it is a search to determine the association and / or related object that contains the search results. Matching with the target in the data store 806 of Mechanism 800 This is the target whose attributes are used as the comparison target. An evaluation algorithm (see item 808 in Figure 22) is used to determine the extent to which each saved target matches the various attributes of the basic target, and whether or not the target is included in the search results. You can generate a rating and / or a position (or rank) of interest in the search results that will be used to determine. (c) Restrictions on targeted attributes can be specified as needed (block 854). Any specific restrictions on the target target may also be provided to allow the search engine 802 to search for the appropriate target. For example, if a person's target is designated as a target, the attributes of that person's target (eg, age) can be further limited to a series of values (eg, age 30-40 years). These additional restrictions can be applied using the AND or OR operation and using the ANY or ALL request for the restrictions so that User 12 or the system issuing the restrictions can search. The range can be expanded or contracted. (d) Finally, any additional keywords available in the search can be included in the generated query (block 856). It can be applied with the request of ALL, which allows the user 12 or the system issuing the limitation to expand or contract the search scope. (d) Finally, any additional keywords available in the search can be included in the generated query (block 856). It can be applied with the request of ALL, which allows the user 12 or the system issuing the limitation to expand or contract the search scope. (d) Finally, any additional keywords available in the search can be included in the generated query (block 856).</p><p> The constructed query (block 858) can then be submitted to search engine 802. The search engine 802 performs the search and displays the search results as indicated by the arrow n in FIG.</p><p> The search results are returned for display to the query initiator or user (see items 12 and 14 in Figure 22 here). The display mechanism can be independent of the search mechanism 800 and can be manipulated by a text-based list, a system or application-specific dataset that can be used by a visual search result display system as described below, in a machine-readable format. It can be a set of objects.</p><p> Integration with the visual search component is either entered directly through the visual search interface or by action by user 12 within the visual search interface (eg, by clicking on a symbol and digging into a specific category). It can be done through the submission of a query through the data provided. The results from the search mechanism 800 are provided to the mechanism as data set in a format suitable for the visual search display mechanism 810 (FIG. 23) to render the results for the user 12. To that end, the visual display mechanism 810 is in a more suitable format for visual rendering the provided results as described above with reference to other embodiments herein. Need to be converted to.</p><p> Thus, these examples show that the system 10 of the present invention provides the user 12 with new and highly personalized means of communication through the use of any suitable communication device or application 14.</p><p> Although not discussed in any of the specific examples provided above, any one or more of the data constructs shown in FIG. 11 or 12 may be used for mood & ID profile or language generation in accordance with the present invention. It is understood that it can be used for. Examples of these additional data constructs include, but are not limited to, texture, temperature, odor, and / or motion. The only constraint on the use of such data constructs may be the ability of the particular communication device 14 used by user 12 of system 10.</p><p> Aspects of the present invention develop around the generation of languages for telephony or internet-based interactions that acquire a wide range of sensory expressions. In addition to language generation and utilization, aspects of the invention introduce the ability to generate and store data in a profile construct called "Mood & ID Profiles and Languages" (Item 1) in FIG. .. It is an individual's 12 identities and / or moods (eg, elements of: text (1a), voice (which consists of voice sample (2a) and music (2b) subelements), design ( It consists of an image (3a), a color palette (3b) and a font (3c)), a tactile element (ie, data for generating tactile feedback through, for example, texture (4a) and temperature (4b)), Includes elements that reflect and communicate odor (5) and / or movement (6) (but not limited to these).</p><p> The mood & ID language may be pre-defined prior to use (by system 10) or, in all cases, the ability to store selected language elements makes it a real-time construct during interaction between users 12 It may be transformed into.</p><p> Prior art has been tested on both web computing environments and mobile devices in the areas of rudimentary communication and presentation of user status through emotional icons and basic texts (eg Yahoo instant messaging, Skype, etc.). In addition, there are a range of communication media (eg, MMS, email, web-based social networking services, etc.) that allow the transmission of a wide range of media (eg, voice, text and images). However, these forms of prior art communication are static in nature, unstructured, and rely on items from different sources that are not easily exchanged or integrated (ie, common). Unable to develop language (ie all items remain fragmented).</p><p> The present invention substantially extends the ability to effectively communicate the full range of expressions, emotions and states between individuals and / or groups. This allows for full integration of language elements and the generation of structured and reusable languages between individuals or groups.</p><p> More specifically, in the case of the system 10 of the present invention, the text is in the mood of the individual 12 (which is entered by the individual via the user interface (from project website 1 or communication device (14))). It can be a string of characters to reflect.</p><p> The voice (ie, item 2a in FIG. 11) can be a specific standard length digitized voice grab and a coding scheme generated and selected by the individual 12 to be included in the mood profile. The music (item 2b) element can be a specified length of digitized music information and a coding scheme. This coding scheme is in the middle of communication when browsing (eg, when contacting the information of identifier 40 (page 46 of FIG. 4a), when contacting the individual 12 (ie, this can be a ringtone, etc.). , Or at the end of communication with the individual 12. The music (2b) element can be combined at the time of reproduction with the audio element (2a) and the like.</p><p> The image element (3a) can be a digitized graphical image generated or selected by the individual 12. That is, the image element (3a) can be, for example, a photo, video, drawn image, or animation with a defined size and color density to be included in the mood profile. Similarly, the color palette element (3b) can also be selected by the individual 12 to be included in the mood profile of the individual 12 and the like. Similarly, the font element (3c) can be used to represent a group of fonts when presenting a mood & ID profile or the like.</p><p> Texture (4a) and temperature (4b) elements (or data) can be stored in the profile and can be applied if the communicating device 14 involved has the ability to provide haptic feedback based on this data. The range and types of texture and temperature data are standardized to allow for a finite variety of choices. Such items may be derived from image (3a), music (2b) or audio (2a) generated or selected by user 12. For example, the shape drawn by user 12 can be converted into tactile data so that it can be felt through a surface tactile sensation, feedback glove or similar device.</p><p> The odor (5) element may represent the data used by the device 14 capable of converting the selection data into a specific scent emission. Choices can be standardized to a finite variety of choices (eg, "sweet", "citrus" and / or "smoky").</p><p> Finally, motion (6) information can be used to record dynamic information related to motion in the space of device 14, and to coordinate dynamic animations or other mood & ID elements. An example of a recorded exercise is a capture of a user 12 frustratingly swinging his or her phone 14.</p><p> An example of the use of the various data constructs or elements shown in Figure 11 could be: That is, "Susan" has the following profile (text = "Today was a good day", voice: voice is the song of a bird, voice: music is part of "spring" from the four seasons of Vivaldi, Design: The image is a picture of Sue smiling in the sun, Color Palette: A set of green and yellow is used for background graphics and text colors, Tactile: Texture is "smooth" , Tactile: Temperature is "warm", Smell = Watermelon, Motion = Motion transducer is slowly swung left and right by 3 cm repeatedly, with green text "Today is a good day" on a wavy yellow background Scroll from right to left).</p><p> Individual 12 has at least one mood & ID language profile. This personal mood & ID (item 8 in Figure 11) consists of a specific selection of profile element (1). Individuals can build a library of profiles over time. These profiles can be selected through shorthand codes (ie, p1 is profile 1- "happy", p2 is profile 2- "nervous", etc.).</p><p> Individual 12 can be associated with one or more groups. Each group has a pre-defined profile available (Group Mood & ID (Item 7 in Figure 11)). Individual 12 takes any or all of the data elements from group (7) through his personal profile (ie, hosted by network server 16) or communication device 14 (ie, hosted by network server 16). Can be transferred to 8) (as indicated by the arrow s in Figure 11).</p><p> As mentioned above, in the case of home or building automation, mood & ID language data can be used to control environmental factors within the home or building (eg, lighting, temperature, odor, music and images).</p><p> All data elements of a given type are interchangeable between all specific mood & ID profiles. That is, the texture data (4a) from the profile "x" for the individual "x" may be copied into the central library for reuse by other individuals or groups, or the individual "y". May be forwarded to profile "y" for.</p><p> All data is stored in a repository (such as database 20). This repository can be a central or distributed database containing mood & ID profiles and data elements.</p><p> As shown in FIG. 12, the data element uses visual feedback, eg, by dragging and dropping the element into profile (8a) on communication device 14 (as indicated by arrow b), profile (8a). Individual 12 can input data inside. On this visual feedback, the elements are populated and not via a list, grid or circular layout. When drag-and-drop occurs, a conformance check is performed to confirm, for example, that the "image" data goes to the "image" slot (3a). This can be achieved by standard techniques (eg, tracking MIME types or file headers or extensions).</p><p> In background techniques, file conversions are performed where relevant (eg, conversion of images to correct resolution, color density and / or file format). Individual 12 then names and saves the completed profile. This profile can be centrally stored in the Mood & ID Profile Repository (8).</p><p> The same or similar process can obviously be used to populate data such as group ID information.</p><p> As already discussed, the personal mood & ID profile (8) is stored in the repository (ie database 20) according to system 10. When the mood of person A changes, the items in person A's profile (8) are changed by person A through the interaction between project website 1 and communication device 14. These interactions can take place via the IETF standardized web or IP-based communication technology.</p><p> The network server 16 of the system 10 coordinates the interaction between the devices 14 for communicating or transferring mood & ID language data. To give an example of this, a new networking service or any modified version of a typical web social network service, or modified to include the ability to handle any or all elements of mood & ID language data during transactions between users 12. There are network gaming services (eg Gamespy) that support PC, mobile, handheld gaming devices or consoles.</p><p> Person B interacting with Person A via another communication device 16, etc. (via any or all of the following, based on device support), obtains the results of Person A's profile (8). View on own device 14. Person B can see the themed text, image (3a), using the colors in the color palette (3b). Person B can hear voice (2a) and music (2b) as he scrolls through the list with the cursor. Person B can experience tactile feedback based on texture (4a) and temperature (4b) data in the profile.</p><p> To give an example of the activities that Person B can perform, browsing his favorite contact list on his device 14, for example, communicating with Person A via voice calls, video calls, text messages, emails, chats, etc. Start, receive communication from person A (voice call, video call, text message, email, chat), people A and B own communication device 16 and / or project website 1 provided by system 10 etc. Continue to experience mood & ID profile changes during communication interactions facilitated by ongoing concurrent sessions between. In addition to the above / or language elements can be modified / added during interaction. For example, additional audio may be added to the audio or music element (but not limited to).</p><p> Person A or B can be an individual 12 who can represent an organization or media / production network. Interactions can be stored or utilized, such as on a real-time or on-demand broadcast basis.</p><p> Network 2 may include an enhanced existing server (18a in Figure 2). This enhanced presence server is adapted to accept presence profile data elements along with the mood & ID profile data construct (1 in Figure 11) using web or IP technology as shown.</p><p> Industry standard methods can be used between presence servers (18a) and mobile communication devices (14) and / or network servers (16) to communicate presence status updates. The interface between them is a standard existing communication approach (eg, 3GPP TS 23 141 (Technical Specification) existing services, architectural and functional details, stage 2 or IP multimedia (IM) core network (CN) subsystem. Based on 3GPP TS 24.141 (Technical Specification) Existence Service, using Stage 3.</p><p> On the mobile communication device 14, the enhanced presence server (18a) directly (eg, directly to the updated contact list view on the device 14) or through the network server 16 (eg, client or browser-based). Communication interaction), mood & ID profile can be updated.</p><p> Standard mobile communication devices and networked computers now have parallel interactions (ie, 3GPP dual transfer modes, simultaneous PDP contexts or SIP (session initiation protocol) sessions) over a range of standard technologies. Data sessions and voice calls) can be maintained. As such, both forms of devices can now support concurrent applications (eg, as specified in the MIDP 3.0 standard for mobile devices). As such, both capabilities support the proper transfer of mood ID information before, during, or after a communication interaction.</p><p> The group mood & ID profile data (item 7 in FIG. 11) is a complex library of member mood & ID data that conforms to the mood & ID data construct shown in item (1). As already discussed, each group has a facilitator who has the right to add, delete and edit each group mood & ID profile data (7). The individual 12 is in the group mood & ID profile (as in the case of the individual) due to the additional ability of the group to see the element during the interaction of the individual 12, select from the elements, and thereby build the group language. Can contribute to the new mood & ID language element of. If a group member wishes to modify the data element, the data element may be presented, for example, on the member's communication device 12 with a list of existing language elements. Group members are also associated with each data element, such as the name and value of the data element, the individual who created the element (12), the date the data element was created, or the number of times the data element was used. It can be searched or sorted based on the metadata obtained.</p><p> Group members can vote on changes to the language element, and the results can be saved with the language element in the network server 16 repository (database 20).</p><p> The group mood & ID profile data (7) may also include an "average" mood, which is a representation of the group, using the average value of all the individual profiles that make up the group. The rules for deriving this average can be chosen by the facilitators of the group, for example, the instantaneous mood (ie, the average snapshot of all moods at a given moment), the average mood (ie, the average mood). , An average based on the use of linguistic data elements between groups over a given time interval (eg, day, month, week, or year), or an average or instantaneous mood of subgroups of a group (but these) Is not limited to).</p><p> Group data is explicitly protected by standard security methods to prevent unauthorized access or editing of such data. Similarly, group data can be exposed by implementing secure standard APIs to allow authorized access of data through third-party applications for consumer or business work team use.</p><p> Group and personal data are not mutually exclusive. That is, individual interaction between group members also enables a comprehensive range of mood & ID data for both individual members and group member qualifications.</p><p> In the context of the various visual search and information visualization (ie, organization / network mapping, information, and / or ID display) aspects of the invention, the information or ID is further categorized as needed to display the display. Scalability is possible through the ability of users 12 to be visually manageable and user-friendly. This is clearly demonstrated with reference to the segregation or transition function of the enterprise-based organizational visual representation shown in FIGS. 13a-15b.</p><p> In addition to visual attributes, other sensory languages may be used. In that case, the addition and selection of other sensory languages is determined by the ability of the device 14 to provide the display, based on the content function.</p><p> According to the present invention, information display can be used for the following purposes: (i) systematic planning, (ii) comparison to allow concrete selection or route selection for further excavation. As a tool, (iii) visualization of statistics-ie, providing a multifaceted view that reveals various aspects, relevance and duplication, and / or (iv) all information and IDs are identification languages. The source or source of an item (person, group, document, etc.) within an organization or network is clearly identified at a glance. Unique three-layer visual tools ("Tree View", "Search View" and "3D Enhanced View" shown in Figures 13a-13c) allow the user to touch a button, eg, a person within a network or organization. Or you can go to the place where the document is located / resident and see further context related to the person or document.</p><p> User 12 can scale organizational growth or network growth with the macro / micro features embodied by the present invention. As the organization or network grows, additional levels of categorization and matrices are added by User 12 as needed, so that the visual display (see, eg, Figures 13a-13c) is visual to User 12. Maintained in a manageable state.</p><p> User 12 has multifunctional experience using, for example, a visual search provided within GUI1x of FIGS. 13a-13 and a 2D and 3D integrated browsing mechanism. All information and IDs can be referenced "in the field", so there is no separation. In this way, the user 12 has multi-functional experience and can always recognize the whole picture.</p><p> User 12 may have a unique view of the statistics using the "tree view" 550 (2D or 3D), access to the iconography displayed on the tree that references the major categorizations in the statistics. User 12 also has the ability to dig into further details within the 3D environment by touching the "3D Enhanced View" button 566 on the visual display if further details or postings related to the statistics initially provided are needed. obtain.</p><p> In the context of televisions or similar programming interfaces used in accordance with the present invention (see, eg, FIG. 17), within such a TV or other programming environment, the viewer or user 12 has the satisfaction, multifaceted attributes. You can vote for performance and / or other subjects using a multi-functional voting system that gives value to you. For example, when voting for a performer's performance, instead of receiving 1-10 votes, the viewer or participant may vote for the performance in a variety of ways (eg, musical talent, creativity, personality, freshness). , Style, etc.) can be evaluated. These various attributes can be arranged and used as a visual display according to the unique visual display system embodied in the present invention based on the input of the viewer or the like. As an example, the brilliance feature allows the viewer to see the strength of the vote, but the viewer can see a variety of other elements (eg, colors as described with reference to FIGS. 14a-14e). Tilt, rotation, extrusion, etc.) can also be used to visually see other aspects of the performance that the viewer has watched.</p><p> Within the organizational structure, the organization can use the "extrusion" graphic function to display the organizational members that are essential to the operation of the organization. Therefore, if such organizational members are pushed out from below by the main promoters of each department, these organizational members may be placed below their own department, thereby making these organizational members relevant. It is visually shown to be the promoter of the organization. Organizations can coordinate this feature at multiple levels if they want to visualize the hierarchy. The user can set any of the graphic features for a particular application and use different combinations of such features to optionally decode the visual effects to distinguish further categories, thus organizing the organization. Target mapping options are endless. The range of such possibilities depends on the visualization technique used (eg, 3D animation software offers more choices in terms of distinction, while the more widely used Flash offers this. It provides such a distinction to a more limited extent and has fewer adjustment options.</p><p> Accordingly, according to the present invention, the user 12 can also generate a 3D identifier capable of representing "Boxman" as a tool of expression and a storage device of information (see, for example, FIG. 10a). The minimum representation of user 12's ID (identifier 40) is a (2D) square box. Through the various phases of the transition, the square box can become a 3D animated cube, which unfolds and takes a form similar to "Boxman". Each side of the "Boxman" can have a variety of doors used to identify and store specific information and other files. User 12 uses the "Boxman" by (i) bringing it within the same platform used as a navigation tool and personal reference (including use in interaction) within the site, and (ii) other It can be taken on the platform and used to store the personal information of all users 12 in a 2D or 3D "Boxman" for use and reference. In the latter case, the method of using or enabling this transportable functionality is to mobile and / or other platforms as described above in the language generated herein at the primary site (Project Website 1). It is the same as the transfer of.</p><p> Again, not shown in the drawings, to give examples of other applications suitable for use with IDs and / or languages generated in accordance with the present invention, hotels (the industry is in-room or other than hotels). Can provide guests with physical identity products that can personalize the settings within the area (taking into account user attributes), logistics / transportation industry (this industry is responsible for ordering and / or IDs can be used for delivery purposes, or in the case of public transport systems, the number of people entering the tram / train is read by a physical sensor and this information is used as a visual display in all public transportation facilities. As available, this allows users to see the best route for the day), banking and / or other financial industries (this industry uses electronic and / or physical identity products, for example by users in-house. You can log in and / or customize your online banking web page, etc.), voting system (the industry can use your user ID to generate statistical displays such as voting information), and / Alternatively, a mail delivery system (the industry can use various aspects of the invention for mail quantity and / or tracking purposes, producing output visual displays for individuals or companies, eg consignments. You can see where it is).</p><p> Accordingly, the present invention allows personalized communication between a variety of devices and / or applications 14 via network 2 (preferably the Internet or a suitable telecommunications network), systems 10 and / Or provide methods 100, 200, 300 and 400. According to preferred embodiments, the invention also provides suitable products for use with the systems and / or methods of the invention. These products allow the personalization of many arbitrary forms of communication devices that users may come into contact with on a daily basis.</p><p> Although the present invention has been described in connection with specific embodiments thereof, it is understood that the present invention can be further modified (s). The present invention is intended to cover any modification, use or adaptation of the invention that generally follows, the principles of the invention, and deviations from this disclosure are also known or customary in the art in which the invention relates. It is in practice and can be applied to the essential features described above herein.</p><p> Finally, the invention may be embodied in several embodiments without departing from the intent of the essential properties of the invention, but unless otherwise stated, the embodiments described above do not limit the invention. On the contrary, it should be understood as being broadly construed as being within the intent and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. Various modifications and even arrangements are intended to be included within the intent and scope of the invention and within the appended claims. Therefore, specific embodiments should be understood as exemplifying many modes in which the principles of the invention can be practiced.</p>
