Abstract

Systems and associated methods are disclosed for establishing a new paradigm for a dynamically constructed Web site. The methods are directed to distributing individualized benefits and Web content as dynamically defined by a fluid matrix of variable connections between its elements. The variable connections are identified and established based upon individual multi-variant interests of the members of the collective system. The variable connections within the matrix are variable at will by each of the respective individual members, or the collective on its own, as are the multi-variant interests of each of the individual members. This fluidity enables the systems of the present invention to define and redefine themselves by virtue of their participatory members interests.

Claims

1. A variable matrix, combined purchasing power, actively interconnected, member collective system comprising:

a plurality of individual members, each of said members having at least one, multi-variant interest;

a matrix of variable connections between respective ones of said plurality of individual members and defining at least one lesser plurality of individual members within said plurality of individual members, each of said variable connections based upon respective ones of said at least one, multi-variant interest; and

at least one communicating linkage from said combined purchasing power, actively interconnected, member collective system to a provider of benefits.

2. The variable matrix, combined purchasing power, actively interconnected, member collective system of claim 1, wherein said at least one communicating linkage comprises an Internet connection.

3. The variable matrix, combined purchasing power, actively interconnected, member collective system of claim 1, wherein said at least one communicating link is a first communicating link;

and further comprising;

a second communicating linkage between at least one of said plurality of said individual members and said combined purchasing power, actively interconnected, member collective system.

4. The variable matrix, combined purchasing power, actively interconnected, member collective system of claim 3, wherein said first communication linkage and said second communication linkage each comprise an Internet connection.

5. The variable matrix, combined purchasing power, actively interconnected, member collective system of claim 1, wherein said multi-variant interest is related to a benefit available for purchase by said individual members.

6. The variable matrix, combined purchasing power, actively interconnected, member collective system of claim 5, wherein said benefit comprises a discount on purchasing.

7. The variable matrix, combined purchasing power, actively interconnected, member collective system of claim 5, wherein said benefit comprises a credit applicable toward purchase.

8. A method for distributing benefits according to grouped member matrices of a combined purchasing power collective system, said method comprising the steps of:

providing an actively interconnected member collective system of a plurality of individual members, each of said members having at least one multi-variant interest;

defining at least one lesser plurality of individual members having at least one common multi-variant interest within said plurality of individual members;

forming a matrix of variable connections between respective members of said at least one lesser plurality of individual members;

utilizing the combined purchasing power of said actively interconnected collective system to leverage at least one benefit from a provider; and

distributing said at least one benefit throughout said actively interconnected collective system to individual members of said at least one lesser plurality of individual members based upon said at least one common multi-variant interest.

9. The method for distributing benefits according to grouped member matrices of a combined purchasing power collective system of claim 8, further comprising receiving a response from said individual members to said distributing of said benefit.

10. The method for distributing benefits according to grouped member matrices of a combined purchasing power collective system of claim 9, wherein said multi-variant interest is identified through a tracking process wherein said response from said individual member is associated with said multi-variant interest.

11. The method for distributing benefits according to grouped member matrices of a combined purchasing power collective system of claim 9, wherein said multi-variant interest is defined and associated with said individual member through a tracking process wherein said response from said individual member is recorded and used to define said multi-variant interest.

12. The method for distributing benefits according to grouped member matrices of a combined purchasing power collective system of claim 10, wherein said multi-variant interest is associated with a product or service available for purchase by said individual members.

13. The method for distributing benefits according to grouped member matrices of a combined purchasing power collective system of claim 12, wherein:

said benefit is associated with said product or service; and

said distributing of said benefit occurs through an Internet connection.

14. The method for distributing benefits according to grouped member matrices of a combined purchasing power collective system of claim 13, wherein said benefit comprises a discount on purchasing.

15. The method for distributing benefits according to grouped member matrices of a combined purchasing power collective system of claim 13, wherein said benefit comprises a credit applicable toward purchase.

16. The method for distributing benefits according to grouped member matrices of a combined purchasing power collective system of claim 13, wherein said distributing of said benefit comprises assembling a customized Web site for said individual member according to said multi-variant interest.
