Methods and apparatus for enabling a dynamic network of interactors according to personal trust levels between interactors
First Claim
1. A system for causing routing of a communication event comprising;
- a sending platform for initiating and sending the communication event;
a communications network for carrying the communication event;
a receiving platform for receiving the communication event for final routing; and
a router resident at least in the receiving platform for preparing and executing or forwarding for execution a routing instruction for handling the incoming communication event or notification thereof, the routing instruction thus executed, overriding a default routing instruction, the overriding routing instruction initiated upon discovery by the router of some level of trust metric between the sender and intended recipient of the event.

Abstract
A system for causing routing of a communication event includes a sending platform for initiating and sending the communication event, a communications network for carrying the communication event, a receiving platform for receiving the communication event for final routing, and a router resident at least in the receiving platform for preparing and executing or forwarding for execution a routing instruction for handling the incoming communication event or notification thereof, the routing instruction thus executed, overriding a default routing instruction, the overriding routing instruction initiated upon discovery by the router of some level of trust metric between the sender and intended recipient of the event.

17. A router for preparing and executing or forwarding for execution a routing instruction comprising:
-
a data conversion module for generating metadata from stored data;
a data communication module for sending and receiving metadata generated from stored data;
a data processing module for processing metadata sets, such processing sequence resulting in a positive or a negative determination of a trust relationship; and
, an instruction generation module for generating a routing instruction useable by an associated routing system. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method for routing a communication event or notification thereof based on an implied level of trust using a trust-based router at a receiving platform including steps for;
-
(a) pre-configuring the router to trust at least one contact and at least one user that the contact trusts;
(b) receiving a communication event or notification thereof at the receiving platform;
(c) notifying the router of the received communication event or notification thereof;
(d) launching the router, the router accessing local data and receiving any data attached to the communication event or sent directly thereto from a sending router;
(e) comparing the data sets and discovering some indication of a trust relationship between the sender and receiver of the communications event or notification thereof;
(f) preparing a routing instruction for handling the communications event or notification thereof according to the trust relationship discovered; and
(g) causing execution of the routing instruction according to the trust relationship discovered. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
