Abstract

System and method of constructing entity knowledge base for a user entity creating an electronic marketplace for that entity. Entities can add entity data of one or more direct or indirect entities to their knowledge base. The entity knowledge base created provides a specific marketplace for any primary entity by allowing access to the restricted and unrestricted data associated with entities contained in the knowledge base of that primary entity. The system creates a general marketplace for any primary entity by allowing access to unrestricted data associated with all user entities in the system. Furthermore, each entity will contain confidence levels whereby these modifiable levels will determine the amount of access to data provided to associated entities included in a entity'"'"'s knowledge base. The system will include methods to restrict access to knowledge bases of associated entities based on data contained in a primary-user entity.

Claims

3-1. The method of claim 1 wherein electronic content associated with an entity has restricted access, with respect to a second entity.

10. The method of displaying electronic documents associated with an entity user knowledge base for the said entity, the method including:

retrieve from database, direct and indirect associated entity knowledge

generate a knowledge base for an entity

retrieve electronic contents containing one or more content criteria from database

filter all electronic content retrieved from the database using selected data contained in the entity knowledge base of the said entity

display the result of content filtering through a web interface

11. The method of claim 10 wherein accessible data associated with one or more direct entities are retrieved from a database in order to create a knowledge base for a primary entity

12. The method of claim 10 wherein accessible data associated with one or more indirect entities are retrieved from a database and added to the knowledge base of a primary entity

13. The method of claim 10 wherein electronic contents containing one or more document criteria is retrieved from database

14. The method of claim 10 wherein retrieved electronic contents is filtered for display by the matching of accessible data located in the knowledge base of a primary entity.

15. The method of claim 10 wherein filtered electronic content is displayed through a web user interface.

16. The method of constructing a system for managing direct and indirect associated entities for display of entity related documents and facilitating entity related transactions in respect to a primary entity, the method including:

saving direct and indirect entity data in respect to primary entity data to database

removing direct and indirect entity data in respect to primary entity data from database

selecting a direct or indirect entity to place a block on in respect to a primary entity

selecting a block level for a primary entity and a blocked entity

saving the blocked entity data in respect to a primary entity to database

removing the blocked entity data in respect to a primary entity from database

17. The method of claim 16 where direct entity data and indirect entity data are saved to database. The saved data in respect to a primary entity, will create a connection for the said primary entity which can be retrieved and used at a later time.

18. The method of claim 16 where direct entity data and indirect entity data are removed from database. The removal of data in respect to the said primary entity, will delete the connection for the said entity and cannot be retrieved to be used at a later time.

19. The method of claim 16 where an entity or entities are selected for blocking with respect to a primary entity. Two types of block selection are available, the ability to block a single entity with respect to a primary entity and the ability to block a single entity and all direct and indirect entities of that blocked entity with respect to a primary entity.

20. The method of claim 16 where block data associated with a primary entity and one or more direct and indirect entities are saved to database to be retrieved at a later time.

21. The method of claim 16 where block data associated with a primary entity and one or more direct and indirect entities are removed from database, allowing access between the primary entity and one or more unblocked entities to exist.
