Abstract

A method, system and apparatus of generation of contextual information in communication between parties are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of a communication system includes expressing an interaction between a particular user and user in a shared page such that the shared page includes documents, events, and/or communications relevant in communications between the particular user and the at least one other user and generating the shared page such that the interaction relevant to a communication between the particular user and the at least one user are manifested across a plurality of persona profiles in activities, events, and/or communications associated with in the shared page. In addition, the method may include embedding any groups and/or users common to the particular user and the user through an nth-degree separation in the shared page, and displaying a relationship simultaneously in the shared page.

Claims

1. A method of a communication system, comprising:

expressing an interaction between a particular user and at least one user in a shared page such that the shared page includes at least one of documents, events, and communications relevant in communications between the particular user and the at least one other user; and

generating the shared page such that the interaction relevant to a communication between the particular user and the at least one user are manifested across a plurality of persona profiles in at least one of activities, events, and communications associated with in the shared page.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising embedding any groups and users common to the particular user and the at least one user through an nth-degree separation in the shared page, and displaying a relationship simultaneously in the shared page.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising customizing the shared page based on a relationship modality of the particular user with other users based on a specialized facet, determined based on a behavior and association of the particular user including a family facet having a family relationship constructor, a work facet having an organization chart constructor, and a social facet having an activity classifier to enable the particular user to manifest specialized facets in context of a particular scenario of communications.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising generating a set of private notes of the particular user about the at least one user in a relationships annotation module associated and linked with the shared page.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising organizing a preferred ranking of specific documents, events, and communications relevant in communications between the particular user and at least one other user, based on at least one of a behavior of the particular user and a feedback rating provided of the particular user by other parties.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising generating a digest of relevant sections of the specific communications such that the relevant sections capture a critical message of communication between the particular user and at least one other user including at least one of a subject-line less message and a last paragraph text.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising determining a segmentible calendar in the shared page that illustrates visually interaction solely between the particular user and combination of at least one user and non-users.

8. The method of claim 1 in which the shared page is filterable based on a temporal criteria specified by the particular user across a plurality of granularities, time zones, and daily routines.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising alternating between the shared page and other shared pages while maintaining a relationship between the particular user and at least one other user which is independent of any one of the persona profiles currently utilized.

10. The method of claim 1 further comprising shuffling a priority order in the shared page based on feedback ratings, calculated through intelligence gathered from personal representation of the particular user to other users, perception of the other users, behavior analysis of the particular user and linked other users through a relationship behavior compounding algorithm, and collective contact rating of peers.

11. The method of claim 10 further comprising enabling facets through the feedback ratings that are created through implicit and explicit techniques based on at least one of trust, affinity, and propensity of interaction and in which multiple facets coexist in each persona profile and which develop a set of rankings of the particular user with the other users through each of the facets.

12. The method of claim 1 further comprising generating a life map in the shared page of the particular user and at least one other user in which differing activities and behaviors of the particular user are simultaneously expressed in the shared page.

13. The method of claim 12 further comprising organizing the life map around at least one common marker selected between at least one of people communications, events, groups, places, messages, money, and content including music, books, and news feeds.

14. The method of claim 13 further comprising expressing a faceted and fragmented identity of the particular user through each of the persona profiles in which a context is provided to each social interaction of the particular user with the at least one other user.

15. A communications system comprising:

a network;

a plurality of content modules each having an embedded communication module to manage relationships between a user and other users of each of the plurality of content modules; and

a shared context module in a management module to communicate through the network with the plurality of content modules and to generate a shared page having captured interaction in each of the content modules between a particular user and at least one other user based on a behavior of the particular user associated with each of the plurality of content modules with the at least one other user through an analysis of self expressed and peer expressed feedback.

16. The communications system of claim 15 further comprising a feedback module of the management module to analyze intelligence gathered from personal representation of the particular user to other users, perception of the other users, behavior analysis of the user and linked other users through a relationship behavior compounding algorithm, and collective contact rating of peers to determine an order of display of a unitary user profile in the management module of each of groups in the embedded communication module.

17. The communications system of claim 15 further comprising a vault module in which an invisible communication group is viewable simultaneously with a confidential communication group and a public communication group through a multi-layer authentication technique enabled through the management module.

18. A method of a content module, comprising:

enabling expression of a persona of a user in the content module;

associating with the persona specific contacts and groups associated with user'"'"'s behaviors, activities, and preferences in the content module; and

generating a shared page between the user and at least one other user across different ones of the persona with a management module that generates relationships of the user across a plurality of the content module through the shared page in which each relationship is independent of the persona currently being expressed and which is common across past, current, and future content modules.

19. The method of claim 18 further comprising providing a feedback rating through intelligence gathered from personal representation of the user to other users, perception of the other users, behavior analysis of the user and linked other users through a relationship behavior compounding algorithm, and collective contact rating of peers.

20. The method claim 18 in a form of a machine-readable medium embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform the method of claim 18.
