Abstract

A system for sharing collective information is provided. The system includes a profile component that receives information regarding a user'"'"'s profile. A detection component determines profiles of other users related to the user'"'"'s profile and a content component relays data associated with the other users in view of the user'"'"'s profile.

Claims

1. A system for sharing collective information, comprising:

a profile component that receives information regarding a user'"'"'s profile;

a detection component to determine profiles of other users related to the user'"'"'s profile; and

a content component to relay data associated with the other users in view of the user'"'"'s profile.

2. The system of claim 1, the profile component captures a state and preferences associated with the user.

3. The system of claim 2, the profile component includes interruption component, a recreational component, an artistic component, a security component, a time component, a calendar component, a geographical component, a trend component, or a general settings component.

4. The system of claim 1, the detection component includes an analyzer to compare profiles between a user and one or more other users and in order to further determine members of a group.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising one or more links components to facilitate exchange of information form a data item to one or more users.

6. The system of claim 5, the links components are associated with a web address, an audio file, a video file, or a text file.

7. The system of claim 1, the links components are updated by one or more users that encounter the links components.

8. The system of claim 1, further comprising an interface to facilitate inviting users to rank or evaluate a situation and provide other user'"'"'s opinion of the situation.

9. The system of claim 8, the situation is associated with a live event or a game.

10. The system of claim 1, further comprising an interface to share data collections among members where the collections include at least one ranking of at least one member.

11. The system of claim 1, further comprising an adaptive profile where data that users come in contact is automatically updated regarding associated preferences and context.

12. The system of claim 1, further comprising one or more player attention models that are dynamically determined from present and past experiences and employed to dynamically adjust present user experiences.

13. The system of claim 1, further comprising an interface to provide a public announcement forum where a user can make an announcement that is shared with a group identified by a profile.

14. The system of claim 1, further comprising one or more group models that are trained from collective and personal data stores.

15. The system of claim 1, further comprising one or more group media channels that are based in part on group associations and content.

16. The system of claim 15, the group media channels are associated with a family association.

17. A method to facilitate dynamic data exchanges between users, comprising:

analyzing a user or a group profile;

detecting at least one other profile in addition to the user or group profile; and

comparing the user or the group file profile to the other profile to determine a dynamic relationship between users or groups.

18. The method of claim 17, further comprising generating at least one interface to facilitate communications between the users.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising generating at least one data collection to share information between the users.

20. A user based information system to exchange data, comprising:

means for identifying a user'"'"'s preferences and state; and

means for analyzing the profile in view of other detected profiles to facilitate dynamic data exchange between users.
