Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide a digital profile system for a user and a method for capturing, storing, and updating information about a user'"'"'s attributes in a personal genome database. The system interacts with a third-party application which provides an assessment tool for execution by the user. The system includes the personal genome database, a server processor which executes computer-readable instructions of an advanced competency model, a unique pass code system, and at least one privacy filter, and a user processor which executes computer-readable instructions of a client manager.

Claims

1. A digital profile system for a user, the system interacting with a third-party application which provides an assessment tool for execution by the user, the system comprising:

a personal genome database which stores a plurality of user attributes, the plurality of user attributes being associated with a private user identifier;

a server processor which executes computer-readable instructions of

an advanced competency model to define and sort the plurality of user attributes to designated slots in the personal genome database,

a unique pass code system to generate a current temporary pass code and link the current temporary pass code to the private user identifier and the plurality of user attributes associated with the private user identifier,

at least one privacy filter to apply data access privileges to the third-party application based on privacy filtering rules controlled by the user; and

a user processor in communication with the server processor, the user processor executing computer-readable instructions of a client manager to receive a request from the third-party application for the current temporary pass code, retrieve and submit the current temporary pass code to the third-party application, receive a request from the third-party application for the plurality of user attributes for adapting the assessment tool specifically for the user, retrieve and submit the plurality of user attributes to the third-party application if allowed by the at least one privacy filter, receive an updated attribute from the third-party application based on the user'"'"'s performance when executing the assessment tool, and submit the updated attribute to the advanced competency model to define and sort the updated attribute to a designated slot in the personal genome.

2. The system of claim 1 and further comprising the server processor executing computer-readable instructions of at least one data filter to modify at least one of the plurality of user attributes to create a plurality of filtered user attributes based on data filtering rules controlled by the user.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of user attributes includes at least one of personal demographics, interests, knowledge, skills competencies, aptitudes, attitudes, and behaviors.

4. The system of claim 1 and further comprising the user processor executing computer-readable instructions of the client manager to provide a user interface for the user to one of view, modify, and delete at least one of the plurality of user attributes and, if the at least one of the plurality of user attributes is modified, submit the user-modified attribute to the advanced competency model to define and sort the user-modified attribute to a designated slot in the personal genome.

5. The system of claim 1 and further comprising the server processor executing computer-readable instructions of at least one chrono-filter to modify at least one of the plurality of user attributes to create a plurality of filtered user attributes based on time-sensitive data filtering rules.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the current temporary pass code is one of an electronic pass code and a visual pass code.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the personal genome database stores the plurality of user attributes in an encrypted form based on user-defined encryption strength settings.

8. A method for capturing, storing, and updating information about a user'"'"'s attributes in a personal genome database in communication with a user computer, the method comprising:

providing a first personalized assessment instrument for execution by the user;

retrieving an outcome of the first personalized assessment instrument executed by the user;

mapping the outcome to at least one attribute of the user;

updating information for the at least one attribute in accordance with the outcome;

storing the information for the at least one attribute in the personal genome database; and

providing the information to an application, when authorized by the user, for creating a second personalized assessment instrument for execution by the user.

9. The method of claim 8 and further comprising providing the information on a user interface of the user computer for the user to one of view, modify, and delete the information.

10. The method of claim 8 and further comprising updating the information for the at least one attribute in accordance with time-sensitive rules.

11. The method of claim 8 and further comprising one of prompting the user for authorization for the application to access the information and retrieving user-defined rules to automatically determine authorization for the application to access the information.

12. The method of claim 8 and further comprising receiving a request from the application for the information, retrieving the information from the personal genome database, and applying filtering rules to the information prior to providing the information to the application.

13. The method of claim 8 and further comprising assessing the personal genome database to determine a second attribute which requires information, providing a third personalized assessment instrument for execution by the user based on the information required, retrieving a outcome of the third personalized assessment instrument executed by the user, mapping the outcome to the second attribute of the user, updating information for the second attribute in accordance with the outcome, and storing the information for the second attribute in the personal genome database.

14. The method of claim 8 and further comprising encrypting the information prior to storing the information for the at least one attribute in the personal genome database, wherein the information is encrypted based on a user-specified encryption strength.

15. The method of claim 8 wherein the step of providing the information to an application, when authorized by the user, for creating a second personalized assessment instrument for execution by the user further includes providing a temporary pass code to the application, wherein the temporary pass code allows the application to temporarily access the personal genome database to retrieve the information.

16. The method of claim 8 and further comprising providing a payment to the user after providing the information to the application.

17. A digital profile system for a user, the system interacting with a third-party application which provides an assessment tool for execution by the user, the system comprising:

a personal genome for storing a plurality of user attributes, the plurality of user attributes being associated with a private user identifier and being modifiable by the user and the third-party application;

an advanced competency model to define and sort the plurality of user attributes to designated slots in the personal genome database;

a unique pass code system to generate a current temporary pass code for the third-party application, the unique pass code system linking the current temporary pass code in a time-sensitive and user-controlled manner to the private user identifier so that the third-party application is capable of accessing the plurality of user attributes associated with the private user identifier to make the assessment tool user-specific; and

at least one filter to aggregate at least one portion of the plurality of user attributes prior to the third-party application'"'"'s access of the plurality of user attributes.

18. The system of claim 17 wherein the advanced competency model receives outcomes from the assessment tool and maps the outcomes to the plurality of user attributes.

19. The system of claim 17 wherein the at least one filter aggregates the one portion of the plurality of user attributes based on category profiles.

20. The system of claim 17 wherein the plurality of user attributes are further modifiable by additional users and an automatic, probabilities-based algorithm executed by a processor.
