Abstract

A system and method of electronic interpersonal communication includes receiving a selection of a recipient for communication. A user profile for the selected recipient is accessed. The user profile includes a plurality of communication traits of the selected recipient. A graphical display presents at least one communication trait of the selected recipient from the user profile. An electronic communication to the selected recipient is received. The electronic communication is sent to the selected recipient.

Claims

1. A method of electronic interpersonal communication, the method comprising:

receiving a selection of a recipient for communication;

accessing a user profile for the selected recipient, the user profile comprising a plurality of communication traits of the selected recipient;

presenting on a graphical display at least one communication trait of the selected recipient from the user profile;

receiving an electronic communication to the selected recipient based upon the presented at east one communication trait; and

sending the electronic communication to the selected recipient.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing an electronic communication interface that presents the at least one communication trait and receives the electronic communication to the selected recipient based upon the presented at least one communication trait.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of communication traits comprise at least one support term, at least one expectation, and at least one rule of engagement, and at least one support term, at least one expectation, and at least one rule of engagement is presented on the graphical display.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the at least one support term comprises a word or phrase selected by the recipient as being a motivational word or phrase.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the at least one expectation comprises a word or phrase selected by the recipient as expressing how the recipient wants to collaborate.

6. The method of claim 3, wherein the at least one rule of engagement comprises an instruction selected by the recipient defining how to convey messages to the recipient.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising enrolling a user by:

receiving an identification of user motivations;

identifying a motivation group from the identified user motivations;

receiving at least one rule of engagement from the user based upon the identified motivation group;

receiving at least one user support term;

receiving at least one user expectation based upon the received at least one user support term; and

creating a user profile wherein the plurality of communication traits includes at least one support term, at least one expectation, and at least one rule of engagement.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein:

the at least one support term comprises a word or phrase selected by the recipient as being a motivational word or phrase;

the at least one expectation comprises a word or phrase selected by the recipient as expressing how the recipient wants to collaborate; and

the at least one rule of engagement comprises an instruction selected by the recipient defining how to convey messages to the recipient

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

sorting a plurality of user profiles by communication trait;

receiving a group of recipients based upon a common communication trait;

wherein the received electronic communication is to the selected group of recipients and the received electronic communication is based upon the common communication trait.

10. The method of claim 9 further comprising:

identifying a motivation group; and

selecting recipients by motivation group.

11. A system for electronic interpersonal communication, the system comprising:

a sender workstation;

a communication network communicatively connecting the sender workstation to a receiver workstation;

a storage medium storing a plurality of user profiles, each user profile comprising a plurality of communication traits;

a microprocessor operating computer readable code, such that the microprocessor causes the sender workstation to receive a selection of a recipient, receive an identification of the selected recipient, and access a user profile of the selected recipient on the storage medium; and

a graphical display that presents the user profile of the selected recipient, including the plurality of communication traits, and provides an electronic communication interface;

wherein the electronic communication interface receives an electronic communication to the selected recipient, the electronic communication based upon the plurality of communication traits and the electronic communication is provided from the sender workstation to the receiver workstation across the communication network.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the sender workstation comprises the microprocessor and the graphical display.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the plurality of communication traits further comprise support terms, expectations, and rules of engagement provided by a user to the user profile.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein:

the at least one support term comprises a word or phrase selected by the recipient as being a motivational word or phrase;

the at least one expectation comprises a word or phrase selected by the recipient as expressing how the recipient wants to collaborate; and

the at least one rule of engagement comprises an instruction selected by the recipient defining how to convey messages to the recipient.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the user profiles are organized in a database stored on the storage medium and the microprocessor is operable to sort the user profiles based upon one or more communication traits, and select a recipient group from the user profiles based upon the one or more communication traits and the system sends the electronic communication to the users of the recipient group.

16. A method of electronic interpersonal communication, the method comprising:

providing a plurality of user profiles, wherein each user profile of the plurality is created by;

receiving an identification of a plurality of motivations of a user;

identifying a motivation group from the identified plurality of motivations;

receiving at least one rule of engagement from the user based upon the identified motivation group;

receiving at least one user support term from the user based upon the identified plurality of motivations;

receiving at least one user expectation based upon the received at least one user support term; and

creating the user profile comprising at least the rule of engagement, at least one user support term, and at least one user expectation;

receiving a selection of a recipient for communication from the plurality of user profiles;

accessing a user profile for the selected recipient;

presenting on a graphical display the at least one rule of engagement, at least one user support term, and at least one user expectation of the selected recipient from the user profile;

receiving an electronic communication to the selected recipient based upon the presented at least one at least one rule of engagement, user support term, and expectation; and

sending the electronic communication to the selected recipient.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

sorting a plurality of user profiles by communication trait;

receiving a group of recipients based upon a common communication trait;

wherein the received electronic communication is to the selected group of recipients and the received electronic communication is based upon the common communication trait.

18. The method of claim 17 wherein:

the at least one support term comprises a word or phrase selected by the recipient as being a motivational word or phrase;

the at least one expectation comprises a word or phrase selected by the recipient as expressing how the recipient wants to collaborate; and

the at least one rule of engagement comprises an instruction selected by the recipient defining how to convey messages to the recipient.

19. The method of claim 17 base message modified into multiple messages tailored to groups of the user profiles based upon common communication traits.

20. The method of claim 17 wherein user profiles grouped based upon motivation groups.
