Abstract

Systems and methods for managing individuals are provided. A method includes recording interactions of a user with one or more computer-implemented applications and calculating parameter values for the user for a plurality of user attributes based on the interactions. The method can further include determining whether at least a portion of the parameter values are missing or conflicting and in response to determining wherein at least a portion of the parameter values are missing or conflicting, prompting the user to interact with at least one additional computer-implemented application that is associated with the portion of the parameter values. After the prompting, the method can include repeating the recording and the calculating to update the parameter values.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method of detecting attributes of individuals, comprising:

recording interactions of a user with one or more computer-implemented applications;

calculating parameter values for the user for a plurality of user attributes based on the interactions.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the calculating comprises:

assembling a plurality of equations corresponding to the computer-implemented applications, each of the plurality of equations defining a relationship between an output of one of the computer-implemented applications and at least one of the parameter values; and

solving the set of equations to compute the parameter values.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining whether at least a portion of the parameter values are missing or conflicting; and

in response to determining wherein at least a portion of the parameter values are missing or conflicting, prompting the user to interact with at least one additional computer-implemented application that is associated with the portion of the parameter values; and

after the prompting, repeating the recording and the calculating to update the parameter values.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the prompting further comprises:

selecting at least one other computer-implemented application from a plurality of available computer implemented applications, the at least one other computer-implemented application configured to provide an output that can be translated into a new parameter value for each of the portion of the parameter values.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

identifying an current episodic social network (ESN) for the user and a target ESN for the user;

selecting a path of ESNs between the current ESN and the target ESN based on the plurality of user attributes.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the selecting of the path comprises:

obtaining a default path of ESNs between the current ESN and the target ESN; and

altering the default path based on the plurality of user attributes, the altering comprising at least one of adding an additional ESN, removing an ESN, or selecting to traverse between ESNs in a different order than in the default path.

7. A system, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a computer readable medium having stored thereof a plurality of code sections for causing the processor to perform the method comprising;

recording interactions of a user with one or more computer-implemented applications;

calculating parameter values for the user for a plurality of user attributes based on the interactions.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the calculating comprises:

assembling a plurality of equations corresponding to the computer-implemented applications, each of the plurality of equations defining a relationship between an output of one of the computer-implemented applications and at least one of the parameter values; and

solving the set of equations to compute the parameter values.

9. The system of claim 7, further comprising additional code sections for causing the processor to perform the steps comprising:

determining whether at least a portion of the parameter values are missing or conflicting; and

in response to determining wherein at least a portion of the parameter values are missing or conflicting, prompting the user to interact with at least one additional computer-implemented application that is associated with the portion of the parameter values; and

after the prompting, repeating the recording and the calculating to update the parameter values.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the prompting further comprises:

selecting at least one other computer-implemented application from a plurality of available computer implemented applications, the at least one other computer-implemented application configured to provide an output that can be translated into a new parameter value for each of the portion of the parameter values.

11. The system of claim 7, further comprising additional code sections for causing the processor to perform the steps comprising:

identifying an current episodic social network (ESN) for the user and a target ESN for the user;

selecting a path of ESNs between the current ESN and the target ESN based on the plurality of user attributes.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the selecting of the path comprises:

obtaining a default path of ESNs between the current ESN and the target ESN; and

altering the default path based on the plurality of user attributes, the altering comprising at least one of adding an additional ESN, removing an ESN, or selecting to traverse between ESNs in a different order than in the default path.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a computer program executable on a computer, the computer program comprising a plurality of instructions comprising:

recording interactions of a user with one or more computer-implemented applications;

calculating parameter values for the user for a plurality of user attributes based on the interactions.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the calculating comprises:

assembling a plurality of equations corresponding to the computer-implemented applications, each of the plurality of equations defining a relationship between an output of one of the computer-implemented applications and at least one of the parameter values; and

solving the set of equations to compute the parameter values.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the plurality of instructions further comprises instructions for:

determining whether at least a portion of the parameter values are missing or conflicting; and

in response to determining wherein at least a portion of the parameter values are missing or conflicting, prompting the user to interact with at least one additional computer-implemented application that is associated with the portion of the parameter values; and

after the prompting, repeating the recording and the calculating to update the parameter values.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the prompting further comprises:

selecting at least one other computer-implemented application from a plurality of available computer implemented applications, the at least one other computer-implemented application configured to provide an output that can be translated into a new parameter value for each of the portion of the parameter values.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13, further comprising:

identifying an current episodic social network (ESN) for the user and a target ESN for the user;

selecting a path of ESNs between the current ESN and the target ESN based on the plurality of user attributes.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein the selecting of the path comprises:

obtaining a default path of ESNs between the current ESN and the target ESN; and

altering the default path based on the plurality of user attributes, the altering comprising at least one of adding an additional ESN, removing an ESN, or selecting to traverse between ESNs in a different order than in the default path.
