Abstract

A personal intelligence platform uses a personal intelligence profile. A user can configure his or her mobile device to generate a signal containing portions of his or her personal information profile to obtain responses based upon the signal generated.

Claims

1. A computing system, comprising:

a search engine configured to perform searches of information sources and return search results based on search inputs by a given user;

an automated profile generator configured to access a set of information corresponding to the searches performed by the search component for the given user and generate a profile for the given user based on the set of information;

a signal broadcast control component that generates user input mechanisms that are actuated to selectively post portions of the profile to a signal service; and

a signal engagement system that receives engagement responses from the signal service and generates a user engagement interface indicative of the engagement responses.

2. The computing system of claim 1 and further comprising:

an activation component configured to generate an activation user interface display with an activation user input mechanism actuated to activate the signal broadcast control component to selectively post the portions of the profile to the signal service.

3. The computing system of claim 2 wherein the activation component is configured to generate a profile authorization user input mechanism that is actuated to authorize the automated profile generator to access the set of information and generate the profile.

4. The computing system of claim 3 and further comprising:

a verification component configured to access the profile and generate a verification user interface display with a verification user input mechanism that is actuated to verify information in the profile for the given user.

5. The computing system of claim 4 wherein the verification component is configured to generate a correction user input mechanism that is actuated to correct information in the profile to obtain a corrected profile.

6. The computing system of claim 5 and further comprising:

an augmentation component configured to generate an augmentation user input mechanism that is actuated to augment the profile with information from a set of private information sources for the given user.

7. The computing system of claim 6 wherein the augmentation component is configured to generate the augmentation user input mechanism to include a medical record input mechanism that is actuated to authorize the augmentation component to obtain personal medical records for the given user.

8. The computing system of claim 6 wherein the augmentation component is configured to generate the augmentation user input mechanism to include a financial record input mechanism that is actuated to authorize the augmentation component to obtain personal financial records for the given user.

9. The computing system of claim 6 wherein the augmentation component is configured to generate the augmentation user input mechanism to include a social network record input mechanism that is actuated to authorize the augmentation component to obtain personal social network records for the given user.

10. The computing system of claim 6 wherein the automated profile generator is configured to use the search engine to search for publically available information about the given user and generate the profile based on the publically available information.

11. The computing system of claim 10 wherein the automated profile generator is configured to divide the profile into a people section indicative of information corresponding to the given user related to people, a places section indicative of information corresponding to the given user related to places and a things section indicative of information corresponding to the given user related to things.

12. A method, comprising:

accessing a set of information corresponding to information retrieval searches performed by a given user;

generating a profile for the given user based on the set of information;

generating a post user input mechanism;

receiving actuation of the post user input mechanism identifying selected portions of the profile to post to a signal service;

posting the selected portions of the profile to the signal service;

receiving engagement responses from the signal service; and

generating a user engagement interface indicative of the engagement responses.

13. The method of claim 12 and further comprising:

generating an augmentation user input mechanism that is actuated to augment the profile with information from a set of private information sources for the given user;

receiving user actuation of the augmentation user input mechanism to identify a selected set of the private information sources; and

augmenting the profile with information from the selected set of private information sources.

14. The method of claim 13 and further comprising:

generating an activation user interface display with an activation user input mechanism;

receiving user actuation of the activation user input mechanism; and

in response, activating the posting of the selected portions of the profile to the signal service.

15. The method of claim 14 and further comprising:

prior to posting, generating a verification user interface display, displaying the profile;

displaying a verification user input mechanism that is actuated to verify information in the profile for the given user;

receiving actuation of the verification user input mechanism; and

in response, posting the selected portions of the profile to the signal service.

16. The method of claim 15 wherein generating a verification user interface display comprises:

generating a correction user input mechanism that is actuated to correct information in the displayed profile to obtain a corrected profile.

17. The method of claim 13 and further comprising:

generating the augmentation user input mechanism to include a medical record input mechanism that is actuated to authorize the augmentation component to obtain personal medical records for the given user, and a financial record input mechanism that is actuated to authorize the augmentation component to obtain personal financial records for the given user.

18. The method of claim 12 wherein generating the profile comprises dividing the profile into a people section indicative of information corresponding to the given user related to people, a places section indicative of information corresponding to the given user related to places and a things section indicative of information corresponding to the given user related to things, and wherein generating the user engagement interface comprises displaying a separate people section, places section and things section, based on which sections of the profile the engagement responses correspond to.

19. A computer readable storage medium that stores computer executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method, comprising:

generating a profile for the given user based on a set of information corresponding to information retrieval searches performed by a given user;

receiving actuation of a post user input mechanism identifying selected portions of the profile to post to a signal service;

posting the selected portions of the profile to the signal service; and

generating a user engagement interface indicative of engagement responses received from the signal service.

20. The computer readable storage medium of claim 19 and further comprising:

receiving actuation of an authorization user input mechanism;

in response, obtaining personal data records for the given user; and

adding the personal data records to the profile for the given user.
