Content preference with ratings and suggestions system and methods
First Claim
1. A system for determining preference, the system comprising:
- a client device, a server and addressable uniform resource indicators (URIs), the client device and server in communication over an electronic network and a URI content retrievable over the network;
the client device having selectable feedback controls for obtaining feedback ratings and moods from a user while viewing content in order to provide context specific suggestions;
wherein the feedback controls are dynamically assigned and adjusted by the server based on criteria available to the server;
wherein the ratings are user-specified and dependent upon the URI content;
wherein the moods are user-specified rater states independent of the URI content; and
wherein the moods denote a context-specific preference;
the server automatically receiving and storing the moods and the ratings, tracking the URIs, using the ratings to create a preference model for suggesting additional URIs;
wherein the stored ratings include at least one record with a rated item URI, a rater having a unique identification, at least one rating value provided by the rater, and at least one metadatum including the moods for creating subsets of the ratings based on the moods; and
wherein all ratings are available to the preference model.

Abstract
A system for determining preference, including a client device with feedback controls, a server and addressable URIs; the device and server in communication over an electronic network and the URIs'"'"' content retrievable over the network; the server automatically receiving and storing ratings, tracking URIs, using ratings to create a preference model for URIs, and using the preference model to suggest URIs; the stored ratings include a record having a rated item URI, a rater having a unique identification, a rating value provided by the rater, and at least one metadatum for creating subsets of ratings. Also, a method for automatically creating a chimeric preference vector, the method steps including identifying a multiplicity of datasets of rated items; automatically combining the datasets to form a combined dataset; automatically identifying ratings collisions; treating ratings collisions to form a data subset; and generating a chimeric preference vector based on the data subset.

3. A method for automatically creating a preference vector calculated from ratings and moods of a plurality of raters, the method steps comprising:
-
a server obtaining ratings and moods generated by a rater while viewing content via a client device, the client device having selectable feedback controls for obtaining the ratings and the moods of the user; wherein the feedback controls are dynamically assigned and adjusted by the server based on criteria available to the server; wherein the ratings are user-specified and dependent upon content of uniform resource indicators (URIs); wherein the moods are user-specified rater states independent of the URI content, and wherein the moods denote a context-specific preference; the server communicating with the client device over an electronic network and the server retrieving addressable URIs over the network; the server automatically receiving and storing the ratings from the client device, tracking the URIs, using the ratings to create a preference model for the URIs, and using the preference model to suggest additional URIs; wherein the stored ratings include at least one record having a rated item URI, a rater having a unique identification, at least one rating value provided by the rater, and at least one metadatum including the moods for creating subsets of ratings; and wherein all ratings are available to the preference model; identifying, by the server, the multiple subsets of ratings for items to be used; automatically combining, by the server, the multiple subsets of ratings to form a combined dataset; automatically identifying, by the server, ratings collisions; treating, by the server, the ratings collisions automatically to generate a treated data subset of the combined dataset; and generating, by the server, a preference vector based on the treated data subset. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A method for identifying content for a new market position, the method steps comprising:
-
a server obtaining ratings and moods generated by a plurality of raters while viewing content via a plurality of client devices, the plurality of client devices having selectable feedback controls for obtaining the ratings and the moods of the plurality of raters; wherein the feedback controls are dynamically assigned and adjusted by the server based on criteria available to the server; wherein the ratings are user-specified and dependent upon content of uniform resource indicators (URIs);
wherein the moods are user-specified rater states independent of the URI content, andwherein the moods denote a context-specific preference; the server communicating with the plurality of client devices over an electronic network and the server retrieving addressable URIs over the network; the server automatically receiving and storing the ratings from the plurality of client devices, tracking the URIs, using the ratings to create a preference model for the URIs, and using the preference model to suggest additional URIs; wherein the stored ratings include at least one record having a rated item URIs, a rated item rater having a unique identification, at least one rated item rating value provided by the rated item rater, and at least one metadatum including the moods for creating subsets of ratings; and wherein all ratings are available to the preference model; indicating, by the server, a set of ratings of rated items for a current market position; indicating, by the server, a set of ratings of rated items for a target market position; automatically combining, by the server, the sets of ratings to form a combined datasets; identifying, by the server, the items where there are ratings collisions; treating, by the server, ratings collisions automatically to generate a treated data subset of the combined dataset; automatically creating, by the server, a new market position vector from the treated data set; automatically identifying, by the server, items to suggest to users during the transition to transit them from the existing market position to the new market position. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

12. A method for providing motivational devices to raters, comprising:
-
a server obtaining ratings and moods generated by a plurality of raters while viewing content via a plurality of client devices, the plurality of client devices having selectable feedback controls for obtaining the ratings and the moods of the plurality of raters; wherein the feedback controls are dynamically assigned and adjusted by the server based on criteria available to the server; the server communicating with the plurality of client devices over an electronic network and the server retrieving addressable uniform resource indicators (URIs) over the network; wherein the ratings are user-specified and dependent upon content of the URIs; wherein the moods are user-specified rater states independent of the URI content; and wherein the moods denote a context-specific preference; the server automatically receiving and storing the ratings from the plurality of client devices, tracking the URIs, using the ratings to create a preference model for, and using the preference model to suggest additional URIs; wherein the stored ratings include at least one record having a rated item URIs, a rater having a unique identification, at least one rating value provided by the rater, and at least one metadatum including the moods for creating subsets of ratings; and wherein all ratings are available to the preference model; identifying, by the server, a first rater with a preference vector; comparing, by the server, the preference vector of the rater with the preference vectors of at least one item with a motivation device; identifying, by the server, non-colliding items; pushing, by the server, at least one of the motivational devices for the non-colliding items to the rater; thereby providing a method for pushing motivational devices to raters. - View Dependent Claims (13)
