System and method for management of information streams delivered for use by a user
First Claim
1. A method for management of information streams delivered for use by a user of a user device, comprising:
- discovering information streams relevant to the user using a plurality of uniquifiers, wherein each uniquifier of the plurality of uniquifiers characterizes the user and resides on the user device;
adding the discovered information streams to a list of approved information streams;
registering to at least one information stream in the list of approved information streams;
filtering data provided by the at least one information stream using the plurality of uniquifiers;
continuously monitoring actual user usage patterns of the filtered data based on current sensory information obtained from the user,continuously collecting said monitored actual user usage patterns including at least frequency of access and level of interest of the filtered data,providing a continuous feedback of the relevancy to the user of the at least one registered information stream based on results from the continuous monitoring and collecting to enable improved discovery and filtering of future information streams which may be relevant to the user, andmanaging the registration and un-registration of information streams in a manner corresponding to the user areas of interest based on a monitored actual usage of the at least one registered information stream by the user.

Abstract
A method for management of information streams delivered for use by a user of a user device comprises discovering information streams relevant to the user using a plurality of uniquifiers, wherein each uniquifier of the plurality of uniquifier characterizes the user; adding the discovered information streams to a list of approved information streams; registering to at least one information stream in the list of approved information streams; filtering data provided by the at least one information stream using the plurality of uniquifiers; and providing a feedback based on the user usage of the filter data to enable improved future discovery and filtering.

13. A system for management of information streams delivered for use by a user of a user device comprising:
-
a uniquifier generator and manager (UGM) residing on the user device for answering queries responsive to data collected by a plurality of sensors, wherein answers are provided based on a plurality of uniquifiers, wherein each uniquifier of the plurality of uniquifiers characterizes the user and resides on the user device; a discovery engine (DE) for discovering information streams relevant to the user based on queries presented to the UGM and answers received thereto, wherein the discovered information streams are added to a list of approved information streams; a filtering engine (FE) for registering to at least one approved information stream in the list of approved information streams and filtering data provided by the at least one approved information stream based on queries presented to the UGM and answers received thereto; and a feedback engine (FBE) for continuously monitoring actual usage of the filtered data by the user of the user device based on sensory information provided by the UGM, and continuously collecting said monitored actual user usage patterns including at least frequency of access and level of interest, and providing a continuous feedback of the relevancy to the user of the at least one registered information stream based on results from the continuous monitoring and collecting, said feedback engine being further configured to initiate a release of said at least one information stream found not to be applicable to the user of the user device based on said continuous monitoring, continuous collecting and continuous feedback. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
