Abstract

The disclosure includes a system and method for changing user profile impression. The system includes a controller, a preview module, a determination module and a graphical user interface module. The controller receives an input describing a selection of a profile impression from a user. The preview module determines profile preview data based at least in part on the selection and source data describing one or more user activities. The determination module receives user review data that describes a user review input based at least in part on the profile preview data. The determination module determines profile impression data based at least in part on the profile preview data and the user review data. The graphical user interface module determines graphical data based at least in part on the profile impression data.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors, user input, the user input indicating a selected profile impression from a plurality of profile impressions, each profile impression comprising a respective configuration of a user profile;

determining, by one or more processors, profile preview data based at least in part on the selected profile impression and source data describing one or more user activities, the profile preview data describing one or more recommended changes for the source data in view of the selected profile impression;

providing, by the one or more processors, the profile preview data for display of a profile impression within a profile impression review interface, the profile impression comprising a set of graphical representations of source data and a set of graphical representations of one or more recommendations for potential changes to respective source data based at least in part on the selected profile impression, each graphical representation of a recommendation for potential changes enabling a user to at least accept or deny the respective recommendation;

receiving, by one or more processors, user review data from the user, the user review data being input through at least one graphical representation in the set of graphical representations of one or more recommendations for potential changes and indicating whether the user agrees with at least one recommended change of the one or more recommended changes for the respective source data described by the profile preview data;

determining, by one or more processors, profile impression data based at least in part on the profile preview data and the user review data, the profile impression data describing the one or more user activities based at least in part on the user review data; and

providing, by the one or more processors, a resulting profile impression for display within the profile impression review interface, the resulting profile impression being based on the profile impression data, and comprising a sub-set of the set of graphical representation representations of source data.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the profile preview data further comprises:

retrieving the source data; and

modifying the source data based at least in part on the selection of the profile impression.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein modifying the source data further comprises removing a portion of the source data based at least in part on the selection of the profile impression.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the profile impression data further comprises:

modifying an access control list for the source data based at least in part on the user review data; and

determining the profile impression data based at least in part on the access control list.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the profile impression data further comprises removing a portion of the source data based at least in part on the user review data.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the profile impression data further comprises modifying a user interest based at least in part on the user review data.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving user input, the user input indicating a selected profile impression from a plurality of profile impressions, each profile impression comprising a respective configuration of a user profile;

determining profile preview data based at least in part on the selected profile impression and source data describing one or more user activities, the profile preview data describing one or more recommended changes for the source data in view of the selected profile impression;

providing the profile preview data for display of a profile impression within a profile impression review interface, the profile impression comprising a set of graphical representations of source data and a set of graphical representations of one or more recommendations for potential changes to respective source data based at least in part on the selected profile impression, each graphical representation of a recommendation for potential changes enabling a user to at least accept or deny the respective recommendation;

receiving user review data from the user, the user review data being input through at least one graphical representation in the set of graphical representations of one or more recommendations for potential changes and indicating whether the user agrees with at least one recommended change of the one or more recommended changes for the respective source data described by the profile preview data;

determining profile impression data based at least in part on the profile preview data and the user review data, the profile impression data describing the one or more user activities based at least in part on the user review data; and

providing a resulting profile impression for display within the profile impression review interface, the resulting profile impression being based on the profile impression data, and comprising a sub-set of the set of graphical representation representations of source data.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7, wherein determining the profile preview data further comprises:

retrieving the source data; and

modifying the source data based at least in part on the selection of the profile impression.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein modifying the source data further comprises removing a portion of the source data based at least in part on the selection of the profile impression.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7, wherein determining the profile impression data further comprises:

modifying an access control list for the source data based at least in part on the user review data; and

determining the profile impression data based at least in part on the access control list.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7, wherein determining the profile impression data further comprises removing a portion of the source data based at least in part on the user review data.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7, wherein determining the profile impression data further comprises modifying a user interest based at least in part on the user review data.

13. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising;

receiving user input, the user input indicating a selected profile impression from a plurality of profile impressions, each profile impression comprising a respective configuration of a user profile;

determining profile preview data based at least in part on the selection of the selected profile impression and source data describing one or more user activities, the profile preview data describing one or more recommended changes for the source data in view of the selected profile impression;

providing the profile preview data for display of a profile impression within a profile impression review interface, the profile impression comprising a set of graphical representations of source data and a set of graphical representations of one or more recommendations for potential changes to respective source data based at least in part on the selected profile impression, each graphical representation of a recommendation for potential changes enabling a user to at least accept or deny the respective recommendation;

receiving user review data from the user, the user review data being input through at least one graphical representation in the set of graphical representations of one or more recommendations for potential changes and indicating whether the user agrees with at least one recommended change of the one or more recommended changes for the respective source data described by the profile preview data;
