System and method for personalized communication network
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor;
a plurality of message originator profiles residing in the at least one memory, each of the plurality of message originator profiles comprising a plurality of message originator messaging preferences;
a plurality of message recipient profiles residing in the at least one memory, each of the plurality of message recipient profiles, wherein each of the plurality of message recipient profiles comprises;
a plurality of message recipient messaging preferences;
a plurality of contact information; and
a plurality of message platforms;
a first messaging relationship established between a first message originator and a first message recipient; and
a messaging mechanism residing in the at least one memory, the messaging mechanism delivering at least one message to the first message recipient based on the first messaging relationship between the first message originator and the first message recipient, the at least one message being delivered based on the message recipient messaging preferences and the message originator messaging preferences wherein the messaging mechanism shields the plurality of message recipient messaging preferences, the plurality of contact information, and the plurality of message platforms from the first message originator, wherein the messaging mechanism evaluates the plurality of message recipient profiles by comparing at least one of the plurality of message recipient messaging preferences, the plurality of contact information and the plurality of message platforms for a plurality of message recipients and merges at least two message recipient profiles based on similarities found in the at least two message recipient profiles to create a merged message recipient profile and wherein the messaging mechanism provides the message recipient associated with the merged message recipient profile an opportunity to authorize the plurality of messaging relationships.

Abstract
The various implementations of the present invention are provided as a computer-based system configured to allow for the creation of a personalized communications network. A message recipient can establish one or more messaging relationships with persons and entities or message originators and configure their message recipient account to receive messages from the message originators without divulging or compromising the message recipient'"'"'s contact information. The content and messaging platform for delivery of the messages can be customized based on a classification established for each messaging relationship between a message originator and a message recipient. A message originator can utilize the personalized communications network to send messages to multiple message recipients, even if the message originator does not have knowledge of, or direct access to, the contact information for the message recipients. The collection of the messaging relationships established by a message recipient and message originators is a “personalized communications network.”

15. A method comprising the steps of:
-
creating a plurality of message recipient profiles for a plurality of message recipients, each message recipient profile comprising a plurality of message recipient messaging preferences; creating a plurality of message originator profiles for a plurality of message originators, each message originator profile comprising a plurality of message originator messaging preferences; establishing a first messaging relationship between a first message originator selected from the plurality of message originators and a first message recipient selected from the plurality of message recipients; delivering at least one message to the first message recipient based on the plurality of message recipient messaging preferences and the plurality of message originator messaging preferences; shielding the plurality of message recipient messaging preferences, the plurality of contact information, and the plurality of message platforms from the first message originator while delivering the at least one message; evaluating the plurality of message recipient profiles by comparing the plurality of message recipient messaging preferences and merging at least two message recipient profiles based on similarities found in the at least two message recipient profiles to create a merged message recipient profile; and providing a message recipient associated with the merged message recipient profile an opportunity to authorize a plurality of messaging relationships. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
