Abstract

The integrated personalized content recommendation and management system aggregates content across multiple third-party websites and applications to be presented to said user based to generate personalized content recommendations. The system utilizes a unique profile associated with a particular user to generate the personalized content recommendations, and additionally, the system may seamlessly propagate the user'"'"'s profile across multiple third-party websites and applications, and build social instructions based on the user'"'"'s profile. The integrated personalization content recommendation and management system and method may provide an online recommendation and social networking service that delivers to users personalized content, social and/or product recommendations derived from participating electronic mediums (e.g. web sites, applications and mobile devices). The personalized content or product inventory may be derived from participating consumer or commercial web sites and web and mobile based applications.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented personalized content recommendation and management system comprising:

a user profile repository located within a database;

a user profile creation and management module which provides access to manually modify user settings;

an analytics platform module; and

a personalization button generation module;

a developer portal dashboard module wherein said module prompts a publisher to add a system generated button to said publisher'"'"'s websites and/or applications in order to connect said websites and/or applications with a network of said system;

wherein the user profile creation and management module creates, stores and manages user profile information in the user profile repository;

wherein the analytics platform module;

comprises a decision engine, management dashboard, and reporting dashboard; and

utilizes an algorithm to generate personalized content recommendations for a user based on said user'"'"'s profile information;

wherein the personalization button generation module facilitates the generation of targeted content to users based on said system generated content recommendations; and

wherein the computer-implemented personalized content recommendation and management system;

seamlessly propagates a user'"'"'s profile across multiple third-party websites and applications;

builds social instructions based on said user'"'"'s profile;

aggregates content across multiple third-party websites and applications to be presented to said user based on the generated personalized content recommendations, and organizes said aggregated content; and

stores information about said personalized content to be utilized by said system in the generation of said user'"'"'s personalized content recommendations;

wherein the a user profile repository, the user profile creation and management module, the analytics platform module and the personalization button generation module are integrated with each other; and

a login validation module wherein said module facilitates a user'"'"'s system account to be accessed by a system log in and/or a user'"'"'s social network login through which a user authorizes the system to access said user'"'"'s personal data.
