Abstract

A personal intelligence platform uses a personal intelligence profile. A user can configure his or her mobile device to generate a signal containing portions of his or her personal information profile to obtain responses based upon the signal generated.

Claims

1. A computing system, comprising:

a processor; and

memory storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the instructions configure the computing system to;

access a user profile;

identify a set of different content categories from information stored in the user profile;

generate a representation of a user interface display that identifies the set of different content categories and includes a content category selection user input mechanism;

receive an indication of user actuation of the content category selection user input mechanism;

based on the indication of user actuation of the content category selection user input mechanism, select a plurality of content categories from the set of different content categories;

generate a plurality of broadcast signals based on the plurality of content categories, wherein each broadcast signal corresponds to a particular one of the content categories and includes a subset of the information stored in the user profile that is specific to the particular content category;

communicate the plurality of broadcast signals to a signal service, the signal service being configured to communicate the broadcast signals to a plurality of different, remotely-located signal engagement computing systems;

receive, from the signal service, a set of engagement responses,

wherein each engagement response corresponds to a particular one of the signal engagement computing systems and is associated with a particular one of the broadcast signals, the engagement response comprising;

location information indicative of a location associated with the engagement response; and

response information pertaining to the content category that corresponds to the particular broadcast signal;

generate a representation of an engagement response user interface display that includes a map representation and, for each engagement response, a user actuatable display element that represents the engagement response and is displayed on the map representation based on the location information; and

based on an indication of user actuation of one of the display elements, display the response information corresponding to the display element.

2. The computing system of claim 1 wherein the instructions configure the computing system to:

generate a representation of an activation user interface display with an activation user input mechanism; and

in response to an indication of user actuation of the activation user input mechanism, activate a signal broadcast control component that accesses the user profile and controls generation of the plurality of broadcast signals that are communicated to the signal service.

3. The computing system of claim 1, wherein each engagement response identifies an item of interest, and the instructions configure the computing system to:

generate the representation of the engagement response user interface display with a representation of the item of interest and an action user interface element;

receive an indication of user actuation of the action user interface element; and

based on the indication of user actuation of the action user interface element, perform an action relative to the item of interest.

4. The computing system of claim 1, wherein the instructions configure the computing system to:

generate a representation of a profile authorization user input mechanism;

receive an indication of user actuation of the profile authorization user input mechanism;

based on the indication of user actuation of the profile authorization user input mechanism, authorize an automated profile generator to access the information and generate the user profile;

generate a representation of a verification user interface display with a verification user input mechanism;

receive an indication of user actuation of the verification user input mechanism; and

based on the indication of user actuation of the verification user input mechanism, verify information in the user profile.

5. The computing system of claim 4 wherein the instructions configure the computing system to:

generate a representation of a correction user input mechanism;

receive an indication of user actuation of the correction user input mechanism;

based on the indication of user actuation of the correction user input mechanism, correct information in the user profile to obtain a corrected profile;

generate a representation of an augmentation user input mechanism;

receive an indication of user actuation of the augmentation user input mechanism; and

based on the indication of user actuation of the augmentation user input mechanism, augment the user profile with information from a private information source.

6. The computing system of claim 1, wherein the user profile corresponds to a first user, and wherein the instructions configure the computing system to:

receive an indication of a second broadcast signal from the signal service, the second broadcast signal being associated with a second user;

generate a representation of a broadcast signal user interface display that displays an indication of the second broadcast signal and includes a response user input mechanism;

receive an indication of user interaction with the response user input mechanism;

based on the indication of user interaction with the response user input mechanism, generate a second engagement response to the second broadcast signal;

send the second engagement response to the signal service.

7. The computing system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of broadcast signals are generated based on a geographic location.

8. The computing system of claim 7 wherein the geographic location is based on a current location of a user associated with the user profile, and wherein the plurality of remotely-located signal engagement computing systems are selected based on the geographic location.

9. The computing system of claim 8, wherein the location information is indicative of a location associated with the particular signal engagement computing system, and wherein the instructions configure the computing system to:

generate the map representation to include the user actuatable display element at a position that represents the relative proximity of the particular signal engagement computing system to the current location of the user.

10. The computing system of claim 1, wherein the location is associated with a source that generated the engagement response.

11. The computing system of claim 1, wherein each display element indicates how well the engagement response represented by the display element matches the area of interest.

12. The computing system of claim 1, wherein the engagement response user interface display visually distinguishes each engagement response, in the set of engagement responses, based on the plurality of content categories.

13. The computing system of claim 1, wherein the instructions configure the computing system to:

generate the representation of the engagement response user interface display with user actuatable display elements corresponding to the plurality of content categories, each display element corresponding to a particular one of the content categories and being actuatable to display any engagement responses, in the set of engagement response, that are associated with the particular content category.

14. The computing system of claim 1, wherein each engagement response is associated with the particular broadcast signal based on a determination that the engagement response was generated by the corresponding signal engagement computing system in response to the particular broadcast signal.
