Abstract

Systems and methods are provided that allow for the generation, management, and monetization of memory content. Illustratively, the memory content generation and management platform comprises a computing environment comprising a memory content generation and management engine and at least one instruction set to process disaggregated data to generate and/or manage memory content. Illustratively, the instruction set comprises at least one selected memory content generation template which directs participating users to input data for processing as answers to selected questions and/or provides for the execution of a selected data scraping paradigm which illustratively operates to cooperate with a participating user'"'"'s computing environment to collect digital media data (e.g., scraping e-mails, digital photos, instant message logs, etc.) for use in generating memory content. Illustratively, the generated memory content can be monetized through a cooperating user-generated advertisement platform.

Claims

1. A system to generate and manage memory content comprising:

a memory content and management engine operable to receive data representative of one or more portions of a memory through one or more selected memory creation templates and/or data scraping operations; and

an instruction set comprising at least one instruction to instruct the memory content and generation engine to process the received data to generate memory content according to one or more selected memory content generation and management paradigms.

2. The system as recited in claim 1 further comprising a memory content data store capable of storing data representative of generated memory content.

3. The system as recited in claim 2 further comprising a user data store capable of storing data representative of user data.

4. The system as recited in claim 3 further comprising a memory content generation guidelines data store comprising data representative of memory content generation and management paradigms.

5. The system as recited in claim 4 further comprising a communications network operatively cooperating with he memory content and management engine to communicate data between the memory content and management engine and other cooperating parties.

6. The system as recited in claim 5 wherein the other cooperating parties comprise any of participating users.

7. The system as recited in claim 5 wherein the memory content generation and management engine comprises a computing environment.

8. The system as recited in claim 7 wherein the instruction set comprises a memory content generation and management computing application executable on the memory content generation and management computing environment.

9. The system as recited in claim 8 wherein the other cooperating parties comprise computing environments cooperating with memory content generation and management computing environment over the communications network.

10. The system as recited in claim 8 wherein the other cooperating parties comprise a user-generated advertisement platform.

11. A method to generate memory content comprising:

receiving data representative of one or more portions of a memory as inputs to one or more selected memory creation templates and/or data scraping operations; and

processing the received data according to a selected memory content generation paradigm to generate memory content.

12. The method as recited in claim 11 further comprising receiving the data representative of the one or more portions of a memory from a cooperating computing environment.

13. The method as recited in claim 12 further comprising communicating generated memory content to the cooperating computing environments.

14. The method as recited in claim 13 further comprising receiving data representative of one or more portions of memory as input to selected prompts.

15. The method as recited in claim 13 further comprising generating group memories.

16. The method as recited in claim 13 further comprising sharing generated memories according to a selected memory content sharing paradigm.

17. The method as recited in claim 13 further comprising generating a memory calendar from generated memory content.

18. The method as recited in claim 13 further comprising generating a memory map from generated memory content.

19. The method as recited in claim 13 further comprising generating a memory tree from generated memory content.

20. The method as recited in claim 11 further comprising associating additional content to generated memory content comprising any of news data, horoscope data, and digital media content.

21. A computer readable medium having computer readable instructions to instruct a computer to perform a method comprising:

receiving data representative of one or more portions of a memory as inputs to one or more selected memory creation templates and/or data scraping operations; and

processing the received data according to a selected memory content generation paradigm to generate memory content.

22. A system to generate memory content comprising:

a first means for receiving data representative of one or more portions of a memory as inputs to one or more selected memory creation templates and/or data scraping operations; and

a second mean for processing the received data according to a selected memory content generation paradigm to generate memory content.

23. The system as recited in claim 22 further comprising a third means for storing generated memory content.

24. The system as recited in claim 23 further comprising a fourth means for communicating generated memory content to participating users.

25. The system as recited in claim 24 comprising a fifth means for creating user-generated advertisements from generated memory content.

26. A method for managing content comprising:

digitizing data representative of one or more of yearbook data, roster data, and directory data to generate memory inputs;

receiving data representative of one or more portions of a memory as inputs to one or more selected memory creation templates; and

processing the received data according to a selected memory content generation paradigm to generate memory content.
