Abstract

A method for enabling a user to customize, prioritize, and view information filtered to align with the user'"'"'s life state that includes interaction with an online market place. The user provides priority, positioning, and custom information about the user'"'"'s life state which allows the user to view information in a life view. This information may include at least demographic information, logistical information, ethnic information, social information and psychological information. The partners may use the information about the user'"'"'s life to filter its information according to the information about the user'"'"'s life, which is then viewed in a life view by a user, according to the user defined positioning, prioritization, and other custom parameters. The method also enables the user to view partner and user participation in a marketplace to procure the information about the user'"'"'s life, user ratings according to the user'"'"'s behavior, and partner ratings according to the partner'"'"'s information delivery.

Claims

1. A mirrored and distributed information delivery system, comprising:

a processing unit;

a memory and system bus coupled to the processing unit, the memory configured to store instructions comprising;

receiving, prioritizing, positioning, and displaying information about and relevant to a user'"'"'s life from a user who is a registered member of the information delivery system, the information delivery system comprising one or more mirrored servers configured to accommodate usage by a plurality of users, wherein the information about and relevant to the user'"'"'s life includes at least (a) demographic information, (b) ethnic information, (c) social information, and (d) psychological information;

each of the mirrored servers associated with a mirrored database;

utilizing a set of criteria to evaluate and approve a partner, wherein the criteria comprises any one of a service type, merchandise type and reputation;

at least one of the mirrored servers configured to store a user administration application and a life state application, the life state application configured so as to auto-populate attributes and sub-attributes with values derived from one or more partners;

enabling the user to grant permissions to the partner to access the information about and relevant to the user'"'"'s life, wherein the partner is also a registered member of the information delivery system, and wherein the user grants the permission to the partner by controlling visibility of the partner to the information about and relevant to the user'"'"'s life and by controlling frequency, extent, type, and volume of filtered information that is pushed by the partner, in order for the partner to display customized information relevant to the user'"'"'s life view, wherein the life view may be altered using a plurality of view positioning states that are configured with dates and activate and inactive states such that a first view positioning state may be used in combination with a second view positioning state, certain view positioning states being assigned a priority; and

receiving the filtered information from the partner, wherein the filtered information is generated by the partner based on applying the information about and relevant to the user'"'"'s life to information of the partner, wherein the information about and relevant to the user'"'"'s life is provided by the user using a client computing system associated with the information delivery system, wherein the information about and relevant to the user'"'"'s life is received by a server computing system associated with the information delivery system, and wherein the information about the user'"'"'s life is received, prioritized, positioned, and displayed according to the user'"'"'s life.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

providing a life view to enable the user to view the filtered information, wherein the filtered information may be a subset of the information of the partner, and wherein the life view associated with the user is independently configurable from a life view associated with another user of the information delivery system.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

providing and displaying information from a marketplace to enable partners to procure the information about the user'"'"'s life, wherein the user may prioritize, position, and display information regarding marketplace interests, bids, offers, and transactions.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

establishing a data structure to enable the user to provide the information about and relevant to the user'"'"'s life, the data structure including fields related to one another, wherein each of the fields is associated with a value, and wherein the data structure includes multiple levels such that a field at a lower level is to provide more detail information and value than a corresponding field at a higher level, wherein information may be displayed, prioritized, and positioned in a life view from multiple levels according to the user'"'"'s life.

5. The system of claim 4, further comprising:

automatically populating the fields of the data structure; and

enabling the user to update the populated fields of the data structure so as to accurately reflect the user'"'"'s life, wherein baseline information may be displayed, prioritized, and positioned in a life view from multiple levels according to the user'"'"'s life.

6. The system of claim 5, further comprising:

enabling the user to update the baseline values and the non-baseline values using a mobile computing system and a mobile application associated with the information delivery system, wherein information may be displayed, prioritized, and positioned in a life view on a computing system, mobile application, and by other embodiments herein.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

enabling the user to rate the partner based on whether the filtered information from the partner is aligned with the information about and relevant to the user'"'"'s life; and

enabling the partner to rate the user based on whether the information about and relevant to the user'"'"'s life is aligned with behavior of the user when the user visits a website associated with the partner, wherein the user rating for the partner may be used as a setting in the user'"'"'s prioritization, positioning, and displaying of that partner'"'"'s information in a life view, wherein the partner rating for the user may be visible in the user'"'"'s prioritization, positioning, and displaying of that partner'"'"'s information in a life view.

8. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

storing the information about and relevant to the user'"'"'s life and life view in a secured relational database associated with the information delivery system; and

enabling the information about and relevant to the user'"'"'s life to be accessed by the partner when the user visits a website of the partner; and

enabling the information about and relevant to the user'"'"'s life to be customized and accessed by the user through the user'"'"'s life view.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein customized web pages are presented to the user when the user visits the website of the partner, and wherein the customized web pages are generated by the partner based on the information about and relevant to the user'"'"'s life, wherein the user may access these customized web pages from a life view.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein filtered search results are presented to the user when the user visits the website of the partner, and wherein the filtered search results are generated by the partner based on search parameters provided by the user and based on the information about and relevant to the user'"'"'s life, wherein the search parameters and search results generated by the partner may be factored into the information pushed by the partner into a life view.
