  • Publication number: 20240211885
    Abstract: Consistent with disclosed embodiments, systems, methods, and computer readable media include instructions for internet-based smart contracting and collaboration. Embodiments may include a processor to access terms of a collaborative smart contract between at least two previously unconnected entities; remotely monitor activity of the entities to track progress of the in satisfying the success criteria; determine that all of the success criteria are satisfied; perform semantic analysis to identify a plurality of additional entities who share the unmet technological need; and transmit to the plurality of additional entities an indication that the success criteria are satisfied, and an opportunity related to the satisfied success criteria.

  • Publication number: 20240145073
    Abstract: Consistent with disclosed embodiments, systems, methods, and computer readable media include instructions for identifying unmet technological needs. Embodiments may include a processor for identifying in a data structure a subset of a plurality of unmet technological needs associated with a query; receiving a selection of a particular unmet technological need; receiving a request to identify an extent of the particular unmet technological need; scraping the internet and performing semantic analysis to determine information characterizing an extent of the particular unmet technological need; aggregating and analyzing the characterization information to quantify a number of beneficiaries sharing the particular unmet technological need; and outputting for presentation the quantification in association with an indication of the particular unmet technological need.

  • Publication number: 20240143672
    Abstract: Consistent with disclosed embodiments, systems, methods, and computer readable media include instructions for forming ephemeral social clusters. Embodiments may include a processor to scrape the internet for commonality data identifying a plurality of entities, performing electronic semantic analysis on scraped commonality data to identify a subset of the plurality of entities having at least one specific overlapping interest. Electronic communications may be transmitted to at least some entities and electronic responses may be received. An interest group may be generated based on the responses and defined by the overlapping interest. The processor may receive electronic data from a plurality of different sources to monitor the overlapping interest and redefine the interest group based on the data.

  • Publication number: 20240144120
    Abstract: Consistent with disclosed embodiments, systems, methods, and computer readable media include instructions for associating entities with unestablished relationships in order to induce collaboration. Embodiments may include a processor to receive information identifying a current unmet technological need and to access an electronic data source to identify, in relation to the current unmet technological need, a plurality of skill sets of a plurality of entities, and a plurality of technological need-related roles of the entities. The internet may be scraped to identify a prior solution for resolving a previous unmet technological need that may be related to the current unmet technological need. The processor may generate at least one collaboration rule based on the prior solution and apply the rule to satisfy the current unmet technological need.

  • Publication number: 20240135291
    Abstract: Consistent with disclosed embodiments, systems, methods, and computer readable media include instructions for mapping a series of related unmet technological needs and for providing resources for satisfying unmet technological needs. Embodiments may include a processor to receive first onboarding information from a plurality of first entities; establish a map including a plurality of nodes representing first unmet technological needs; establish pathways between the plurality of nodes; receive second onboarding information from a plurality of second entities; alter the map based on the second onboarding information; and receive content within nodes, the content being available to particular entities by virtue of the particular entities being associated with the nodes.

  • Patent number: 7114719
    Abstract: A multi-phase analytical game activity, is prefaced with a construction phase, in which are constructed from component elements, a plurality of [co-operatively-disposed] playing pieces (11), such as hollow, co-operatively inter-nesting cubes; with coded marking of individual facets (15), according to designated topics and subsidiary categories; whereby cube and facet juxtaposition reflect topic inter-relationships and hierarchies; in a follow-on board game phase, progress around a designated playing area is determined by random chance selector means, and coding of placement areas triggers selection of topic query cards for topic exploration.
