  • Publication number: 20180157656
    Abstract: A computer method that networks people around the content that they jointly value by leveraging pre-existing curated collections of links to documents, such favorited photos of individuals on DeviantArt or the citations within a medical journal article. Because the method depends only on collections of curated links to seed it's content-centric networking paradigm, it averts the sparsity problem in initiating such a network, since it provides great value to even the first user, and provides exponentially increasing value as the population of networked users increases. This method allows its networked users to “like” or “dislike” documents within its database of leveraged documents into one or more personal curations. Individuals are then network with one another by correlating pairs of personal curations, wherein a stronger correlation between likes results in a stronger relationship between the curations and stronger correlations between dislikes and likes weakens the relationships.

  • Patent number: 8706721
    Abstract: Method optimally links humans and information using correlations that detect shared interests. It then uses the probabilistic pathways established by iterating over these links to optimally connect individuals to the information they are most interested in. In so doing, this invention leverages the collective assessments of individuals whose perspectives most closely match the observer's perspectives to dramatically improve the personalized prioritization of information flows, information discovery, navigation and the efficient dissemination of information. This invention is particularly useful in providing an objective method to organize and assess information based on human subjectivity. Since human subjectivity plays an important factor in accessing the importance of nearly all forms of information, it dramatically improves the efficiency of connecting humans to the information they personally find the most valuable.

  • Patent number: 8060856
    Abstract: An object is developed using an operating system neutral application programming interface (API). The object is complied for a designated operating system that includes native objects and supports an API for accessing native objects of the operating system. The compiled object includes logic code, a native object interop for accessing the logic code using the API for accessing native objects of the operating system, and a platform-neutral interop for accessing the logic code using the operating system neutral API.
