  • Patent number: 8095489
    Abstract: A Real-Time Group Intelligence Creation System 100 comprising of Group Intelligence Creation Controller 200, Facilitator Expert System 300, Adaptive Group Intelligence Mining Engine 400, Intelligent Web Communicator 500, Idea and Solution Source Data Server 600, and Classification, Extraction, Thinking Pattern and Hint Data Server 700. The System extends traditional computational grid to include idea creations and problem solving generations to form a collaborative thinking grid that is made up of mass volume of participants using either mobile device or stationary device, and is without the need of face-to-face interaction. The System uses both shallow knowledge and deep knowledge mining agents to mine unstructured ideas and solutions in real-time for unifying multiple topics and generating classifications, extractions, thinking patterns and hints. This information are provided to participants during creation processes in order to simulate and accelerate participants' thinking further.
