This allows creation of a unique and superior information channel with excellence in customer service and serviceability.
According to an embodiment, the present invention provides for systems and methods for providing an Intelligent Personal Assistant as a Service (iPaaS) into the market. There are personal assistants that presently exist in the market, such as Google Assistant, Siri, Cortana, and Amazon Echo, but these personal assistants fail to provide the services and sophisticated networking abilities as those of the present invention. According to an embodiment, the iPaaS interacts across digital platforms and makes decisions for the user, enabling the user to take advantage of the latest crypto technology.
According to an embodiment, the iPaaS allows users to connect to and use cloud-based productivity applications over the Internet. These cloud-based productivity applications may include, e.g., e-mail, calendaring, office tools, scheduling, e-commerce, task management, and/or any other relevant cloud-based productivity applications. According to an embodiment, all of the cloud-based productivity applications are interconnected with each other on the same platform.
According to an embodiment, the iPaaS is an Intelligent Personal Assistant, which is defined as a personal assistant that incorporates one or more complex systems with multiple Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems built in. The complexity of such a platform usually comes on the system side and AI side. On the system side, the question is how to combine individual components into an ecosystem with easy scalability and maximum flexibility? Such a platform needs to be able to dynamically scale service instances up and down based on the current load. On the AI side, the question is how does the accuracy of each individual component affect end-to-end accuracy which decide, and how to choose each AI component so that the end-to-end accuracy is maximized. The present iPaaS system answers these questions and, thus, is an improvement upon the existing technologies. According to an embodiment, the iPaaS invention includes a personal assistant powered by AI and crypto technology that will improve the daily digital and real life of the user.
According to an embodiment, iPaaS provides a complete software solution that can be accessed from a cloud service provider. Accorrding to an embodiment, one or more third party applications are accessed via a digital application incorporated in the iPaaS personal assistant. According to an embodiment, the digital application is accessed using an electronic device. The electronic device may be a watch, smart phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, and/or any other suitable wearable electronic device. According to an embodiment, the iPaaS personal assistant is granted access to the one or more third party applications prior to use by the user through the digital application.
AI is changing how people interact with technology. Many people have become familiar with touching and talking to their smartphones, watches, and/or projections of their wearable device(s). Future relationships between human and machines has become more decorated, smooth, and more personalized than ever. AI systems are beginning to learn how to adapt to personal characteristics and purposes. The present invention takes advantage of these aspects of AI and allows users to import information into intelligent operants/intelligent bubbles, integrate by swiping operants/bubbles, operationalize and automate (by integrating features into operants/bubbles) their activity or work steps in hashgraph safe and trusted networks. According to an embodiment, the platform of the present invention enables users to cut and paste operants/bubbles or circles into or from social media channels, collaboration channels, e-commerce channels, and supply chain service channels as well.
According to an embodiment, using the digital application and the electronic device, the user accesses the one or more third party application over the Internet, usually with a web browser or even with a mobile wearable device. By enabling the user to access all of the third party applications using the iPaaS personal assistant, all of the underlying infrastructure, middleware, application software, and application data are all decentralized, saving the user time, which in turn can also save the user battery life on the electronic device the user is using, further improving upon the existing technologies. According to an embodiment, the iPaaS personal assistant manages the hardware and software, and with the appropriate service agreements, ensures the availability and the security of the one or more third party applications and the user’s data as well. Furthermore, the present invention captures the power of the Internet and follows the prosumer approach, based on operants/bubbles and prosumer adoptable menus (including operant/bubble standard and non standard appearances), to accomplish improvements in the user’s daily digital life and real life.
A prosumer is, by definition, a person who consumes and produces media. The term “prosumer” is derived from the word "prosumption", a dot-com era business term meaning
"production by consumers". These terms were coined by American futurist Alvin Toffler, and were widely used by many technology writers of the time. Today it generally refers to a person using commons-based peer production.
According to an embodiment, the basic elements of the iPaaS platform are the intelligent operants/bubbles, intelligent tags, intelligent sequences/chains, and circles. According to an embodiment, intelligent operants/intelligent bubbles are defined as standardized information carriers. These intelligent operants/intelligent bubbles may be adopted or collected as follows.
Conditioned operants/bubbles and connected operants/bubbles:
• Sequences/chains (flow) are the basic elements of the conditioned operants/bubbles and connected operants/bubbles. When needed, these sequences/chains can encompass a user-defined high-level operant/bubble. Operants/bubbles in a sequence/chain (herein referred to an“operant/bubble sequence/chain”) are the user steps that are taken and protocoled, automatically recorded, adopted, and highly secured. According to an embodiment, theCwind can protocol these steps when users are buying/selling, taking notes, approving etc.
• Operants/bubbles and high level operants/high level bubbles are text and/or structured forms.
• Semi-Essential and Essential operant/bubble types. Essential is herein defined as strictly theCwind approved, and semi- essential is herein defined as partially theCwind approved; e.g., a function or feature appears when the user needs it. Semi-Essential and Essential operant/bubble types are accessable via oo or specific link from and to any social media platform (aoi(ntelligent)-activity-operanttag, ooi(ntelligent)-activity- bubbletag). e.g. ooshare ¥offer oosell o^buy oorent oomake-a-gift oobook oopay aosign- in oodisconnect oosign-digitally oologin oosign-in-with-e-ID oosign-up-via-professional- email oohire ooconnect oosign-in-with-social-login oosign-with-e-ID aos wipe- out-of- sequence oofire swipe-into-sequence oodefine-focus-of-circle oochange-hiring ooswipe-into-circle ooswipe-out-of-circle oodefine-high-level-operant oocreate-sub- timeframe oodelegate oocreate-sub-process oocreate-sub-locationframe oodefine- sharing-level devaluate oogive-pros oogive-cons oopush-acceptance oopull-obligation- only ooselect-channel oocreate-sub-event ooprofile-for-service ooselect-best-channel- for-situation ooimport oopush-or-pull ooping-me-on ooservice-feed oowork-feed ooaccept-alignment oorate ooaccept-shared-decision ooaccept-informed-consent oodown-voting oosocial-feed aoopen-new-decision-cascade aoopen-new-service-cascade oostop-tracking oopost aoplace-offer-only ooplace&order&pay oosend- trusted- registered oodislike oodetect ooaccept-trusted-3 -party aoaccept-3 -party-status oorefuse-3 -party- status aoapprove oosetup-situation oosetup-sub-situation ooview-trusted-register oodisapprove oolike oomeet-virtually-only ooinstantly-virtually-only oosetup-fix- timeframe oonegotiate oosetup-flexible-time-frame aomeet-physical-at-service-provider ooprescribe ooaudit oolocally-virtually-assisted oobuy-locally oodeliver-by-priority-mail oodistrust oolead oodeliver-by-non-priority-mail crotransfer-information-to-action-bubble oocommand aoselect-operant-appearance aotransfer-information-to-acti on-operant aoup- voting oointerfere oocompare ooadopt ooneutralize ao search aonote oofollow ooblock oocertify oomake-uncertified oodelete-post aoautomate oosend ooschedule ooconfirm oorequest oounfollow ooorganize oopublish aosimulate oocopy ooidentify croconsult oosupport ooget-aligned ao in elude ao cancel ooaccept oorefuse ao capture ootrack oomeasure oosocialize ooexclude ^export ao record oojnsert oodeposit oodeliver aopick- up ooapply aomonitor oodefine-activity-cycle oodefine-match-action oomatch aovote

In embodiments, natural language processing may be used to perform entity detection, topic extraction, disambiguation, and/or other processing functions to generate the D-emojis/D-emoticons presented in group 780. The user can remove one or more of the suggested D-emojis/D-emoticons by tapping/selecting the X in the corner of each D-emojis/D-emoticons, and example of which is indicated by reference 1738. Once the user has the desired set of D-emojis/D-emoticons, after deleting any, the user then invokes the Complete button 1740 to proceed to the next step, as indicated in FIG. 10L. FIG. 10L shows user interface 781 with additional D-emojis/D-emoticons that may be suggested, as indicated by reference 782. The user invokes the Complete button 1742 to proceed to the next step, as shown in FIG. 10M. FIG. 10M shows user interface 784 with group 785 of D-emojis/D-emoticons including prioritization and categorization. Group 786 includes D-emojis/D-emoticons suggested for drafting a communication based on the entered task, and can include items such as contact information (phone numbers, e-mail, etc.), expected duration of a call, and time preferences for communication.
FIG. 10N shows user interface 787 indicating various communication activities that are displayed within the frame. The frame has four segments, including high priority 788, low priority home activity 789, low priority work activity 791, and uncategorized 790. Activities can include tasks such as task 792, and/or communication messages, such as e-mail 793. Reply options such as call 794 and/or messages 795 may also be presented. In embodiments, the communication activities can be assigned to a segment by selecting an activity and then selecting a corresponding segment. For example, for the message 793, about a request for a mailing address, a user can select that message 792, and then select segment 789 to classify the message as a low priority home activity. In this way, disclosed embodiments enhance task management and prioritization, leading to increased efficiency and time management.
FIG. 10O shows examples of D-emojis/D-emoticons that may be present in some embodiments. Icon 797A shows an image representing trusted. Icon 797B shows an image indicating private. Icon 797C shows an image representing single, two-sided communication. Icon 797D shows an image representing group, multi-sided communication. Icon 797E shows an image representing enterprise, multi-sided communication. Icon 797F shows an image representing enterprise team, multi-sided communication. Icon 797G shows an image representing community local multi-sided, multi-sided communication. Icon 797H shows an image representing community regional multi-sided communication. Icon 797i shows an image representing community multi sided communication. Icon 797J shows an image representing the add circle feature. Icon 797K shows an image representing the add operant/bubble tag feature. These icons are merely exemplary, and embodiments may have more, fewer, or different icons.
In embodiments, these D-emojis/D-emoticons based on operant/bubble tags (low level and high level operant/bubble tag(s), operant/bubble tag sequence(s)/chain(s) and operant/bubble tag circle(s)) may be displayed in place of a traditional keyboard for purposes of rating services and/or other user experiences operant/bubble tags visualize activity steps or workflow processes, that facilitate community flow games and cross services respectively. A multicolored“+” icon (797J of FIG. 10O) can be used to open/create a new circle e.g.“task management”. A white“+” icon (797K of FIG. 10O) can be used to open/create a popup menu that allows any conditioning.
Each operant/bubble tag has a sharing level icon (FIG. 10O with private, friends (two-sided, multi-sided), groups (two-sided, multi-sided), enterprise (multi-sided icon) with defined content protection. For each operant/bubble tag sequence/chain, a sharing level with sharing level icon on top is defined as well. If a user taps on a sharing level (e.g.‘friends’) then it popups a list of friends whom the user can tag.
An operant/bubble tag sequence/chain contains an overall sharing level of the whole operant/bubble tag sequence/chain; an operant/bubble tag with sharing level and content operant/bubble tag; an operant/bubble tag with sharing level with content; a semantic
action/semantic service operant/bubble tag. For each selected operant/bubble tag sequence/chain private and shared trusted operant/bubble tags are suggested. For any semantic entry a
sequence/chain of operant/bubble tags is created. E.g., any note will automatically be divided into connected operant/bubble tags and added to the end of the raw“Selected”. But any (large) operant/bubble tag sequence/chain can be subdivided (by fingertip selection) into several sub- operant/bubble-sequences/chains (each with heading high level operant/bubble tag) e.g. a whole text of a letter will be divide by the app into connected operant/bubble tags and at the end structured into high-level semantic-parts. On the other hand, any semantic operant/bubble tag can be fused to one operant/bubble tag by drag&drop.
According to the defined operant/bubble tags on the raw“Selected,” the app will find matching information with the“private database” on the raw“Private suggested” and with the shared operant/bubble tags of the community on the raw“Shared trusted suggested”. The operant/bubble tags in the raw“Selected” should have no double in the raw“Private suggested” and no double in the raw“Public trusted suggested”. Each raw with operant/bubble tags/operant/bubble tag sequences/chains is horizontally scrollable. Each high level operant/bubble tag on the screen has different colors (colors occur in a predefined order e.g. blue, green, violet, green, yellow etc.) but in some embodiments, the color of a high level operant/bubble tag can be user defined and fixed. A white or low level operant/bubble tag becomes a high-level
operant/bubble tag within the circle by swiping the operant/bubble tag over the multi colored“+” icon.
High level operant/bubble tags in an operant/bubble tag sequence/chain are represented by different colored operant/bubble tags or as icons/symbols on top (instead of full colored operant/bubble tags. Icons are automatically used in the following situations: e.g. For each sharing level operant/bubble tag; For each trusted operant/bubble tag sequence/chain; For each private and active operant/bubble tag sequence/chain; For each private and inactive operant/bubble tag sequence/chain; For each“device and channel” operant/bubble tag; For each“like” shared operant/bubble tag sequence/chain; For each“dislike” shared operant/bubble tag sequence/chain.
Tapping once on an operant/bubble tag shows the details of the operant/bubble tag conditions. Tapping twice on an operant/bubble tag in a short interval divides the operant/bubble tag into a connected operant/bubble tag sequence/chain.
Some standard menus are available for bottom icons: e.g. Home, Social Feed, Services, Service Feed, Profile including access to:
— User activity/service profile(s) - the same user can have several trusted profiles and non- trusted profiles
— Sharing level specific newsfeed via news bot (like WhatsApp user to user, or user to user group)
— Sharing level specific servicefeed via service bot; service tracking of workflow or activity flow of different sharing level, with task delegation and verification in context of operant/bubble tag(s) circle with status check & progress of task e.g. project management, task management; 1. Address“informed consent”/“task“ operant/bubble tag to
contact(s)/other sharing level with( without) deadline/timer with addressed feedback (when completed), full log protocol with location stamp and timestamp (encrypted ID and private key for offline or on the‘Hyperledger Fabric’ for backend function on the crypto module, in a legally compliant way; 2. Shared Decision Making and Tracking (bi-directional): address „verified (sub-)task“ operant/bubble to (same) contact/other sharing level with short deadline/timer with addressed feedback (when completed) about one specific
operant/bubble tag in one sequence/chain, full log protocol with location stamp and timestamp (encrypted ID and private key for offline or on the‘Hyperledger Fabric’ for backend function on the crypto module, in a legally compliant way); 3. Customer Relation Management with retargeting based on content marketing e.g. tracking of what user are sharing or need to share on/for provider services/products and interfaces or tracking what service provider is sharing. 4.

FIG. 11A - 11C show a mixed reality user experience in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. Referring now to FIG. 11 A, a mobile device 802 renders a live scene with virtual information points (indicated generally as 806) rendered thereon. The user can then learn more about the virtual information point by touching it, causing a corresponding notification 810 to be displayed, as shown in FIG. 1 IB. FIG. 11C shows additional detail of the notification 810, which includes textual information 812 pertaining to a job offer. The notification further includes a job application control 814. If the user selects the job application control 814, it can present a form for them to complete to apply for the given job. The mixed reality allows a user to identify job openings in a given neighborhood, office complex, or other suitable location. In some
embodiments, the notification may include an offer for sale, purchase, and/or rental. In some embodiments, the offer can be for products and/or services. The service offers can be one-time purchases, or subscriptions.
FIG. 12A - 12C show another mixed reality user experience in accordance with
embodiments of the present invention. Referring now to FIG. 12 A, a mobile device 902 renders a live scene with virtual information points (indicated generally as 906) rendered thereon. The user can then learn more about the virtual information point by touching it, causing a corresponding notification 910 to be displayed, as shown in FIG. 12B. FIG. 12C shows additional detail of the notification 910, which includes textual information pertaining to a rental offer. The notification further includes a rental application control 914. If the user selects the rental application control 914, it can present a form for them to complete to apply for the given rental property. The mixed reality allows a user to identify available rentals in a given neighborhood, office complex, or other suitable location. Additionally, a visual notification 912 may be displayed on the user interface when virtual information points are available. Furthermore, an audio and/or vibratory alert may also be rendered when visual information points are available, thus prompting the user to view the surrounding area via mixed reality to obtain the desired information.
FIG. 13 A - 13D show a circular graphical element search user experience in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 13 A, in response to a search, a plurality of circular shaped graphical elements is rendered on user interface 1000, and some of the circular shaped graphical elements are indicated as 1002, 1004, and 1006. The circular shaped graphical elements can be ring shapes such as 1002, or solid circle shapes such as 1004 and 1006. In embodiments, the size of each circular shaped graphical element is based on relevance. Thus, in embodiments, the search result pertaining to circular shaped graphical element 1002 is more relevant than the search result pertaining to circular shaped graphical element 1006. Similarly, the search result pertaining to circular shaped graphical element 1006 is more relevant than the search result pertaining to circular shaped graphical element 1004. In some embodiments, the color and/or fill pattern may be based upon a category of a search result. As an example, a search for food may render search results that include food markets in one color, restaurants in another color, and search results including information about food regulations in another color (or fill pattern). In this way, a user can quickly assess search results and relevance using a graphical format. Furthermore, the circular shaped graphical elements can be used to further review and inspect the search results, as shown in FIGs 13B - 13D.
Referring now to FIG. 13B, a plurality of circular shaped graphical elements is shown on user interface 1020, and some of the circular shaped graphical elements are indicated as 1022, and 1024. Referring now to FIG. 13C, the user interface 1040 is shown in response to a user selecting circular shaped graphical element 1044. A current item is then shown in field 1046. Referring now to FIG. 13D, an inspection mode for the circular shaped graphical element is shown. In
embodiments, the user may invoke inspection mode via a double tap or other suitable gesture while on the user interface screen shown in FIG. 13C. The user interface then progresses to FIG. 13D where multiple segments are shown, including current item 1066 and additional text labels for additional items that are rendered in the corresponding segments. An example of a corresponding segment is indicated as 1068. This embodiment is well suited for container style objects. As an example, a music album can be considered as a container that holds multiple items (songs). In embodiments, current item 1066 represents a current playing song, while 1068 represents a related item (another song on the album). In embodiments, the user may select the related item to make it the current item. The selection mechanism can include double tapping the related item, rotating the control so the related item is in a horizontal orientation with respect to the user interface 1060, or other suitable mechanism. The user may also rotate the control as a mechanism for browsing the contents of the container (in this case, all the songs in the album). Note that while this example shows a music album, the disclosed controls can be used for a variety of digital items and corresponding metadata. Thus, in embodiments, the circular shaped graphical element, upon selection, renders a text label of a current item. In some embodiments, the circular shaped graphical element, upon selection, renders a text label of a related item in a corresponding segment.
FIG. 14 is a flowchart 1100 indicating process steps for embodiments of the present invention. At process step 1150, a service request is received (e.g. by the collaboration server). At process step 1152, a skill set is determined for the service request. This can include performing a computerized natural language analysis to extract keywords, perform disambiguation, context, and/or other processes. As an example, a service request containing phrases such as“web development” or“test” may be interpreted as elements of a desired skill set put forth by the received service request. At process step 1154 a query is performed based on the skill set. The query may search one or more professional databases, social media systems, and/or other search engines to find businesses and/or individuals that may align well with the desired skill set. At process step 1156, a result set is received from the one or more professional databases, social media systems, and/or other search engines. At process step 1158 the result set is ranked. The ranking can be performed on a variety of criteria, including, but not limited to geographic location, hourly rate, previous project and/or employment experience, number of followers on social media, number of blog posts, languages spoken, and/or education level. In process step 1160, a search response is generated, including the ranked result set, which may include one or more individuals and/or businesses that can meet the criteria and skill set from the service request. Such an example of a response is shown at 706 in FIG. 10A. At process step 1162 an offer is generated. The offer may be initiated by the same party that initiated the service request. In process step 1164 an offer response is generated. This can be initiated by the party that received the offer. In embodiments, the offer is for services of a knowledge worker, amateur, or firm.
FIG. 13 is a flowchart 1200 indicating process steps for additional embodiments of the present invention. In process step 1250, a mixed reality view is rendered in a mobile device. At process step 1252, one or more virtual information points are rendered on the mixed reality display. An example of this is shown in FIG. 11 A. In embodiments, each virtual information point may be stored in the collaboration server or a connected database accessible by the collaboration server. Each virtual information point may have a plurality of data fields associated with it, including a geographic location (e.g. latitude, longitude, altitude, and/or street address). When a geolocation receiver within a mobile device identifies a current position within a predetermined distance from the location of the virtual information point, and the mobile device is oriented in the appropriate direction based on the travel path, internal compass information, and or other information, virtual information points that match a given criteria (e.g. job offers, office rentals, etc.) are rendered. In process step 1254, a selection of a virtual information point is received. In embodiments, this may be performed by a user tapping, swiping, or otherwise selecting the virtual information point. At process step 1256, a notification is rendered, providing additional information regarding the virtual information point. Examples of a rendered notification are shown in FIG. 11C and FIG. 12C.
FIG. 16 is a flowchart 1300 indicating process steps for additional embodiments of the present invention. At process step 1350, a search query is received. At process step 1352, a search is performed using one or more search engines, social media sites, and/or other suitable sources. In process step 1354, a result set is received from the search. In process step 1356, the result set is ranked based on various criteria to indicate relevance. In process step 1358, the result set items may optionally be classified by category. In process step 1360, a circular shaped graphical element is rendered for the results. Examples of this are shown in FIG. 13A - 13D. In process step 1362, a circular shaped graphical element selection is received. In embodiments, this may be received by tapping, swiping, or otherwise selecting the circular shaped graphical element. In process step 1364 a text label is rendered. An example of this is shown at 1046 in FIG. 13C. In process step 1366, corresponding segments are populated with text information. An example of this is shown in FIG. 13D with 1068 indicated as one of the populated segments.
