System and Method for Intelligently Determining User Preferences and Responding Thereto

Abstract

The present invention provides a system and method by which a thought can be (a) entered, (b) interpreted through combination of an adaptive thought-associative dictionary and user knowledge, (c) processed with an analytical toolset, (d) presented back to the user, (e) stored, and (f) updated. Through feedback the present invention attempts to track the user with increasing accuracy, in the context of a non-stationary environment. The present invention fully associates these elements through use of a database such that post processing can be readily applied to any element, or can be applied as the ability to do such post-processing is developed or improves. Furthermore, the present invention defines a mathematical construct and relationship to the thought environment such that many forms of processing can be realized.

         2 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the marketing information includes at least one of a coupon or links to a website. 
     
     
         3 . The computer system of  claim 1  wherein the association is user defined. 
     
     
         4 . The computer system of  claim 1  wherein the definition is stored in a personal dictionary within the computer memory. 
     
     
         5 . The computer system of  claim 1  wherein the definition is stored in a collective dictionary within the computer memory. 
     
     
         6 . The computer system of  claim 1  wherein the emotion value represents a positive or negative strength of emotion or a neutral value for the emotion. 
     
     
         7 . The computer system of  claim 1  wherein the emotion value is selected from a group consisting of hate/love, sorrow/joy, and anger/peacefulness. 
     
     
         8 . The computer system of  claim 1  wherein the state value is selected from a group consisting of a beneficial state and a detrimental state. 
     
     
         9 . The computer system of  claim 1  wherein a first state includes a first state value representing how much a dreamer feels in control of events, a second state includes a second state value representing physical well-being strength of the dreamer, and a third state includes a third state value representing the dreamer's spiritual state strength in terms of light. 
     
     
         10 . The computer system of  claim 1  wherein the processor is further provided for recalling an existing thought interpretation set from computer memory. 
     
     
         11 . The computer system of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of portions of the thought entry is at least one of an audible recording, a visual recording, a multimedia format, or a textual entry. 
     
     
         12 . The computer system of  claim 1  wherein the processor is further provided for creating at least one definition and storing the created definition in the computer memory. 
     
     
         13 . The computer system of  claim 1  wherein the processor is further provided for recalling an existing thought from the computer memory to create the plurality of portions of the thought entry. 
     
     
         14 . The computer system of  claim 1  wherein the processor is further provided for associating the thought interpretation set with additional definition information. 
     
     
         15 . The computer system of  claim 1  wherein the processor is further provided for updating a definition wherein the updated plurality of definitions are the state value of at least one of the user's present relative conscious state or present subconscious state. 
     
     
         16 . A computer system for interpreting a thought, the system comprising:
 one or more computer memories; and,   one or more processors for receiving a plurality of portions of a thought entry and for storing the plurality of portions of the thought entry in the one or more computer memories, wherein the one or more processors are also for associating each of the plurality of portions of the thought entry with respective definitions or vectors and for storing the associations in the one or more computer memories, wherein each of the definitions or vectors represents at least one of an emotion value and/or a state value associated with each of the respective plurality of the portions of the thought entry, wherein the emotion values and/or the state values represent the emotions and/or states of the respective plurality of portions of the thought entry over time, wherein the one or more processors are also for receiving or creating a thought interpretation set, and for performing at least one of storing, uploading, downloading, emailing, or electronically transmitting the thought interpretation set, and wherein the one or more processors are further provided for associating at least one of advertising or marketing information to the thought interpretation set.   
     
     
         17 . The computer system of  claim 16  wherein the emotion value represents a positive or negative strength of emotion or a neutral value for the emotion. 
     
     
         18 . The computer system of  claim 16  wherein the emotion value is selected from a group consisting of hate/love, sorrow/joy, and anger/peacefulness. 
     
     
         19 . The computer system of  claim 16  wherein the state value is selected from a group consisting of a beneficial state and a detrimental state. 
     
     
         20 . A computer system for receiving and responding to requests to interpret a thought, the system comprising:
 one or more computer memories storing for receiving a plurality of portions of a thought entry and for storing the plurality of portions of the thought entry, wherein each of the plurality of portions of the thought entry are associated with respective definitions or vectors and wherein the one or more computer memories storing the associations, wherein each of the definitions or vectors represents at least one of an emotion value and/or a state value associated with each of the respective plurality of the portions of the thought entry, wherein the emotion values and/or the state values represent the emotions and/or states of the respective plurality of portions of the thought entry over time; and,   one or more processors for receiving or creating a thought interpretation set, and for performing at least one of storing, uploading, downloading, emailing, or electronically transmitting the thought interpretation set, and wherein the one or more processors are further provided for associating at least one of advertising or marketing information to the thought interpretation set.
