Operator, device and platform independent aggregation, cross-platform translation, enablement and distribution of user activity catalogs

摘要

Implementations relate to generating an operator, device, and platform-independent aggregation, cross-platform translation, enablement, and distribution of user activity catalogs. Users of a cellular telephone, a personal computer, or other devices or services can register to a database that collects transaction and other activity for the user. The user can designate one or more groups of users with whom to share collective activity data. The activity feeds can include recommendations, transactions, and other information generated when group members conduct retail or other activity. In one example, the activity feeds transmitted can be automatically translated and configured based on service operator and/or recipient device type. In another example, a user visiting a Website can be presented with a context-sensitive drop-down list of transactions conducted at that site by members of user's designated group(s) in the past. The platform permits users to mutually and transparently suggest products, services, or content to each other.

主权项

1. A method of generating content feeds from a shared database of user activity, comprising:
capturing a user-specific catalog of user activity information for each user in a set of users, wherein each user-specific catalog of user activity information includes commercial information that characterizes services and/or products that have been transacted by a user associated with the user-specific catalog or services and/or products that are of interest to the user; aggregating user-specific catalogs of user activity information for the set of users in a database; selectively extracting, from the aggregated user-specific catalogs based on a designation of a product or service description from a first user and a context of a user device of the first user, user activity information that matches the product or service description from the commercial information of one or more user-specific catalogs of one or more other users that belong to at least one group of users in the set of users, wherein the selectively extracting comprises providing a context-dependent selectable menu of the user-specific catalogs within the aggregated user-specific catalogs activated by navigation to a site associated with a user-specific catalog of user activity information of the first user; translating the selectively extracted user activity information into a plurality of product or service recommendations for delivery to the first user; filtering the plurality of product or service recommendations based on a location of the first user; and distributing a content feed representing at least a portion of the user-specific catalog of user activity information of the first user to other users in the set of users based on preferences of the first user.
