Personal Daemon Interaction through Escalating Disclosure

摘要

Systems and methods of a personal daemon, executing as a process on a mobile computing device, for providing personal assistant to an associated user is presented. While the personal daemon maintains personal information corresponding to the associated user, the personal daemon is configured to not share the personal information of the associated user with any other entity other than the associated user except under conditions of rules established by the associated user. One such condition is when encountering the presence of another personal daemon associated with another user. Upon encountering the other personal daemon, an iterative process of escalating discover and/or disclosure is commenced to determine whether the associated user of the personal daemon would be interested in engaging with the user associated with the other personal daemon.

1. A mobile computing device configured to discover information of another person to enable interaction with that other person, the computing device comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the processor executes instructions to discover information of the other person, and further comprising:
a personal daemon configured to:
encounter a second personal daemon, the second personal daemon being unknown to the personal daemon and being associated with the other person;repeatedly:
identify a set of data corresponding to the user associated with the personal daemon;exchange data with the unknown personal daemon, wherein exchanging data with the unknown personal daemon comprises providing the identified set of data to the unknown personal daemon and receiving a set of data from the unknown personal daemon;evaluate the received set of data from the unknown personal daemon; anddetermine whether to continue exchanging data with the unknown personal daemon according to the evaluation; andenable interaction of the associated user with the user associated with the second personal daemon according to the evaluations of the received sets of data from the second personal daemon; wherein the steps of identifying, exchanging, evaluating, and determining are repeated at least twice; and wherein each successive repetition of identifying the set of data corresponding to the user associated with the personal daemon includes data more specific to the associated user.
