User managed method for capturing and pricing data items to develop a salable digital persona

摘要

A method for a user to capture, configure, store, link, exchange, and set trading parameters (prices and other exchange values) for data drawn from the user's personal data file combined with other user generated data; including data resulting from the user's interactions with file creation software, data items generated from user interactions with electronic devices and components, and data automatically generated by electronic components and devices owned by a user. In combination, these combined data sources coupled with a personal data file form a digital persona or a “digital doppelganger” that may be traded or sold or retained as private in a data marketplace.

1. A method comprising a first user instructing an electronic device configured to implement computer readable code to capture at least one interactive variable of said first user as said first user interacts with said electronic device, wherein said first user:
invokes computer readable code to capture upon said electronic device of said first user at least one of said interactive variable; invokes computer readable code to convert at least one of said captured interactive variable into at least one captured data item in a computer readable format; accepts from said first user a link of said at least one captured data item to at least one data item in a personal data file of said first user; invokes computer readable code to post said at least one captured data item linked to at least one data item in a personal data file of said first user to a data store upon said electronic device of said first user; accepts from said first user assignment of at least one trade parameter for said captured data item linked to said at least one data item linked in a personal data file of said first user; and posts a record to said data store of said captured data item linked to said personal data file of said first user and said at least one price.
