In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof In the drawings, similar symbols typically identify similar components, unless context dictates otherwise. The illustrative embodiments described in the detailed description, drawings, and claims are not meant to be limiting. Other embodiments may be utilized, and other changes may be made, without departing from the spirit or scope of the subject matter presented here.
A recent trend that has enjoyed explosive popularity in the computing/communication field is to electronically record one's daily activities, behaviors, thoughts, beliefs, traits, physical or mental states, physical characteristics, and other aspects of the person's everyday life onto an open diary. One place where such open diaries are maintained is at social networking sites commonly known as “blogs” where one or more users may report or post every aspect of their daily lives. In brief, an “aspect,” as will be referred to herein, may be in reference to any particular act, behavior, characteristic, user state or status, belief, and so forth, associated with a user (e.g., a person including, for example, a network user such as a blogger or a social networking user). The process of reporting or posting blog entries is commonly referred to as “blogging.” A newer type of blogging that has become very popular in recent times is microblogging, otherwise known as “twittering” or “tweeting.” In microblogging, each of the microblogs that are posted are typically relatively short posts or entries, usually not more than 140 characters long.
Other types of social networking sites may also allow users to maintain open diaries and to allow users to easily update their personal information. Such updates are typically made via, for example, social networking status reports otherwise known simply as “status reports.” These social networking sites allow a user to report or post for others to view the latest status or other aspects related to the user.
Another recent tread in social networking is to employ one or more sensors to detect and report on a wide variety of aspects associated with a user. Examples of sensors that may be used for such purposes vary widely, ranging from traditional devices that can detect and report on physiological parameters such as heart rate or blood pressure, to sensors that can detect certain user behaviors or activities such as toilet usage. Although a wealth of personal information provided through log entries (e.g., microblogs, status reports, sensor data, and so forth) are now available through these social networking sites, it is only recently has there been any effort to exploit such potentially useful data.
In various embodiments, methods, systems, circuitry, and computer program products are provided that may facilitate in the development of one or more personalized plans designed to facilitate an end user to achieve one or more target outcomes when one or more emulatable aspects indicated by the one or more personalized plans are emulated. The development of the one or more personalized plans may be by initially providing one or more relevant reported aspects that have been determined to be associated with one or more source users (e.g., model subjects who may have been previously identified) and that have been determined to be relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes. The one or more personalized plans may then be developed by including into the one or more personalized plans one or more emulatable aspects that corresponds to the one or more relevant reported aspects. The methods, systems, circuitry, and computer program products may be implemented by a variety of computing/communication devices including, for example, by a network device such as a server (e.g., network servers) or a local client device.
In some cases, the development of the one or more personalized plans may be prompted when, for example, a request is received that at least identifies the one or more source users. For example, suppose an end user (or a third party) observes that a particular source user (or a group of source users) has certain desirable traits or characteristics (e.g., target outcomes) that the end user would like to have. In order to acquire such desirable characteristics or target outcomes, the end user may submit a request for a personalized plan to achieve such outcomes. In some cases, the request may only include data that identifies the source user having the desired traits and without identifying the desired traits (e.g., without indicating the target outcomes). As will be further discussed below, various techniques may be employed in order to provide the identity of the source user who may be a complete stranger to the end user (e.g., the end user may have only noticed or come across the source user at a gym or at a doctor's office) without being intrusive. Upon obtaining the identity of the source user, one or more relevant reported aspects that have been determined to be associated with the identified source user and that are determined to be relevant to achieving the target outcomes are provided.
In some embodiments, the one or more relevant reported aspects may be provided by, for example, identifying or finding the one or more relevant reported aspects from a plurality of reported aspects that may or may not include both relevant and non-relevant reported aspects that may or may not be associated with the identified source user. Note that a “reported aspect” may be any indication (e.g., in the form of electronic data such as text data, numerical data, image data, digital data, analog data, etc.) that indicates an occurrence of an aspect (e.g., behavior, act, trait, physical state, mental state, social state, declaration, belief, or any other facet) associated with a particular source user and that has been reported. Various sources may be searched in order to find the one or more relevant reported aspects. For example, a memory (e.g., mass storage, volatile memory, non-volatile memory, and so forth) and/or a wireless and/or wired network may be searched for the one or more reported aspects that are relevant to achieving the target outcomes and that are associated with the identified source user.
Each reported aspect that is determined to be associated with the identified source user and that have been determined to be relevant to achieving the target outcomes may have been at least originally reported by, for example, one or more source users, by one or more sensing devices, and/or by one or more third parties. In some cases, at least a portion of the one or more relevant reported aspects that are found to be associated with the identified source user and that are found to be relevant to the achievement of the target outcomes may have been reported through social networking entries (e.g., microblog entry or status report).
A number of different approaches may be employed in order to provide the one or more relevant reported aspects (e.g., reported aspects that are associated with the identified source user and that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes). For example, in some cases, an operation to provide the one or more relevant reported aspects may involve initially finding or identifying reported aspects that are determined to be at least associated with the identified source user. Once, one or more reported aspects that are determined to be at least associated with at least the one or more source users have been found or identified, one or more reported aspects that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes may be identified from the one or more reported aspects that have been determined to be at least associated with the identified source user.
The “relevancy” of a reported aspect with respect to achieving the target outcomes may be based on one or more factors, which for purposes of this discussion, will be referred to as “relevancy factors.” Some relevancy factors that may be determinative in determining whether a reported aspect is relevant includes, for example, whether the reported aspect is a type of aspect that has been indicated by, for example, the end user, a source user, or a third party as being relevant (e.g., cause) for achieving the desired one or more target outcomes. For example, if an end user is interested as to how a particular source user was able to have a very calm temperament, and the end user believes that the source user's calm temperament (e.g., target outcome) is the result of the source user's dietary behavior, then only reported aspects relating to the dietary behaviors of the identified source user may be considered “relevant.”
Other relevancy factors may also be factors in determining whether a reported aspect is relevant to the achievement of a target outcome. For example, determining whether a reported aspect indicates an aspect that occurred proximate to the occurrence of a reported aspect that corresponds to a target outcome. Note that when the identified source user has achieved the particular target outcome, the achievement of the target outcome may be indicated in the form of a reported aspect. As an illustration, suppose a source user has lost 30 pounds of body weight, then the weight loss, which may be the target outcome of an end user, may be reported in the form of a reported aspect. The end user, upon observing the weight loss of the source user, may indicate that she is only interested in the exercise activities of the source user because the end user believes that the weight loss was due to the source user's exercise activities. Thus, under this criteria, all reported aspects that are related to exercise activities of the source user may be deemed relevant.
However, not all reported aspects associated with the source user and that are related to exercise activities may be relevant to the achievement of the target outcome if they occurred well before (or after) the occurrence (achievement) of the target outcome. Thus, in some embodiments, a determination may be made as to whether an aspect indicated by a potentially relevant reported aspect occurred within some predefined time period from the occurrence of a reported aspect that corresponds to the target outcome. The predefined time period described above may be based upon the type of target outcome being sought and/or may be provided by the end user, the source user, or by a third party source.
For example, in the above weight loss example, the end user may only be interested in reported aspect (e.g., dietary and/or exercise behaviors) that occurred within one month (e.g., predefined time period) of the occurrences of the reported aspect that corresponds to the target outcome (e.g., body weight loss of 30 pounds). Based on this criteria, only those reported aspects that occurred within one month of the occurrence of the reported aspect (e.g., 30 pounds of body weight loss) that corresponds to the target outcome and that are associated with the identified source user may qualify as being relevant to the achievement of the one or more target outcomes. Of course, and alternatively, third party sources (e.g., content provider or a publication such as research article) may provide the predefined time period based on the type of personalized plan being developed.
Note that a reported aspect that is found to be associated with the source user of interest (e.g., the source user who has been identified by, for example, the end user as having achieved a particular target outcome) and that is found to satisfy a particular relevancy factor may not necessary be a “relevant reported aspect” for achieving the target outcome. That is, there may be several relevancy factors that may need to be satisfied in order for a reported aspect to be determined as a “relevant reported aspect” that is associated with one or more particular source users and that are relevant for achieving one or more target outcomes.
In some embodiments, a personalized plan may merely be a collection of one or more emulatable aspects. An emulatable aspect may be an indication of any behavior, act, trait, physical state, mental state, social state, declaration, belief, or any other facet that may be emulated in order to achieve one or more target outcomes. In cases where a personalized plan includes multiple emulatable aspects, the personalized plan may or may not define a relationship or relationships (e.g., temporal, specific time, or spatial relationships) between the multiple emulatable aspects included in the personalized plan. In some cases, a personalized plan may also indicate one or more emulatable intermediate outcomes that may be associated with the target outcomes.
For example, if a personalized plan includes a plurality of emulatable aspects, one or more emulatable intermediate outcomes may also be included in the personalized plan that may represent one or more outcomes that are preferably or ideally achieved before the target outcome is achieved. In some cases, the emulatable intermediate outcomes that may be included in a personalized plan may be based on, for example, one or more reported aspects (e.g., intermediate outcomes that have been reported). By including one or more emulatable intermediate outcomes into a personalized plan, an end user may be able to better monitor his/her progress towards achieving the one or more target outcomes by comparing his/her actual intermediate results with the one or more emulatable intermediate outcomes that may be included in a personalized plan,
A “target outcome” may be any type of goal or desired result that may be sought by an end user or by a third party. Examples of target outcomes include, for example, health-related outcomes such as weight loss or improved cardiovascular conditioning, athletic outcomes such as developing a particular athletic skill including being able to pitch a curve ball or achieving a particular golf handicap, physiological outcomes such as reduced blood pressure or blood glucose levels, social outcomes such as obtaining membership into an elite social club or attaining a particular social status, mental state outcomes such as achieving certain level of calmness or happiness, interpersonal or relational outcomes such as having lots of friends or developing skill to make friends, employment outcomes such as being promoted or developing certain work skills, academic or intellectual outcomes, and so forth.
A source user may be any real or fictitious person who may be associated with one or more reported aspects. In some cases, a source user may be an actual (real) person who may be the source or is associated with one or more reported aspects. In other cases, a source user may be a fictional person such as a composite of multiple “actual” source users. For example, reported aspects indicating actual aspects of a plurality of real source users may be compiled and processed (e.g., normalized or averaged out) in order to create such a fictional source user.

In some embodiments, in response to receiving the request 12, the server 10 may provide one or more relevant reported aspects that are associated with the one or more source users 2* and that are relevant to achieving one or more target outcomes associated with the one or more personalized plans 16, the providing of the one or more relevant reported aspects being based, at least in part, on the one or more relevant reported aspects' association with the one or more source users 2*. There are at least four ways or paths that the server 10 may follow in various alternative embodiments in order to provide the one or more relevant reported aspects that are associated with the one or more source users 2* and that are relevant to achieving one or more target outcomes associated with the one or more personalized plans 16.
In the first path, the server 10 may provide the one or more relevant reported aspects by selectively acquiring (e.g., via the wireless network and/or wired network 50) reported aspects 15 that are associated with the one or more source users 2* and that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes based on one or more relevancy factors (e.g., relevant with respect to satisfying one or more relevancy factors). In other words, selectively acquiring the relevant reported aspects rather than, for example, acquiring randomly reported aspects that may or may not be relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes.
In the second path, the server 10 may first selectively acquire (e.g., via the wireless network and/or wired network 50) one or more reported aspects 14 that are at least associated with the one or more source users 2*. After acquiring the one or more reported aspects 14 that are at least associated with the one or more source users 2*, the one or more relevant reported aspects that are associated with the one or more source users 2* and that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes (e.g., relevant with respect to one or more relevancy factors) may be identified (e.g., finding or determining) from the one or more reported aspects 14 that have been acquired.
In the third path, the server 10 may first selectively acquire (e.g., via the wireless network and/or wired network 50) one or more reported aspects 15 that are associated with the one or more source users 2* and that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes based on (e.g., with respect to) one or more relevancy factors. After acquiring the one or more reported aspects 15, the one or more relevant reported aspects may be provided by identifying from the one or more reported aspects 15, one or more reported aspects that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes based (e.g., with respect to) on a second one or more relevancy factors.
In the fourth path, it is presumed that a plurality of reported aspects 17 is already in the possession of or is available to the server 10, where the plurality of reported aspects 17 may or may not include both relevant reported aspects that are associated with the one or more source users 2* and that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes, and reported aspects that may not be associated with the one or more source users 2* and/or that are not relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes. Under such circumstances, the server 10 may be designed to provide the one or more relevant reported aspects by identifying from the plurality of reported aspects 17 one or more reported aspects that are associated with the one or more source users 2* and that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes (e.g., relevant with respect to one or more relevancy factors). In some embodiments, the plurality of reported aspects 17 may be stored in a memory 116.
Note that in some embodiments, the providing of the one or more relevant reported aspects by the server 10 may include the server 10 both identifying the one or more relevant reported aspects in memory 116 and searching for the one or more relevant reported aspects via the wireless network and/or wired network 50. That is, reported aspects (both relevant reported aspects and not relevant aspects) may be found throughout the wireless network and/or wired network 50 and may, in some cases, be found in a memory 116.
If the one or more reported aspects 14 or the one or more reported aspects 15 are to be acquired by the server 10, such as when the server 10 follows the first, the second, or the third path, then the server 10 may be designed to transmit one or more solicitations 13 that may be designed to solicit for the one or more reported aspects 14 or solicit for the one or more reported aspects 15. In some embodiments, the one or more solicitations 13 may be transmitted to one or more local source user devices 20*, one or more third parties 6, one or more sensing devices 40, and/or one or more network servers 60 via the wireless network and/or wired network 50. After transmitting the one or more solicitations 13, the server 10 may be designed to receive the one or more reported aspects 14 that are at least associated with the one or more source users 2* or the one or more reported aspects 15 that are associated with the one or more source users 2* and that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes based on one or more relevancy factors.
After receiving the one or more reported aspects 14 or the one or more reported aspects 15, the server 10 may be designed to identify from the one or more reported aspects 14 or from the one or more reported aspects 15, one or more reported aspects that are relevant for achieving the one or more target outcomes with respect to one or more relevancy factors (e.g., such as the case when the server 10 follows the third path, and the server 10 identifies the one or more reported aspects that are relevant with respect to a second one or more relevancy factors)
In some alternative embodiments, the relevant reported aspects that are associated with the one or more source users 2* and that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes may be part of a plurality of reported aspects 17 that are already in the possession of or already accessible to the server 10 (e.g., such as the case in the fourth path). In such cases, the plurality of reported aspects 17 may or may not include both reported aspects that are associated with the one or more source users 2* and that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes (e.g., relevant reported aspects), and reported aspects that may not be associated with the one or more source users 2* and/or that are not relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes. In some cases, the plurality of reported aspects 17 may be stored in a memory 116.
Once the one or more relevant reported aspects that are associated with the one or more source users 2* and that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes have been provided (e.g., as acquired and/or identified via the first, the second, the third, or the fourth path), the server 10 may be designed to develop one or more personalized plans 16 that are designed to facilitate an end user 4 to achieve the one or more target outcomes when one or more emulatable aspects indicated by the one or more personalized plans 16 are emulated, the development of the one or more personalized plans 16 being based, at least in part, on the providing of the one or more relevant reported aspects.
In some implementations, a personalized plan 16 may merely be a collection of one or more emulatable aspects, while in other implementations, a personalized plan 16 may define the specific relationships (e.g. spatial or time relationships) between emulatable aspects. In some implementations, a personalized plan 16 may include other information such as emulatable intermediate outcomes to facilitate determining, for example, how well an end user 4 is progressing towards achieving one or more target outcomes of the personalized plan 16 when the one or more emulatable aspects included in the personalized plan 16 are being emulated. In some implementations, the server 10 may then be designed to present the developed one or more personalized plans 16 to the end user 4 (via the local end user device 30), to one or more network servers 60, and/or to one or more third parties 6.
The server 10 as illustrated in
The relevant reported aspect provision module 102 may be configured to, among other things, provide one or more relevant reported aspects based, at least in part, on the one or more relevant reported aspects' association with one or more source users 2*, the one or more relevant reported aspects to be provided being relevant to achieving one or more target outcomes. The personalized plan development module 104 may be configured to, among other things, develop one or more personalized plans 16 based, at least in part, on the one or more relevant reported aspects, the one or more personalized plans 16 to be developed being designed to facilitate an end user 4 to achieve the one or more target outcomes when one or more emulatable aspects indicated by the one or more personalized plans 16 are emulated. The presentation module 106 may be designed to present (e.g., transmit via the wireless network and/or wired network 50 to the local end user device 30, to one or more local source user devices 20*, to one or more network servers 60, and/or to one or more third parties 6) the one or more personalized plans 16 that are developed. A more detailed discussion relating to the relevant reported aspect provision module 102, the personalized plan development module 104, the presentation module 106, and their sub-modules, will be provided below with respect to the various operational flows to be described herein.
The memory. 116 may be designed to store various data including a plurality of reported aspects 17 that may include one or more reported aspects that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes and/or that are associated with the one or more source users 2*. In some cases, the reported aspects 17 stored in memory 116 may include reported aspects that are not relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes and/or that are not associated with the one or more source users 2*. Other types of data may be stored in the memory 116 including, for example, one or more end user relevancy indications 142 (e.g., one or more indications that indicate the types of reported or emulatable aspects that an end user 4 has an interest in or believes is relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes), one or more end user limitations 143 (e.g., limitations such as contextual limitations, physical limitations, personal limitations, and so forth, associated with the end user 4 that prevent one or more emulatable aspects from being emulated), and/or one or more source user relevancy indications 144 (e.g., one or more indications provided by a source user 2* that indicate at least which types of reported aspects are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes).
In some cases, the memory 116 may also include, for example, one or more third party source relevancy indications 145 (e.g., one or more indications provided by one or more third party sources such as one or more third parties 6 that indicate at least which types of reported aspects are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes), one or more predefined time period indications 146 (e.g., one or more indications that indicate at least one time period such as a time increment or window, a reported aspect being relevant for achieving at least one target outcome only if the reported aspect indicate an aspect that occurred within the at least one time period from an occurrence of the target outcome as successfully achieved by, for example, a source user 2*), and/or one or more applications 140 (e.g., a text messaging application, an instant messaging application, an email application, a voice recognition system, a Web 1.0 application, and/or Web 2.0 application to facilitate in communicating via, for example, the World Wide Web).

In the same implementations or different implementations, the relevant reported aspect provision module 102* may include a relevant aspect acquisition module 204*that is configured to, among other things, acquire one or more reported aspects 14* that are at least associated with one or more source users 2** who may have been previously identified or specified.

The reported aspect acquisition module 204* may further include one or more sub-modules in various alternative implementations. For example, in some implementations, the reported aspect acquisition module 204* may include a memory searching module 206* that is configured to, among other things, search a memory 116* for one or more reported aspects 14* that are at least associated with the one or more source users 2** or for one or more reported aspects 15* that are associated with the one or more source users 2** and that are relevant to achieving one or more target outcomes based on (e.g., with respect to) one or more relevancy factors.

b illustrates particular implementations of the personalized plan development module 104* (e.g., the personalized plan development module 104, the personalized plan development module 104′, and the personalized plan development module 104″) of
In various implementations, the personalized plan development module 104* may include one or more of an emulatable aspect inclusion module 220*, a relationship defining module 222*, an emulatable intermediate outcome inclusion module 223*, a limitation compliance determination module 224* (which may further include a non-compliance notification module 226* and/or a personalized plan modification module 228*), and/or a plausible determination module 230* (which may further include an action module 232* that may further include a not plausible notification module 234* and/or personalized plan modification module 236*).
The emulatable aspect inclusion module 220* may be configured to include into each of the one or more personalized plans 16* to be developed one or more emulatable aspects that correspond to the one or more relevant reported aspects provided by the relevant reported aspect provision module 102*. The relationship defining module 222* may be configured to define in each of the one or more personalized plans 16* to be developed one or more relationships (e.g., spatial, temporal, and/or specific time relationships) between the plurality of emulatable aspects that may be included in each of the one or more personalized plans 16*. The emulatable intermediate outcome inclusion module 223* may be configured to, among other things, include into at least one of the one or more personalized plans 16* to be developed one or more emulatable intermediate outcomes (e.g., lower systolic BP pressure by 10 mmHg) related to the one or more target outcomes (e.g., lower systolic BP pressure by 20 mmHg) of the at least one of the one or more personalized plans 16*.
The limitation compliance determination module 224* may be configured to determine whether the one or more emulatable aspects to be included in the one or more personalized plans 16 complies with one or more limitations associated with the end user 4*, and if not compliant, execute one or more actions. Various types of actions may be executed if a determination is made of non-compliance. For example, in some implementations, the limitation compliance determination module 224* may include a non-compliance notification module 226* that is configured to notify (e.g., notifying by transmitting a notification or by indicating via a user interface 120*) at least one of the end user 4* and a third party 6* regarding non-compliance of the one or more emulatable aspects in response to a determination of non-compliance with the one or more limitations associated with the end user 4*. Other types of actions may also be executed. For example, in some implementations, the limitation compliance determination module 224* may include a personalized plan modification module 228* that is configured to modify the one or more personalized plans 16* including replacing one or more emulatable aspects that have been determined not to be in compliance with the one or more limitations associated with the end user 4* with one or more replacement emulatable aspects that does comply with the one or more limitations associated with the end user 4*.
The plausible determination module 230*, in contrast to the limitation compliance determination module 224*, may be configured to determine whether at least one of the one or more emulatable aspects to be included in the one or more personalized plans 16* is a plausible aspect that has been successfully emulated by one or more third parties 6* (e.g., other end users), and if not plausible, execute one or more actions. Various types of actions may be executed if a determination is made of non-compliance.
For example, in some implementations, the plausible determination module 230* may include a not plausible notification module 234* that is configured to notify, in response to determining that the at least one of the one or more emulatable aspects to be included in the one or more personalized plans 16* is not a plausible aspect, at least one of the end user 4* and a third party 6* regarding the determination that the at least one of the one or more emulatable aspects to be included in the one or more personalized plans 16* is not a plausible aspect. Note that a plausible aspect is an aspect that has been successfully emulated by one or more third parties 6* in order to, for example in some cases, achieve the one or more target outcomes.
Other types of actions may also be executed when one or more emulatable aspects that may be included in the one or more personalized plans 16* have been determined to be not plausible. For example, in some implementations, the plausible determination module 230* may include a personalized plan modification module 236* that is configured to modify, in response to a determination that at least one of the one or more emulatable aspects included in the one or more personalized plans 16* is not a plausible aspect, at least one of the one or more personalized plans 16* by replacing the at least one of the one or more emulatable aspects determined to be not a plausible aspect with at least one replacement emulatable aspect that is a plausible aspect that has been successfully emulated by one or more third parties 6*.

In some implementations, the one or more sensors 240* may include devices that can detect activities of a user (e.g., a source user 2**) such as a pedometer, a toilet monitoring system (e.g., to monitor bowel movements), exercise machine sensors, an accelerometer to measure a person's movements which may indicate specific activities, and so forth.

In any event, after a start operation, the operational flow 500 may move to a relevant reported aspect providing operation 502 for providing one or more relevant reported aspects associated with one or more source users that are relevant to achieving one or more target outcomes, the providing of the one or more relevant reported aspects being based, at least in part, on the one or more relevant reported aspects' association with the one or more source users. For instance, and as an illustration, the relevant reported aspect provision module 102* (e.g., the relevant reported aspect provision module 102, the relevant reported aspect provision module 102′, or the relevant reported aspect provision module 102″) of the server 10 of
Note that in various implementations, provision of the one or more relevant reported aspects may not depend on the association of the one or more relevant reported aspects with the one or more target outcomes. Rather, such an operation for providing the one or more relevant reported aspects may only depend on the association of the one or more relevant reported aspects with the one or more source users 2** who may be identified by, for example, the end user 4* or by a third party 6*. In various implementations, and as will be further described herein, the one or more source users 2** may be identified by various means including by name, user name, biometrics data, image data, audio data, location data, and so forth.
Operational flow 500 may also include a personalized plan development operation 504 for developing one or more personalized plans designed to facilitate an end user to achieve the one or more target outcomes when one or more emulatable aspects indicated by the one or more personalized plans are emulated, the development of the one or more personalized plans being based, at least in part, on the providing. For instance, the personalized plan development module 104* of the server 10 of
In various implementations, the relevant reported aspect providing operation 502 of
Operation 602 may, in turn, include an operation 603 for identifying one or more reported aspects that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes from the one or more reported aspects that are at least associated with the one or more source users in various implementations. For instance, the relevant reported aspect identification module 202* of the server 10 of
Note that the one or more reported aspects 14* that are at least associated with the one or more source user 2** (e.g., the one or more reported aspects that the one or more reported aspects that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes are identified from) may include both reported aspects that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes and reported aspects that are not relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes. Thus, in some implementations operation 603 may include an operation 604 for identifying the one or more reported aspects that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes from at least a first one or more reported aspects that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes and a second one or more reported aspects that are not relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes as depicted in
The identification of the one or more reported aspects (i.e., relevant reported aspects) that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcome from the one or more reported aspects that are at least associated with the one or more source users 2** may involve determining which of the one or more reported aspects that are at least associated with the one or more source users 2** are relevant with respect to one or more relevancy factors. As will be referred to herein, a relevancy factor may be any basis for determining whether a reported aspect is relevant to achieving one or more target outcomes. For example, in some implementations, the operation 603 for identifying the one or more reported aspects that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes may include an operation 605 for identifying the one or more reported aspects that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes from the one or more reported aspects that are at least associated with the one or more source users based, at least in part, on one or more relevancy factors that at least identifies one or more aspect types that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes as depicted in
The identification of the one or more reported aspects that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes from the one or more reported aspects that are at least associated with the one or more source users 2** may be based on a variety of relevancy factors. For example, in some implementations, the operation 605 for identifying the one or more reported aspects based on one or more relevancy factors may include an operation 606 for identifying from the one or more reported aspects that are at least associated with the one or more source users one or more reported aspects that belong to one or more aspect types that are of interest to the end user as depicted in
In the same or different implementations, operation 605 may include an operation 607 for identifying from the one or more reported aspects that are at least associated with the one or more source users one or more reported aspects that belong to one or more aspect types that have been indicated by the one or more source users as being relevant to the achievement of the one or more target outcomes as depicted in
In the same or different implementations, operation 605 may include an operation 608 for identifying from the one or more reported aspects that are at least associated with the one or more source users one or more reported aspects that belong to one or more aspect types that have been indicated by one or more third party sources as being relevant to the achievement of the one or more target outcomes as depicted in
In the same or different implementations, operation 605 may include an operation 609 for identifying from the one or more reported aspects that are at least associated with the one or more source users one or more reported aspects that indicate one or more aspects that occurred within one or more predefined time periods, respectively, from one or more occurrences of one or more reported aspects that correspond to the one or more target outcomes as depicted in
That is, not all reported aspects associated with the one or more source users 2** and that may be relevant with respect to at least certain relevancy factors may actually be relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes if the reported aspects indicate aspects that, time-wise, occurred remotely from occurrence of the one or more target outcomes as successfully achieved by the one or more source users 2**. For example, reported aspects 15* that are associated with the one or more source users 2** and that are relevant based on certain relevancy factors may, nevertheless, not be relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes if they occurred well before (or well after) the achievement of the one or more target outcomes (e.g., as represented by one or more reported aspects that corresponds to the one or more target outcomes) by the one or more source users 2**. Thus, a reported aspect may, in some cases, be relevant to the achievement of the one or more target outcomes only if it falls within some time period (e.g., a predefined time period) from the one or more occurrences of the one or more reported aspects that correspond to the one or more target outcomes. The amount of time period (i.e., “predefined time period”) described above may, of course, depend on a number of factors.
For example, in some embodiments, the one or more predefined time periods (e.g., each of the one or more target outcomes may be associated with a different predefined time period) may be set based on the type of personalized plans 16* being developed. Alternatively, the one or more predefined time periods may be provided by the end user 4*, a source user, or some third party. As an illustration, suppose an end user 4* observes that a source user 2** has lost considerable amount of weight during the previous two months. The end user 4* may then indicate that he is only interested in reported aspects that indicate aspects associated with the source user 2** and that have occurred during the past two months.
In some implementations, operation 609 may further include an operation 610 for identifying from the one or more reported aspects that are at least associated with the one or more source users one or more reported aspects that indicate one or more aspects that occurred prior to and within one or more predefined time periods, respectively, from one or more occurrences of one or more reported aspects that correspond to the one or more target outcomes as depicted in
Various types of aspects may be indicated by the one or more reported aspects that are identified as being relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes in various alternative implementations. For example, in some implementations, the operation 603 for identifying the one or more reported aspects that are relevant to achieving the one or more target outcomes from the one or more reported aspects that are at least associated with the one or more source users may include an operation 611 for identifying from the one or more reported aspects that are at least associated with the one or more source users one or more reported aspects that are related to one or more behavior incidences associated with the one or more source users as depicted in
A behavior incidence may be related to any act, conduct, manner, and so forth that may be exhibited by, for example, a source user 2**.

Those having skill in the art will recognize that the state of the art has progressed to the point where there is little distinction left between hardware and software implementations of aspects of systems; the use of hardware or software is generally (but not always, in that in certain contexts the choice between hardware and software can become significant) a design choice representing cost vs. efficiency tradeoffs. Those having skill in the art will appreciate that there are various vehicles by which processes and/or systems and/or other technologies described herein can be effected (e.g., hardware, software, and/or firmware), and that the preferred vehicle will vary with the context in which the processes and/or systems and/or other technologies are deployed. For example, if an implementer determines that speed and accuracy are paramount, the implementer may opt for a mainly hardware and/or firmware vehicle; alternatively, if flexibility is paramount, the implementer may opt for a mainly software implementation; or, yet again alternatively, the implementer may opt for some combination of hardware, software, and/or firmware. Hence, there are several possible vehicles by which the processes and/or devices and/or other technologies described herein may be effected, none of which is inherently superior to the other in that any vehicle to be utilized is a choice dependent upon the context in which the vehicle will be deployed and the specific concerns (e.g., speed, flexibility, or predictability) of the implementer, any of which may vary. Those skilled in the art will recognize that optical aspects of implementations will typically employ optically-oriented hardware, software, and or firmware.
The foregoing detailed description has set forth various embodiments of the devices and/or processes via the use of block diagrams, flowcharts, and/or examples. Insofar as such block diagrams, flowcharts, and/or examples contain one or more functions and/or operations, it will be understood by those within the art that each function and/or operation within such block diagrams, flowcharts, or examples can be implemented, individually and/or collectively, by a wide range of hardware, software, firmware, or virtually any combination thereof. In one embodiment, several portions of the subject matter described herein may be implemented via Application Specific Integrated Circuitry (ASICs), Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), digital signal processors (DSPs), or other integrated formats. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that some aspects of the embodiments disclosed herein, in whole or in part, can be equivalently implemented in integrated circuitry, as one or more computer programs running on one or more computers (e.g., as one or more programs running on one or more computer systems), as one or more programs running on one or more processors (e.g., as one or more programs running on one or more microprocessors), as firmware, or as virtually any combination thereof, and that designing the circuitry and/or writing the code for the software and or firmware would be well within the skill of one of skill in the art in light of this disclosure. In addition, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the mechanisms of the subject matter described herein are capable of being distributed as a program product in a variety of forms, and that an illustrative embodiment of the subject matter described herein applies regardless of the particular type of signal bearing medium used to actually carry out the distribution. Examples of a signal bearing medium include, but are not limited to, the following: a recordable type medium such as a floppy disk, a hard disk drive, a Compact Disc (CD), a Digital Video Disk (DVD), a digital tape, a computer memory, etc.; and a transmission type medium such as a digital and/or an analog communication medium (e.g., a fiber optic cable, a waveguide, a wired communications link, a wireless communication link, etc.).
In a general sense, those skilled in the art will recognize that the various aspects described herein which can be implemented, individually and/or collectively, by a wide range of hardware, software, firmware, or any combination thereof can be viewed as being composed of various types of “electrical circuitry.” Consequently, as used herein “electrical circuitry” includes, but is not limited to, electrical circuitry having at least one discrete electrical circuit, electrical circuitry having at least one integrated circuit, electrical circuitry having at least one application specific integrated circuit, electrical circuitry forming a general purpose computing device configured by a computer program (e.g., a general purpose computer configured by a computer program which at least partially carries out processes and/or devices described herein, or a microprocessor configured by a computer program which at least partially carries out processes and/or devices described herein), electrical circuitry forming a memory device (e.g., forms of random access memory), and/or electrical circuitry forming a communications device (e.g., a modem, communications switch, or optical-electrical equipment). Those having skill in the art will recognize that the subject matter described herein may be implemented in an analog or digital fashion or some combination thereof.
Those having skill in the art will recognize that it is common within the art to describe devices and/or processes in the fashion set forth herein, and thereafter use engineering practices to integrate such described devices and/or processes into data processing systems. That is, at least a portion of the devices and/or processes described herein can be integrated into a data processing system via a reasonable amount of experimentation. Those having skill in the art will recognize that a typical data processing system generally includes one or more of a system unit housing, a video display device, a memory such as volatile and non-volatile memory, processors such as microprocessors and digital signal processors, computational entities such as operating systems, drivers, graphical user interfaces, and applications programs, one or more interaction devices, such as a touch pad or screen, and/or control systems including feedback loops and control motors (e.g., feedback for sensing position and/or velocity; control motors for moving and/or adjusting components and/or quantities). A typical data processing system may be implemented utilizing any suitable commercially available components, such as those typically found in data computing/communication and/or network computing/communication systems.
The herein described subject matter sometimes illustrates different components contained within, or connected with, different other components. It is to be understood that such depicted architectures are merely exemplary, and that in fact many other architectures can be implemented which achieve the same functionality. In a conceptual sense, any arrangement of components to achieve the same functionality is effectively “associated” such that the desired functionality is achieved. Hence, any two components herein combined to achieve a particular functionality can be seen as “associated with” each other such that the desired functionality is achieved, irrespective of architectures or intermedial components. Likewise, any two components so associated can also be viewed as being “operably connected”, or “operably coupled”, to each other to achieve the desired functionality, and any two components capable of being so associated can also be viewed as being “operably couplable”, to each other to achieve the desired functionality. Specific examples of operably couplable include but are not limited to physically mateable and/or physically interacting components and/or wirelessly interactable and/or wirelessly interacting components and/or logically interacting and/or logically interactable components.
While particular aspects of the present subject matter described herein have been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that, based upon the teachings herein, changes and modifications may be made without departing from the subject matter described herein and its broader aspects and, therefore, the appended claims are to encompass within their scope all such changes and modifications as are within the true spirit and scope of the subject matter described herein. Furthermore, it is to be understood that the invention is defined by the appended claims.
It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as “open” terms (e.g., the term “including” should be interpreted as “including but not limited to,” the term “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term “includes” should be interpreted as “includes but is not limited to,” etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles “a” or “an” limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to inventions containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases “one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or “an” (e.g., “a” and/or “an” should typically be interpreted to mean “at least one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations.
In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.).
In those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, or C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, or C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, the phrase “A or B” will be understood to include the possibilities of “A” or “B” or “A and B.”
