Abstract
Simulated network system and method for associating a real-world computer-based network user to a computerized simulated network for providing information to the real-world user. The information provided is based on similarity between a simulated user profile defined using one or more simulated user profile terms that use a first vocabulary and one or more characteristics of the real-world user that are also based on the first vocabulary.
Claims20
A method of obtaining a recommendation and/or other listing of information from a computer network including one or more simulated items:
- presenting to the computer network a comparison profile of a synthetic user or a synthetic item, the comparison profile including one or more terms based on a first vocabulary of terms;
- creating within the computer network a history of sharing and/or spreading of simulated items;
- comparing the comparison profile to the history of sharing and/or spreading of simulated items by the computer network, the simulated items having representation within the computer network based on the first vocabulary of terms, said comparing including a comparison of one or more terms of the first vocabulary of terms from the comparison profile to one or more terms of the first vocabulary represented in the history of sharing and/or spreading of simulated items;
- and
- displaying to a user of the computer network an item of information based on said comparing.
A machine-readable hardware storage medium including machine-executable instructions for performing a method of obtaining a recommendation and/or other listing of information from a computer network including one or more simulated items, the instructions comprising:
- a set of instructions for presenting to the computer network a comparison profile of a synthetic user or a synthetic item, the comparison profile including one or more terms based on a first vocabulary of terms;
- a set of instructions for creating within the computer network a history of sharing and/or spreading of simulated items;
- a set of instructions for comparing the comparison profile to the history of sharing and/or spreading of simulated items by the computer network, the simulated items having representation within the computer network based on the first vocabulary of termos, said comparing including a comparison of one or more terms of the first vocabulary of terms from the comparison profile to one or more terms of the first vocabulary represented in the history of sharing and/or spreading of simulated items;
- and
- a set of instructions for displaying to a user of the computer network an item of information based on said comparing.
