Abstract
In some embodiments, a user expresses his/her sentiment in a message, blog post, social media post, or other online communication and explicitly identifies that sentiment with a symbol (such as an asterisk). This explicitly identified sentiment is recorded in a database of individual and public opinions.
Claims19
A method implemented via a computer system, comprising:
- said computer system receiving a user inputted online digital message or posting including an indication of a sentiment within the message or posting using a user-inputted pre-defined explicit Sentiment Identifier proximate a user-inputted word, phrase or number that represents the Sentiment and said computer system identifying said pre-defined explicit Sentiment Identifier and the Sentiment and storing data pertaining to said Sentiment in non-transitory digital data storage.
A method implemented via a computer system, comprising:
- said computer system receiving and storing in non-transitory digital data storage a user inputted online digital message or posting including a communication informing other users and/or servers that the User would like to know the others' Sentiments on a particular Topic, using a question mark in conjunction with a pre-defined explicit Sentiment Identifier.
A system for allowing users to express their explicit sentiment within a message, post, or other online communication and for tracking and recording these sentiments, comprising:
- an Input Device configured to receive a user-inputted Message that is sent or posted by a User using the Input Device;
- said Message including a pre-defined Sentiment Identifier that explicitly identifies a Sentiment being expressed in said Message;
- an Input Service with which the Message is posted or sent;
- a Message Receiver that receives the Message from the Input Service;
- a Message Processor that parses the Message to identify the User, Topic, and Sentiment;
- a Persistent Data Storage in which the parsed Message data are stored;
- and
- an Output Service with which the parsed Message data is accessible.
A computer system having a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store and present data related to Sentiments, Topics, and other related Message information received from user input devices via which users input their explicit sentiment within a message, post, or other online communication using a pre-defined explicit Sentiment Identifier in conjunction with a word, phrase or number that represents the Sentiment.
