Abstract
A system, method, and device for managing multiple tasks, or conversations, is disclosed. A user interface allows the user to collect and create shared conversations on any number of topics and organize those conversations on a single page. As conversations persist, more information is provided by the plurality of users using the platform, and the user gains information via the conversations he/she chooses to follow. Each conversation is further associated with direct purchasing options, which are suggested to the user based on the common terms within that conversation as well as the common terms associated with the collection of that particular user's managed conversations.
Claims20
A system for linking conversations to purchase options using common term identifiers, comprising one or more processing units configured to:
- collect conversations, said conversations comprising a plurality of posts,
- assign one or more tags to each conversation, said tags being based on common terms in the conversation,
- display user-chosen conversations in a single workspace,
- maintain a user-specific set of tags based on said user-chosen conversations in said single workspace, and
- associate one or more purchase options with each conversation, said purchase options being based on said one or more tags assigned to the conversation, wherein said purchase options are presented to a user and are directly accessible by the user via said workspace.
A system for managing multiple conversations, comprising:
- a user interface for displaying all conversations from one or more conversation databases, said user interface further comprising a workspace for organizing user-chosen conversations, wherein each user-chosen conversation is labeled with one or more common terms within said user-chosen conversation, said common terms forming one or more tags,
- a tag database for storing one or more common terms associated with a particular conversation, said tag database further comprising one or more purchase option datasets based on an individual tag and associated with said particular conversation,
- wherein the user interface, upon a user's initiation, further displays a list of purchase options compiled from said tag database and associated with the one or more tags of a user-chosen conversation.
A social network method for managing multiple datasets and offering purchase options to a user, comprising,
- identifying one or more common terms within each dataset stored in a database, creating an association between said terms and said dataset,
- performing a search through a purchase database to identify purchase options for a particular dataset based on the dataset's associated common terms, linking said purchase options with said particular dataset,
- displaying to a user all existing datasets, wherein said user chooses one or more datasets to follow and interact with,
- relocating one or more user-chosen datasets into a reorganizable workspace, and
- providing the user, upon user request, with a plurality of purchase options linked with each user-chosen dataset.
