Abstract

Techniques described herein relate to receiving multiple sources of verified data associated with a digital credential receiver, and mapping the digital credential receiver to one or more data field data objects based on analyses of the verified data. In some embodiments, a digital credential platform server may analyze the various data sources associated with the digital credential receiver, in order to determine and calculate correlation scores between the digital credential receiver and various field data objects. A combination of analyses and/or comparisons may be used between the credential receiver data and the corresponding retrieved from field data objects, such as the digital credential objects earned by the credential receiver, the credential receiver's verified evaluation records, and/or the career phase of the digital credential receiver.

Dependent claims

A digital credential platform server configured to map digital credential receivers to field data objects, the digital credential platform server comprising:

a processing unit comprising one or more processors;
one or more network interfaces;
and
memory coupled with and readable by the processing unit and storing therein a set of instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, causes the digital credential platform server to:
receive a request from a first client device for a set of field data objects associated with a digital credential receiver;
in response to the request, retrieve data associated with the digital credential receiver, said data comprising:
(a) data identifying one or more digital credential objects received by the digital credential receiver;
(b) one or more verified evaluation records of the digital credential receiver;
and
(c) data identifying a current career phase of the digital credential receiver;
access and analyze a plurality of field data objects stored in a data structure;
select a first subset of the plurality of field data objects correlating to the digital credential receiver, wherein the first subset of field data objects is selected based on a correlation analysis between the data associated with the digital credential receiver and a plurality of characteristics of the plurality of field data objects;
for each particular field data object of the selected first subset of field data objects, calculate a correlation score for the particular field data object, wherein the correlation score for the particular field data object is based on:
(a) a first comparison of the digital credential objects received by the digital credential receiver to first capability characteristics of the particular field data object;
(b) a second comparison of the evaluation records of the digital credential receiver to second interest characteristics of the particular field data object;
and
(c) a third comparison of the current career phase of the digital credential receiver a third career phase characteristic of the particular field data object;
and
transmit data identifying the correlation score for each of the selected first subset of field data objects, to the first client device in response to the request.

A method of mapping digital credential receivers, comprising:

receiving, by the digital credential platform server, a request from a first client device for a set of field data objects associated with a digital credential receiver;
in response to the request, retrieving, by the digital credential platform server, data associated with the digital credential receiver, said data comprising:
(a) data identifying one or more digital credential objects received by the digital credential receiver;
(b) one or more verified evaluation records of the digital credential receiver;
and
(c) data identifying a current career phase of the digital credential receiver;
accessing and analyzing, by the digital credential platform server, a plurality of field data objects stored in a data structure;
selecting, by the digital credential platform server, a first subset of the plurality of field data objects correlating to the digital credential receiver, wherein the first subset of field data objects is selected based on a correlation analysis between the data associated with the digital credential receiver and a plurality of characteristics of the plurality of field data objects;
for each particular field data object of the selected first subset of field data objects, calculating a correlation score for the particular field data object, by the digital credential platform server, wherein the correlation score for the particular field data object is based on:
(a) a first comparison of the digital credential objects received by the digital credential receiver to first capability characteristics of the particular field data object;
(b) a second comparison of the evaluation records of the digital credential receiver to second interest characteristics of the particular field data object;
and
(c) a third comparison of the current career phase of the digital credential receiver a third career phase characteristic of the particular field data object;
and
transmitting, by the digital credential platform server, data identifying the correlation score for each of the selected first subset of field data objects, to the first client device in response to the request.
