Systems and methods for production of novel types of commemorative books

A method comprising:

• receiving at a computer operably coupled with a memory and instructions for implementing the method, a request from a predeceased lead to implement a death switch, comprising a death detection trigger for creation of content;
• sending first messages to the predeceased lead at intervals;
• detecting whether a response to the first message is received within a specified time period;
• in response to detecting that a response is not received within the specified time period, accessing at least one database of deceased persons;
• detecting whether the database contains data indicating that the predeceased lead has become deceased;
• and
• in response to detecting that the predeceased lead has become deceased, compiling at least some textual, audio, pictorial, and/or video data into a publication.

A method comprising:

• receiving at a computer operably coupled with a memory and instructions for implementing the method, data from a first data source;
• confirming that the data meets at least one specified parameter, and in response to a positive determination, recording the data in a database, where a unique signature identifying the data is generated;
• purging the data from the database after publication of at least some textual, audio, pictorial, and/or video data;
• resending data from the first data source to the computer after the purge;
• generating by the computer, a signature identifying the data;
• the computer comparing the data from the computer to a database of signatures;
• the computer determining whether the signature already exists in the database;
• and
• in response to determining that the signature already exists in the database, adding the data back to the database without confirming that the data meets at least one of the at least one specified parameter.
