Abstract
A method of supporting mass human-interaction events, including: providing a mass interaction event by a computer network (100) in which a plurality of participants (102) interact with each other by generating information comprising of questions, responses to questions and fact information for presentation to other participants and assimilating information: and controlling, automatically by a computer (104) the rate of information presentation to each participant, to be below a maximum information assimilation rate of each participant.
Claims165
A method of supporting the happening of a mass-interaction event comprising:
- providing a mass interaction event, directed at collecting information from a plurality of participants, in which a plurality of participants interact with each other by generating information comprising at least one of questions, responses to questions and fact information for presentation to other participants and assimilating information;
- and
- controlling, automatically by a computer, the rate of information presentation to each participant of said plurality of participants, to be below a maximum information assimilation rate of said each participant.
A method of supporting the happening of a mass-interaction event, comprising:
- providing a mass interaction event in which a plurality of participants interact with each oilier by generating information comprising at least one of questions, responses to questions and fact information for presentation to other participants and assimilating information;
- and
- controlling, automatically by a computer, the rate of information presentation to each participant of said plurality of participants, to be below a maximum information assimilation rate of said each participant,
- wherein controlling the rate comprises controlling the rate using different methods for different participant types.
A method of at least partly optimizing discussion groups, comprising:
- providing an issue to be discussed;
- and
- automatically gathering at least four people into a group, by a computer, for said discussion, responsive to said issue,
- wherein the gathering comprises modifying the content of said group to achieve a desired effect and wherein said modifying comprises modifying the content of the group responsive to existing group dynamics of discussions of the group.
A method of supporting the happening of a mass-interaction event, comprising:
- providing a mass interaction event in which a plurality of participants interact with each other by generating information comprising at least one of questions, responses to questions and fact information for presentation to other participants and assimilating information;
- and
- controlling, automatically by a computer, the rate of information presentation to each participant of said plurality of participants, to be below a maximum information assimilation rate of said each participant, at least partially by controlling a number and identity of interactive sub-groups of the participants, to which the participant belongs.
A method of supporting the happening of a mass-interaction event, comprising:
- providing a mass interaction event in which a plurality of participants interact with each other by generating information comprising at least one of questions, responses to questions and fact information for presentation to other participants and assimilating information;
- and
- controlling, automatically by a computer, the rate of information presentation to each participant of said plurality of participants, to be below a maximum information assimilation rate of said each participant,
- wherein the computer presents at least one piece of information to a first group of participants and determines a second group of participants to receive the at least one piece of information responsive to ratings received from one or more members of the first group of participants.
A method of at least partly optimizing discussion groups, comprising:
- providing an issue to be discussed;
- and
- automatically gathering at least four people into a group, by a computer, for said discussion, responsive to said issue,
- wherein providing an issue to be discussed comprises identifying an issue that warrants a separate discussion, and wherein gathering people into a group comprises generating an ad hoc group to discuss the issue and gathering the people into the ad hoc group.
