Methods, systems, and products for producing persona-based hosts

1. A method of producing a virtual host, comprising:

generating the virtual host;

obtaining a physical address associated with an internet protocol address of a user interacting with the virtual host;

obtaining property records associated with the physical address;

inspecting the property records for a date of transfer;

comparing the date of transfer to a current date to determine a term of ownership;

inferring an age of the user from the term of ownership; and

endowing the virtual host with demographic traits associated with the age of the user.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

querying for an additional trait that is associated with the user's demographic trait; and

endowing the virtual host with the additional trait, thereby further enhancing the virtual host to appeal to the user.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising querying a property records database for the property records associated with the physical address.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising querying for census data associated with the physical address.

5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising querying for the demographic trait associated with the census data, whereby the virtual host is demographically tailored to the census data.

6. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the property records are stored in a local memory.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

inferring the age of the user from governmental data.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

inspecting the property records for a sales price;

inferring an income level of the user from the sales price; and

endowing the virtual host with demographic traits associated with the income level of the user.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising querying for a telephone number associated with an Internet Protocol address, the Internet Protocol address associated with the user.

10. The method according to claim 9 , further comprising:

querying for a physical address associated with the telephone number;

querying for census data associated with the physical address; and

querying for the demographic trait associated with the census data, whereby the virtual host is demographically tailored to the census data.

11. The method according to claim 9 , further comprising:

querying for a central office associated with the telephone number;

querying for a physical address of the central office;

querying for census data associated with the physical address of the central office; and

querying for the demographic trait associated with the census data, whereby the virtual host is demographically tailored to the census data.

12. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving an audible response to a prompt;

comparing the audible response to responses in a database of responses;

when a match is found, then selecting a speech characteristic associated with the audible response; and

endowing the virtual host with the speech characteristic such that the virtual host has audible traits matching the user.

13. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising querying for the demographic trait that is associated with the speech characteristic.

14. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a time between keystrokes of the user; and

querying for the demographic trait that is associated with the time between keystrokes.

15. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising comparing the time between keystrokes to a threshold time and inferring at least one of i) an elderly age of the user and ii) a young age of the user.

16. The method according to claim 15 , further comprising endowing the virtual host with the demographic trait associated with the user's age.

17. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising i) prompting the user with scripted questions to infer the user's age and ii) endowing the virtual host with the demographic trait associated with the user's age.

18. A system for producing a virtual host, the system comprising a processor configured to:

generate the virtual host;

obtain a physical address associated with an internet protocol address of a user interacting with the virtual host;

obtain property records associated with the physical address;

inspect the property records for a sales price;

infer an income level of the user from the sales price; and

endow the virtual host with demographic traits associated with the income level of the user.

19. The system according to claim 18 , wherein the processor is configured to:

query for the physical address;

query for census data associated with the physical address; and

query for demographic traits associated with the census data, whereby the virtual host is demographically tailored to the census data.
