Abstract

Claims (64)

1. A non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon, which instructions, when executed by a processing device, perform steps comprising:

establishing a first user profile corresponding to a first user;

establishing a second user profile corresponding to a second user;

receiving a first request from the first user, via a graphical user interface of a first wireless communication device operatively coupled to an online social network, to create a first catalog;

creating the first catalog;

receiving a second request from the first user specifying at least one data item from a database of data items to be included in the catalog;

updating the first catalog to include the at least one data item specified in the second request;

receiving a third request from the second user to create a second catalog,

creating the second catalog that incorporates a third party dynamic catalog;

pinning the third party dynamic catalog, wherein the pinned third party dynamic catalog is made static in the second catalog;

receiving a fourth request from the second user specifying that the first catalog shall be incorporated into the second catalog;

updating the second catalog to incorporate into the second catalog the first catalog;

receiving a modification request to modify the first catalog;

modifying the first catalog in accordance with the modification request;

automatically modifying the second catalog so as to reflect in the first catalog that was previously incorporated into the second catalog the modification that was made to the first catalog in accordance with the modification request;

causing a graphical user interface associated with the second catalog to enable searches of an external network and searches of the second catalog based on one or more search terms and context in which the search is made; and

causing the graphical user interface to return search results of the second catalog in a multi-dimensional graphical format in which search results are graphically centered on a graphical element representing a most relevant search result and vary in size and transparency based on relevancy, wherein the graphical user interface of the second catalog is configured to display less relevant search results as graphical elements that are displayed farther from the most relevant search result, and wherein the graphical elements of the graphical user interface of the second catalog are configured to decrease in size and increase in transparency as distance increases from the graphical element representing the most relevant search result.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 1 , wherein creating the first catalog comprises code for creating one or more links in the first catalog to the at least one of the data items specified in the first request.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 2 , wherein creating the second catalog comprises code for creating a link in the second catalog to the first catalog.

4. A system, comprising:

a mobile wireless communication device comprising at least one processor coupled to on-chip memory; and

a database of data items including user profiles,

wherein the mobile wireless communication device comprises:

a display with a graphical user interface;

a user profile manager for establishing a first user profile corresponding to a first user and a second user profile corresponding to a second user;

a communications interface operable to receive a first request from the first user for the creation of a first catalog; and

a catalog manager operable to create the first catalog in response to the first request,

wherein the communications interface is further operable to receive a second request from the first user specifying at least one of the data items to be included in the catalog,

wherein the catalog manager is further operable to update the first catalog to include at least one data item specified in the second request in response to the second request,

wherein the communications interface is further operable to receive a third request from the second user to create a second catalog,

wherein the catalog manager is further operable to create the second catalog that incorporates a third party dynamic catalog,

wherein the catalog manager is further operable to pin the third party dynamic catalog, wherein the pinned third party dynamic catalog is made static in the second catalog,

wherein the communications interface is further operable to receive a fourth request from the second user specifying that the first catalog shall be incorporated into the second catalog,

wherein the catalog manager is further operable to update the second catalog to incorporate into the second catalog the first catalog,

wherein the communications interface is further operable to receive a modification request to modify the first catalog,

wherein the catalog manager is further operable to modify the first catalog in accordance with the modification request and cause a modification of the second catalog so as to reflect in the first catalog that was previously incorporated into the second catalog the modification that was made to the first catalog in accordance with the modification request,

wherein a graphical user interface associated with the second catalog is configured to enable searches of an external network and searches of the second catalog based on one or more search terms and context in which the search is made, and

wherein the graphical user interface of the second catalog is configured to return search results of the second catalog in a multi-dimensional graphical form in which search results are graphically centered on a graphical element representing a most relevant search result and vary in size and transparency based on relevancy, wherein the graphical user interface of the second catalog is configured to display less relevant search results as graphical elements that are displayed farther from the most relevant search result, and wherein the graphical elements of the graphical user interface of the second catalog are configured to decrease in size and increase in transparency as distance increases from the graphical element representing the most relevant search result.

5. The system as recited in claim 4 , wherein during creation of the first catalog, the catalog manager is further operable to create one or more links in the first catalog to the at least one of the data items specified in the first request.

6. The system as recited in claim 5 , wherein during creation of the second catalog, the catalog manager is further operable to create a link in the second catalog to the first catalog.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 1 , comprising capturing information about the first user or the second user and organizing the captured information within a specific context.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 1 , comprising capturing and organizing information based on a collective behavior of a latent network of users that is most closely associated to the first user or the second user in a given context.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 1 , comprising:

capturing and connecting social user behaviors; and

capturing and organizing information based on social user behaviors.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 1 , comprising:

creating commercial operations that can be re-composed to support context specific processes that are personalized to users.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 10 , wherein the commercial operations are deployed based on a user's preference across multiple distributed touchpoints.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 1 , comprising:
