A method, system, and apparatus are provided for receiving and responding to knowledge interchange (“KI”) queries. KI queries are search queries directed to database of KI profiles. A KI profile identifies the interests of a user, the individuals with which a user has communicated, and the topics on which communication with the user was made. KI profiles are received from a plurality of client computers and stored in a profile database. Out-of-process processing may be performed on the contents of the profile database. Requests may be received to query the profile database. In response to receiving such requests, the received queries may be executed over the profile database to identify search results. The search results may then be returned as a response to the query.

A data model models a social network. The data model can be embodied as a person profile schema and a connector profile schema. The person profile schema defines properties of persons in the social network. The connector profile schema defines connectivity properties of persons that connect a searcher to the persons in social network that the searcher desires to find. Query languages can be based on the data model and can be used to express queries of social networks. Queries can be for persons, for connecting persons, or for both.

A method, system, and apparatus are provided for creating a knowledge interchange (“KI”) profile for a user that identifies the interests of the user, the individuals with which the user has communicated, and the topics on which the communication with the user was made. In order to create the KI profile, items of interest are gathered at the client computer by monitoring the interaction between a user and programs executing on the client computer. Once the items of interest have been identified, the KI profile is created by performing a social network analysis, an interest analysis, and a noun phrase analysis. Once the KI profile has been created, it may be uploaded to a server computer where it is aggregated with KI profiles created for other users.

A method, system, and apparatus are provided for maintaining user privacy in a knowledge interchange (“KI”) system. A user may provide privacy preferences relating to their participation in the KI system. The user may identify specific keywords, noun phrases, and contacts that should not be transmitted to a server computer. The user may also specify whether each keyword, noun phrase, or contact should be public or private. If a public keyword is identified during a search query as being associated with the user, the user's identity will be made available to a seeker If a private keyword is identified during a search query as being associated with the user, the user's identity will not be made available and a brokered communication process between the seeker and the user will be performed.

A host securely transmits content to a peripheral thereof. The peripheral has a symmetric key (PK) and a copy of (PK) encrypted according to a public key (PU) of an entity ((PU(PK))). In the method, the host receives (PU(PK)) from the peripheral, and sends (PU(PK)) to the entity. The entity has a private key (PR) corresponding to (PU), applies (PR) to (PU(PK)) to obtain (PK), and sends (PK) back to the host. The host receives (PK) from the entity, encrypts at least a portion of the content according to (PK), and transmits the encrypted content to the peripheral. The peripheral may then decrypt the encrypted content based on (PK). A bind key (BK) encrypted by (PK) ((PK(BK))) may accompany (PU(PK)), where the content is to be encrypted according to (BK). Thus, (PK) is not revealed to the host.

Embodiments are provided to enable a user to easily and conveniently assign, share, and/or locate characteristic and other information associated with others. In an embodiment, a user can assign, share, and use one or more characterizing tags. A user can use the one or more characterizing tags to characterize a person of interest and/or a relationship or association between the user and the person of interest. A user can also perform searches using one or more characterizing tags to locate others who may be associated with the one or more characterizing tags. Users can also view user profiles including any characterizing tags and/or communicate with others based in part on a characterizing tag. The various embodiments provide a forum for social tagging, allowing a user to apply and use one or more characterizing tags that are associated with a person of interest.

A method and system for implementing a document processor and re-aggregator is described herein. A document is divided into one or more sections and formatting is removed. A condensed document is generated that includes one or more links to the one or more sections. The condensed document is transmitted to a mobile device to be displayed for a user. The user may choose to download one or more of the sections by selecting one or more of the links. Once downloaded, a section may be modified by the user. The one or more modified sections may be transmitted from the mobile device. The one or more modified sections may then be re-aggregated with the unmodified sections to form a revised document.
