Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method of transforming a database collection of experience information from a plurality of users into an individual personal experience profile, said method comprising: (a) defining and storing an overall blueprint representing a collection of experiences in a two-dimensional matrix having a plurality of entries organized into a plurality of rows and columns such that each entry in the matrix corresponds to one experience in the collection; (b) defining and storing a plurality of specific blueprints each of the same layout and format as the overall blueprint such that each specific blueprint represents the collection of experiences in the two-dimensional matrix and indicates a relative priority of each experience in the collection for the particular specific blueprint; (c) defining a plurality of individual personal experience profiles generated from experience information obtained from a plurality of individuals using the overall blueprint, said experience information obtained for each individual defining the individual personal experience profile for that individual and indicating which experiences in the collection the individual possesses; (d) storing the individual personal experience profile for each individual in a computer operable database managed with a database management system, wherein, each stored individual personal experience profile including the obtained experience information defining the individual personal experience profile for that individual is stored independently of a relationship to any specific blueprint; (e) comparing using a computer processor a selected specific blueprint with a plurality of individual personal experience profiles, in order to determine the individual personal experience profile that most closely matches a specific blueprint; and, (f) generating an output result based upon the comparison, said output result: (i) representing the collection of experiences in the two-dimensional matrix; (ii) indicating the relative priorities of the experiences in the collection in accordance with the selected specific blueprint; and, (iii) indicating which experiences in the collection are possessed by the individual to which the selected experience profile belongs.
