Benefits of technology
The patent relates to methods, systems, and software for associating data from different sources to create a person-centric space. This involves receiving information about a person and obtaining data from private sources based on the information. Cross-linking keys are then identified from the first data and used to associate the first data with data from one or more second sources to create cross-linked data. The person-centric space is then generated based on this cross-linked data. The technical effects of this patent are improved data associational techniques and the creation of a more accurate and complete person-centric space.
Problems solved by technology
One problem associated with the rapid growth of the Internet is the so-called “information explosion,” which is the rapid increase in the amount of available information and the effects of this abundance.
As the amount of available information grows, the problem of managing the information becomes more difficult, which can lead to information overload.
Similar to what has happened in the public space, information explosion has also become an issue in the social media space, especially in managing and retrieving information in an efficient and organized manner.
This is not convenient.
This has led to another consequential problem given the information explosion: requiring one to constantly look for information across different segregated spaces to piece everything together due to lack of meaningful connections among pieces of information that are related in actuality yet isolated in different segregated spaces.
In practice, however, a person often has to go back and forth between different applications, sometimes across different spaces, in order to complete a task because of the segregated and unorganized nature of information existing in various spaces.
Moreover, even within a specific vertical, the enormous amount of information makes it tedious and time consuming to find the desired information.
Oftentimes, however, a person may not like to declare her / his interests, whether in a semi-private space or a public space.
In that case, the accuracy of user profiling can only be relied on estimation, which can be questionable.
Even for information residing within different applications / domains in the private space 104, a person 102 still has to go by different means 110 to access content of each application / domain, which is not convenient and not person-centric.
However, such information exchange does not automatically create any linkage between data between the private and semi-private spaces 104, 106.
Thus, there is no application that can keep track of such information exchange and establish meaningful connections, much less utilizing the connections to make it easier to search for information.
However, even if limiting the search result to a specific domain in the public space 108, there is still an enormous amount of available information, putting much burden on the person 102 to identify desired information.
However, in reality, it is easy to lose track of related information residing in different spaces.
In today's society, this consumes more and more people's time.
Because information residing in different spaces or even within the same space is organized in a segregated manner and can only be accessed via dedicated means, the identification and presentation of information from different sources (whether from the same or different spaces) cannot be made in a coherent and unified manner.
Such inconsistency affects user experience.

The present teaching relates to associating data from different sources to generate a person-centric space. In one example, information related to a person is received. First data is obtained from a first source private to the person based on the information. One or more types of cross-linking keys are identified from the first data. Second data is obtained from at least one second source based on the one or more types of cross-linking keys. The first data is associated with at least a portion of the second data based, at least in part, on the one or more types of cross-linking keys to generate cross-linked data. The person-centric space is generated based on the cross-linked data.
