The invention describes a method and system for communication from one or more anonymous sender(s) and to one or more known recipient(s). This method involves the use of a trusted third party that: receives messages from a sender(s), validates the sender(s) and message destination, removes identifying header information from the message, stores the message for a random time period, and then sends to a defined set of recipient(s), all messages received, in random order. The third party receives messages in various formats and sends messages in recipients' preferred format. By holding messages for a random period of time and then sending them in random order to recipients, the third party diminishes the effectiveness of traffic monitoring activities. This invention is particularly designed for applications where senders are providing qualitative feedback to recipients, including but, not limited to, employee-employer communications, collaborative brainstorming, employee knowledge capture and dissemination, and customer-to-vendor feedback.

Computer-based group brainstorming system and method are disclosed. The invention system and method provide a certain area (e.g., a depicted room) as a brainstorming area in a virtual environment. A processor engine enables brainstorming sessions of multiple users in the certain area. For a given brainstorming session, the engine (i) indicates each user in the brainstorming session, and (ii) indicates communications (e.g., chat bubbles, votes, etc.) of each user in the brainstorming session. Color-coding of the users/avatars and communications may be used. Users may arrange indicia (e.g., indicators of project tasks) in the certain area in a manner that provides work flow or work assignments to users. Snapshots of the different states of a brainstorming session are enabled. User interaction with the artifacts of the brainstorming session remains active in the snapshots. Artifacts of a brainstorming session may later be reconstituted (reinstated) from a reloading of a snapshot into a subsequent session.

The instant invention is directed to a novel approach to identification and evaluation of the trends affecting a particular organization. By use of a specially designed software package, the participants in the evaluation are able to analyze and codify opportunities and/or threats that are present in the environment of the organization and to brainstorm solution as result of the codification of the stresses confronting the organization. This is accomplished by use of the software in a unique bisociational approach.

For the disadvantages that the existing method is poor in optimizing result and slow in convergence speed and loses efficacy while the joint perceptive probability is relatively high when the problem of optimal equivalent working sensor distribution in target coverage is solved, the invention provides a novel optimal target coverage method for a heterogeneous sensor network. By means of the optimal target coverage method provided by the invention, the disadvantage that the current brainstorming optimization algorithm cannot be applied to a discrete problem can be solved; and the application range of the brainstorming algorithm is expanded. A simulation result shows that: compared with the existing classical target coverage method, the convergence speed and the convergence precision of the optimal target coverage method in the invention are relatively superior; therefore, the effectiveness of the optimal target coverage method in the invention is proved; under same conditions, when the joint perceptive probability constraint is relatively strict, the traditional method can lose efficacy; but, the method in the invention still is feasible. According to the optimal target coverage method provided by the invention, scheme exchange in a brainstorming process is reflected in the generation mode of a new scheme in a fusion manner; and, compared with scheme exchange of the original brainstorming algorithm, the scheme exchange is relatively wide, and is closer to a real brainstorming process.
