Intelligent internet system with adaptive user interface providing one-step access to knowledge

Abstract

An Intelligent Internet system having the capacity to discover, acquire, organize, store, and make accessible knowledge about things of interest to users and to help users more efficiently interact with these things in a rich variety of ways. The Intelligent Internet system provides users with a personalized interface that dynamically adapts to each user's interests and context. This interface provides users with direct access to “knowledge” about things that humans or machines can uniquely sense, recognize, name, understand and interact with, whether real or imagined. Users can access the knowledge stored in the Intelligent Internet system to find, learn about and select products and services; communicate with family, friends, colleagues, classmates, customers and suppliers; learn about things they encounter in their environment, make decisions about them, consume and share content related to them and perform transactions.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A computer-implemented method for acquiring and storing knowledge about entities, the method comprising:
 storing metadata about entities in a metadata database, the metadata database comprising lists of entities and tables mapping relationships between the entities;   storing knowledge about the entities and relationships between the entities in a knowledge graph database, wherein the knowledge graph database comprises factual knowledge data about entities, relationship knowledge data between entities, and behavioral knowledge data between entities;   storing smart content records about each of the entities in a smart content database, each of the smart content records having a component comprising the source of the content and a component comprising knowledge about the content in the smart content record; and.   providing knowledge to a user useful for interacting with entities.
