Right after the posting about Friendster and the patent for online social networking, I received an email about a patent pending for "Methods and systems for delivering community knowledge" which has been filed under number 20060112051. See the full application here.
Methods and systems for delivering knowledge in a community of practice environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system may include a community of practice including members and a knowledge management architecture that manages knowledge used by the community of practice. The knowledge management architecture may also maintain a delivery profile for each member having parameters reflecting a preferred format for receiving updates regarding new knowledge. Further, the knowledge management architecture may be configured to detect new knowledge associated with the community of practice and determine, for a first member, that the new knowledge includes information related to a first profile parameter associated with the first member. Also, the knowledge management architecture may generate a notification for the first member including data associated with a portion of the new knowledge and deliver the notification to the first member. Moreover, the knowledge management architecture may deliver a supplemental version of the new knowledge to the first member in response to a request from the first member to receive the supplemental version of the new knowledge.
Again, I am note sure where this is going with such a generic patent application.
