Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, computer program products, devices and systems are described that carry out accepting at least one request for personal information from a party to a transaction; evaluating the transaction; and negotiating presentation of at least one persona to the party to the transaction at least partly based on an evaluation of the transaction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
(a) circuitry for accepting, as part of an electronic communication from a first user who is associated with a vehicle, at least the first user's network-participation data, the first user's network participation data including at least first user image data associated with the first user, the first user image data including at least image data associated with at least a portion of a face associated with the first user;
(b) circuitry for associating the first user image data with a profile of a real world user that is associated with a social network, the profile of the real world user including at least a real world name and an image of the real world user, the image of the real world user being associated with a social network, including at least:
(1) circuitry for associating the first user image data with the profile of the real world user at least in part by using facial recognition technology to associate the first user image data with the profile of the real world user;

(c) circuitry for determining whether to associate the real world user with a unique identifier in a database, the circuitry for determining whether to associate the real world user with a unique identifier in a database configured to determine to associate the real world user with the unique identifier if it determines that there is at least a first match between the real world user's network participation data and stored network participation data that is associated in the database with the unique identifier and if it further determines that there is at least a second match between the real world user's device-identifier data and stored device-identifier data that is associated in the database with the unique identifier; and
(d) circuitry for at least facilitating presentation of at least a portion of the profile to at least a second user, the at least a portion of the profile including at least the real world name and the image of the real world user, the circuitry for at least facilitating presentation configured to additionally facilitate presentation of at least some database-stored information regarding the real world user to at least the second user based at least in part on at least a determination to associate the real world user with the unique identifier by the circuitry for determining whether to associate the real world user with a unique identifier in a database.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
circuitry for assigning a unique identifier to the first user at least partly based on the first user's device-identifier data and the first user's network-participation identifier data.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein said circuitry for assigning a unique identifier to the first user at least partly based on the first user's device-identifier data and the first user's network-participation identifier data comprises:
circuitry for assigning at least one of a multi-digit decimal number, a multi-digit hexadecimal number, or a randomized code as the unique identifier.

4. The system of claim 2 , further comprising:
circuitry for encrypting the unique identifier.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein said circuitry for encrypting the unique identifier comprises:
circuitry for encrypting the unique identifier at least in part via at least one of symmetric key encryption, public key encryption, hybrid digital signature encryption, use of a one-way hash function, use of a random identifier, or use of a pseudo-random identifier.

6. The system of claim 2 , wherein said circuitry for assigning a unique identifier to the first user at least partly based on the first user's device-identifier data and the first user's network-participation identifier data comprises:
circuitry for assigning to the unique identifier geo-locator data from the communication device associated with the first user, wherein the geo-locator data is indicative or one or more locations of at least the first user and the vehicle.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein said circuitry for assigning to the unique identifier geo-locator data from the communication device associated with the first user, wherein the geo-locator data is indicative or one or more locations of at least the first user and the vehicle comprises:
circuitry for assigning to the unique identifier geo-locator data obtained via a global positioning satellite function of the at least one communication device.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein said circuitry for accepting, as part of an electronic communication from a first user who is associated with a vehicle, at least the first user's network-participation data, the first user's network participation data including at least first user image data associated with the first user, the first user image data including at least image data associated with at least a portion of a face associated with the first user comprises:
at least one of:
circuitry for accepting the first user's network-participation data via an electronic communication via one or more communication networks from a remote communication device associated with the first user;
circuitry for accepting at least a portion of network-participation identifier data of the first user that is associated with at least one of a social security number, a national identification card, a passport number, a tax identification number, an internet domain, or a authentication certificate;
circuitry for accepting, as at least a portion of the network-participation data of the first user, at least social networking data corresponding to at least one verified real-world user of at least one communication device;
circuitry for accepting social networking data that includes at least one of image data, constellation of social contact data, or user input data; or
circuitry for accepting at least information associated with the vehicle.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the circuitry for accepting at least information associated with the vehicle comprises:
circuitry for accepting at least geo-location data associated with the vehicle and the first user.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein said circuitry for accepting, as part of an electronic communication from a first user who is associated with a vehicle, at least the first user's network-participation data, the first user's network participation data including at least first user image data associated with the first user, the first user image data including at least image data associated with at least a portion of a face associated with the first user comprises:
circuitry for accepting the first user image data as at least a portion of an authentication process.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein said circuitry for associating the first user image data with a profile of a real world user that is associated with a social network, the profile of the real world user including at least a real world name and an image of the real world user, the image of the real world user being associated with a social network comprises:
circuitry for associating a digital photograph of the first user with at least one or more attributes of the real world user.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein said circuitry for associating the first user image data with the profile of the real world user at least in part by using facial recognition technology to associate the first user image data with the profile of the real world user comprises:
circuitry for applying facial recognition technology to the first user image data to associate the first user image data with at least one or more attributes of a real world user that include at least one of geographic, demographic, or other identi
