Abstract

A method is provided for generating unique content using information received from a user. The method includes receiving, from a user, data. The data includes restrictions for content and information associated with a business entity. Further, the method includes analyzing the data to identify a subject matter of the content. The method also includes obtaining a content template that corresponds with the subject matter. The content template comprises a block of text with a plurality of blanks. The method further includes accessing and analyzing a terminology library to identify a required data item. Moreover, the method includes generating search terms based on the required data item, and searching the Internet using the search terms to obtain the required data item. Still yet, the method includes identifying a subset of additional terminology, which is used to generate raw content. Furthermore, the method includes obtaining unique content by modifying the raw content.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for generating content, comprising:
receiving, from a user, a plurality of data items comprising a plurality of restrictions of the content and a plurality of information associated with a business entity;
analyzing the plurality of data items to identify a subject matter of the content;
obtaining, based on the analysis, a content template corresponding to the subject matter, wherein the content template comprises a block of text comprising a plurality of blanks;
accessing, based on the content template, a terminology library, comprising a plurality of words and phrases associated with the subject matter;
analyzing the plurality of data items, the content template, and the terminology library to identify a required data item comprising a plurality of characteristics;
generating a plurality of search terms corresponding to the plurality of characteristics of the required data item;
performing an internet search, using the plurality of search terms, to obtain the required data item;
analyzing the plurality of data items and the required data item to identify a plurality of additional terminology;
identifying, based on the content template, a subset of the terminology library and a subset of the additional terminology;
combining the content template, the subset of the terminology library, the subset of the additional terminology, and the plurality of information to generate raw content;
obtaining unique content by modifying the raw content by rearranging text of the content and replacing a word of the content with a synonym of the word;
displaying the unique content to the user;
receiving, from the user, a plurality of edits to the unique content;
applying the plurality of edits to the unique content to obtain completed content;
analyzing the completed content to obtain a new content template and a new terminology library; and
storing the new content template and the new terminology library in a data repository for future use.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the user, extant content, wherein the extant content is a block of text; and
analyzing the extant content to obtain a plurality of additional data items.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising
modifying the extant content to obtain the content template.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
sending a request to the user to provide the required data item, wherein the request comprises the plurality of characteristics of the required data item; and
receiving in response to the request, the required data item.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the user, access permission to a financial application of the user; and
obtaining, from the financial application, a portion of the plurality of data items.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one blank of the plurality of blanks is associated with a part of speech, wherein the required data item is a word to replace the blank with, and wherein at least one characteristic of the plurality of characteristics is the part of speech.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of restrictions is a tone of the content, wherein the tone comprises a writing style of the content, and wherein the content template and the terminology library are selected based upon the tone.

8. A method for generating content, comprising:
receiving, from a user, a plurality of data items comprising a plurality of restrictions of the content and a plurality of information associated with a business entity, wherein the plurality of restrictions include a restriction designating a preferred term;
analyzing the plurality of data items to identify a subject matter of the content;
obtaining, based on the analysis, a content template corresponding to the subject matter, wherein the content template comprises a block of text comprising a plurality of blanks;
accessing, based on the content template, a terminology library, comprising a plurality of words and phrases associated with the subject matter;
analyzing the plurality of data items, the content template, and the terminology library to identify a required data item comprising a plurality of characteristics;
generating a plurality of search terms corresponding to the plurality of characteristics of the required data item;
performing an internet search, using the plurality of search terms, to obtain the required data item;
analyzing the plurality of data items and the required data item to identify a plurality of additional terminology;
identifying, based on the content template, a subset of the terminology library and a subset of the additional terminology;
combining the content template, the subset of the terminology library, the subset of the additional terminology, and the plurality of information to generate raw content; and
obtaining unique content by modifying the raw content by rearranging text of the content and replacing a word of the content with a synonym of the word, wherein modifying the raw content includes:
identifying synonyms of the preferred term in the raw content, and
replacing the synonyms with the preferred term.

9. A content generation system, comprising:
a computer processor;
a data repository storing:
a content template, wherein the content template comprises a block of text comprising a plurality of blanks; and
a terminology library, wherein the terminology library comprises a plurality of words and phrases associated with a subject matter;

a user interface receiving, from a user, a plurality of data items comprising a plurality of restrictions of content and a plurality of information associated with a business entity;
a data acquisition module executing on the computer processor, accessing the data repository, and configured to:
retrieve, from the data repository and based on an analysis of the plurality of data items, the content template corresponding to the subject matter;
access, based on the content template, the terminology library stored in the data repository, to obtain the plurality of words and phrases associated with the subject matter; and
perform an internet search, using a plurality of search terms generated by a data analysis module, to obtain a required data item;

the data analysis module executing on the computer processor and configured to:
analyze the plurality of data items, the content template, and the terminology library to identify the required data item, wherein the required data item comprises a plurality of characteristics;
generate the plurality of search terms corresponding to the plurality of characteristics of the required data item;
analyze the plurality of data items and the required data item to identify a plurality of additional terminology;
identify, based on the content template, a subset of the terminology library and a subset of the additional terminology;
analyze completed content to obtain a new content template and a new terminology library; and
store the new content template and the new terminology library in the data repository for future use;

a content generation module executing on the computer processor and configured to:
combine the content template, the subset of the terminology library, the subset of the additional terminology, and the plurality of information to generate raw content;
obtain unique content by modifying the raw content by rearranging text of the content and replacing a word of the content with a synonym of the word; and
apply a plurality of edits to the unique content to obtain the completed content;

wherein the user interface displays the unique content to the user, and receives, from the user, the plurality of edit
