ABSTRACT:
System and method of discovering and exploiting information such as private or confidential facts from a user, while securing the information from unauthorized publication includes, a sender having a processing module transmitting a request for publication of information about a user; an agent in communication with the sender receiving the request for the information, and a user in communication with the agent responding to prompts initiated by the agent. The prompts request the user to reveal facts relating to the information desired by the sender, and provide indicia relating to authorization for publication of the disclosed facts to the sender. The agent discovers the facts and determines whether such facts are to be made available to the sender. The agent can include a memory module, and a processing module such as a rule engine using dialog classes, for communicating with the sender and user, determining whether the indicia of authorization for the facts permits publication of the facts to the sender, and publishing the facts to the sender when said indicia represents a grant of authorization for publication. The agent can exploit all the facts it has discovered, whether authorized or not for publication, to personalize its communication with the user.
