Systems and Methods for Automating the Creation of Collaborative Boards Based on Different Triggering Events

Smart overview of the Invention

A collaboration system is designed to automatically create boards that celebrate achievements or milestones for specific recipients. It detects various triggering events, such as personal achievements or state changes, and requests contributions from selected individuals who have meaningful relationships with the recipient. The resulting collaboration board organizes these contributions to maximize emotional impact, ensuring that the most significant relationships are highlighted prominently.

Limitations of Traditional Methods

Traditional methods of recognition, such as paper cards, limit contributions to text and require physical passing among contributors. Social media platforms allow for a variety of expressive formats but present contributions in a disjointed manner, losing the emotional effect of seeing all contributions at once. Additionally, these platforms often rely on recipients to manually identify occasions for recognition, which can lead to missed opportunities for celebration.

Automated Generation of Collaborative Boards

The collaboration system automates the creation of collaborative boards by interfacing with external systems that track relevant events or milestones. Upon detecting a triggering event, it customizes the board by selecting contributors based on their relationship with the recipient and curating their contributions. This process preserves the emotional resonance of receiving a physical card while enhancing it with digital capabilities.

Formats and Contributions

Collaborative boards support diverse formats including text, audio, video, and interactive content. Contributors can submit various types of messages, from congratulatory texts to video clips. In some cases, financial contributions can also be pooled and associated with the board, which can then be transferred to the recipient in various forms such as direct bank transfers or gift cards.

Conversion to Physical Medium

The system can convert digital collaborative boards into physical formats like printed cards or books. This allows recipients to experience the emotional impact of seeing all contributions together during a celebratory event. The process includes organizing content for printing and ensuring that it retains its expressive qualities in a static format.
