Patent Overview: US12307388B2
Title: Probabilistically tunable conversational method and system
Patent number: US12307388B2 (application US18/754,575; pre-grant publication US20240354606A1)
Inventors: Steven Dennis Flinn; Naomi Felina Moneypenny
Assignee: Original assignee ManyWorlds Inc; current assignee listed as MANY WORLDS 2T INNOVATIONS LLC
Key dates (as listed in the source): Priority date 2011-03-29; filing date 2024-06-26; publication of application 2024-10-24; granted/publication of US12307388B2 2025-05-20; anticipated expiration 2031-10-07. Priority is claimed from US13/268,035 (US8650149B2) and US13/295,414 (US8600926B2).
Purpose (from the supplied "Definitions" excerpt): The invention "relates to systems and methods for incorporating an adaptive layer of auto-learning capabilities within one or more computer-implemented systems." It addresses limits of existing technology: recommender systems personalize recommendations from behavioral history, and search engines index documents and retrieve information from user search terms, but "these approaches operating independently are inadequate in some cases for delivering the most useful information to computer systems users." The excerpt begins describing "a system and method for generating personalized" content but is truncated mid-sentence.
Plain-language scope: Based only on the supplied text, the patent concerns a conversational system and method whose behavior is probabilistically tunable, combining an adaptive, auto-learning layer with recommendation and search-style functions to better deliver useful information to users. Recurring source keywords include user, content, serendipity, objects, and information, suggesting the adaptive layer involves serendipity-related content selection, though the excerpt does not define this.
Classification context: G06N5/048 (fuzzy inferencing); G06F16/24575, G06F16/9535; G06Q10/40–10/46, G06Q50/01; H04L51/216; G06F40/55, G06F40/56.
Not established by the excerpt: the actual claims, detailed embodiments, figures, and how "probabilistically tunable" or "serendipity" are implemented; legal status is stated in the source to be an assumption, not a legal conclusion.

Assignment history
Inventors, original assignee, and the chain of ownership recorded with the USPTO — including the correspondent attorney who recorded each assignment, since shell-LLC chains often share one repeat-player attorney even when the entity names look unrelated. Surfaces NPE / patent-troll patterns: shell-entity transfers, known asserters in the chain, repeat correspondent fingerprints, pre-litigation assignments, and bankruptcy fire-sales.
