[0046] The memory module is collectively configured to store software programs and the input/output data and some temporary transmitted data sets in between.

[0047] The process module is configured to process the data by carrying out the software program instructions and convert the input data into actionable insights.

[0048] The connection 120 is configured to push the data from the input module to the process module. The connection 140 is configured for the output module to receive actionable insights from the process module. The connection 160 is configured for two way communication between the process module and the memory module. The connection 180 is configured for the input module to get information from the output module.

[0049] The functions of those connections are realized by at least one of the followings: [0050] i. a computer bus or a set of computer buses [0051] ii. a wire or a set of wires [0052] iii. a cable or a set of cables, including optical fibers [0053] iv. a set frequency of wireless waves, including, but not limited to: [0054] a. television and radio wave [0055] b. satellite communication [0056] c. mobile telephone communication systems, including 5G [0057] d. global positioning system or any other equalities [0058] e. bluetooth [0059] f. paging [0060] g. local area networks, including wireless [0061] h. infrared communication [0062] v. an internet/intranet communication [0063] vi. a communication between/among clouds [0064] vii. any combinations and permutations of above mentioned means

[0065] FIG. 2 200 illustrates the features for the public permissioned network that the secure, integrated, personal smart information management and exchange systems of the present invention resided in.

[0066] The public permissioned network is open to anyone who wants to join. But everybody must identify themselves, present their credentials, and get the permission before they can join. The governance rules are predetermined by consensus agreement and are transparent. Personal/entity information and credentials need to be verified. Certifications are issued after verification. Accessibilities are granted after certification. Read/write privileges are based on the personal/entity's function.

[0067] FIG. 3 illustrates the methods to assign a unique identifier to each registrant.

[0068] During registration 310, an algorithm 330 is performed to generate a unique identifier 350 for each registrant. The algorithm is to incorporate time stamps, geolocation coordinates, and other personal identification information.

[0069] FIG. 4 illustrate the methods to attach time stamps 430, geolocation coordinates 450, and other identification information 410 with other input data 490 inside the input module 110.

[0070] The identification information, along with the time stamps and geolocation coordinates if available, is attached to other input data by the instructions of the program.

[0071] FIG. 5 depicts methods to extract 530, standardize 550, and incorporate 570 related data, which have two basic types: text and image.

[0072] Texts documents 510 are parsed through some programs 515, e.g. the natural language processing, then information is extracted, standardized, and incorporated into other related data. While image documents 520 are analyzed by some programs 525, e.g. the artificial neural network, then information is extracted, standardized, and incorporated into other related data.

[0073] FIG. 6 depicts methods to secure data. The followings are detailed sequential steps for two parties, one is an information consumer 610 and the other is an information provider 620, to communicate securely: [0074] 1. When a session starts, an information consumer initiates a request to an information provider of choice with the information consumer's certificate including the consumer's public key, 630; [0075] 2. After verification, the information provider of choice responses with the provider's digital signature and certificate including the provider's public key, 640; [0076] 3. After verification, the consumer encrypts a session key by using the public key, 650; [0077] 4. After receiving, the provider decrypts the session key with the provider's private key, 660; [0078] 5. After verification, both parties communicate with the encryption of the mutually agreed symmetrical session key, 670; [0079] 6. The communication continues until the end of the session, 680; [0080] 7. Upon predetermined rules, the contents of the session's communication are added to the consumer's previous data block 601, 603; the contents of the session's communication are also added to the provider's previous data block 602, 604; those added data blocks are chained according chronological order and are immutable after verification.

[0081] FIG. 7 depicts methods to map and standardize the concept codes.

[0082] The contents 710 from various sources are extracted, transformed, and loaded 760 into at least three components: [0083] 1. Concept description 720 [0084] 2. Concept types 722 [0085] 3. Concept relationships 724

[0086] Those components are mapped with 770 the concepts in the standard concept engine 730. Then the mapped concepts are encoded 780 to the preferred concept codes 750 for later use. If no exact matches are found, acceptable concepts or synonyms are selected.

[0087] FIG. 8 depicts methods to interpret different languages and different sentiments.

[0088] The contents in the source languages 810 can be translated 820 to the contents in the preferred language 830, and vice versa, by using methods such as rule-based machine translation, example-based machine translation, statistical machine translation, and neural machine translation.

[0089] The sentiments 850 can be extracted 840 from the contents both in source languages and in preferred languages by using methods such as knowledge-based techniques, statistical methods, and hybrid approaches.

[0090] FIG. 9 depicts methods to provide data driven actionable insights.

[0091] The incorporated data sets 910 are processed by mining, comparing, and matching with various engines 900, including guidelines 901, expert systems 902, knowledge bases 903, artificial intelligences 904, and others 905. The actionable insights 930 are generated from those processes, and either being presented to the output module 150 or being sent to the memory module 170 for storage. Those newly generated actionable insights, with or without other new information, can be sent back and incorporated with those engines to update them.

[0092] FIG. 10 depicts exemplary devices.

[0093] Those devices 1000 store executable program instruction codes 1002 and personal data 1001 securely, can be read, written, and executed by machine locally or remotely, and perform the function of information management and exchange.
