Let’s try to imagine some examples of use of the UCI. Let’s say we need a new job and as well some vacation in our dream place, both very common needs nowadays. Using our favorite interface (cellular, computer, TV ..) we would log into our Zentric Pod. There we would choose the Job Search interface and create a task defining the job we are searching for, as detailed as possible and finally we would activate the task. We could load one or more CVs as well as standard templates for answering to positions offers.
Same for the trip task, in the Trip Deal Search Interface we would define the destination prefered dates and price range. We could define a task for an inmediate purchase of a flight ticket or a much more heavier task such as finding the best trip somewhere in 4 months from now, without precise dates and with a length from 7 to 10 days.
These two tasks would be active and working 24 h to search and listen the offers available on the internet. When matches of our request would be found we would get notified in the ways we choose : email, sms, Zentric Pod messsage box, etc.
From the job offer finds we would decide whether we need to refine our search parameters to filter those offers that involve Fortran programming (!) for instance, or to filter the offers coming from a certain fishy employment company. For the positions we are interested in we could ask to send the CV plus a few words, and we could set the “automatic send” of CV to all positions with those characteristics. Eventually when an employer would interested on us it would send us an email or call us.
We could have setup up our ZentricPod with the data to perform purchases. If the Interfaces in ZentricPod would have history record of tasks performed it could help to make much faster the next tasks based on the preferences that we already used in a previoud succesful operation. Say the monthly flight to NY, we know and the ZentricPod could now our prefered ours, airlines and stop by conditions.
All these theories are not new and most of them already implemented in the SCI in different websites where one can find efficiently job positions of trip deals. Remember this journey to find out if the UCI is possible what involves and its consequences.
[...] First thing we need are the interfaces for the users to post his requests and get the answers. A “user” being any individual person on his behalf or for a group or company. There should be one single login to all his possibilities in the UCI, a central account to his UCI Pod. The access to the Pod should be possible from any device, cellular, computer, TV .. i.e any device hooked to the Internet. The Pod would contain different specialized interfaces for different purposes as well as a message center, let’s say the Job Search Interface and Travel Deal Search Interface. I described the way to work in the Pod in a previous post “One day in the UCI“. [...]
