Dynamic identification of other users to an online user
First Claim
1. A method of informing dynamically a user of a large scale network of other network users, the method comprising:
- determining dynamically an online context of the user;
identifying other users presently within the online context of the user;
storing trait information related essentially only to the user or to the other users in a users store related to the online context; and
informing the user dynamically of the other users based on the stored trait information.

Abstract
Informing a user of a large scale network dynamically of other network users includes determining dynamically an online context of the user. Other users presently within the online context of the user are identified and trait information is stored that is related essentially only to the user or to the other users in a users store associated with the online context. The user is informed dynamically of the other users based on the stored trait information, such as, for example, an age or other demographic identifier, or information indicative of an expertise, interest, preference, user type and/or other quality of the user or of the other individual.

56. A system of informing dynamically a user of a large scale network of other network users, the system comprising:
-
a context determination service configured to determine dynamically an online context of the user;
an identification service configured to identify other users presently within the online context of the user;
an information storage service configured to store trait information related essentially only to the user or to the other users in a users store related to the online context; and
an informing service configured to inform the user dynamically of the other users based on the stored trait information.

57. A computer program stored on a computer readable medium or a propagated signal for informing dynamically a user of a large scale network of other network users, the computer program comprising:
-
a context determination code segment that causes a computer to determine dynamically an online context of the user;
an identification code segment that causes the computer to identify other users presently within the online context of the user;
an information storage code segment that causes the computer to store trait information related essentially only to the user or to the other users in a users store related to the online context; and
an informing code segment that causes the computer to inform the user dynamically of the other users based on the stored trait information.
