Systems And Methods For Contacting An Acquaintance
First Claim
1. In a computer system including a server and a database of registered users, a method comprising the steps of:
- providing for viewing at a first location, a first interactive user interface adapted for entry of searchable data, whereby a first user enters a plurality of first searchable data; and
,providing for viewing at a second location, a second interactive interface, whereby a second user enters a plurality of second searchable data;
comparing by the computer system the searchable data of the first and second users using predetermined criteria to generate a rank according to a quality of the data match; and
,presenting one of the first or second user with the rank of the data match.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed enabling users to post searchable data, such as information about themselves and others as well as details of a personal encounter such as the date, time and place where it occurred, to a user interface in a computer network. Search and match quality tools generate possible encounter matches based on comparisons of the information posted by a first and second user and provide potential matches ranked by quality of the match. Accordingly, the system and methods provide a place where people can post information about previous encounters (or proposed future encounters), lost contacts, and the like and to contact the potential encounter subject. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of allowing a reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure contained herein and should not be used to interpret or to limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

19. A computing apparatus comprising:
-
a processor; a memory communicating with the processor; and a storage media communicating with the processor and the memory, the storage media comprising a set of processor executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the computing apparatus to generate a match report, the configuration comprising a configuration to; provide a first interactive interface at a first location, the first interactive interface adapted for entry of searchable data by a first user; provide a second interactive interface at a second location, the second interactive interface adapted for entry of searchable data by a second user; receiving from the first and second locations the searchable data; comparing the searchable data from the first location to the searchable data from the second location; generating a rank based on the comparison; and providing the rank to the first or the second locations. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
