Environment-Responsive People Matching System and Method
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented people matching method comprising:
- assessing an environmental condition local to a first user of a first mobile processor-based device;
assessing an environmental condition local to a second user of a second mobile processor-based device; and
generating a match, by means of a processor-based device, of the first user and the second user in accordance with an inference of mutual interest that is based, at least in part, on the environmental conditions.

Abstract
An environment-responsive people matching system and method matches people in accordance with inferences of mutual interests based, at least in part, on environmental conditions local to the people being matched. Other behavioral information, proximity, and mobility inferences may also influence the matching. Relationships with varying degree of affinity between matched people may be generated in accordance with the inferences. Explanations for the suggested matches may be delivered to the matched people.

8. A computer-implemented people matching system comprising:
-
a computer-implemented function that assesses an environmental condition local to a first user; and a matching function executed on a processor-based device that infers a mutual interest between a first user and a second user based, at least in part on the environmental condition. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-implemented people matching method comprising:
-
inferring the proximity of a first person using a first mobile processor based computing device and a second person using a second mobile processor-based computing device based, at least in part, on an environmental condition; and matching the first person and the second person based, at least in part, on the inferred proximity. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
