1. A classification system comprising:
- an input manager receiving at least one action;
a classification manager operatively connected to the input manager and receiving the at least one action, the classification manager for updating at least one of a profile classification, a relationship classification, or a network classification in response to the at least one action; and
a database operatively connected to and storing the profile classification, the relationship classification, and the network classification;
wherein the at least one action is any one of a set of acts that impact on a profile classification, a relationship classification, or a network classification.

Abstract
A system and method of classifying historic and real-time social contacts of one or more mobile users in such a manner that classification structures are implemented. Those classification structures are maintained in a database and updated with additional information that can either be found or heuristically inferred. The maintained classification structures can be searched to obtain information or used to send alerts that notify others of a change in a social network, such as an alert to a parent when their child'"'"'s social network changes.

11. A computer-implemented method of classifying social network contacts, comprising:
-
awaiting a social contact action that impacts on a classification; updating a profile classification upon the occurrence of a social contact action; updating a relationship classification upon the occurrence of a social contact action; updating a network classification upon the occurrence of a social contact action; obtaining additional information from a cellular infrastructure, wherein the additional information relates to at least one of the profile classification, relationship classification, and network classification; updating at least one of the profile classification, the relationship classification, and the network classification using a heuristic assumption; and answering a query based on at least one of the profile classification, the relationship classification, and the network classification. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A system comprising non-transitory computer readable storage media comprising coded instructions to:
-
form an input manager for receiving at least one social contact action from a mobile device; put into operation a database operatively storing a profile classification, a relationship classification, and a network classification; and produce a classification manager that is operatively connected to the input manager for receiving at least one social contact action, wherein the classification manager updates at least one of the profile classification, relationship classification, or network classification in the database in response to the at least one social contact action; wherein the at least one social contact action is any one of a set of acts that impact on the profile classification, the relationship classification, or the network classification. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A classification system comprising:
-
an input manager receiving information related to a social interaction performed by a first person and a second person; a classification manager operatively connected to the input manager and receiving the social interaction information, the classification manager updating at least one of a profile classification of the first person, a relationship classification of the first person, and a network classification of the first person in response to the received social interaction information; and a database operatively connected to and storing the profile classification of the first person, the relationship classification of the first person, and the network classification of the first person; wherein the social interaction is any one of a set of acts that impact on a profile classification, a relationship classification, or a network classification. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54)
