System and Method for User Profile Creation and Access Control
First Claim
1. A computer network implemented system for enabling one or more interactions between a first entity and one or more second entities related to a second entity selecting the first entity based on a selection process, the system comprising:
- at least one server computer, the server computer including;
(a) an information collection utility that enables at least the first entity to collect and store to a database linked to the server computer one or more information objects;
(b) a workflow manager that defines and implements a plurality of stages of the one or more interactions and associated with the selection process; and
(c) a profile manager that permits the first entity to define one or more parameters for sharing the information objects automatically with the one or more second entities in connection with the interactions enabled by the system, and selectively associating the parameters with particular information objects, or portions of information objects, including based on the stages.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for creating and sharing user profiles. In an illustrative embodiment, the system includes a computer network with one or more networked computer devices having a processor and a memory, and the system is adapted to: create a user profile module for creating a user-owned user profile including sensitive information; receive a plurality of privacy settings to control access to the user-owned user profile; match the user-owned user profile with one or more interested parties based on a commonality of interest; and in dependence upon the plurality of privacy settings received, and confirmation of permission to access, provide access to the user-owned user profile to the one or more interested parties. The user profiles are entirely user-owned and the owner of a user profile has full control over access to the user profile by one or more third parties based on a plurality of privacy settings.

11. A computer network implemented method for enabling one or more interactions between a first entity and one or more second entities related to a second entity selecting the first entity based on a selection process, the method comprising:
-
(a) the first entity uploading one or more information objects to a computer network connected server computer; (b) the first entity using a profile manager to define one or more parameters for sharing the information objects, or portions thereof, automatically with the one or more second entities in connection with the interactions related to the selection process, and selectively associating the parameters with particular information objects, or portions of information objects, including based on a plurality of stages of the one or more interactions and associated with the selection process; and (c) using a workflow manager to proceed through the stages of the selection process and automatically share information objects, or portions of information objects, based on the current stage of the selection process. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
