Abstract

The subject matter discloses a system and methods for facilitating a platform for anonymous coupling via a computerized network. In some embodiments, the computerized network is an internet network. Such a platform enables a user to find a match with one or more other users according to profile definition without exposing his identity.

Claims

1. A method for anonymous coupling, the method comprising:

associating in a first data repository, a profile of a first user with an impersonal identification of said first user;

wherein said profile of said first user comprises an at least one first characteristic,

providing to a second data repository, said impersonal identification of said first user;

said providing being for associating said impersonal identification with a communication address in said second data repository;

receiving, from a computerized device of a second user, a request for anonymous coupling;

wherein said request comprising a queried profile,

comparing said first profile with said second profile;

retrieving from said first data repository said impersonal identification associated with said first profile as a result of identifying said first profile being substantially identical with said second profile; and

providing to said second data repository said impersonal identification;

said providing being for retrieving from said second data repository said communication address associated with said impersonal identification for utilizing said communication address for establishing a communication session between said first user and said second user;

wherein an identity of said first user cannot be detected by said impersonal identification;

thereby preventing a non authorized user the identification of said first user according to said first characteristic.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said communication device being a cellular telephone.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said impersonal identification being one member of a group consisting of a hash value, a random number, a serial number and a random string.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said first profile comprises a hash tag.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one first characteristic comprises a free text.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said identifying said first profile being substantially identical with said second profile being as a result of identifying at least one first characteristic of said first profile being substantially identical with at least one characteristic of said queried profile.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said communication address being one member of a group consisting of an IP address and a telephone number.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein said first data repository and said second data repository being separated.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a registration request from a first computerized device of said first user, wherein said registration request comprises said first profile of said first user.

10. A method for coupling, the method comprising:

receiving from a computerized device of a first user a request for coupling with a second user;

said request comprising a queried profile;

returning to said computerized device an at least one unmatched profile;

wherein said at least one unmatched profile being associated with a second user;

wherein said second user being associated with an at least one denied matching request; and

establishing a communication session between said first user to and said second user as a result of a request for coupling from said first user.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising transmitting said unmatched profile to a third user as a result of receiving a request for said transmitting from said first user.

12. A computer program product for anonymous coupling, said computer program product comprising:

a computer readable storage medium having encoded thereon;

first program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to associate in a first data repository, a profile of a first user with an impersonal identification of said first user;

wherein said profile of said first user comprises an at least one first characteristic,

second program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to provide to a second data repository said impersonal identification of said first user;

said providing being for associating said impersonal identification with a communication address in said second data repository;

third program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to receive, from a computerized device of a second user, a request for anonymous coupling;

wherein said request comprising a queried profile,

fourth program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to compare said first profile with said second profile;

fifth program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to retrieve from said first data repository said impersonal identification associated with said first profile as a result of identifying said first profile being substantially identical with said second profile; and

sixth program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to provide to said second data repository said impersonal identification;

said providing being for retrieving from said second data repository said communication address associated with said impersonal identification for utilizing said communication address for establishing a communication session between said first user and said second user;

wherein an identity of said first user cannot be detected by said impersonal identification;

thereby preventing a non authorized user the identification of said first user according to said first characteristic.
