Abstract

A method for matching in a social-networking system. The method includes obtaining a first criteria from a first user, displaying, on the social-network, a first request that corresponds to the first criteria, receiving first bids from second users who satisfy the first request, filtering the first bids to a first predetermined number, displaying, to the first user, profiles associated with remaining second users, accepting, from among the remaining second users, a selected second user selected by the first user, creating a mapping between the first user and the selected second user and a mapping between the first user and each of eliminated second users, and matching the first user and the selected second user.

Claims

1. -20. (canceled)

21. A communication system comprising:

a base station apparatus comprising a processor, the base station apparatus is operatively connected to a Location Service Client (LSC) that identifies a location of the base station apparatus;

a first mobile station; and

a second mobile station having an Internet Protocol location (IP location),

wherein the processor is configured to;

obtain, from the first mobile station associated with a first social-networking account, a request,

transmit the request to the second mobile station, the second mobile station is associated with a second social-networking account,

receive a bid from the second mobile station to fill the request,

detect that the location of the base station apparatus is not a location of the IP location and determine that the bid is an invalid bid, and

not transmit a user profile of the second social-networking account to the first mobile station.

22. The system according to claim 21, wherein the request includes at least one selected from a group consisting of:

a ré

sumé

that includes an employment history, a gender requirement, a sexual orientation requirement, an educational attainment requirement, a language requirement, an hourly rate requirement, and a social-networking rating.

28. The system according to claim 21, wherein:

the first social-networking account and the second-networking account are linked on a first social-networking platform, and

the processor further transmits a blacklist message to the first mobile station that causes the first social-networking account to blacklist the second social-networking account on the first social-networking platform.

29. The system according to claim 28, wherein the processor is further configured to:

detect that the first social-networking account is linked to the second social-networking account on a second social-networking platform, and

alert the first mobile station that the first social-networking account is linked to the second social-networking account on the second social-networking platform.

41. The system according to claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to transmit the user profile of the second social-networking account to the first mobile station if the first mobile station has whitelisted the second social-networking account.

42. The system according to claim 21, wherein the LSC identifies the location of the base station using a user bearer identifier and an Interworking Packet Access Gateway.

23. -27. (canceled)

30. A communication method of a first mobile station, a second mobile station having an Internet Protocol location (IP location), and a base station apparatus comprising a processor in which the base station apparatus is operatively connected to a Location Service Client (LSC) that identifies a location of the base station, the communication method comprising:

obtaining, by the processor, a request from the first mobile station associated with a first social-networking account;

transmitting, by the processor, the request to the second mobile station associated with a second social-networking account;

receiving, by the processor, a bid from the second mobile station to fill the request;

detecting that the location of the base station apparatus is not the IP location and determining that the bid is an invalid bid; and

not transmitting a user profile of the second social-networking account to the first mobile station.

31. The method according to claim 30, wherein the request includes at least one selected from a group consisting of:

a ré

sumé

that includes an employment history, a gender requirement, a sexual orientation requirement, an educational attainment requirement, a language requirement, an hourly rate requirement, and a social-networking rating.

37. The method according to claim 30, wherein:

the first social-networking account and the second social-networking account are linked on a first social-networking platform, and

the method further comprises transmitting a blacklist message to the first mobile station that causes the first social-networking account to blacklist the second social-networking account on the first social-networking platform.

38. The method according to claim 37, wherein further comprising:

detecting that the first social-networking account is linked to the second social-networking account on a second social-networking platform, and

alerting the first mobile station that the first social-networking account is linked to second social-networking account on the second social-networking platform.
