COMPUTERIZED SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OFFLINE SOCIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
First Claim
1. A system for offline social recommendations comprising:
- a first memory component for storing interest values associated with a plurality of users;
a second memory component for storing characteristic values associated with a plurality of offline networking activities;
a computer implemented interpersonal networking component operable to;
determine a first recommendation for a first user of the plurality of users, wherein the first recommendation corresponds to a first offline networking activity of the plurality of offline networking activities, and wherein the first recommendation is determined at least based on a comparison between a first interest value associated with the first user and a first characteristic value associated with the first offline networking activity;
request first feedback from the first user, where the first feedback is requested responsive to the first user attending the first offline networking activity;
request second feedback from a second user of the plurality of users, wherein the second feedback is requested responsive to the second user attending the first offline networking activity;
update the first interest value based at least on the first feedback and second feedback; and
determine a second recommendation for the first user, wherein the second recommendation corresponds to a second offline networking activity of the plurality of offline networking activities, and wherein the second recommendation is determined at least based on a comparison between the updated first interest value and a second characteristic value associated with the second offline networking activity.

Abstract
Offline social recommendation systems, interactions, interfaces, and methods are disclosed for utilizing user interests and characteristics in the generation and selection of recommendations for offline social networking. An interpersonal network manager maintains data on user characteristics and interests, and updates this data based on direct feedback and inferences drawn from various kinds of user-associated information. The interpersonal network manager generates characteristics or other matching scores associated with a set of interpersonal interactions, such as offline networking activities, and selects interpersonal interactions to recommend to a user based on relationships between the matching scores associated with each interpersonal interaction and any characteristics and interests associated with the user.

4. A computer-implemented method for providing offline social recommendations comprising:
-
determining, by at least one computing device, a first recommendation for a first offline social activity, wherein the first recommendation is determined at least in part on the basis of a comparison between a first activity matching value corresponding to the first offline social activity and a first user matching value corresponding to a first user; updating, by at least one computing device, the first user matching value based at least in part on feedback received from a second user attending the first offline social activity; and determining, by at least one computing device, a second recommendation for a second offline social activity, wherein the second recommendation is determined at least in part on the basis of a comparison between a second activity matching value corresponding to the second offline social activity and the updated first user matching value corresponding to the first user. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
