Mobile communications matching system
First Claim
1. A mobile device operable within a wireless communications network, the mobile device comprising:
- a communications device adapted to receive wireless communication indications of a match that occurred within the wireless communications network between a profile, stored in said wireless network and associated with a first user of said mobile device, and another profile, stored in said wireless network and associated with a second user of another mobile device,wherein said match is based on similarities between said profiles and on a relative location of said mobile device and said another mobile device, said similarities including a matched field of the profiles identifying the first user and the second user as persons attending an event, and wherein said match is based on sequentially expanding a matching area until said match occurs, up to a threshold distance from said relative location of said mobile device.

Abstract
A wireless communications network comprises a server in a central location storing matching profiles for a plurality of users of the network. The matching profile for each user is stored in the server through the user'"'"'s mobile unit or a secure page on the Internet. Each matching profile is corresponded with a respective mobile unit using the same identification information (ID) of the respective mobile unit utilized for carrying out phone calls. The server has a customizable variable matching algorithm and probes the matching profiles corresponding to the respective mobile units in a cell or group of cells for a match every time a new mobile unit subscribes into the cell or group of cells. When there is a match of matching profiles, the two persons are put in contact or advised of each other through a phone call or other communications method.

- 18. A mobile device operable within a wireless communications network, the mobile device adapted to receive a wireless communication indication of a match between a profile associated with the mobile device and another profile associated with another mobile device, the match being based on similar features of said profile and said another profile and on a relative location of said mobile device and said another mobile device, said relative location including a distance between said mobile device and said another mobile device and wherein the match is based on sequentially expanding a matching area until the match occurs, up to a threshold distance from the relative location of the mobile device.
