Abstract

A computer implemented matching method for matching a user with one or more romantically compatible users of the method. In one example the method comprises: receiving a profile generated by recording user choices from a field of images displayed to the user; applying a logistics regression model to the image choices to determine compatibility between two users. Creating a baseline template of the user'"'"'s aesthetic preferences then applying this model to templates created from other users of the method. Any results within a desired confidence level are returned to the user. For mutual compatibility the user'"'"'s own image is compared to that of the query'"'"'s preference template to determine the presence of mutually compatible aesthetic attraction. Users can also use facial recognition to run personality test on themselves or potential matches to determine a if there is personality compatibility to the combination as well.

Claims

1. A computer implemented matching method, for matching a user with one or more other romantically compatible users of the method, operable on a server comprising a processor and memory and connected to a network, comprising:

prompting user to upload personal photograph of self;

prompting user to indicate whether he or she would like a personality analysis run on profile photograph;

prompting user to indicate locational preference and geographic proximity to desired matches;

receiving an image of user;

receiving answers to a personality profile from an analysis of personality determined by facial features;

generate a personality score for user based on facial characteristics;

performing a facial recognition process on the image and storing the result of the process on the server as a template on a unique server with the intention of the using as a reference to match, with a baseline template of the aesthetic preferences of other users;

receiving a template image comprising an image of a human face and storing a result of the process on the server for matching with other users of the method;

presenting a field of thumbnail images of other user'"'"'s of the methods photographs to user;

user is expected to choose photographs of other users of the method out of field, most likely thumbnails on a mobile device;

performing facial recognition processes on the chosen faces and creating a template for each including additional data such as ordinal choice in field, time between screen populated and choice, time between second choice, third number of choices per screen and number of pictures actually chosen and storing the process on the server;

create baseline template for a user'"'"'s aesthetic ideal using a facial recognition morphing function using all chosen pictures;

weighting each picture according to above measures, ordinal, time, range, so that morphing function creates a more accurate baseline facial template;

applying the following binomial regression equation to each subsequent template to determine predictability of;

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user is presented with a series of prompts and is requested to input information regarding the user'"'"'s kissing techniques and preferences, the method further comprising:

delivering a swab sample set to user and requesting the user to swab the inside of their cheek for providing a DNA enriched saliva sample;

processing the saliva sample to return genetic information including potential genetic compatibility with other users;

providing the user with a ID number wherein the user'"'"'s sample is available on the server to be processed and matched against other users IDs for compatibility matching purposes;

combining the kissing profile with that of the saliva test and matching that against other users profiles and test;

returning compatible match results to user; and

the method further comprising;

aggregate outlying data to determine if there is any secondary or tertiary facial type'"'"'s user would be attracted to and applying claim one to these to determine if there is any alternate template possible to that of the baseline.

3. The method of claim 1, the method further comprising:

process of claim 1 where user'"'"'s image is populated onto that of their preferred choices screen/s and that user/s choice/s and preferences are recorded;

compatibility is then determined based on threshold determined by program and weighted at a confidence interval;

users are prompted to indicate if they are free or interested in meeting, chatting, or just looking for the future;

any individual users whose combined scores fall within the 95% or above confidence interval for a mutual match result in both users being contacted through email, short message service (SMS) or other means that a mutual match is available and inside the required geographic proximity.
