First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method performed by one or more computing devices, comprising:
- identifying, using the one or more computing devices, event participants participating in a real-time event currently happening based on information that is indicative of participation by the event participants in the real-time event;
in response to identifying event participants participating in the real-time event based on the information, creating, using the one or more computing devices, an activity-based social network associated with the real-time event, the activity-based social network being accessible through an electronic portal, the electronic portal enabling interaction among the event participants in association with the real-time event; and
outputting, using the one or more computing devices, data for the electronic portal to computing devices associated with the event participants.

Abstract
A system for creating an activity-based social includes receiving information from a computing device of a participant in an activity, and determining that the information qualifies the participant for membership in a social network associated with the activity. The system also includes associating the participant with the social network, and enabling access, by the participant, to an electronic portal that provides access to the social network.

16. A method performed by one or more processing devices, comprising:
-
receiving, using the one or more processing devices, information from a computing device of an event participant participating in a real-time event currently happening; determining, using the one or more processing devices, that the information qualifies the event participant for membership in an activity-based social network associated with the real-time event; associating, using the one or more processing devices, the event participant with the activity-based social network; and enabling, using the one or more processing devices, access, by the event participant, to an electronic portal that provides access to the activity-based social network. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; an identification engine executable by the one or more processors to identify event participants participating in a real-time event currently happening based on information that is indicative of participation by the event participants in the real-time event; a generator executable by the one or more processors in response to identifying event participants participating in the real-time event based on the information, to create an activity-based social network associated with the real-time event, the activity-based social network being accessible through an electronic portal, the electronic portal enabling interaction among the event participants in association with the real-time event; and a server executable by the one or more processors to output data for the electronic portal to computing devices associated with the event participants.

27. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; an identification engine executable by the one or more processors to receive information from a computing device of an event participant in a real-time event currently happening event, and to determine that the information qualifies the event participant for membership in an activity-based social network associated with the real-time event; a generator executable by the one or more processors to associate the event participant with the activity-based social network; and a server executable by the one or more processors to enable access, by the event participant, to an electronic portal that provides access to the activity-based social network.

28. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed by one or more computing devices causes the one or more computing devices to perform steps comprising:
-
identifying event participants participating in a real-time event currently happening based on information that is indicative of participation by the event participants in the real-time event; in response to identifying event participants participating in an event based on the information, creating an activity-based social network associated with the real-time event, the activity-based social network being accessible through an electronic portal, the electronic portal enabling interaction among the event participants in association with the real-time event; and outputting data for the electronic portal to computing devices associated with the event participants. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32)
