Abstract

An electronic platform allowing users to form and organize groups of member profiles, which contain a number of biographical categories (e.g., name, address, etc.) and a personal photo. The electronic platform incorporates many different methods of testing the user to assist in the memorization of the faces and biographical information of the members of the group, i.e., electronic flash cards (one sided or two sided), multiple choice quizzes, etc. The users then may either create their own custom tests or they may use predesigned quizzes generated by the electronic platform.

Claims

1. A computerized system for forming and organizing groups of member profiles, said system comprising:

a computer network wherein a plurality of computers have access to said computer network; and

an electronic platform in said computer network, wherein said electronic platform is configured to receive requests from any one of said plurality of computers, said electronic platform comprising;

a database comprising biographical information of a plurality of individual members, said database organized into groups of individual member profiles, and said biographical information comprising name, address, city phone, number and/or a photograph of each of said individual members; and

an interface in communication with said database, said interface configured to access a particular group of member profiles, said interface configured to aid in memorization said biographical information of said individual members within said particular group of member profiles;

said interface of said electronic platform further comprising;

electronic flash cards comprising a primary side and a secondary side, said primary side of said flash cards consisting of said photograph of one of said individual members, said secondary side consisting of said biographical information corresponding to said one of said individual members; and

multiple choice quizzes comprising a primary quiz category and a plurality of secondary quiz categories, said primary quiz category comprising said photograph of one of said individual members, said secondary quiz categories comprising said name, address, city or phone number of said individual members in said particular group of member profiles.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein said computer network comprises the internet or a host-based computer system.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein said electronic platform comprises a web-based application or a mobile-based application.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein said database further comprises organizational information about said groups of individual member profiles.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein said database further contains a plurality of display formats, wherein each of said display formats specify a display format.

6. The system of claim 5 further comprising a display page composer means for merging said information in said database with one of said display formats to generate a display page which is communicated to said electronic platform.

7. A computer-implemented method for memorizing biographical information of a group of individual member profiles using the system of claim 1.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein said database further comprises organizational information about said groups of individual member profiles.

9. The method of claim 7 wherein said database further comprises a plurality of biographical data categories common to all of said individual members or to all of said groups of individual member profiles, and said biographical data categories configured to be selectively activated and deactivated for display on said electronic flash cards and/or said multiple choice quizzes.

10. The method of claim 7 wherein said interface of said electronic platform is configured to alternate between said primary side and said secondary side of said electronic flash cards in response to a user selection.

11. The method of claim 7 wherein said interface of said electronic platform is configured to display said primary quiz category of said multiple choice quizzes and to capture a user selection of one of said secondary quiz categories in response to said display of said primary quiz category.

12. The method of claim 7 wherein said interface of said electronic platform is configured to display each of said individual members within said particular group of said individual member profiles.

13. The method of claim 7 wherein said primary quiz category consists of said photograph of said one of said individual member profiles, said secondary quiz categories consist of said biographical information corresponding to said one of said individual member profiles.

14. The system of claim 1 wherein said database further comprises a plurality of biographical data categories common to all of said individual members or to all of said groups of individual member profiles, and said biographical data categories configured to be selectively activated and deactivated for display on said electronic flash cards and/or said multiple choice quizzes.

15. The system of claim 1 wherein said interface of said electronic platform is configured to alternate between said primary side and said secondary side of said electronic flash cards in response to a user selection.

16. The system of claim 1 wherein said interface of said electronic platform is configured to display said primary quiz category of said multiple choice quizzes and to capture a user selection of one of said secondary quiz categories in response to said display of said primary quiz category.

17. The system of claim 1 wherein said interface of said electronic platform is configured to display each of said individual members within said particular group of said individual member profiles.

18. The system of claim 1 wherein said primary quiz category consists of said photograph of said one of said individual member profiles, said secondary quiz categories consist of said biographical information corresponding to said one of said individual member profiles.
