System and method for optimizing access to a resource based on social synchrony and homophily
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a server connected to a network, requests for access to a resource from user devices via the network and the user devices being associated with users;
allocating, by the server, a capacity of the server to a first capacity to enable the server to provide the user devices with a first level of access to the resource;
providing, by the server, the resource to the user devices utilizing the first capacity;
identifying, by the server, from the users, a group of users comprising a portion of the users that share one of a common user characteristic and a common user behavior as observed in association with a first domain;
selecting, by the server, a monitored user from the group of users;
monitoring, by the server, a behavior of the monitored user with respect to a second domain different from the first domain;
predicting, by the server and based on the behavior of the monitored user, an expected behavior of a non-monitored user of the group of users with respect to the resource; and
upon determining that the predicted expected behavior of the non-monitored user of the group of the users is more closely associated with a second capacity of the server, allocating, by the server, the capacity of the server to the second capacity to enable the server to provide the user devices a second level of access to the resource, and providing, by the server, the resource to the user devices utilizing the second capacity.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for managing resources. A system for managing resources is configured for categorizing users according to at least one of common user characteristics and common user behaviors with respect to at least a first domain to yield a group of users. The system is also configured for identifying a resource associated with at least one user behavior in a second domain different from the first domain during a first time interval for at least one user from the group of users. The system is further configured for modifying an accessibility of the resource, during a second time interval after the first time interval, with respect to the second domain for at least other users in the group of users based on the at least one user behavior.

10. A system comprising:
-
a server having a processor and a network interface; and the server performs; receiving requests for access to a resource from user devices via the network interface and the user devices being associated with users; allocating a capacity of the server to a first capacity to enable the server to provide the user devices with a first level of access to the resource; providing the resource to the user devices utilizing the first capacity; identifying, from the users, a group of users comprising a portion of the users that share one of a common user characteristic and a common user behavior as observed in association with a first domain; selecting a monitored user from the group of users; monitoring a behavior of the monitored user with respect to a second domain different from the first domain; predicting, based on the behavior of the monitored user, an expected behavior of a non-monitored user of the group of users with respect to the resource; and upon determining that the predicted expected behavior of the non-monitored user of the group of the users is more closely associated with a second capacity of the server, allocating the capacity of the server to the second capacity to enable the server to provide the user devices a second level of access to the resource, and providing, by the server, the resource to the user devices utilizing the second capacity. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
