Abstract

A system, a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, and a computer-implemented method are described herein are directed to an Invitation Conversion Engine that generate a first social network invitation for transmission to a first external identifier of a potential member account from a first member account of a social network service. The Invitation Conversion Engine generates a second social network invitation for transmission to the first external identifier of from a second member account. Based on receipt of an acceptance of the second social network invitation, the Invitation Conversion Engine instantiates a new member account associated with the first external identifier. The Invitation Conversion Engine converts the first social network invitation to a first social network connection request from the first member account for the new member account. The Invitation Conversion Engine provides the first social network connection request to the new member account.

Dependent claims

A computer system, comprising:

a processor;
a memory device holding an instruction set executable on the processor to cause the computer system to perform operations comprising:
generating a first social network invitation for transmission to a first external identifier of a potential member account from a first member account of a social network service;
generating a second social network invitation for transmission to the first external identifier of the potential member account from a second member account of the social network service;
based on receipt of an acceptance of the second social network invitation:
instantiating a new member account associated with the first external identifier via a member identifier;
converting the first social network invitation to a first social network connection request from the first member account for the new member account;
and
providing the first social network connection request to the new member account.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

generating a first social network invitation for transmission to a first external identifier of a potential member account from a first member account of a social network service;
generating a second social network invitation for transmission to the first external identifier of the potential member account from a second member account of the social network service;
based on receipt of an acceptance of the second social network invitation:
instantiating, via at least one hardware processor, a new member account associated with the first external identifier via a member identifier;
converting the first social network invitation to a first social network connection request from the first member account for the new member account;
and
providing the first social network connection request to the new member account.

4 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:

generating a first social network invitation for transmission to a first external identifier of a potential member account from a first member account of a social network service;
generating a second social network invitation for transmission to the first external identifier of the potential member account from a second member account of the social network service;
based on receipt of an acceptance of the second social network invitation:
instantiating a new member account associated with the first external identifier via a member identifier;
converting the first social network invitation to a first social network connection request from the first member account for the new member account;
and
providing the first social network connection request to the new member account.
