Abstract
Described herein is a transient social network that exists as long as its members are physically together. Members become a part of a private social network, referred to as a Cliq, which is facilitated by the use of an application on participant's mobile devices. The Cliq instance is recorded on a server automatically, storing the place and time of the participants meeting. A meta-identity profile of the Cliq is established and content is recommended or desired content is retrieved upon request.
Claims19
A method for transmitting at least one content item to a group of participants in an exclusive transient social network based on a meta-identity of the group, the method comprising:
- forming the exclusive transient social network between at least two participants through a mobile application installed on the participants' mobile devices;
- retrieving, at a server, attributes pertaining to the at least two participants in the exclusive transient social network;
- creating, at a server, the meta-identity for the exclusive transient social network by weighing and combining the retrieved attributes;
- deriving relevant data from the meta-identity;
- and
- transmitting from a server, to the participants' mobile devices, content items based on the derived relevant data, wherein at least one of the content item is an exclusive digital coupon associated with a vendor that offers products or services, and wherein the exclusive digital coupon is dynamically created based on predefined criteria associated with the vendor and the derived relevant data;
- transmitting the content items to the participants' mobile devices.
A system for issuing an exclusive and customized digital coupons, comprising:
- server circuitry configured to:
- receive and register information about a formation of an entity consisting of at least one participant;
- compare a characteristic of the profile to a stored vendors predefined criteria by accessing a central repository of electronically stored predefined criteria associated with the vendors;
- a generate at least one exclusive and redeemable digital coupon upon determining that the profile has characteristics that match at least one vendor's predefined criteria;
- and
- send the at least one exclusive and redeemable coupon to a computing device associated with the entity over a communication link.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, cause performance of:
- receiving information about a formation of an entity that consist of at least one participant;
- extracting at least some of the received information to create at least one profile parameter for the entity;
- comparing the at least one profile parameter to a stored predefined criteria associated with different vendors;
- generating at least one customized digital coupon upon determining that the at least one profile parameter matches at least one vendor's predefined criteria;
- and
- sending the at least one customized digital coupon to a remote computing device over a communications link.
