Systems and methods for matching users

A server for selecting a group of users for an online gaming application, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory;
• and
• a plurality of programs stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the server to perform a plurality of operations including:
• receiving, from a client device, a user matching request corresponding to a second user of the online gaming application, the user matching request indicating a level of the second user playing the online gaming application;
• adding the second user to a list of multiple users to be matched, each of the multiple users to be matched being associated with a respective user matching request from a corresponding client playing the online gaming application;
• generating a predetermined number of user groups from the list of multiple users to be matched, each user group including the second user;
• calculating one or more first matching degrees for each of the predetermined number of user groups including the second user according to a corresponding level matching degree between the level of the second user and a level of another user in a same user group playing the online gaming application;
• selecting, among the predetermined number of user groups, a second user group having a highest first matching degree associated with the levels of users in the second user group;
• returning information of users in the second user group to the client device, wherein the second user joins with the other users in the second user group for playing the online gaming application together;
• and
• deleting all the users in the second user group including the second user from the list of multiple users to be matched after returning information of users in the second user group to the client.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising programming instructions for selecting a group of users for an online gaming application, the programming instructions configured to cause one or more processors of a server to execute a plurality of operations comprising:

• receiving, from a client device, a user matching request corresponding to a second user of the online gaming application, the user matching request indicating a level of the second user playing the online gaming application;
• adding the second user to a list of multiple users to be matched, each of the multiple users to be matched being associated with a respective user matching request from a corresponding client playing the online gaming application;
• generating a predetermined number of user groups from the list of multiple users to be matched, each user group including the second user;
• calculating one or more first matching degrees for each of the predetermined number of user groups including the second user according to a corresponding level matching degree between the level of the second user and a level of another user in a same user group playing the online gaming application;
• selecting, among the predetermined number of user groups, a second user group having a highest first matching degree associated with the levels of users in the second user group;
• returning information of users in the second user group to the client device, wherein the second user joins with the other users in the second user group for playing the online gaming application together;
• and
• deleting all the users in the second user group including the second user from the list of multiple users to be matched after returning information of users in the second user group to the client.
