A social interaction system, comprising:
- a network-connected server executing software from a non-transitory medium coupled to a data repository;
- a plurality of network-connected smart phones by which individual members are enabled to communicate with the server and with one another, each smart phone executing a global-positioning system (GPS) application, and each smart phone associated with a specific individual member;
- an application executing on individual ones of the smart phones, the application providing interactive interfaces on a touch screen of the smart phones by which the individual members are enabled to interact with functions of the server and with smart phones of other individual members, the functions provided through execution of the software at the server;
- individual member profiles stored in the data repository created by the individual members using specifically the smart phone associated with the individual member, the member profiles comprising photographs captured by the smart phone associated with the individual member creating the profile, a biography comprising age, education, gender, birthplace, education history, and professional history, a greeting video created by the individual member using the smart phone associated with the individual member creating the profile, and a list of interests;
- business profiles stored in the data repository identifying business members of the social interaction system, the business profiles comprising name, nature and location of the business, and information regarding real-time activity at the business;
- wherein the system dynamically creates geographic regions determined by OPS coordinates of both individual members whose smart phones are active, GPS location of member businesses and GPS proximity of the individual member's active smart phones and GPS locations of member businesses, and wherein, upon a first member becoming active in a specific region by logging into the application using the network-connected smart phone, the system presents to that newly active first member on the touch screen of the smart phone associated with that member, a specific list of activity interests, and invites the first member to select one or more of the activity interests presented, wherein, upon the first member selecting one or more of the activity interests, indicates to the first member an identifier and a photo from the profiles for second members who are both active in the same region, and who have selected an activity interest common to one of the activity interests selected by the first member, and wherein the first member is then enabled by a specific touchscreen action to communicate to the system at the server an interest in one of the second members active in the same region and having indicated a common activity interest, and wherein the system then indicates to the second member the interest of the first member, and enables the second member to respond interested or not interested, and if the response of the second member is interested, declares a match, and, upon a match being declared the first member is enabled by links in an interactive interface on the touchscreen of the smart phone, to access the biography in the second members profile, to initiate a telephone call initiated through the system without revealing the first member's telephone number, to send the greeting video from the first member's profile, to send a text message, and to activate communication by Facetime™ or Skype™, and wherein the first and second members matched are made aware of member businesses within the region, and wherein information about member businesses active in the region a provided to both the first and the second member either by link or by pop-up window, enabling the matched members to meet at one or another of the active member businesses in the region.
