Realtime, interactive and geographically defined computerized personal identification and matching methods

A method implemented by a geographic-location-based matching system including at least one server with at least one network interface, of matching a first user having a first wireless device with a second user having a second wireless device, comprising:

• a. the system receiving, via the at least one network interface from the second wireless device, information indicating that the second user is available to be matched;
• b. the system receiving, via the at least one network interface from the second wireless device, a physical geographic location of the second wireless device obtained using a geographic location sensor of the second wireless device;
• c. the system receiving, via the at least one network interface from the first wireless device, a physical geographic location of the first wireless device obtained using a geographic location sensor of the first wireless device;
• d. the system receiving, via the at least one network interface from the first wireless device, a request to be matched;
• e. the system determining, using a processor of the system to access user data, that the first user and the second user are a match based in part on the physical geographic location of the second wireless device and the physical geographic location of the first wireless device;
• f. the system transmitting, to the second wireless device, from the at least one server a user-feedback rating associated with the first user and information relating to the physical geographic location of the first wireless device;
• g. the system receiving, via the at least one network interface from the second wireless device, an indication that an option to accept the match with the first user has been selected at the second wireless device;
• h. the system indicating to the first wireless device via wireless transmission a name of the second user, a user-feedback rating of the second user, and an identifying image of the second user and further indicating to the first wireless device via wireless transmission that a visual identifier is associated with the match;
• i. the system indicating, to the second wireless device via wireless transmission, that the visual identifier is associated with the match, wherein:
• 1) the second wireless device includes a transceiver designed to exchange data between devices of short distances using radio waves in the industrial scientific and medical radio bands;
• 2) the second wireless device is wirelessly coupled via the transceiver to a light-emitting display physically separate from the first wireless device and the second wireless device;
• and,
• 3) the second wireless device is configured to wirelessly communicate with the light-emitting display in a manner that instructs the light-emitting display to illuminate with the visual identifier, wherein the visual identifier on the light-emitting display is configured to be viewable by the first user to direct the first user to the second user as the match at an in-person meeting.
