Abstract

The LOCATION-CONSCIOUS SOCIAL NETWORKING APPARATUSES, METHODS, AND SYSTEMS (“LCSN”) transforms user personality and location inputs via LCSN components into match and transaction outputs. LSCN may be a processor-implemented method for location-conscious social networking, involving collecting personality details pertaining to a user, analyzing the personality details and constructing a personality profile for the user. The LCSN may also collect geolocation information from the user and compare it to geolocation data from other users, may use user personality profiles to calculate a compatibility rating between the user and other users, and may send an alert to users if the geolocation data indicates that the user is within a specified distance of another user, and/or if the users are matches for each other. Users may further be able to express anonymous interest in other users by anonymously rating potential matches.

Dependent claims

A location-conscious social networking apparatus, comprising:

a memory;
a component collection in the memory;
a processor disposed in communication with the memory and configured to issue a plurality of processor-executable instructions from the component collection, the processor-executable instructions configured to:
collect personal details pertaining to a user;
collect geolocation information regarding the user;
compare the geolocation regarding the user with geolocation data associated with at least one other user;
calculate a compatibility rating for the user and the at least one other user based on the personal details for the user and at least one personal detail associated with the at least one other user;
send an alert to the user if the geolocation data regarding the user and the geolocation data associated with the at least one other user indicate that the user and the at least one other user are within a specified proximity to one another and share at least one personal detail preference;
receive an indication of interest from the user in regards to the at least one other user;
and
send a notification of interest to the user and the at least one other user if the at least one other user has also indicated interest in the user.

8 more elements

A location-conscious social networking processor-implemented system, comprising:

means to process processor-executable instructions;
means to issue processor-issuable instructions from a processor-executable component collection via the means to process processor-executable instructions, the processor-issuable instructions configured to:
collect personal details pertaining to a user;
collect geolocation information regarding the user;
compare the geolocation regarding the user with geolocation data associated with at least one other user;
calculate a compatibility rating for the user and the at least one other user based on the personal details for the user and at least one personal detail associated with the at least one other user;
send an alert to the user if the geolocation data regarding the user and the geolocation data associated with the at least one other user indicate that the user and the at least one other user are within a specified proximity to one another and share at least one personal detail preference;
receive an indication of interest from the user in regards to the at least one other user;
and
send a notification of interest to the user and the at least one other user if the at least one other user has also indicated interest in the user.
