Methods and systems for electronically facilitating question answering

A server system, comprising:

• a memory configured to store instructions;
• a communication interface;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory and the communication interface, the processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory and thereby cause the server system to perform at least in part to:
• receive a question from a seeker device associated with a seeker for receiving an answer to the question;
• determine one or more responders for answering the question, by performing;
• identifying available responders from a plurality of responders who are accessible by the server system based on an availability status of each of the plurality of responders;
• and
• determining matching responders from among the plurality of responders based on at least a threshold degree of similarity in a corresponding responder profile with the question;
• facilitate a display of one or more responder profiles associated with the one or more responders to the seeker device in a predetermined order based at least on one or more parameters associated with the one or more responder profiles;
• perform:
• upon receiving a first selection of a single responder profile from the one or more responder profiles, establishing a first communication channel between the seeker device and a responder device associated with the selected responder profile for providing the answer;
• and
• upon receiving a second selection of multiple responder profiles of the one or more responder profiles, transmitting the question to responder devices associated with the selected multiple responder profiles, wherein upon receipt of an interest-to-answer input from at least one responder profile a second communication channel is established between the seeker device and at least one responder device associated with the at least one responder;
• determine a predefined amount to be paid by the seeker for unlocking an access to the answer provided to the seeker through one of the first communication channel and the second communication channel, based at least on the one or more parameters and transaction criteria;
• upon determining the predefined amount, trigger the seeker to perform a transaction of the predefined amount to the server system;
• and
• upon receiving the predefined amount, transmit a first percentage of the predefined amount to the single responder profile or one of the multiple responder profiles based at least on the establishment of the first communication channel or the second communication channel and the transaction criteria.
