Abstract
Devices, systems and methods for facilitating interactions between individuals are disclosed. The exemplary method may include providing member facility information and allowing other members to review the facility information. Members may request a meeting with another member with details of the requested meeting via the system. The request is transmitted to another member and the other member may accept, deny, or modify the request by the other member. Members may have an other members inclusive list or other members exclusive list to assist in facilitating interactions. Ratings may be used to rate other members and interaction facilities to aid in facilitating future interactions.
Claims6
A computer implemented method of facilitating interactions between individuals, comprising the acts of:
- a) identifying a list of potential recipients for information provided by a first member of a first facility, wherein identifying the list of potential recipients includes matching one or more recipients based upon a first member's filter system, wherein the first member's filter system includes at least one base preference table, at least one inclusion table, and at least one exclusion table, wherein the at least one inclusion table and the at least one exclusion table take precedence over the base preference table when a conflict exists between the at least one base preference table and the one or more inclusion and exclusion tables;
- b) matching the first member's information to one or more other members of one or more other facilities based upon the one or more other member's filter systems, wherein the other member's filter systems includes at least one base preference table, at least one inclusion table, and at least one exclusion table, wherein the at least one inclusion table and the at least one exclusion table take precedence over the base preference table when a conflict exists between the at least one base preference table and the one or more inclusion and exclusion tables;
- c) providing the first member's information to other members when the first member's and the other member's filtering systems match, wherein the identity of the other members are kept anonymous from the first member.
