Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed that update a profile for a member based on icons associated with a profile of another member and/or personalize a service for the member based on the profile for the member. In some embodiments, a first member may view the profile of a second member which includes one or more icons that represent characteristics about the second member. The first member may inform the computing system that an icon in the profile for the second member is also applicable to the first member. In response to such informing, the computing system may update a profile associated with the first member accordingly.
Claims20
A method of handling a first profile for a first member, the method comprising:
- causing a computing device associated with the first member to present a second profile for a second member that includes at least one icon that represents a characteristic about the second member;
- receiving one or more signals from the computing device that identify the characteristic represented by the at least one icon as also being applicable to the first member;
- and
- in response to said receiving, updating the first profile based upon the characteristic of the second member identified as also being applicable to the first member.
The method of 5, wherein:
- the characteristic represented by the at least one icon of the second profile is different than the characteristic selected from the group of related characteristics;
- and
- the icon presented with the updated first profile is different than the at least one icon of the second profile.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, comprising a plurality of instruction that, in response to being executed, result in one or more computing devices:
- causing a computing device associated with a first member having a first profile to present a second profile for a second member that includes at least one icon that represents a characteristic about the second member;
- and
- updating the first profile based upon the characteristic of the second member in response to receiving, from the computing device associated with the first member, one or more signals that identify the characteristic represented by the at least one icon as also being applicable to the first member.
A system for maintaining a plurality of profiles for a plurality of members, the system comprising:
- one or more storage devices configured to store the plurality of profiles, a plurality characteristics used to describe characteristics about the plurality of members, and a plurality of icons representative of the plurality characteristics;
- and
- one or more processors configured to send, to a computing device associated with a first member, a second profile for a second member that includes at least one icon that represents a characteristic about the second member, and update the first profile based upon the characteristic of the second member in response to receiving, from the computing device associated with the first member, one or more signals that identify the characteristic represented by the at least one icon as also being applicable to the first member.
