US 2016/0239928 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INDICATING PROFILE ACCURACY

Abstract

A system and method for providing an accuracy rating of profile information based on reviews given by the reviewers of profile information. Initially, an extension is installed and activated on the computing system of a profile visitor to detect a unique identifier associated with a profile. In the system, an independent rating server computes an accuracy rating based on user-provided information, and then provides the accuracy rating to a profile visitor. Accordingly, an accuracy rating on a rating server is stored in association with the unique identifier for each profile. The rating server communicates directly with the computing system of the visitor to receive the unique identifier of the profile owner, and transmits back an accuracy rating associated with the unique identifier. By integrating the accuracy rating with profile information of the profile owner, the accuracy rating is displayable for a profile visitor

Dependent claims

A system for providing an accuracy rating with respect to profile information associated with a profile owner user page and stored on the information server, comprising:

at least one information server that store a first profile information associated with a profile owner, the first profile information including demographic information;
a rating server that maintains an accuracy rating for profiles stored on an information server, where
the accuracy rating stored for the profile owner is a function of at least a selection portion of the profile information stored on the information server, and
the rating server computes the accuracy rating as a function of ratings given by at least one reviewer of the first profile information;
and
a visitor computing system associated with a visitor, the visitor viewing the profile associated with the profile owner;
the visitor computing system having an extension that detects that an accuracy rating is associated with the profile owner, and communicates with the rating server to request and receive the accuracy rating associated with the profile owner;
and
the extension integrates the accuracy rating of the profile owner with the profile owner's profile, while displaying the profile information on the user interface of the visitor computing system.
