Abstract
A collaboration database and server correlates project originators with collaborative responders based on a predetermined criteria of skills and background coupled with a corresponding profile of the responder that indicates possible agreement with the predetermined criteria. Communicative messaging is limited during consideration of the criteria, and full communication is permitted only after both the originator and responder have indicated sufficient skills, performance history and motivation for moving forward.
Claims20
A method of establishing an anonymous collaborative association via an electronic network based on symbiotic talent or skill needs, comprising:
- receiving, from an originator, a collaboration request, the collaboration request including qualification criteria indicative of attributes consistent with satisfying the collaboration request;
- allowing, based on a correspondence with a skill sought in the collaboration request and a skill denoted in a user profile, a responder to view the collaboration request;
- permitting a response based on a correspondence of a responder with the qualification criteria, the response indicating an interest and a fit with the qualification criteria, the response indicative of a user profile corresponding to the responder and indicative of the correspondence;
- receiving, based on a perceived agreement of skills identified in the user profile with the collaboration request, an acknowledgment message from the originator to the responder;
- establishing a communications accessibility between the originator and the responder;
- and
- restricting additional communication between the originator and the responder if a message to withdraw interest is received from either the originator or the responder.
A network server device for establishing an anonymous collaborative association via an electronic network based on symbiotic talent or skill needs, comprising:
- a network interface for receiving, from an originator, a collaboration request, the collaboration request including qualification criteria indicative of attributes consistent with satisfying the collaboration request;
- a user interface for allowing, based on a correspondence with a skill sought in the collaboration request and a skill denoted in a user profile, a responder to view the collaboration request;
- server logic for permitting a response based on a correspondence of the responder with the qualification criteria, the response indicating an interest and a fit with the qualification criteria, the response indicative of a user profile corresponding to the responder and indicative of the correspondence;
- and
- a user interface to receive, based on a perceived agreement of skills identified in the user profile with the collaboration request, an acknowledgment message from the originator to the responder;
- the server logic configured to establish a communications accessibility between the originator and the responder, and further operable to restrict additional communication between the originator and the responder if a message to withdraw interest is received from either the originator or the responder.
The device of claim 17 wherein the indication that collaboration is no longer desired includes a reason defining at least one of mutual dismissal, unproductive advertising material, or inappropriate or inapplicable content, further comprising storing a series of successive reasons corresponding to the originator or responder.
A computer program product on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method of establishing an anonymous collaborative association via an electronic network based on symbiotic talent or skill needs the method of comprising:
- receiving, from an originator, a collaboration request, the collaboration request including qualification criteria indicative of attributes consistent with satisfying the collaboration request;
- allowing, based on a correspondence with a skill sought in the collaboration request and a skill denoted in a user profile, a responder to view the collaboration request;
- permitting a response based on a correspondence of a responder with the qualification criteria, the response indicating an interest and a fit with the qualification criteria, the response indicative of a user profile corresponding to the responder and indicative of the correspondence;
- receiving, based on a perceived agreement of skills identified in the user profile with the collaboration request, an acknowledgment message from the originator to the responder;
- establishing a communications accessibility between the originator and the responder;
- and
- restricting additional communication between the originator and the responder if a message to withdraw interest is received from either the originator or the responder.
