Abstract
According to an embodiment a method for proximity-based networking is described. A position of a user's client device, e.g., a cell phone, is estimated. Then, other users in a same region as the user's client device are identified based on the estimated position. Locations of those identified other users having one or more interests in common with the user can be displayed on a map on the user's client device.
Claims19
A proximity-based networking system comprising:
- a memory system for storing positioning data indicating estimated positions of a plurality of client devices within a building, wherein the positions are calculated as a function of:
- Estimated Position=A(GPS based location estimate))+B(Bluetooth beacon-based location estimate)+C(geomagnetic-based location estimate)+D(vision-based location estimates)
- where A, B, C and D are weighting values;
- wherein said memory system also stores one or more interests associated with each of the plurality of client devices;
- and
- one or more processors configured to identify two of the plurality of client devices as being a match when the two client devices are within a predetermined distance of one another based upon their stored positions and when the two client devices have at least one same or similar interest associated therewith.
A proximity-based networking system comprising:
- a matching server configured to receive information associated with estimated positions of a plurality of client user devices and further configured to receive information associated with users' interests in attending a networking event;
- and
- wherein a client user's device is configured to receive and to display information from the matching server associated with other users attending the networking event who have similar interests.
A method for proximity-based networking comprising:
- estimating a position of a user's client device;
- identifying other users in a same region as the user's client device based on the estimated position;
- and
- displaying, on a map on the user's client device, locations of those identified other users having one or more interests in common with the user.
A proximity-based networking system comprising:
- a plurality of wearables each associated with different users at a networking event;
- and
- a matching server configured to receive information from a first user associated with one of the other users' associated wearable and further configured to receive information associated with users' interests in attending the networking event;
- and
- wherein the matching server is configured to receive and to display information from associated with the one of the other users.
