System and method of geofenced event based individualized networking and user pairing

Abstract

The current invention pertains to a system and method of geographically bounded matchmaking between singles within a set pool of potential matches. Many dating applications focus primarily on geographically bounding matches, however they do so in a general sense by tagging a user's location, then applying a user established radius and presenting potential matches based off of their location in that radius and the initial user's location within the presented matches parameters. The present system differs greatly in that the geographical location is based on an event, and the pool of potential matches is determined by establishing other individuals attending the same event. When two people are in the same place, matching allows for quick interaction and meeting. Furthermore, integration with pre-planned events allows for a greater degree of integration into the management of the event itself, as well as a shorter lead time and instant gratification in meeting a match immediately. The present invention demonstrates further utility in that it presents a safer alternative to meeting with strangers alone, preventing a number of potentially dangerous behaviors, and allowing for the platform to exercise a greater degree of control in order to assure user safety.
