US 2025/0095083 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROXIMITY-BASED PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING

Abstract

A system and method for proximity-based professional networking is provided. The system includes a processor, memory, display device, location module, and communication module. Users create profiles and the system displays a dynamic feed of user profiles located within a predefined geographic radius, which is periodically updated based on user movement. Users can search profiles using predefined criteria, adjust the radius, and save profiles for later reference. The system includes advanced features such as a notification module that alerts users when specific events occur, including the entry of profiles with designated interest-tags. A nudge feature allows users to recommend connections based on shared interest-tags. The system further provides a shadow mode for discreet profile viewing and a status broadcast feature with auto-deletion capabilities. These features facilitate real-time, proximity-based professional networking, enhancing user interaction and connection opportunities.

Dependent claims

A system for proximity-based professional networking, comprising:

a processor;
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor;
a display device configured to display a user interface to a user;
a location module configured to detect the geographic location of the user;
a communication module configured to enable communication between the user and other users;
wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
enable the user to create a user profile wherein the user profile includes one or more of the user's name, the user's contact information, the user's biographical details, the user's workplace, the user's industry, and one or more user interest tags;
display a dynamic feed of user profiles located within a predefined geographic radius, wherein the dynamic feed is periodically updated based on users entering or leaving the predefined geographic radius;
provide a search bar enabling the user to search for other user profiles based on one or more predefined search criteria;
and
allow the user to save other user profiles within the predefined geographic radius for later reference when those users are no longer within the predefined geographic radius.
