Simultaneous messaging system and method

A device for communicating an engagement to a plurality of active mobile devices, wherein each active mobile device is associated with an active user, the system comprising:

• a communication interface;
• a non-transitory memory;
• at least one computer processor, wherein the at least one computer processor is configured to execute instructions stored on the non-transitory memory to:
• establish, at the communication interface, at least one data communication socket for each active mobile device in the plurality of active mobile devices;
• receive, at the communication interface, a plurality of location data streams, wherein each location data stream comprises location data corresponding to a physical location of each active mobile device in the plurality of active mobile devices, and wherein the location data is communicated via a first data communication socket in the at least one data communication socket;
• receive, at the communication interface, data corresponding to the engagement, the data containing at least an engagement location;
• in response to determining the engagement location
• i. identify at least one nearby active mobile device, wherein the identification comprises evaluating the physical location of each active mobile device in the plurality of active mobile devices relative to the engagement location;
• ii. transmit, through the communication interface, a first notification regarding the engagement to each of the at least one nearby active mobile device;
• and
• iii. receive, at the communication interface, a plurality of first responses responding to the first notification from each of the at least one nearby active mobile device, wherein the first response is communicated via a second data communication socket in the at least one data communication socket;
• in response to determining that the engagement has been confirmed
• i. transmit, through the communication interface, a second notification to each of the at least one nearby active device regarding the confirmed engagement;
• and
• ii. receive a plurality of second responses responding to the second notification from each of the at least one nearby active mobile device, wherein the second response is communicated via the second communication socket in the at least one data communication socket;
• select a selected active user to participate in the confirmed engagement, wherein the selected active user is associated with a selected nearby active mobile device in the at least one nearby active mobile device;
• and
• transmit, through the communication interface, a third notification to the selected nearby active mobile device and the at least one nearby active mobile device that is not the selected nearby active mobile device regarding the selection result.

A system for establishing an engagement between a client and an active agent, the system comprising:

• a communication network;
• a plurality of client devices, each client device configured to communicate client information to a messaging system over the communication network;
• a plurality of active mobile devices, each active mobile device configured to communicate with the messaging system over the communication network;
• and
• a messaging system for communicating an engagement to the plurality of active mobile devices over the communication network, wherein each active mobile device is associated with an active user, the messaging system comprising:
• a communication interface;
• a non-transitory memory;
• at least one computer processor, wherein the at least one computer processor is configured to execute instructions stored on the non-transitory memory to:
• establish, at the communication interface, at least one data communication socket for each active mobile device in the plurality of active mobile devices;
• receive, at the communication interface, a plurality of location data streams, wherein each location data stream comprises location data corresponding to a physical location of each active mobile device in the plurality of active mobile devices, and wherein the location data is communicated via a first data communication socket in the at least one data communication socket;
• receive, at the communication interface, data corresponding to the engagement, the data containing at least an engagement location;
• in response to determining the engagement location
• i. identify at least one nearby active mobile device, wherein the identification comprises evaluating the physical location of each active mobile device in the plurality of active mobile devices relative to the engagement location;
• ii. transmit, through the communication interface, a first notification regarding the engagement to each of the at least one nearby active mobile device;
• and
• iii. receive, at the communication interface, a plurality of first responses responding to the first notification from each of the at least one nearby active mobile device, wherein the first response is communicated via a second data communication socket in the at least one data communication socket;
• in response to determining that the engagement has been confirmed
• i. transmit, through the communication interface, a second notification to each of the at least one nearby active device regarding the confirmed engagement;
• and
• ii. receive a plurality of second responses responding to the second notification from each of the at least one nearby active mobile device, wherein the second response is communicated via the second communication socket in the at least one data communication socket;
• select a selected active user to participate in the confirmed engagement, wherein the selected active user is associated with a selected nearby active mobile device in the at least one nearby active mobile device;
• and
• transmit, through the communication interface, a third notification to the selected nearby active mobile device and the at least one nearby active mobile device that is not the selected nearby active mobile device regarding the selection result.
