DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Hereinafter presented drawing and figures of one preferred embodiment of the present invention to aid in the understanding the implementation of the present invention:
Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a system operative to perform the preferred embodiment of the present invention as described above. As shown, remote users (Remote posts "i'',"2" and "3") are connected to the system via phone line and using the communication unit "C" for registering, or updating their personal details or the requested match details in the system (herein referred as the "Personal Details" and the "Suitable Match Details"). The system's CPU loaded with the matchmaking software "D" is updating the database "E" with the incoming data from the remote users, and using the RAM memory "F" is finding suitable matches for each member. Once a suitable match is found, the CPU Generates a signal to the communication unit "C" that will simultaneously call the 2 suitable members and a connection between them will be generated (Remote Posts "A" and "B"). In fig.l, two communication units are presented for clarity, but there is no need for actual 2 units, and one communication unit such as any suitable computer communication card can be used. On the other hand, if required, additional communication units may be used.
Fig. 1A is a pictorial illustration of a system for automated matchmaking. As shown, 2 remote users are connected via computer network to the "matchmaking server", and the "matchmaking server" is connecting between them to enable a textual or vocal communication between them.
Fig. 2 is a simplified flowchart illustration of a preferred method for the automated matchmaking process of the system. The method of fig. 2 preferably includes the following steps conducted in a preferably non-stop manner:
Step 10: The system searches the database for the details of the next member to be handled. The next member can be randomly selected or automatically determined by the system according to pre-defined criteria such as time passed since the last match was found for this member. Once the system has determined about the next member to be handled (hereinafter referred to as Member "a"), member's "a" details and suitable match criterions are loaded to the RAM (read only memory).
Step 20: The system will search the database for a suitable match for the handled member "a". At this step the system searches for a match according to the "suitable match details" of the handled member "a", and the "personal details" of the stored members. The search takes into account not to make the same connection twice and therefore the database stores also all the ID numbers of previously matched members. Step 30: if a new suitable match is found (hereinafter referred as member "b"), the system proceeds to step 40. If a suitable match for member "a" was not found, the system returns to step 10.
Step 40: Check if the match is good for both members, i.e. the handled member "a" personal description fits the "suitable match details" of the newly detected member "b". If the match is good for both sides, the system proceeds to step 50, otherwise the system returns to step 20.
Step 50: Check if a connection between the 2 members can be established by dialing to the members simultaneously, or by any other means of communication according to the system capabilities. If a connection can be made the system proceeds to step 60, if not the system returns to step 10.
Step 60: Make a connection automatically between members "a" and "b". A connection can be of any kind, such as by phone, by Internet or by any other way. Once a connection was established, update the database records of both members so the system will know not to make the same connection again, and for further references. Once a connection was made, the system returns to step 10.
It is appreciated that any different model of matching between the members can be applied on other embodiments of the present invention.
It is appreciated that the system can also be capable of performing the same matching model not only for one member at a time, but also for several members "a" at the same time.
Fig 3 is a simplified flowchart illustration of a preferred method for the automated registration process of new members to the system. The method of fig. 3 preferably includes the following steps:
Step 100: Accept the incoming call and play or display a greeting message, according to the system nature. The greeting message preferably includes information about the system and other information the new member may find useful at this stage. Step 110: play or display instructions about the registration procedures. These instructions preferably include step-by-step instructions about the registration process.
Step 120: At this stage, the new member will be requested to enter his personal information as defined above, preferably including age, gender, general description and additional information about himself as it will be decided in each embodiment of the present invention. The information can be entered to the system using voice, i.e. by recording the information vocally over the phone or any other means of voice transfer, using the phone number pads, or using a keyboard and/or mouse in case the present invention will be set to be used over a computer network. It is appreciated that additional means of registration may be applied to suit different embodiments of the present invention. The system opens a record set in the database to include all the details entered so far, and those who will be entered in step 130 as defined hereinafter.
Step 130: At this stage, the user will be requested to enter his/her definition of a "suitable match criterions" as defined above, preferably including age range, preferred gender, preferred general description and additional information pertaining the suitable match as it will be decided in each embodiment of the present invention. As with the personal information, the "Suitable Match" information can also be entered to the system using voice, using the phone keys, or using a keyboard and/or mouse. It is appreciated that additional means of registration may be applied to suit different embodiments of the present invention. The system will update the new member's record set in the database with the new information.
Step 140: The final registration phase. The system will announce that the registration process is completed, by playing or displaying a closing greeting.
"Personal details" may preferably include the member's age, gender, height, eyes color, hair color, city of residents, hobbies, education level, areas of interest and any additional information as may be found suitable to include.
