?SOCIAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD?

Description

field of technique

The present invention pertains to the field of social network systems, and in detail it concerns a communication system and method of the social type which allows the electronic interconnection of multiple? people even if they are not part of a series of friends.

Known art

The social network Facebook ? ? a tool that allows you to see the activities? of people belonging to a series of ?friends?.

Facebook ? shows some limits when a registered user wants to extend the requests for friendships towards people not belonging to his circle of ?friends?, or of whom he has no knowledge.

If a user has introduced in the series of ?friends? everyone he knows, the further addition of new people in the circle of ?friends? becomes difficult or in any case not automatic, just why? he has no direct knowledge of other people to whom he could ask for friendship.

The purpose of the present invention ? therefore that of describing a social communication system which contributes to solving the drawbacks described above.

A further object of the present invention ? furthermore that of describing a method of communication of a social type which contributes to solving the drawbacks described above.

Under another aspect of the invention , the problem relating to the transmission of geolocation data of a plurality of of units client, in which ? expected that the surveys are collected automatically by a central server and then retransmitted as geolocation data to a further plurality? of units client, at the time of receipt by the unit? central server of a request data for displaying a proximity map? of users.

In fact, the problems relating to transport networks in relation to the delays that arise on the basis of the selection of the route are well known. Among the problems Relevant for the solution of which representations based on graphs are used are the path search problems with prefixed characteristics.

For example, given a transport network with four nodes and five arcs, weighted on the arcs with corresponding weights, hence on each arc a trip requires one? unit? of time (for example 10 minutes) and in each unit? of time can be carried out more of a journey on each bow; a weight corresponding to the time necessary for the path to be followed is then established: the verification that is usually required ? to establish if ? Is it possible to transfer any goods from node 1 of the network to node 4, within a certain number of units? of time.

A network is said to be minimal if the path connecting all the nodes has the minimum possible length. Once a set of points has been fixed in the plane, a network that connects them? any connected graph containing those points between its nodes. The purpose of the invention? also that of establishing techniques to be able to minimize these paths and therefore find the so-called shortest path on the basis of a series of predetermined characteristics.

Detailed description of the invention.

With reference to the annexed figures, with the reference number 100 ? indicated as a whole a social type communication system.

System 100 comprises a central server 300 on which a plurality of of user profiles.

Central server 300 communicates with a plurality of of units client 150m, 160m, 170m by known data transceiver means 310 (for example modems or radio communication systems).

To each profile ? electronically associated a plurality? of additional 150, 160 user profiles in a direct association. Some users, on the other hand, are in indirect association in the sense that they do not have a connection on their own circle of friends.

In the central server 300 there are also user profiles which are in indirect association, i.e. user profiles which do not belong to a user's circle of friends.

According to the present invention for ?circle of friends? you mean an electronic association of profiles of pi? users, so that a direct association between said profiles is stored.

The system 100 object of the present invention also comprises a plurality of software interfaces likely to be installed or operate on unit? client 150m, 170m to which the said users can physically access, and in which the said software interfaces are configured to cause a transceiver of data between the said central server and the unit? client on which they are installed.

Preferably although not limited, the units? clients are for example mobile phones, smartphones or personal computers.

Each user 150, 170 has his own profile which he accesses via a combination of username and password, in order to guarantee access security. Alternatively, the user can? access using external platform APIs such as login via Facebook?.

The social communication system object of the present invention? characterized in that it comprises means for automatically generating a transmission of electronic observation data of a profile of a first user stored in said central server towards the entire plurality of of user profiles which are in direct association with the profile of a second user, wherein said automatic generation means are activated when said second user 150, through its unit? client 150m and the software interface associated with it, stores on its own profile a visit data of the profile said first user stored in said central server, and are configured to be activated only when the profile of said first user 170 ? in indirect association with the profile of said second user 150.

Assume a case like the one illustrated in figure 1, in which the profile of Laura ? according to the present invention the profile of said first user 170, while the profile of Mark according to the present invention ? the profile of said second user 150.

Mark has a circle of ?friends? whose profiles are in direct association with yours. Such a direct association ? represented by the circle 210.

When? one of Mark's friends looks at Laura's profile on the unit? Mark's client, a photograph of Laura's profile appears, which? in indirect association with Mark's profile.

If Mark ? interested in Laura, click? on Laura's photography, and this will involve? a data transmission of the profile of the first user 170 (Laura) from the central server towards the unit? second user 150 (Mark) client 150m.

This click on Laura's photograph also causes a transmission of electronic data from Laura's profile to all of Mark's friends, and what? towards all the friends of the second user whose profiles are in direct association with the second user 150. Advantageously, the second user does not have to implement any active behavior aimed at transmitting the data of the first user to the second user 150.

Advantageously, the user profiles in direct association with the profile of said second user do not receive any transmission relating to the profile of said second user. This means that Mark's friends have no awareness of the fact that it is Mark who has visited Laura's profile.

This allows to maintain a high level of privacy, allowing at the same time to transmit new profiles to the profile of the users registered on the system 100 of the present invention. registered and not in direct association.

The viewing data of one user's profile which is then transmitted to the user's profiles in direct association with the second user's profile is called a ?glance?.

When? said user profile viewing data is transmitted to user profiles in direct association with the second user (Mark), the central server ? configured to automatically cause a sum of one credit point to the profile of said first user (Laura).

This credit point is used for ranking management in the various circles of friends, and is also used on the worldwide glance map that will be? better presented in the following portion of the description.

A ?worldwide glance map? ? created in such a way as to allow the user to view georeferenced position data of further users within a predefined radius with respect to a locality? defined by the user or automatically found by his portable electronic device through which he accesses the system object of the present invention.

This advantageously allows you to check if and how many users there are in a given place with respect to your position, for example, and provides a further socialization function with respect to what is already available. defined by the system object of the present invention.

If Mark clicked on Laura and then generated a ?glance? of Laura to her friends and caused the automatic assignment of said credit point on Laura's profile, all of Mark's friends, and more? in general of the said second user, will see Laura's profile and will in turn be able to click on the profile generating a credit point for Laura and ?glance? in turn towards their friends in direct association and so? Street.

Suppose that Francesca, ie a third user whose profile? in direct association with the profile of said second user (Mark) click on Laura's photograph herself.

In this case, the system is configured to generate a new sum of a credit point on Laura's profile, which is therefore added to the previous one, but the viewing data from Laura's profile is no longer processed. automatically transmitted on the unit? client of friends in common between Mark and Francesca, as? already previously appeared thanks to Mark?s interest in Laura.

In other words, this translates into the fact that when? a third user visits said first user's profile, wherein the third user owns a profile in direct association with said second user's profile, said viewing data is no longer? automatically transmitted to user profiles in direct association with those of said second user.

However, the system configured to reset at the end of a predefined period of time (for example and not limited to a week).

So Laura's profile can reappear in the dashboard of users where ? already appeared and in turn they can click on Laura's photograph assigning a ?glance? only if previously during the predetermined period of time they have not opened Laura's profile, otherwise they can s? click on his profile and generate the ?glance? but they will not generate any credit point why? This ? already previously assigned.

Therefore the ?glance? in the system object of the present invention they are never displayed in the case of displaying user profiles in direct association with the profile of the viewer user, thus differing from the system proposed by Facebook?.

The ?glance? and the credit point are generated preferably not when the profile of said first user is visited, but when said first user is introduced in direct association on the profile of said second user, which is equivalent to introducing the first user ( Laura) in a friend request.

As previously mentioned, the statistics of the system object of the present invention include the analysis of the number of transmissions of said viewing data of the week (or of the predefined time interval) on friends and more users. seen by friends.

Do these statistics include a ranking of user profiles in direct association with their own profile ? and that? some friends ? which are the most? seen, and consider the points that each individual friend has received from other users in indirect association with the profile of the user in question during the last predetermined period of time, without taking into account the total points of each individual user.

Advantageously this allows us to find out which of our friends is the most? ?watched? outside of our friendships, and cio? outside the circle of profiles in direct association with ours.

Another ranking? represented by the profiles of the users pi? seen by our friends, who are users cio? outside our circle of friends and therefore in indirect association with our profile, who have received the most attention from our friends.

Advantageously this allows us to have an indication directly from our friends in direct association, who do they think exactly? more Interesting. As illustrated in figure 2, suppose that direct associations have been stored on the central server, the first of which contains profiles of users A, B, C, and X, of which the second contains the profiles of users D, E, F, and X and a third containing the profiles of users G, H, and I.

On a first day of the week, if user X looks at user H's profile, the first, second and third groups will see user H's profile posted on their unit? clients.

On Wednesday?, if user X looks at the profile of user H, the first and second groups will no longer see? h.

On Thursday?, having? User C who looks at the profile of? User H, the first group will not see? the profile of the user H.

In the new week, on Monday? if the user X observes the profile of the user H, the first and second group will see the profile of the user H again, just in virtue? of the reset action operated by the predetermined time interval.

On Thursday, if user X looks at the profile of user H, the first and second groups will no longer see the profile again. notified profile of? user H on your unit? clients.

In a still subsequent week, if user X looks at user H's profile, the first and second groups will again be able to see user H's profile notified.

On Tuesday? next, if user X looks at user H's profile, the first and second group will see user H's profile again.

on wednesday? a new user Y joins the first group.

On Thursday, if user X views the profile of user H, the first and second groups will not see the profile of user H with the following exceptions: all users of the first group with the exception of Y will not see notified on their unit? client the profile of the user H. Y on the contrary will have? such a possibility? as a new user logged in.

On Friday?, if the user X observes the profile of the user H, again no member of the first and second group will see? notified the profile of said user H.

As illustrated in greater detail in Figures 6-9, the social communication system object of the present invention ? moreover able to be used also for business applications, through the possibility? purchase of unique 390 alphanumeric codes, specifically generated for the application, which can be used to generate ?glance? when they are shared on system user profiles.

To said codes the user registered to the system object of the present invention will be able? also associate a visibility service through electronic purchase, choosing for how many weeks he wants the code to be active.

The unique 390 image representation code can? be a QR-type code or an alphanumeric code on two lines of four characters each, which if associated with external web links will generate through their ?glance? coding.

When? said univocal code 390 is decoded by other users (not in direct association with the profile of the user to whom the alphanumeric code belongs) through the appropriate mask 400 of the smartphone illustrated for example in figure 9, will the message be sent? the ?glance? and the credit point with the same properties? already previously discussed. For this reason, the unique code 390 represents an important business tool: can it be used? for example, replacing a photograph as a representative image of a brand or company; the assignment of credit points therefore represents an indicator of the visibility? activity of the company, which in this way has a feedback of the interest aroused in people or users of the system not already? directly ?associated? to her. In detail, therefore, the mask is first created and transmitted on the portable electronic device of a user who ? equipped with the software application associated with the system object of the present invention; subsequently, the? user ? through the said mask ? provides to acquire the unique code 390 associated with a specific user who in this case ? representative of a specific company? for example and not limited to the beverage or clothing trade sector. With the previously described method, if the user who scans the univocal code 390 is not in direct association with the user associated with the univocal code itself, the credit point is generated.

The software application installed on the units? client ? moreover able to connect with means of acquisition of a geographic position of the unit? client itself, for example satellite positioning means of the GPS type or means of identifying an IP number of the system.

Does the software application transmit the positioning data of the various units? client to the central server 300.

The other units? clients 150m, 160m, 170m, through said software application can verify the presence of other users of the system 100 in the immediate vicinity.

Technically this happens through a real-time polling on the unit data? client in proximity? compared to? unit? client on which the said map is made to appear. The polling is requested from the central server, which instantly updates its database if necessary.

This advantageously allows the various users of the system object of the present invention to always know where the other users of the system are.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the problem relating to the transmission of geolocation data of a plurality is solved. of units clients 150, 160, 170, where ? provided that the surveys are automatically collected by the central server 300 and then retransmitted as geolocation data towards a further plurality of units client at the time of receipt by the unit? central server 300 of a request data for displaying a proximity map? of users. In practice the? unit? central unit 300 periodically sends a sheet 70 in A4 format (because it is the most widespread printing format), with four or more? boxes to the client user 150, 160, 170 who downloads it and prints it in color to obtain the series of indicators 71<n >on which are reported a series of relevant information such as: an identifier, the glance numbers or the points credit, date of detection, etc.

? provided that each user receives at least one printable image in A4 format. The A4 sheet, 70, is then cut, as in Fig. 10, into four equal rectangles so as to have four ranking levels with different colors for the various indications in the ranking. In fact, the first box includes the first in the standings, the second the second in the standings, the third the third in the standings... all the boxes have the same composition with distinctive signs 71<n > each of a different shape, with all the signs base of the tangram modified according to the present invention.

Subsequently on a geographic map 60, the user arranges the various indicators of different shapes. The affixing occurs because? sheet 70? itself a double-sided sheet. Once the markers have been placed on the map, the user takes a picture of them with his smartphone. A dedicated app? predisposed to the detection and processing of colored highlights from which the optimal path to be followed is deduced.

In fact, the shapes of the composition are the same for each box while the colors are different. So the user will see? once the level of the credit points has been highlighted by the colour, the scanner instead detects the dedicated shape in the indicator 71<n >. In essence, is a widespread transmission of the credit points acquired created? it is clear that, as previously shown, the central server 300 performs the task of automatically transmitting said credit points to the profile of the user who requests it. By means of the tangrams 70, a comparable ranking of the different types being surveyed is prepared at the same time.

By means of the user interface consisting of a portable electronic device 150m, 160m, 170m, the request for transmission of geolocation data of a plurality of of units clients. The transmission request step ? automatically generated by the unit? central server 300, with the retransmission of said geolocation data, on the map 60, towards a further plurality of units client at the time of receipt by the unit? central server of a request data for displaying a proximity map? of users.

The credit points are used to manage the classification of the various commercial interlocutors and are also used to detect the ?worldwide glance map?. The worldwide glance map ? created at the level of a composition or tangram in such a way as to allow the user to view georeferenced position data of further users within a predefined radius with respect to a locality? established by the user, or automatically found by his portable electronic device, through which he accesses the system object of the present invention. In each of the boxes 70a, 70b, 70c, 70d of Fig. 10 eleven indicators are inserted (but the subdivision could be even more fragmented in order to have a greater number of references. The criterion remains according to which on the map 60 the ?glance in the system object of the present invention they are never displayed in the case of displaying user profiles in direct association with the profile of the viewing user.

In order to build this worldwide glance map, does the user then proceed to cut out the various components of sheet 70 , or ? already A dedicated normalized cutter is supplied which works on a single square, and supplies a series of standard shape indicators for each type of activity. Column binders of the same height but with different cross-sections are provided. The need to operate with a tangram 70 ? that of having specific indicators that can be analyzed by a camera that are extremely distinctive, in an original compact form 70, but which can be cut with precision, to be introduced into the cylinders of variable section according to the invention.

? important that the man factor is taken into due account, so that every time you go to configure a certain graph ? the same user who enters the indicator he prefers at that moment, despite the existence of an ?objective? ranking? based on credit points, compiled by the unit? central 300.

How already? having said that, in the particular realization, the possibility is considered, for the end user, to compose a geographical map in A4 format (or A3 made up of several A4 sheets). ? foreseen in this regard, the printing of the sheet 70, sent by the service provider 300, as this sheet includes a series of interlocking shapes more? or less large as in Fig. 10. In practice it is a question of inserting n (for example 4) tangrams 70a, 70,b, 70c, 70d on the A4 format as in Fig. 10 with components of smaller size and with different colors which then they are superimposed on the geographical map, with pins or glued, on the sheet 60 itself, the sheet 70 being a double-sided adhesive tape. ? is it possible that more sheets are joined to form a large map/geographical map 60. On this map, as shown in figure 12, are indicated the localizations corresponding to the units? client with the maximum credit points (indicating the relative greater popularity) of the site/user.

In practice for? the user has the possibility? to materially create a geographical map 60with functional indications 71 that he affixes himself. Following the photographic recovery of the aforementioned map 60 with the relative indications 71, yes? able to display on the screen of the unit? client 150m, 160m, 170m, a map, in image format, on which the geographic sites previously selected by the end user and the optimal routes for establishing a shortest path in a transport network are located.

The user has himself care and interest to select among the various locations those that most? are they interested in the of the ranking put in place by the central server 300. In this way he composes a geographical map 60 of his interest with the sites to be accessed highlighted for maximum convenience. In essence, he could, for example, discard an interlocutor with maximum credit points and consider a subordinated one in the ranking for reasons of the moment (previous commercial breakup, momentary inaccessibility, being part of a competing association, missed payments.. .). So the? user ? able to create a map or a physical geographical map 60 at will starting from the recommended rankings through the credit points that attest to the popularity? of individual sites, and pu? change so?, as he believes, at the moment the same physical geographic map 60 on paper.

Advantageously, this allows you to have in mind which of your commercial interlocutors is the most? ?watched? outside of its current interlocutors, and cio? outside the circle of profiles in direct association with his own.

Another ranking? represented by the profiles of the users pi? seen by its commercial interlocutors, who are users cio? out of his circle of interlocutors and therefore in indirect association with his profile, which received more attention from his commercial interlocutors.

To better understand the? utility? of such an application ? should consider, for example, the end user as the owner of a restaurant with the peculiarity of km zero. A business with this requirement must purchase supplies from various suppliers in the vicinity every day. So it will have to directly refer to the producer of vegetables, that of vegetables, legumes, pasta, honey, wine, cheese, etc. To ensure the freshness of the products, as well as? the origin, he ? interested in having some kind of map or map 60 of the individual producers who are located in the vicinity, and who have generated significant acceptance at the credit point level.

Self ? the digression allowed, the criterion would be valid here that to eat well when you? traveling, it is worth stopping in places where you see so many truckers already? stop for lunch.

Having a map 60 with the sites 71<n >highlighted with the greatest interest then allows you to select optimized routes to go to each supplier. Also this map? composable by the end user. What? as shown in figure 12, he pu? starting from a situation of the type in which the honey supplier 71<3 > and the cheese supplier 71<4 >, who are first in the ranking of credit points are in different sectors of the sheet / map 60. It could happen that for for whatever reason the user, restaurateur, finds himself wanting to get supplies from the honey supplied by the supplier? in the nth position of the ranking of credit points? which would have its own different position on map 60. Cio? Isn't there a procedural mechanism for allocating, on the map, only the various sites each characterized by the maximum credit points? otherwise the minimum path would automatically come from the server 300 ?. Instead to? the unit? client ? allowed to vary at will the supplier who ? therefore in different positions from the one associated with the ?first in the standings?. ? a re-elaboration is therefore necessary in order to evaluate the optimal path on a case-by-case basis. ? expected in this case that the user requests the application to reproduce the configuration of the minimum path at least on the screen of the connection device.

Summarizing periodically or upon request, each user 150, 160, 170 receives a printable image in A4 format. The A4 sheet 70 is then divided, as in Fig. 10, into four equal rectangles so as to have four ranking levels with different colors for the various indications in the ranking. All the boxes have the same composition with distinctive signs each of a different shape, with all the basic signs of the tangram 70 modified according to the present invention.

Furthermore, on the end user side, the printing is performed in such a way that he can insert the indicators as he wishes, for example by replacing the trapezoid with relief 71<4 > which corresponds to the initial honey producer with another trapezoid, with relief, of a different color which would be in a different position to the first one, but would still be indicative of another honey producer. The placement of the second trapezius? different from the first, why? the two manufacturers operate at different sites.

Is therefore left ample opportunity? of choice to the client user 150, 160, 170 which in any case plays a fundamental role in the manipulation of the various signallers. Yes ? preferred to maintain, therefore, a modest level of automation to have the possibility? to intervene on the client side, in a flexible way.

beyond of the automatic detection techniques of the map pattern, mentioned above, the present invention provides a lower degree of automation and the possibility? that this type of evaluation is performed directly at the client. In particular, a fundamental principle of the invention ? that of referring to a limited degree of automation in the use of the SW application which would provide the optimized path to follow, described. Yes ? a procedure for inserting the signalers 71<n> based on a set of sequential processes having a relatively long duration, and which provide for frequent client/map 60 interaction, is preferred.

If there are several accesses to numerous sites on the map, ? an app was implemented, operating on any smartphone or tablet, equipped with a photo/camera to operate with an optimized routing algorithm. This app interoperates with other scanning applications already? known, of which the same smartphone usually uses as Cam Scanner.

Another application in another configuration of the map 60 ? able to detect in real time the position of the vehicle that is moving from one supplier to another and at the same time ? capable of receiving this position to display it on the map reproduced by the connection device. In particular ? the map is expected to consist of a semi-transparent upper paper layer. On it ? reported the geographical map of the places and, underlying this upper paper layer,? provided a matrix of micro LEDs which light up in relation to the path already? carried out by the vehicle.

? the same app that ? able to provide information to be able to define an optimized track that is illuminated and that, who drives, can? follow.

What? as shown in figure 12, the stratifications I) of the semi-transparent map, the plane of the II) matrix of LEDs and II) of the circuitry and logic responsible for switching on a particular sequence based on the indications received from the resident app are evident on the mobile. The results of the sum of credit points are in turn signaled on the map itself with blinking in turn controlled by the app itself. That is to say that a series of commercial establishments (or more generally entities) which fall within the particular credit points management program, find themselves signaled on the map device with LED lighting, thus how else? already known for various cartographic services provided on the web (which to provide a map for free to consult, then statically insert references to commercial activities that may be of interest). It is extremely advantageous here that the advertising message is delivered dynamically. In fact, for example if one day a particular petrol station is practicing promotional costs, these are signaled through an activity? real-time blinking based on credit points registered. In particular, the tangram that the user receives online (and prints on standardized A4 format paper), ? capable of being cut by a cutting jig 87 which functions as a cutting or drawing guide for use with a conventional cutter or a dedicated cutter. In practice, it is a transparent plastic layer which includes the different shapes 71?? 71<n > spaced and separated from each other as in Fig. 11. From a geometric point of view ? as if an explosion of the different components 71?, 71?? were implemented. 71<n >originally compacted. These masks 87 are transparent to facilitate alignment. Also the edge? shaped and rounded to allow aligned use of the edges.

Once the cut has been made, the single components of the tangram are stacked in small cylinders with an irregularly shaped base as follows: to have a ranking for each shape (to which a user included in the social network corresponds), from which it is possible to acquire the element to be included in map 60.

The advantageous solutions provided to the problems relating to transport networks in relation to the delays that arise based on the selection of the route are evident. The definition of a minimum network each time, based on the choices made by the user, can be acquired in real time by providing a path to connect all the nodes with the minimum possible length. In fact the found? able to establish techniques for minimizing paths and therefore finding the so-called shortest path on the basis of any set of predetermined characteristics.

? finally, it is clear that obvious additions, modifications and variations for a person skilled in the art can be applied to the devices object of the present invention without thereby departing from the scope of protection provided by the appended claims.
