BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

 The present invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description in conjunction with the drawings.

The present invention relates to a multilingual online Internet matchmaking service. Subscribers to systems operating according to embodiments of the present invention provide descriptive data to identify themselves, along with data describing objects of interest that they want to find. When used as a dating service, subscribers and objects can both be people who have an interest in meeting other people. If used as an employment service, the subscriber may be an employer and the object may be a person seeking employment, or alternatively, the subscriber may be a person seeking employment and the object may be a job seeker. obtain.

[0009] The multilingual capabilities of the present invention allow the same matchmaking application to be used internationally. The present invention obviates the need to use multiple localized versions of applications and multiple integrated databases to support multiple languages. Instead, the data input to the matchmaking application in multiple languages is a common language-independent
Integrates in the form of a database. As a result, the present invention allows people of different countries to use and match a common dating-system in their native language.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the subscriber data is stored in a subscriber database, and the object data is stored in an object database. The subscriber database may be the same database as the object database, or may be different from the object database. The data used to identify the subscriber is preferably a set of subscriber identification attributes such as the age, height, weight, eye color, hair color, educational background, nationality, occupation of the subscriber. The data used to describe the object that the subscriber is interested in finding is preferably a set of subscriber request attributes. Identification attributes and request attributes
, The same set of attributes can be used, or alternatively, a different set of attributes can be used.

[0011] Similarly, the data used to identify the object is preferably a set of object identification attributes, and the data used to describe the subscribers appropriate for the object is the object request attribute. Is preferably set.

When a subscriber enters his or her identification and required attributes into the subscriber database,
The present invention seeks to find candidate objects that match the subscriber's requirements,
Perform a search in the object database.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that several types of matching criteria can be used in the present invention. One-way matching can be used to find candidate objects in the object database that have identifying attributes that match the corresponding subscriber request attributes. Further, the one-way matching may be a “perfect match”, whereby all object identification attributes match the corresponding subscriber request attributes. Alternatively, the one-way matching comprises:
It may be a "partial match," whereby some of the object identification attributes match the corresponding subscriber request attributes.

For more accurate matching, the present invention provides a candidate object having an identification attribute that matches a corresponding subscriber request attribute, a candidate object having a request attribute that matches a corresponding subscriber identification attribute, and Is found in the object database using two-way matching. Further, each direction of the two-way matching may be either a perfect match or a partial match. For example, a database search can find candidate objects, for which the identification attributes of the candidate object exactly match the subscriber request attributes, and the request attributes of the candidate object are:
Partially matches the subscriber identification attribute.

[0015] The present invention provides that the certain object identification attribute is essential;
And other object identification attributes have the ability to indicate that they are preferred but non-essential. For example, in dating services, attributes such as age and weight are essential, while attributes such as nationality and occupation are non-essential. When searching for candidate objects to match with a subscriber, a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as described below with reference to FIG. Partial matching for various attributes.

In one embodiment of the invention, the classification of which object identification attributes are essential and which are non-essential is defined by the administrator of the object matching system. In another embodiment of the present invention,
Classification as to which object identification attributes are essential and which are non-essential is made by the subscriber. In the latter embodiment, the classification as to which object identification attributes are essential and which object identification attributes are non-essential is personal to each subscriber and different for various subscribers. It may be. In addition, subscribers who use the system repeatedly can change their personal classification of which object identification attributes are essential to them and which are non-essential.

Similarly, the subscriber identification attributes can also be classified into essential attributes and non-essential attributes. In the case of two-way matching, where the object request attribute is matched with the corresponding subscriber identification attribute, a perfect match is applied to the essential attributes, as described below with reference to FIG. Matching is applied to non-essential attributes.

Reference is now made to FIG. 1, which is a simplified diagram of a language independent database used in the preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a database 100 having subscriber data 105 and object data 110. As previously described herein, the subscriber database and object database of the present invention may be different databases or the same database. For purposes of brevity and clarity, one database 100 is shown in FIG. Database 100 stores both subscriber data 105 and object data 110. The subscriber data 105 has a subscriber identification attribute 115 and a subscriber request attribute 120. The subscriber identification attribute 115 is used to describe the subscriber himself. Examples of such attributes are the subscriber's age, height, weight, eye color, hair color, educational background, nationality, occupation. The subscriber request attribute 120 is used to describe the type of object that the subscriber is interested in matching.

Similarly, the object data 110 has an object identification attribute 125 and a subscriber request attribute 130. Object identification attribute 125 is used to describe the object being identified. The object request attribute 130 is used to describe the type of subscriber that is suitable for matching an object.

The identification attribute and the request attribute are classified into essential attributes and non-essential attributes.
As shown in FIG. 1, the subscriber identification attribute 115 includes an essential identification attribute 135,
The subscriber request attribute 120 is classified into a non-essential request attribute 145 and a non-essential request attribute 150. Similarly, the object identification attributes 125 are categorized into essential identification attributes 155 and non-essential identification attributes 160, and the object request attributes 130 include essential requirement attributes 165 and non-essential requirement attributes 165. Attribute 170. For example, age and weight may be essential attributes, while nationality and occupation may be non-essential attributes.

The classification as to which object identification attributes 125 are essential attributes 155 and which object identification attributes 125 are non-essential attributes 160 is based on which subscriber request attributes 120 are essential attributes 145 and which Preferably, the subscriber request attribute 120 matches a classification as to whether it is a non-essential attribute 150. This is illustrated in FIG.
To ensure that the essential attributes 155 can be perfectly matched with the essential attributes 145, as described below with reference to. Similarly, which subscriber attribute 1
15 are essential attributes 135, and which subscriber attributes 115 are non-essential attributes 14
The classification as to whether the object request attribute 130 is an essential attribute 165
And preferably matches the classification as to which object request attributes 120 are non-essential attributes 170. This is explained below with reference to FIG.
Ensure that essential attributes 135 can be perfectly matched with essential attributes 165.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the classification of which object identification attributes 125 are essential attributes 155 and which object identification attributes 125 are non-essential attributes 160 is determined by the matchmaking system administrator. Stipulated. In another embodiment of the present invention, the classification as to which object identification attributes 125 are essential attributes 155 and which object identification attributes 125 are non-essential attributes 160 is defined by the subscriber. In both of these embodiments, the classification in the object identification attribute 125 is imposed as the classification in the subscriber request attribute 120, so that the two classifications match, as described earlier herein. That will be sure.

Similarly, in one embodiment of the present invention, the classification as to which subscriber identification attributes 115 are essential attributes 135 and which subscriber identification attributes 125 are non-essential attributes 140 is a matchmaking system. Stipulated by the administrator. In another embodiment of the invention, the classification as to which subscriber identification attributes 115 are essential attributes 135 and which subscriber identification attributes 115 are non-essential attributes 140 is defined by the object. In both of these embodiments, the classification in the subscriber identification attribute 115 is imposed as the classification in the object request attribute 130, so that the two classifications match as described earlier herein. That will be sure.

The database 100 resides on a server computer 175 and is accessed by a number of client computers, such as a client computer 180 connected to the server computer 175 via an Internet connection. The client computer 180 includes the display device 185 and the H (such as HTML pages 190 and 195) transmitted from the server computer 175.
Web browser software for rendering the TML page on the display device 185.

The HTML page 190 has a user interface for entering subscriber data into the database 100, and the HTML page 195 is for displaying candidate object data received from the database 100 to the subscriber. It is preferable to have the following layout.

Reference is now made to FIG. 2, which is a simplified diagram of a database search engine for finding candidate objects for a subscriber, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Subscribers,
Subscriber data 205 is entered into the matchmaking system of the present invention for candidate objects. Objects accessible to the matchmaking system are those for which characterizing object data 210 is to be entered into the database. The subscriber data 205 has a subscriber identification attribute 215 that functions to identify the subscriber, and a subscriber request attribute 220 that functions to describe the objects of interest that the subscriber wants to find. The object data 210 has an object identification attribute 225 that functions to identify the object and an object request attribute 230 that functions to identify the subscribers that are appropriate for the object.

Next, the matchmaking system searches the object database of the system to find suitable candidate objects to match with the subscriber. Various types of searches are possible. For example, a one-way search can be performed to find candidate objects that have identification attributes that completely or partially match the subscriber request attributes. This type of search finds objects that meet the requirements sought by the subscriber. However, subscribers do not necessarily
It does not always meet the requirements needed to suit a candidate object.

In addition, a one-way search can be performed in the opposite direction, ie, to find candidate objects having required attributes that match completely or partially with the subscriber identification attributes. This type of search finds the objects for which the subscriber is suitable. However, objects are not always what is desired by the subscriber.

Alternatively, a candidate object having an identification attribute that completely or partially matches the subscriber request attribute, and a candidate object having a request attribute that completely or partially matches the subscriber identification attribute are To find out, a two-way search can be performed. This type of search will determine which objects are appropriate for the subscriber,
Find objects that meet the requirements sought by the subscriber.

As described earlier in this specification, in performing either a one-way search or a two-way search, the attributes to be matched can be fully or partially matched. Partial matching finds objects that have some attributes that match the corresponding subscriber attributes and other attributes that do not necessarily match. Typically, some attributes that are matched in a search are more important than others.

In a preferred embodiment, the present invention classifies attributes into essential attributes and non-essential attributes. As shown in FIG. 2, the subscriber identification attributes 215 are classified into essential identification attributes 235 and non-essential identification attributes 240, and the subscriber request attributes 22
0 is categorized into essential requirement attributes 245 and non-essential requirement attributes 250.
Similarly, the object identification attributes 225 are categorized into essential identification attributes 255 and non-essential identification attributes 260, and the object request attributes 230 include essential requirement attributes 265 and non-essential requirement attributes 270. Classified as

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the required attributes are classified into essential attributes and non-essential attributes, and the same classification is automatically imposed on the corresponding identification attributes. . Specifically, the classification used for the subscriber request attribute 220 is imposed on the object identification attribute 225, and the classification used for the object request attribute 230 is imposed on the subscriber identification attribute 215.

The classification for the subscriber request attribute and the classification for the object request attribute can be defined by the matchmaking system administrator. In cases where it is known in advance which attributes are essential, the matchmaking system ensures that data for all essential subscriber and object identification attributes is entered into the system. Can be If the subscriber omits the essential subscriber identification attribute, or if the user entering the object data omits the essential object identification attribute, the system will send a notification indicating that the essential attribute is missing. Subscriber data or object data is not entered into the database until displayed and provided with such missing essential attribute data.

Alternatively, the subscriber can impose his own personal classification as to which required attributes are essential to him and which are non-essential. Similarly, a user entering data for an object into a database may impose his own personal classification on which required attributes are essential to him and which required attributes are non-essential. it can.

As shown in FIG. 2, in a preferred embodiment using two-way matching, the matchmaking system creates an object having an essential identification attribute 255 that perfectly matches the corresponding essential subscriber request attribute 245. And an object having an essential required attribute 265 that perfectly matches the corresponding essential subscriber identification attribute 235. In FIG. 2, perfect matching is indicated by solid arrows.

Partial matching applies to non-essential attributes. Specifically, the non-essential object identification attribute 260 is partially matched with the corresponding non-essential subscriber request attribute 250, and the non-essential object request attribute 270 is Partially matched with the subscriber identification attribute 240. In FIG. 2, partial matching is indicated by dashed arrows.

In a preferred embodiment, when performing partial matching, the present invention provides matching rating information indicating the degree of success of the matching. Such a matching grade may be a percentage of the attributes to be matched, or an average value of the weights assigned to each attribute based on the attributes to be matched. If a candidate object is shown to the subscriber with a matching rating, the subscriber can quickly ascertain which candidate object matches more perfectly than other candidate objects.

Reference is now made to FIG. 3, which is a simplified diagram of a multilingual online object matching system that operates according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The subscriber's attribute data is input to the system using the first language and passes through the input filter 310. The input filter 310 converts the subscriber attribute data from the first language into an intermediate language-independent form. For example, the input filter 310 can convert the subscriber attribute data into a numerical form. If the user interface to the input data is manipulated by the menu such that each attribute is selected from a menu of possible choices, the conversion to numeric format is specific to the menu index.
Each attribute (e.g.,
If there is still a relatively small number of choices for (eye color), the conversion to numerical format is performed by indexing said choices.

The language independent subscriber data is input to a database 320. Search engine 330 performs a search to match objects stored in database 320 with subscriber attribute data. If a suitable match is found, search engine 330 creates a list of one or more candidate objects. The attribute data for the candidate object is retrieved in a language independent manner and passes through an output filter 340. Output filter 340 converts the object data from language independent to a second language for display to the subscriber.

[0040] The first language may be the same as the second language, or may be a different language. For example, a subscriber can use the French version of Microsoft Windows and enter their attribute data in French. Subscribers can also use the Italian version of Microsoft Windows® and search in Italian for candidate objects that match themselves. In addition, Microsoft's Windows (R)
Another subscriber using the French version of may choose to enter their attribute data in English.

As shown in FIG. 3, the input filter 310, the database 320, the search engine 330, and the output filter 340 are part of a matchmaking system existing on the server computer 350. Many client computers 360
Is connected to the server computer 350 via an Internet connection. Client computer 360 is used by subscribers to enter subscriber data into the matchmaking system and retrieve candidate object data. In contrast, the client computer 360 can be used by a user who inputs object data into the matchmaking system. Such users can also search for candidate subscriber data.

In addition to identification attributes, the present invention has the ability to use multimedia data such as images, audio clips or video clips to further identify subscribers and objects. When a matchmaking system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is used by a subscriber, the subscriber is provided with multimedia data corresponding to each candidate object found by matching, in the attribute data of the candidate object. Supplied elsewhere. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Real N
Streaming video files, such as the etworks, Inc. RealAudio format video files, are included with the object data stored in the object database, and the streaming video files associated with a particular object are candidate objects. Along with the object identification attributes for the object, it is downloaded to the subscriber for viewing.

For the purposes of this invention, a “buddler system” (budd
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that within the context of the present invention, those who are candidate objects matching a subscriber will be online at the same time as the subscriber. Such a system can be used to indicate to the subscriber that a particular person has been shown to be online and the subscriber can begin interacting with such person. Yes, reference information about the ICQ system can be found on the Internet at "http: //www.i
cq.com. "

Although the above description relates to a subscriber searching for a desired object, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be used by a user searching for a subscriber suitable for a particular object. You.

Furthermore, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention applies to many forms of matchmaking service. Examples of such services are: dating services to match subscribers to each other; employment services to match employment openings to those seeking employment; travel services to match people to vacations or tours; A commercial service that matches the product; a counseling service that matches people with a professional counselor;
Is included.

Furthermore, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited by what has been particularly shown and described herein.
