The technical field to which the invention relates.

The invention relates to the field of information retrieval, namely, people search servers according to predetermined parameters adapted to connect to mobile client devices via an integrated network, wherein the people search server according to predetermined parameters comprises a user identification unit including a user registration module including user parameter generation module and query generation module for searching for other users connected to the module with a database of all registered users ers and can be used to search for people on the set parameters, for example, to explore with the help of mobile client devices, or to establish new business contacts among the bystanders.

The level of technology.

A well-known server for searching people for given parameters, described in the description of the patent for utility model of the Russian Federation N ^Q 70018, published in 2008

In it, the central control device (server) has a user database and software, the feature of which is the availability of a computing module that processes and compares at least one face image selected as a reference with at least one face image of the user, entered in the user database.

Its disadvantage is the low functionality of the people search server according to the specified parameters, due to the fact that the server does not allow the detection of user coordinates and alerts users whose coordinates are within the specified proximity distance, and whose parameters in the database are mutually consistent with the generated requests located in the same database.

The server is also known from the prior art for a people search server according to predetermined parameters adapted to be connected to mobile client devices via an integrated network, and a people search server for predetermined parameters comprises a user identification unit including a user registration module including a module the formation of user parameters and the query generation module for searching other users connected to the module with a database of all registered users, described in the description of the patent for the invention of the Russian Federation N22279191, published in 2006

In it, the server is configured for storing user profiles, comparing at least one parameter in the user profiles for the given criteria, and transmitting a command to the mobile operator’s station to connect mobile communication terminals whose user profiles meet the criteria for transmitting these data. personal data in the mode of short digital SS and / or MMS messages

This system is the closest in technical essence and the achieved technical result to the proposed solution and is taken as a prototype of the invention.

Its disadvantage is the low functionality of the people search server for the given parameters, due to the fact that the server does not allow for the detection of user coordinates and alerts for users whose coordinates are within the set proximity distance, and whose parameters in the database are mutually consistent with the generated requests located in the same database. In other words, the opportunity to provide users with a “happy chance to meet their soul mate” disappears. Or, establish new business contacts among nearby persons. Disclosure of the invention.

Based on this original observation, the present invention mainly aims to offer a people search server for given parameters, which allows at least mitigating the above drawback, namely, to expand the functionality of a people search server for given parameters by notifying users whose the coordinates fell within the set proximity distance, and whose parameters in the database are mutually consistent with the generated requests.

To achieve this goal, the user identification unit comprises a user coordinate determination module adapted to receive user coordinates using a mobile coordinate determination module a client device and connected to the unit for comparing the coordinates of other users for getting into the set distance of proximity, connected to the unit for comparing user parameters and their requests, connected to the module with a database of all registered users and with the block sending alerts to those users whose coordinates were in the set distance of proximity, and whose parameters in the database are mutually consistent with the generated requests located in the same database.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to allow the user not to follow the search process, but once activating it, go about their business, when the server finds the right person, the server automatically notifies the user.

There is an embodiment of the invention in which a user registration module includes a user password recovery unit.

Thanks to this advantageous feature, it becomes possible to recover a user's password when it is lost or forgotten.

There is an embodiment of the invention in which the alert sending unit is implemented as a unit for sending CMC messages to mobile client devices.

Thanks to this advantageous feature, it becomes possible to search for people using outdated models of mobile client devices that do not have the ability to display the location of the second user who matched by mutual requests.

There is an embodiment of the invention in which the user parameter generating module includes a user photo upload unit.

Thanks to this advantageous feature, it becomes possible to upload user photos to the server.

There is an embodiment of the invention in which a query generation module for searching for other users includes a numerical value generating unit for proximity distance for searching for other users.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to adjust the numerical value of the proximity distance to search for other users. For example, on a street where there are few people, this parameter has it makes sense to set it within tens of meters, and in the metro - in a fairly crowded area - it makes sense to limit the parameter to a few meters.

There is an embodiment of the invention in which a unit for comparing user parameters and their requests, and a module with a database of all registered users are additionally connected to a content exchange module between users, including a content database that is a text message and / or image and / or an audio file and / or video file.

Thanks to this advantageous feature, it is possible to continue to exchange messages, images, audio files and videos through the server. This is convenient when other forms of communication are not available.

There is an embodiment of the invention in which a module for exchanging content between users includes a module for generating virtual gifts.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to provide

"Special sign of attention" to one user to the second, for example, when meeting.

There is an embodiment of the invention in which the module for exchanging content between users includes a module for generating real gifts, which is an online store selling and delivering real gifts located on a people’s search server for a given parameter.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to order a real gift and present it to a user who is suitable for the parameters. Again, this option is intended primarily for dating options.

There is an embodiment of the invention in which the module for determining the coordinates of the mobile client device is made in the form of a GPS navigation module.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to determine the exact location of users. As a rule, mobile client devices of users with a GPS navigation module also have a means of displaying on a map display, then they can simultaneously see the exact location on their mobile client device second user (or several). They can be indicated by a special sign, for example, by a heart (when dating).

The set of essential features of the invention is unknown from the prior art for devices of similar purpose, which allows us to conclude that the criterion of "novelty" for the invention.

The implementation of the invention.

The people search server for the given parameters works in the following way. (See FIG. 2).

Example 1. The functioning of the people search server according to the given parameters as applied to the standard operating mode.

Stage A1. Each user who wants to find a person by the given parameters, mainly to find his own pair, and having a mobile client device 2, is registered on server 1. For this, he sends a signal to the user registration module 5 located in the user identification unit 4.

Stage A2. Each user sends to the server 1 through module 6 the formation of user parameters their personal data characterizing the user as the server user (username and password), and for the possibility of searching by other users (gender, age, hobbies, etc.). These data fall into module 8 and are stored in database 8B of all registered users. In the process of using the server, any user can subsequently change, edit, add or delete their personal data.

Stage A3. Each user sends to the server 1 through the query generation module 7 to search for other users a request containing the parameters of the person whom the user is looking for, for example, for acquaintance. The parameters may contain a range of age, weight, height, interests, and so on, as well as the parameter of the goal of the search (serious relationship, flirt, friendship, search for a travel companion, etc.). These requested data also fall into module 8 and are stored in the database 8B of all registered users. In the process of using the server, any user can subsequently change, edit, add or delete their requests to search for other users. Using the block 16 for generating the numerical value of the proximity distance to search for other users, each user generates a numerical value of the distance of proximity, which can vary from situation. For example, on a street where there are few people, it makes sense to set such a parameter within tens of meters, and in the metro - in a fairly densely populated area - it makes sense to limit the parameter to a few meters.

Stage A4. Each user using the GPS module in his mobile client device transmits the coordinates to server 1, where they are compared with the coordinates of other users using block 10 comparing the coordinates of other users for getting into the set distance of proximity.

Stage A5. Upon detection of a second user who is in the established distance of proximity with the first user, mainly in the field of visibility, using block 11 for mutual comparison of user parameters and their requests, which is connected to module 8 with a database 8B, all registered users check the first and second users for mutual compliance of parameters and queries.

Stage A6. If such a correspondence is found, the alert sending unit 12 sends a signal to the first and second users, that is, to those users whose coordinates are within the set proximity distance and whose parameters in the database are mutually consistent with the generated queries located in the same database. Such a signal can be sent using block 14 sending CMC messages to mobile client devices of the first and second user.

Stage A7. Both users - the first and second of stage A5, receive an alert and receive the opportunity for personal communication, as they are in close proximity to each other.

Stage A8. In addition to live communication, and in addition to communication using the means of their mobile client devices, both users - the first and second of step A5, using the tools provided by the server can additionally use the module 17 for exchanging content between users, which includes a database of content 17B, which represents a text message and / or image and / or audio file and / or video file. Thus, being subsequently out of sight, using their mobile client devices, both users can exchange content through the server, which is a text message and / or image and / or audio file and / or video file.

Stage A9. Also, in addition to live communication, and in addition to communication using the means of their mobile client devices, both users - the first and second of stage A5, using the means provided by the server can additionally use module 18 for generating virtual gifts. This module generates “special” type of content, which is a text message and / or image and / or audio file and / or video file, but has a special “Gift” attribute, which allows the user who received it to understand that this is “special” »A sign of attention from another user.

Stage A10. Also, in addition to live communication, and in addition to communication using the means of their mobile client devices, both users - the first and second of stage A5, using the means provided by the server can additionally use module 19 for generating real gifts. This module is a regular online store built into the server. By means of it you can choose a gift, pay for it and order delivery at the indicated time at the specified address.

The sequence of steps is approximate and allows you to rearrange, add or perform some operations at the same time without losing the ability to search by parameters. Modifications and variations of the implementation of this solution are possible. For example, acquaintances can be made by several participants at once if they are simultaneously located in one place and if several cross-requests are satisfied simultaneously.

Example 2. The functioning of the people search server according to the given parameters as applied to the alternative mode of operation.

Stage A1 - A4 - similarly to example 1.

Step A5-1 The first user, if he has a GPS navigation module on his mobile client device and also has means of displaying on a map display, then he can simultaneously see the exact location of registered users on his mobile client device. They can be indicated by a special sign, for example, by a heart (when dating). By activating such a sign of the second or third user, the first user gets access to their personal data and their requests.

Stage A6-1. The first user can use the means of his mobile client device or server can contact registered users who are nearby and try to establish contact with them.

Steps A7-A10 are similar to example 1.

Industrial applicability.

In accordance with the proposed invention, the applicant made a people search server for the given parameters, which was made on the basis of a personal computer with a permanent connection to the Internet.

The pilot operation of the people search server for the given parameters showed that it allows you to:

- determine the coordinates of users; - make comparisons of the coordinates of other users with respect to getting into the set distance of proximity;

- maintain a database of all registered users;

- send notifications to those users whose coordinates are within the set distance of proximity, and whose parameters in the database are mutually consistent with the generated requests that are in the same database;

- recover user password;

- send CMC messages to mobile client devices;

- upload user photos to the server by the users themselves; - to form and change the numerical value of the distance of proximity to search for other users by the users themselves;

- exchange content between users, which is a text message and / or image and / or audio file and / or video file through the server;

- give virtual gifts to users .;

- give real gifts to users.

All this, ultimately, expands the functionality of the server people search for the given parameters.

An additional result of the use of such an invention is that among the search parameters you can specify not only the parameters characterizing the process of dating, but also business parameters. Thus, it is possible to form a search for masters of apartment renovation, cars, private brokers, people in any profession who are near you. In large cities, residents of one apartment building, as a rule, have no idea the occupation of their neighbors, and this invention could be useful for establishing new business contacts. Examples of such contacts: search for a free driver, a nanny for a child, a student for lessons with a child, a courier, etc., who live next door to you.
