  • Publication number: 20190379759
    Abstract: Computing systems and processes of creating provisional account profiles of users are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a computing system is configured to detect at least one ingoing or outgoing communication to or from a first globally unique identifier of a first user that has not already linked to an account of said service. In response to said detection, the computing system is configured to create a provisional user profile for the first user linked to the first globally unique identifier and gather public information associated with the first user from one or more third-party sources outside said service. When the first user joins said service, the computing system can be configured to allocate the provisional user profile to an account belonging to the first user linked to the first globally unique identifier.

  • Publication number: 20190068747
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for user profile aggregation and inference generation. In an example, user profiles for a plurality of services may be stored by a unified profile service. An inferred user profile may be generated for a user, which may be used to provide inferred user information for inclusion in a new user profile. Accordingly, the user may not need to reenter information that may already be stored by the unified profile service. The inferred user profile may be generated based on one or more confidence levels in order to determine which user information is most likely to be accurate. In some examples, a user may update aspects of an inferred user profile and may indicate that the update should be incorporated into other user profiles stored by the unified profile service.
