Abstract: A system and method for enhanced data collection and management for coordinating communications relating to social group activities. The system and method comprise generating a graphical user interface to be displayed to a plurality of users involved in communications relating to a social group activity. Next, the system and method generate an input for allowing a user of the plurality of users to select one of a plurality of modes for determining a proposed start time of the social group activity. A first mode enables each of the plurality of users to generate one or more proposed start times. A second mode enables the user to select a date and a condition comprising a minimum amount of users with overlapping times of availability to attend the social group activity, wherein each user of the plurality of users indicates their time availability during the selected date.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a software system or application or tool, referred to here as “Coo-e Coordinator” that provides group communication and new methods, processes and techniques for the support social activity coordination.

Abstract: A system and method for previewing calls in communications system is provided. The system includes a first communications device operated by a sender, the first communications device executing first call preview code for allowing the sender to provide relational context information relating to a call, and a second communications device operated by a receiver, the second communications device executing second call preview code for receiving the relational context information from the sender and displaying the relational context information to the receiver. The receiver can decide how to respond to the call from the sender based upon the relational context information. A plurality of user interface screens can be generated for allowing the receiver to participate in a survey relating to the call.

Abstract: A system and method for protecting user privacy using social inference protection techniques is provided. The system executes a plurality of software modules which model of background knowledge associated with one or more users of the mobile computing devices; estimate information entropy of a user attribute which could include identity, location, profile information, etc.; utilize the information entropy models to predict the social inference risk; and minimize privacy risks by taking a protective action after detecting a high risk.

Abstract: Systems and methods for recommending matches of individuals is provided. A matching server is in communication with a plurality of computer systems operated by a plurality of users of the matching server, via a network (e.g., the Internet). Attribute information is received about a plurality of individuals, as well as a search query for an individual matching at least one desired characteristic specified by a user of the matching server. An affinity score is calculated based upon the attribute information and the search query, and local user context information and social relevance information corresponding to the plurality of individuals is received. An overall match score is calculated by adjusting the affinity score based upon the local user context information and the social relevance information. If the overall match score exceeds a pre-determined threshold, an alert is transmitted to the user of the matching server which identifies potential matches in the plurality of individuals.

Abstract: A system and method for recommending a social interaction space to an individual are disclosed. Real-time information about users and a social interaction environment are gathered. A real-time, general model of the social interaction environment, including social interaction space states, trajectories, and rhythms, is created, as well as real-time profiles of the users. Affinities are calculated between modeled environment and user profiles, and social interaction spaces of the modeled environment are recommended to the user based upon the calculated affinities.

Abstract: A personal, group, and community spatial-temporal based information system for the storage, management and sharing of user annotated spatial-temporal based information is disclosed. Spatial-temporal information is provided to the system by a variety of remote users. Geographical coordinates and time are automatically stored or sent by the device to a spatial-temporal sub-system which includes a spatial-temporal information database and a geographical information system database. Users can easily add highly accurate and relevant spatial-temporal information into a personal information management system, to be stored, shared, edited and managed by the user.
