Abstract: A method and system is provided for personally encountered users to subsequently identify one another and safely interact. Information of the encounter location description, or wirelessly obtained ID's in the encounter, along with a user's self-description that contains enough information for that user to be identified by other encountered users are transmitted to a system. The system displays to a user a collection of self-descriptions of other encountered users. From among the encountered users, a user can choose his target for further interactions in an unobtrusive and private way, including mutual intention inquiry, specific connection intention matching and unilateral interest expression.

Abstract: Apparatus, method and system to subsequently connect people who have crossed paths in person. A user can actively connect with other users, express interests to other users anonymously, or find out if other users have interests for him, from a previous or current encounter.
