Publication number: 20200067967Abstract: Methods and systems for network-based intervention are disclosed. The methods can include receiving a user response and analyzing the user response and other user data to determine a user typology. The user typology can be compared with risk data that indicates the user's risk of failing to achieve a target outcome based on the identified user typology. If the user's risk of failing to achieve the target outcome exceeds a desired level, a mitigation plan can be generated and provided to the user to thereby facilitate in the attainment of the target outcome.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2019Publication date: February 27, 2020Inventors: Sean A.

Publication number: 20180025371Abstract: An event spectator connection tool is a multiprocessor distributed computing system. A memory stores computer instructions that direct processors to maintain a social network database storing records associated with spectators and event hosts. For each spectator, a data structure represents a primary geographic region and a list of interests of the spectator. For each event host, a data structure represents a list of geographic regions and a list of services offered at each venue operated by the event host.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2017Publication date: January 25, 2018Inventors: Symon Warner Perriman, Sean York Eagan
