  • Video-based social interaction system
    Patent number: 9998510
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for preventing users from lying in a social interaction system by requiring every social interaction to be mediated through software that directly accesses hardware and software components in a user's electronic device. By requiring that every interaction to be through the social interaction system (i.e. the social interaction system has direct access to the hardware components) the users using the social interaction system are more likely to become aware of the other users actual identity before meeting them in person.
