The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/785,976, filed Dec. 28, 2018, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
FIELDThe embodiments relate to systems for determining the quality and improving the likelihood of an interaction between individuals.
BACKGROUNDHuman interaction is optimized when individuals perceive a connection between each other or to a group. As connection precedes change and alliance precede allowance, the value of cohesiveness is of extreme importance in a functional relationship (whether personal or professional).
The use of mobile devices has allowed humans to connect and interact with one another all around the world. This rise in connectivity can result in a topical relationship between friends, business acquaintances, and other forms of connections. While individuals and businesses have used various personality tests to determine the likelihood of a beneficial relationship between each party, these tests are often inaccurate or incomplete resulting in lost time and resources.
Recently, a variety of web-based and mobile applications use images to determine the likelihood of a valuable relationship based on physical appearance. These systems often lack understanding of the personal side of the individuals who are participating. Further, these systems do not take into consideration the vast amount of data now available which can be used to predict human interactions.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONEmbodiments disclosed herein provide a system for predicting the outcome of an interaction between users. The system is comprised of a database in communication with one or more computing devices via a network. The database is configured to store user characteristics generated via a processor executing instructions stored in the database. The processor performs the steps of aggregating user characteristics and assigning the user characteristics to one or more identifiers. The identifiers are each comprised of two or more indicators each corresponding to at least one user characteristic.
In one aspect, the two or more indicators are each comprised of an alphabetic character or numeric integer.
In one aspect, the user characteristic corresponds to a communication characteristic, an intimacy characteristic, a teamwork characteristic, or another useful characteristic as known in the arts.
In one aspect, the user is provided with a plurality of selectable interaction tabs on the computing device. Each tab corresponds to an interaction type.
In one aspect, the plurality of interaction tabs is comprised of the following: a relationship tab, a professional tab, a social/recreational tab, a personal tab, a neuro-connection tab, coaching/trainer tab, and an educational tab. Each tab allows for interactions to be predicted for the particular interaction type. A relationship interaction outcome, a professional interaction outcome, a neuro-connection outcome, a personal interaction outcome, a coaching interaction outcome, an educational interaction outcome, or another interaction type outcome is determined between two or more users within the community of users.
A more complete understanding of the embodiments, and the attendant advantages and features thereof, will be more readily understood by references to the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
The specific details of the single embodiment or variety of embodiments described herein are set forth in this application. Any specific details of the embodiments are used for demonstration purposes only, and no unnecessary limitation or inferences are to be understood therefrom.
Before describing in detail exemplary embodiments, it is noted that the embodiments reside primarily in combinations of components related to the system. Accordingly, the device components have been represented where appropriate by conventional symbols in the drawings, showing only those specific details that are pertinent to understanding the embodiments of the present disclosure so as not to obscure the disclosure with details that will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of the description herein.
The term “user(s),” as utilized herein can include individuals, businesses, or groups of humans. The system can be used to predict the interaction between a single user in addition to a group of users.
The term “interaction(s)” can be used to describe the reciprocal action or influence between individuals, groups, businesses, or combinations thereof. Interactions can include individuals, families, groups, businesses, teams, education, dating, or other users of the system.
In some embodiments, the user can select from a plurality of tabs on the GUI to select a type of interaction. For example, the user can select from a relationship tab, a professional tab, a personality tab, a neuro-connection tab, a social/recreational tab, a coaching/trainer tab, an educational tab, or likewise interaction type the user will engage in.
In some embodiments, the professional (or business) tab facilitates the aggregation and cultivation of compatible and competitive teams for general or specific business and professional purposes. This tab can be used to develop operating teams, customer support teams, marketing, licensing, negotiations and various other business-related interactions. The system may determine interactions between two or more users who are members of the business, one or more users who are members of the business and a consumers/customer, associates of the business, interviewers and interviewees, and/or interactions between consumers/customers.
In one example, the system facilitates the aggregation of information which is useful for service providers in the customer service industry as well as in the marketing industry. For example, the system applies an interaction theory to make connections between users stronger by determining commonalities between each user. In this manner, a marketing influencer can provide relevant information to a consumer. The system can use interaction theory to provide a unique interactive marketing influencer program for businesses or other users of the system.
In some embodiments, an AI engine analyzes user characteristics and generate a determination of future actions from the characteristics.
In some embodiments, a user acting as a business can utilize the system to make informed hiring decisions. In another example, the business user can utilize the system to improve interaction outcomes for employees and consumers alike.
In yet another example, an educator can select the education tab to enable further insight into the characteristics of each student in relation to the education and other students with whom they interact. This can be used to enhance the efficacy of the education environment to improve the output of the student.
In another embodiment, the user may select the relationship tab to enable dating/relationship compatibility to be predicted by the system. In one example, a test is provided to determine characteristics of the user.
In some embodiments, users in a relationship can select to view their couple compatibility on a visual continuum scale as shown in
Processors 110 suitable for the execution of a computer program include both general and special purpose microprocessors and any one or more processors of any digital computing device. The processor 110 will receive instructions and data from a read-only memory or a random-access memory or both. The essential elements of a computing device are a processor for performing actions in accordance with instructions and one or more memory devices for storing instructions and data. Generally, a computing device will also include, or be operatively coupled to receive data from or transfer data to, or both, one or more mass storage devices for storing data, e.g., magnetic, magneto-optical disks, or optical disks; however, a computing device need not have such devices. Moreover, a computing device can be embedded in another device, e.g., a mobile telephone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile audio or video player, a game console, a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, or a portable storage device (e.g., a universal serial bus (USB) flash drive).
A network interface may be configured to allow data to be exchanged between the computer system 100 and other devices attached to a network 130, such as other computer systems, or between nodes of the computer system 100. In various embodiments, the network interface may support communication via wired or wireless general data networks, such as any suitable type of Ethernet network, for example, via telecommunications/telephony networks such as analog voice networks or digital fiber communications networks, via storage area networks such as Fiber Channel SANs, or via any other suitable type of network and/or protocol.
The memory 120 may include application instructions 150, configured to implement certain embodiments described herein, and a database 160, comprising various data accessible by the application instructions 150. In one embodiment, the application instructions 150 may include software elements corresponding to one or more of the various embodiments described herein. For example, application instructions 150 may be implemented in various embodiments using any desired programming language, scripting language, or combination of programming languages and/or scripting languages (e.g., C, C++, C #, JAVA®, JAVASCRIPT®, PERL®, etc.).
The steps and actions of the computer system 100 described in connection with the embodiments disclosed herein may be embodied directly in hardware, in a software module executed by a processor, or in a combination of the two. A software module may reside in RAM, flash memory, ROM memory, EPROM memory, EEPROM memory, registers, a hard disk, a removable disk, a CD-ROM, or any other form of storage medium known in the art. An exemplary storage medium may be coupled to the processor 110 such that the processor 110 can read information from, and write information to, the storage medium. In the alternative, the storage medium may be integrated into the processor 110. Further, in some embodiments, the processor 110 and the storage medium may reside in an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). In the alternative, the processor and the storage medium may reside as discrete components in a computing device. Additionally, in some embodiments, the events or actions of a method or algorithm may reside as one or any combination or set of codes and instructions on a machine-readable medium or computer-readable medium, which may be incorporated into a computer program product.
Also, any connection may be associated with a computer-readable medium. For example, if the software is transmitted from a website, server, or other remote source using a coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, digital subscriber line (DSL), or wireless technologies such as infrared, radio, and microwave, then the coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, DSL, or wireless technologies such as infrared, radio, and microwave are included in the definition of medium. “Disk” and “disc,” as used herein, include compact disc (CD), laser disc, optical disc, digital versatile disc (DVD), floppy disk and Blu-ray disc where disks usually reproduce data magnetically, while discs usually reproduce data optically with lasers. Combinations of the above should also be included within the scope of computer-readable media.
In some embodiments, the system is world-wide-web (www) based, and the network server is a web server delivering HTML, XML, etc., web pages to the computing devices. In other embodiments, a client-server architecture may be implemented, in which a network server executes enterprise and custom software, exchanging data with custom client applications running on the computing device.
In some embodiments, each indicator is a 202,204 alphabetical and/or numeric character such as for example, an X or a Y allowing for four possibilities for two factors including XX, XY, YX, and YY. These four possibilities can be used to predict compatibility between users within the community. Each of the four possibilities relates to factors which may represent the four dimensions of a relationship. In one example, the four factors include communication, intimacy, adaptability, and interactivity. The indicator X may relate to a high value and the Y to a low value, such that a user who receives indicators XY has high communication and low intimacy. The system may then determine that a user who receives an XY may not be compatible with a user who receives a YX.
In some embodiments, third-party users are in communication with the network. Third-party users may receive user information and advertise, counsel, or otherwise interact with the user. For example, a married couple which the system determines are incompatible with one another may receive advertisements for counseling to improve the likelihood of a successful relationship.
In some embodiments in particular, the user can view the degree to which a user has high, borderline, or low communication tendencies. This can be used to predict interactions as described hereinabove.
Many different embodiments have been disclosed herein, in connection with the above description and the drawings. It will be understood that it would be unduly repetitious and obfuscating to literally describe and illustrate every combination and subcombination of these embodiments. Accordingly, all embodiments can be combined in any way and/or combination, and the present specification, including the drawings, shall be construed to constitute a complete written description of all combinations and subcombinations of the embodiments described herein, and of the manner and process of making and using them, and shall support claims to any such combination or subcombination.
