Description

SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ARRANGING COMMUNICATION BASED ON CIRCUMSTANCES OF CONTACT AND RELATED INVENTIONS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a system and method of arranging a communication based on circumstances of a contact in a situation where it is difficult or impossible to arrange a communication by conventional means or by conventional methods, and related inventions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Some definitions and terms used in this "background of the invention" chapter and starting with a capital letter may be defined below in present application.
At the present time, people do not have a default meeting point off-line or on-line that could be used for various purposes. If such a default meeting place were to exist, many of mankind's unresolved or ineffectively resolved problems could be resolved. Thus, a need exists to create such a meeting place. A further need exists for some rules on how to use it in an effective way.
One example of how such a default meeting point could be used is as follows: A default meeting point may arrange communication between strangers in the event that both strangers wish for such communications.
Many people often like strangers that they meet on the streets, in subway, in cafes, etc. Such people could have an interest in the strangers they meet. Such interest may be for communication, romance, sex, matrimony, friendship, and so forth. In many cultures, social rules prevent people from communicating easily with strangers. Thus, in many cases, people hesitate to initiate contact with the strangers that they are interested in. One reason for hesitation may be that they have doubts about how the stranger will respond. It is almost always unclear if the stranger really wants to communicate with them, and whether the stranger likes them too. The fear of rejection, especially in front of third parties, is one of the basic factors preventing people interested in communicating with strangers from initiating contact.
In many cases, people may regard an attempt to arrange communication with a stranger as impolite or inconvenient. In many cases, an entire situation formed by a combination of factors prevents people from trying to arrange a communication with a stranger. For example, the situation may be that the person or a stranger is in a hurry, either of them are surrounded by friends, relatives or colleagues, they may be at work, or any other circumstances that make dating more difficult for most people.
Another major problem that occurs in dating and moments prior to dating is that many people do not know how to date; they do not know what to do or what to say in various situations to be effective, polite and correct in attracting the attention of the stranger. As a result of the mentioned problems, many people remain lonely and unhappy through their failure to resolve these problems and to date, even in cities where they may meet hundreds of other people every day.
Many of such lonely persons are decent, shy, good people. This category of people more often has more difficulty communicating with a stranger, than the category of people who are experienced in communications or in picking people up, who have fewer complexes, or are just bold, drunk, etc. Sometimes people feel bad for not making an attempt to date any people and try to find a person to arrange a communication.
There are some posts that can be found on the Internet informing that one person saw some other person somewhere and trying to find that person using different means, including posting in the Internet forums or social networks, hi one example, a guy has created a special web site to find a girl he saw in a subway, asking others to forward information about this site. This web site, http://www.nvgirlofmydream.com, is a unique (or one of the very few) examples where a person found a stranger that they met in real life through the Internet. The guy who tried to find the girl drew and described himself and her, and Internet users forwarded the link to this web site to one another, until one of the users recognized the girl and she contacted the guy back.
This http://www.nvgirlofmydream.com web site is not a default meeting point, but instead was aimed by one specific person to find another specific person, and does not allow other people to do the same at the same or other web sites.
Nowadays dating goes online more and more. The number and the sizes of dating sites, and social networks with the dating features, are constantly growing, as well as their types and variations.
For example, dating with fellow travelers become popular recently, e.g. http://www.travel-companion.net, which allows people to find a person going the same way at the same time, whom they had never contacted, and to get to know that person. But it is almost impossible with such services to find a person that one has met in real life. Many virtual social networks, such as http://www.Facebook.com or http ://www.mvspace.com, allow creation of future events which indicate the time and location. And then when the event has happened, it goes to the archive. In some social networks there are functions available that allow people to contact event participants after the event for different purposes, such as exchanging photos, impressions, confidentially checking who Crushed on whom. This could be for different kinds of events, such as a party, concert, lesson, etc.
People who register to take part in such an event are principally available to be found afterwards if somebody liked them. But there are still some limitations:
1. Event should be registered in the social network.
2. People should be registered in the same social network.
3. People should be registered for that particular event.
4. Registration in the event does not mean that user liked somebody.
5. In many cases it is impossible to confidentially check if person you liked has a mutual interest to you.
6. In most cases it is impossible to find a person you just met on the street if you don't have any contact details for this person.
7. In most cases a person using a currently available Crush checking tool will get a notification that somebody has Crush on him and be suggested to input who that person has Crush on. Getting a notification can lead to figuring out who has a Crush on the person, even if no mutual attraction exists, which may lead to confusion.
In some countries mobile dating is becoming popular (e.g., in the US - Crush or Flush). Such services allow users to see, on the screens of their cell phones, profiles and/or pictures of other users. There are some features, such as an ability to see only users whose profile fits some user determined criteria, to see only users who are located in a certain territory, to send to the system a message indicating if the user likes a particular other user or not, or to arrange communications if a mutual interest exists without disclosing most of the contact details besides a nickname, in such systems. If one of the users indicates that he does not like another user, the other user will never learn that the first user did not like him (or Flushed).
Limitation of such systems: 1. People do not see real people, and instead make decisions on the basis of a photo that exposes users of such systems to all risks and inconveniences which usual online dating systems typically have.
2. In most cases, it is impossible to find on the system a person you just met in the street if you don't have any contact details of this person.
Some of the social networks allow a user to find people using a criteria of the places they visited previously, e.g. http://www.odnoklassniki.ru.
It means that one can indicate a place, e.g. Beijing summer 2008 or a certain hotel in Beijing in summer 2008, as a place he visited and theoretically if the person he liked in Beijing also indicated the same place or just visited this page, it is more easy for them to find each other if they want to.
Limitations of such services:
1. Event should be registered in the social network
2. People should be registered in the same social network
3. People should be registered for a certain event
4. Registration in the event does not mean that user liked somebody
5. In many cases it is impossible to confidentially check if person you liked has a mutual interest to you.
6. The number of people registered can be very large (e.g. Beijing summer 2008) and to find the person that one liked will be difficult technically.
7. In most cases it is impossible to find there a person you just met in the street if you don't have any contact details of this person.
8. The main goal of such services is re-connection of old friends, so it is not tuned for dating.
9. In most cases, a person inputting his or her profile into such a service does not have in mind to find a particular person and to notify this person that some attraction exist between them.
10. The variety of multifunctional international and national services makes it more difficult to navigate through them to seek a certain person one met and liked in real life.
11. As a rule, a Map is not used on such web sites, where place of Contact could be marked, which makes the search even more difficult. From patent publication number US 2008/0077428 Al, PICCIONELLI
GREGORY A and GERARDI MICHAEL M, which hereby it incorporated by reference in its entirety, a method of establishing personal contact between an inquiring individual and a target individual is provided. The inquiring and target individuals are members of an organization. The patent application also includes the steps of identifying a target individual of interest to an inquiring individual, determining the location of the target individual and providing the location of the target individual to a central location, providing the target individual with a message that the inquiring individual is interested in establishing personal contact with the target individual, and providing the inquiring individual with authorization to establish personal contact with the target individual when the target individual provides a positive response to the central location. The limitations of the solution described above:
1. There is a special mention made in the Piccionelli patent application, that users should be members of an organization. Most likely it means that they should be members of the same organization. This seems to be a serious limitation for using of this solution for dating strangers who can be members of different organizations or may not be members of any organizations at all.
2. The described Piccionelli invention suggests providing the target individual with a message that the inquiring individual is interested in establishing personal contact with the target individual, and providing the inquiring individual with authorization to establish personal contact with the target individual when the target individual provides a positive response to the central location, hi contrast to the above-described patent application, providing an opportunity for people to contact each other through the system directly without prior authorization would be much more convenient and would give more opportunities. For example, if an individual placed a marker on a map where he met somebody he liked, and this somebody found this marker on the map, this provides the possibility for this somebody to do at least one of the following: to read the message the individual left for him (it can be one way communication), to write a message to such individual through the system without any prior authorization for the particular Searching Individual. It is up to the Advertiser whether to continue such communication or not, but he could have an option to get a message from the Searching Individual, which can be a Same Contact Participant or any other person. 3. The Piccionelli invention does not use a time criteria together with a location criteria for finding the location of the meeting between strangers. It is much more difficult to find a stranger in a place where hundreds of contacts can happen a day, e.g. in the central subway station if data about them is inputted into the system.
4. The mentioned Piccionelli invention does not use features of the person at the time of Contact as search criteria. The use of such features could make the search more effective.
5. The mentioned Piccionelli invention does not use circumstances of the Contact or any other Contact Search Information as search criteria that could make search less more effective.
6. The mentioned Piccionelli invention suggested that the location of the target individual should be determined. At the same time a location of Seeking Individual or location of the Contact can also be used for searching purposes.
7. The mentioned Piccionelli invention suggested that both Same Contact Participants need to be subscribers of a particular service, where Target Individual will be notified that some person liked him and wants to communicate. It seems to be hardly applicable because in this case, all people need to first be registered in the service, and only then are they able to get a notification. In contrast to the Piccionelli invention, it would be much more effective if people could leave a System Marker and get the information finding such System Marker notwithstanding a prior registration.
8. The mentioned Piccionelli invention suggested that preferably, the target individual "is visually identifiable as a member of a remote dating organization." Wearing a special sign can be inconvenient for many reasons. Moreover many people may not wish to indicate to third parties their desire to arrange any kind of communication with some person.
9. The mentioned Piccionelli invention does not suggest using a Map. A Map could make a search based on location of the Same Contact Participant easier.
10. The mentioned Piccionelli invention suggested that the user can get a negative response from the individual he liked. Getting a negative response can be harmful for a person.
11. The mentioned Piccionelli invention does not suggest a System for implementation of methods, as well new uses of the different objects. Also United States Patent #7,255,277 of August 14, 2007 DRAGOS III JOHN describes a dating system using a small coded item produced. A first user, in on-line website, may enter personal contact information and a location where a visual contact was achieved but a desired dating communication was not successful. This may allow a second user to access the personal data by providing the location where the visual contact was achieved to retrieve the personal data and initiate the desired dating communication. Limitations of cited invention:
1. The mentioned Dragos invention does not disclose using a time criteria together with a location criteria for to find the location of the meeting between strangers. It is much more difficult to find a stranger in a place where hundreds of contacts can happen a day, e.g. on the central subway station if data about them be inputted into the system.
2. The mentioned Dragos invention does not disclose using features of the person at the time of Contact as search criteria, which makes the search less effective.
3. The mentioned Dragos invention does not disclose using circumstances of the Contact or any other Contact Search Information as search criteria, that makes search less effective.
4. The mentioned Dragos invention suggests determining a visual code to be implemented on a first embodiment corresponding to a dating status. Wearing a special sign can be inconvenient for many reasons, moreover many people may not wish to indicate to third parties their desire to arrange any kind of communication with some person.
5. The visual code under the provisions of the mentioned Dragos invention should be bought or acquired by people, which means additional obstacles to get the service offered by such system.
6. The mentioned Dragos invention does not suggest using a Map, that makes search based on location of the Same Contact Participant more difficult.
7. The sphere of implementation of the mentioned Dragos invention is limited to the dating relations, while a default meeting point can be used for a range of the other purposes.
8. Only visual contact is involved, while a lot of other types of contacts can occur, e.g. virtual, verbal etc.
9. Visual code informing about the marriage status exists in traditions of many countries. 10. A person could have an original desire not to date personnaly instantly, but to get into preliminary contact online, and only after that date in person.
Additionally, there are some dating services which allow potential dates to observe the users of the system in their automobiles and use license plate number or dating services id placed on the car. Example: System described in United States Patent #6,594,502 of July 15, 2003, KOESTER HENRY.
Limitations of such systems:
1. Only people in cars are involved. Many people do not have cars or are not in cars at the time of the contact.
2. It is not always possible to see a license plate number in different traffic conditions.
3. It is not always easy to remember a license plate number.
4. It can endanger participants of traffic if one of the drivers tries to discern a license plate number of the other car and to write it down to any medium (paper, electronic etc).
5. In many countries no phones are allowed while driving, so it will be impossible to call to the dating service instantly.
Usual online dating services do not offer a way to find a stranger you met in real life and check confidentially if a mutual attraction exists.
Besides online dating services have following limitations:
1. User is never guaranteed that the potential date placed his or her own photo
2. Many people are too shy to register on such services or do not want do it for personal reasons, e.g. they don't want their friends find them on the dating site.
3. The editing of the photos by photo editors is wide spread.
4. The placing of photo shot a long ago is widespread. The real person is often older.
5. Providing false data is widespread (age, parameters, economic level). To get true data, one needs to spend some time and other resources and meet with the date in real life, being exposed to all risks connected with the personal meeting with a stranger.
There is very little likelihood of finding the stranger one met in real life on an online dating sites and social networks, by the total screening of all profiles available on such sites using some criteria, and such way is very ineffective. There are also some social networks, which allow marking the locations in the map and contacting people who placed such marker.
Example: In http://www.mirtesen.ru and similar systems, a marker means a current location of the user, a place the user likes, a place the user can be at from time to time or has been recently. Anybody who saw a marker on http://www.mirtesen.ru can try to contact the user who placed it but such person is not guaranteed against any actions of the user who placed such marker.
No doubts anyone can try to use such system to find a stranger he met in real life and can find him, if
1. such stranger is a participant of such social network;
2. the place they met will be one of the favorite places or any other meaningful places for the stranger.
But,
1. it is impossible to check confidentially a mutual attraction between users of such networks. One can just communicate directly with any user who placed any marker, who may respond negatively.
2. So the probability to find a stranger one met in real life is not high.
3. Known solutions are not tuned for finding a stranger one met somewhere and hardly to be used effectively for finding a stranger if such strangers want to arrange communication with the Same Contact Participant.
4. They are also not positioned as a default meeting point, including as a default meeting point for strangers. http ://Vpodzemke.ru - web site allows adding peoples' routes linked to the time when people are in subway, but
1. The possibility to marker a point of the contact is not announced and applied
2. Solution is limited only to several cities subways.
3. It is not positioned or claimed to be a default meeting point.
4. No reconnection features realized there.
5. Finding a stranger one met somewhere there is hardly achievable there. Phone users, especially mobile phone when they meet new people leave the identification related to the circumstances of their meeting, e.g. if Alice dated Bob in a bar "Vodka-bar" and she has a dozen more Bobs in her cell phone, she can link the phone number of the Bob "from Vodka-bar" with "Vodka-Bar" in her records in the cell phone as "Bob Vodka-bar".
The calendars and schedulers also assume, that when planning meetings the contact details of the person can be linked with the circumstances of the contact between people. E.g. meet Bob in 6 p.m. Cafe "Petit Paris".
But existing cell phone notes, organizers, records, calendars and schedulers use at least some of the Contact Details, and do not suggest:
1. Arranging Communication without using contact details.
2. Dating between its remote users
3. Promoting it as a default meeting point for any or certain purpose.
Confidential checking of mutual attraction between people who know each other.
Very often people, who know each other like each other, but hesitate to express their feelings because they are unsure if the person they like likes them too.
Thus it is a problem how to change the relations from that of friendship, business etc. to one of the intimate, love etc. Fear that the previous relations will be changed irreversibly or fear to be blamed for harassment makes the problem even more difficult.
This problem is acknowledged and there are some attempts to resolve it technically.
Several examples are eCrush.com, smsCrush.com.au and similar services using e- mails or sms. They work like the following:
1. Tell us who you like by entering his or her E-mail or cell phone number by sms.
2. We email or sms your Crushes asking who they like.
3. If you match we tell you both at same time. If you don't, they'll never know it was you. Limitations:
1. User should know an e-mail or cell phone number of his or her Crush and the Crush should know the same about the user.
2. It is possible, that Crush does not want this message, asking who he likes. Receiving of such letter can compromise him.
3. It is possible, that Crush may be does not like the idea that somebody will give his or her contact details to some service. 4. After getting a notification, the Crush or third party having this notification can check all friends of Crush inputting their data into the service and figure out that it was a certain person even if such person is not his or her Crush. When e-mail or cell phone number of any friend is inputted such people will get the same notification that is connected with the mentioned inconveniences. When an initiator of the Crush letter is discovered he most probably will get a notification that he has a mutual attraction with the person he likes, that is false, and the whole situation can lead to unpredictable consequences.
5. Very often spamming fears of users prevent such services from development and sometimes some services collect user data and spam them.
6. Both participants of such communication need to use e-mails or cell phones, while many people don't use them.
7. Getting a notification on e-mail or cell phone can compromise person and lead to the unpredictable personal problems.
8. While Crush did not express a desire to have such message, he gets it, being charged for incoming sms or e-mail by corresponding service provider in many countries.
There are some cases recorded where some services used an algorithm to spam e- mails to initiate viral activity of recipients and used the e-mails of the Crushes got from such recipients for spamming purposes.
As mentioned above, some social networks have a "Crush" and "dating" applications and functions, but it has great limitations described above.
There is no universal solution in Internet to check confidentially a mutual attraction between people who know each other.
Finding of lost people and reconnection.
There are no universal default meeting points in the world where people who knew each other could reconnect after having minimal information about each other.
As an example, a child who lost his or her parents in the war time may not know his name and names of the parents, but he or she is more likely to know the place where he was found by the other people and time when he was found.
People thrown by the war to the different countries can also experience difficulties to reconnect though they have some contact details. It seems to be reasonable to have a single default meeting point for the entire world, where people who lost each other could find one another. For example, they may indicate on a map a location and time when they saw each other last time, but no such solutions seems to be available.
For kids who was lost in the present time there are also no universal solution offered. Every country and territory has its own algorithms, including police and the special organizations.
No doubts, there were local attempts to make some default meeting points, e.g. GUM (Main Department Store (Moscow, Russia)) administration, especially before cell phones became wide-spread, kept announcing a call for GUM visitors if they are lost to meet at the central fountain. But such solutions can be used only off-line in very limited space and very limited situations.
There are also special TV programs, e.g. "Zhdi menia" (Wait for me) that are trying to help people, mostly lost in wars and disasters, reconnect. But such attempts are limited by the time and zones of the broadcasting of such TV programs, and by the audience of TV channels.
Internet projects such as http://razluke.net allow the search of such people in Internet, but map is not used there, and no Markers on such map linked to the time of the previous contacts between people who lost exist. It makes the search of people more difficult.
Existing traditional systems of reconnection, such as http://Friendster.com, http ://Classmates . com, http://Facebook.com etc., for effective search for the old friends or Contact Participants require knowing at least some of the Contact Details.
So there are no effective solutions for reconnection without having at least some of the Contact Details.
Communication with the people covered by mass media or interested in a topic related to the certain mass media coverage.
Many mass media provide an option to leave a comment on the information presented in the certain reportage.
But usually it does not give an opportunity to get in contact with the persons covered in this mass media. Youtube and similar services allow a user to place any video reportage from mass media and comment on it, but there are also limitations:
1. This service is not promoted and customized as a tool to contact persons covered in any reportage in any mass media.
2. The scope of the reportages covered on Youtube and the like services is limited just to video reportages, while paper newspapers, radio, Internet pages remain mostly not covered by Youtube and similar services.
3. This service is not promoted as a default meeting point for people related to any reportage or mass media coverage.
Digg.com, reddit.com and similar user generated resources:
1. They are limited to the submitted links to websites. So it is impossible to discuss any off-line resource there.
2. The primary purpose is not to arrange communication between a person covered by mass media coverage and others who want to contact such person, but to share interesting information, rate it, and comment on it
Communication without disclosing Contact Details.
Suppose:
Alice met Bob for a first time and talked to him. Alice wants to communicate more, but still hesitates to give him her contact details. Giving any contact details can endanger a person in different ways. For example, giving an e-mail can endanger an individual in the following ways: someone can learn her IP address out of it and figure out her physical address or other contact details, find her on the web together with her real name, send her a computer virus, keep sending unwanted e-mails, etc. A person can have several e-mails or cell-phones especially for such cases, but using it brings additional difficulties, e.g. additional payments for two phones, charging batteries for two phones, etc., and can attract suspicions of the people who know the person.
Giving a social network ID or name can also be inconvenient because it gives a stranger the chance to collect a lot of personal information out of there and enables the stranger to send unwanted messages.
Alternatively Alice can ask Bob to give his details, but in this case Bob is exposed to the same risks mentioned above. The arranging of the next meeting can be an alternative, but new meeting demands time, resources and exposes person to all risks connected with the personal meeting with a person who one hardly knows. In the Internet, there are no default meeting points or even a meeting point that can be agreed on by the people where they can easily "meet" in virtual space and communicate without the exposure of contact details by at least one of the people having at the same time possibility to irrevocably interrupt such communication if there are such need occur, that can not be resumed without mutual desire to do it of two communication participants.
There are also no web sites where contact participants could find each other easily, using information about the circumstances of their contact, that they originally know since they participated in the same contact.
Exploration which of the strangers who saw you liked you and want to communicate with you.
Suppose: Bob and Alice are lonely and do not know each other. Bob saw Alice when she was in the subway. Alice was reading a book and did not notice Bob. Bob hesitated to initiate communication with Alice and left the train on the next station.
If Alice had noticed Bob she would have liked him and would be willing to communicate. If she knew that Bob liked her too, she would have been even more enthusiastic.
There are no universal worldwide technical solutions currently available to explore who of the strangers liked a certain person.
There are some other solutions that can be used for this purpose in some way but they don't offer a most effective way to do it, are not tuned for this purpose and not positioned for such purpose.
For example, the web site http ://www .mirtesen.ru and similar web sites allow marking on online maps places which a user visits often, or the user's favorites places or some other places. In theory if Bob marked several places there and Alice saw him in such place visited such site she can find him there and contact him.
But there are serious limitations for using such solutions for the purpose of exploring who of the strangers who saw you liked you and want to communicate with you:
1. The mentioned invention does not suppose using a time criteria together with location criteria for finding a location of the meeting between strangers.
2. It is impossible to indicate user's usual route, but instead one should mark numerous points on the map. 3. It is impossible to track automatically Crush and dating activity on the user's route.
4. There are no universal solutions for a world.
5. No guarantee that the attraction is mutual.
6. Impossible to check if the attraction is mutual without disclosing yourself.
7. The place a contact took place has to be marked as meaningful for both contact participants by the reason other then the marking a place of the contact.
Reconnection of the people who hardly know each other but want to reconnect.
Suppose, somebody you traveled with in the same train found your lost item and wants to return it to you. hi most cases, people that are just sitting not far from each other are not exchanging contact details. So to return your lost item he has to contact the train administration or some station administration and you should do the same, which is not easy, especially for foreigners.
Another example can be an attempt to date made by two people, that failed due to any reason and potential date left each other without exchanging contact details.
There is no universal worldwide technical solution to reconnect for such people.
Using former contact details for reconnection.
Some solutions using former contact details currently exist, e.g. in Linkedin one can find former colleagues using the name of the company they worked in previously.
But in many cases people are changing their phones, e-mails etc, and no other information about them is available. There are no universal technical solutions allowing people to reconnect using former e-mail, phone, pager number and physical address currently.
Sites about lost people, wherein such information about where and when the lost individual was seen last time, e.g. had a kind of Contact and has kind of id based on time and place of such contact, it goes together with the information whom to contact to regarding this issue. But usually one can not contact the lost person using such identifier; it is usually made for people who saw this lost person. The purpose of such sites is limited to the reconnection between people who knew each other for a long time, and such sites are not used for finding strangers one saw just once and even did not exchanged a word. So the invention differs largely from what lost people related sites are about. Local event discussion.
People are often interested in getting information and discussing local events, starting from the delivery of a new line of shoes in the nearest shop, entertainment events etc, linked to the certain location. Sometimes people witness some event in certain location and want to discuss it with other witnesses or people just got information about such local event and want to exchange information regarding that. There is no global solution offered in this sphere positioned like that, especially with the use of map, where a time coordinate can be used for systematization of the information.
So there is an obvious technical problem in communication in the systems and methods mentioned above.
Incorporation by reference
All publications, patents, and patent applications mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent, or patent application was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
SUMMARY OF THE EMBODIMENTS Terms and definitions
The corresponding terms and definitions in this application may have the meanings as described below unless otherwise clearly stated. The word is deemed to be used in the special meaning set by the definitions given below if it starts with the capital letter, if not a word is deemed to be used in common meaning.
Advertiser - Advertiser may be at least one of the following: an individual who stored information about Contact into the System; an individual who stored Contact Search Information into the System; an individual who stored Contact Search Information into the Interpersonal Contact System; an individual storing a Marker into the System; an individual storing a System Marker into the System; a Contact Participant trying to Arrange Communication with another Contact Participant of the same Contact by storing into the System at least one of the following: Marker, System Marker, Contact Search Information; or anything in this sentence wherein System is a Interpersonal Contact System. An individual that is intending to be an Advertiser may also be deemed to be an Advertiser for the purposes of this application, hi some embodiments, only the Individual who has stored in Interpersonal Contact System information, which is readable by at least one of the following: by System, by Users, by System and by Users may be deemed to be an Advertiser. In some instances, an Advertiser may be an individual who wishes to be contacted by someone else, or who presents the opportunity to be contacted by someone else. Any discussion herein for an individual may also apply to other types of entity; for example, an Advertiser may also be an organization that submits information about a Contact on behalf of an individual involved in the Contact (e.g., a human relief organization that submits information about children lost during war times or disasters).
To Arrange Communication - may be at least one of the following: to arrange any kind of communication; to get the Contact Details; to find a person; to find the information left by a person; to facilitate communication in any manner, such as an agreement to send or exchange emails, letters, phone calls, text messages, online chats or messages, in-person meetings or other live encounters; or any combination of actions described in this sentence.
Contact Details - Contact Details may be the contact details of certain person as is known or understood in the art, including but not limited to name; last name; phone number; e-mail address; social network identification, wherein such identification may be different from the Identifier and identification in Interpersonal Contact System; web domain, wherein such web is associated with a such certain person and may be different from the web domain used by Interpersonal Contact System; telex number; postal address; visiting address; address of place of business; name of affiliate organization , wherein such name is different from the name used by Interpersonal Contact System; instant messenger ID; radio call name; home address; residential address; pager number; screen name; social security number; any identification of individual enough to Arrange Communication with such certain person without the use of Interpersonal Contact System, nickname, contact details of the mutual acquaintance who can facilitate arrangement of communication with such certain person, name of service which can facilitate arrangement of communication with such certain person in an average amount of time with no use of the inventions described in this application.
Claims- may be used in the meaning "any of the claims contained in this application".
Contact - may be at least one of the following: any contact; visual contact; verbal contact; tactile contact; olfactory contact; contact without a use of telecommunication means; contact with a use of telecommunication means; any contact mentioned in this sentence between people with the duration not more then 1 second; any contact mentioned in this sentence between people with the duration not more then 1 minute; any contact mentioned in this sentence between people with the duration not more then 1 hour; any contact mentioned in this sentence between people with the duration not more then 1 day; any contact mentioned in this sentence which took place between Users; any contact mentioned in this sentence which took place between Advertiser and Searching Individual; any contact between strangers; any contact that took place between certain individuals only once; any contact that took place between certain individuals only once before they became Users; any contact between individuals, who are unable, without getting additional information about each other by using a System (besides Interpersonal Contact System), to do at least one of the following: find each other, or Arrange Communication with each other; any contact between the individuals, who are unable, without getting additional information about each other and with average efforts for average time to do by using a System (besides Interpersonal Contact System) known in the art, at least one of the following: find each other, or Arrange Communication with each other; any contact between the individuals, who are unable without getting additional information about each other to do by using a Internet site (besides Interpersonal Contact System) known in the art, at least one of the following: find each other, or Arrange Communication between each other; any contact between the individuals, who have never had contact by being at least one of the following: the formal members of the same legal entity or affiliated legal entities, the employees of the same legal entity, the students of the same organizations, the members of the same military group, anything described in this sentence that occurred between at least two individuals, wherein at least one of them is User; .any contact described in this sentence with a long enough duration to do at least one of the following: give a Sign by at least one of the participant of such contact to at least one participant of the same contact, giving any message containing a Sign; anything described in this sentence, wherein Sign is a Other Sign; or any contact which is a combination of the contacts mentioned above in this sentence.
Additional explanation to the definition of Contact: The contact described above may be deemed to be a Contact if nobody from two Same Contact Participants has Contact Details of the each other available. A situation where one of the Same Contact Participants may be able to get Contact Details of the other Same Contact Participant by approaching such other Same Contact Participant or approaching somebody else, who has Contact Details of the other Same Contact Participant available without using any invention described in present application, wherein such somebody is not a mutual acquaintance for both of the Same Contact Participants, may be regarded in this application as if the Contact Details of the other Same Contact Participant are unavailable, hi some embodiments Contact Details may be deemed to be available if an individual has the ability to get such Contact Details by the regular means (without using Interpersonal Contact System or any other invention described in the present application)) within an average amount of time for the finding the Contact Details without personally approaching the Same Contact Participant or a person who has Contact Details of the Same Contact Participant available. Theoretically one who met somebody can look into existing social networks, such as Facebook, Friendster, My Space, Classmates, etc. and by checking a lot of profiles with and without photos, using information e.g. about proper gender and age, may finally find the person this individual met. This described situation may be regarded as "Contact Details are unavailable", because the time and means spent for this will be in most cases much more then in the situation when the Contact Details are available in common sense. This would be a situation that requires more than an average amount of time. hi some embodiments if person who uses some device, percepts in any way, using such device, the other individual or any symbol or picture, which represents such other individual, and such person is able to communicate with such individual via the same mentioned device, then such perception may not be regarded as Contact in this application.
Any communication regarded as a Contact does not necessarily require that Contact Participants perceive each other simultaneously.
In some situations it is possible for at least two individuals to perceive each other, not simultaneously, e.g. one can look to another and turn out and then another look at the first person and turn out; such situations may also be regarded as Contact.
Contact Participant - may be a participant of a Contact, third party having information about the Contact and acting on behalf at least one of the Contact Participants.
Identifier - may be an Identifier, described in at least one of the a-c clauses below: a) Realized in System, identifier of at least one of the following: of the individual, of the Contact Details of individual, of data about the individual, of data about a Contact, of data about an object, of the object, of data about a System Object, of the System Object, of data about an event, or of the event, wherein such identifier is at least one of the following: based on Contact Search Information, logically linked to Contact Search Information, findable using Contact Search Information as search criteria, based on the information from which Contact Search Information is derivable. b) Realized in Interpersonal Contact System, identifier of at least one of the following: of the individual, of the Contact Details of individual, of data about the individual, of data about a Contact, of data about a System Object, of the System Object, of data about an object, of the object, of data about an event, or of the event, wherein such identifier is at least one of the following: based on Contact Search Information, logically linked to Contact Search Information, findable using Contact Search Information as search criteria, based on the information from which Contact Search Information is derivable. c) Realized in Interpersonal Contact System, identifier of at least one of the following: of the individual, of the Contact Details of the individual, of data about the individual, of data about a Contact, of data about a System Object, of the System Object, of data about an object, of the object, of data about an event, or of the event, wherein such identifier is based on at least one of the following: information about a location of Contact Participant at a time of Contact; information about a location of the Contact; information about a time of Contact; any information from which at least one of the information is derivable: information about a location of Contact Participant at a time of Contact, information about a location of the Contact, information about a time of the Contact; any combination of the information mentioned above in this sentence separately or in any combination.
Map - may be a visual representation of an area, a symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of that space.

It shall be understood that different aspects of the invention can be appreciated individually, collectively, or in combination with each other.
The invention may be aimed to resolve the unresolved problems of the prior art by creation of a System and corresponding methods, as well as the new use of the existing objects.
The basic idea may be to create a default meeting point, that can be used for a certain or any purpose. In some instances, the default meeting point may exist in virtual space, e.g., a web page or Internet resource on the Internet. The default meeting point may also exist over a phone system, mail system, or any other communication system. The default meeting point may also exist in the real world.
The invention makes possible Arranging Communication between strangers who came into contact with each other and reconnection between people who know each other without a use of valid Contact Details and saves time and resources to do it. The invention provides a System and methods for Arranging Communication between people which are based on the granting of a identifier to people, to a contact between them or to information about it, or to a System Object and logically linking such identifier to information about circumstances of such contact. Another aspect of the invention provides a certain System announcement of a default meeting point for a particular purpose or for any purpose. Using the meeting point, people can, given a mutual desire to do so, get into contact with one another in situations where it is difficult or impossible to do it by conventional means and methods. This is particularly useful when no valid contact details are available between such people. Instead, they can use said identifiers instead of the contact details. The invention suggests the introduction of a system and methods that may allow a substantial number of people to arrange communication between each other at the same time.
In some embodiments of the invention, said identifiers, along with information about circumstances of the contact, can be used for Arranging Communication between Same Contact Participants with the use of said system.
Some aspects of the invention may be directed to post-encounter (or post-Contact) follow up between Contact Participants. The invention may provide a participant or Contact Participant matching system. Contact Participants may be able to Arrange Communications or otherwise match up with participants of the same Contact. Some aspects of the invention may also be applied to situations where a Contact or other encounter is unidirectional - e.g., if one person saw information about another person on a mass media broadcast. The invention may allow matching or Arranging Communications between participants, following a unidirectional type of Contact or encounter.
Such Identifiers, as well as Contact Search Information or System Markers, can be used for a) Arranging communication between Same Contact Participants b) Reconnection, including but not limited to reconnection using Map c) Crushing (e.g., exploring a personal attraction) on the Internet d) Exploring mutual attraction between people who know each other e) Tracking Crushes or other encounters on a route f) Safe communication without exposing contact details g) Discussing events people witnessed at a certain place h) Contacting a person covered by mass media or related to any specific mass media coverage i) Contacting people using their former and currently invalid contact details j) And many other purposes.

As an example, a postal address, phone number, or fax number can be announced as a contact address where people, including Same Contact Participants that want to Arrange Communication between each other can send their information in the hope that it will be found there by the people they want to contact. In such a configuration, the data can be manipulated manually, semi-automatically or fully automatically. The ability to send data into a Interpersonal Contact System by means other than the Internet is important because a substantial number of people do not use the Internet.
Accordingly, in one aspect, this invention provides a System and method for Arranging Communication between people, including Same Contact Participants, as well as different methods related to such System and method.
Another embodiment of the invention suggests using former Contact Details as Contact Search Information, meaning that an Advertiser puts such former Contact Details into a System and a Searching Individual can Arrange Communication with such Advertiser if the Searching Individual enters such former Contact Details into the System.
Some of the embodiments described above contain means enabling an Advertiser to store the Advertiser's Contact Details in the Interpersonal Contact System and associate it with the information inputted by the Advertiser. Thus, a person finding such information stored by the Advertiser will get access to, and may possible use, the Contact Details of the Advertiser.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
While preferable embodiments of the invention have been shown and described herein, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that such embodiments are provided by way of example only. Numerous variations, changes, and substitutions will now occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the invention. It should be understood that various alternatives to the embodiments of the invention described herein may be employed in practicing the invention.
Applicable to any drawing: In preferable embodiments, a Interpersonal Contact System and corresponding methods could be promoted as a system and methods enabling people to do as described in the following drawing, so a substantial number of people could be aware of such functions of the Interpersonal Contact System and corresponding methods.
The detailed description of the embodiments is given below just for illustration purposes and contains a non limiting, non exhaustive description that can not be used to limit scope of the invention described in the claims.
Many embodiments of the invention relate to the announcement of particular Internet site as a default meeting point people can use for any or particular purposes.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, an Advertiser may store data about the Advertiser's location at the time of a Contact in a database linked to such Internet site. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, an Advertiser may store in such database at least one of the following: data about the location and time of the Contact, or data about the location of one of the Same Contact Participants at the time of Contact. Any other Contact Search Information can also be stored by Advertiser. After storing information mentioned above, the Advertiser may automatically reserve a new type of personal contact address which may be based on such stored information. Using the new personal contact address and knowing a default meeting point (e.g., preferably on the Internet), an interested person (e.g., a Same Contact Participant) can Arrange Communication with the Advertiser for any purpose the wherein disclosure of Contact Details by Same Contact Participants may not be necessary and may be made by the Advertiser or Searching Individual at their sole discretion. hi accordance with one aspect of the present invention, Advertiser may store data about Advertiser's location in time of any Contact in the database linked to such internet site, hi accordance with another aspect of the present invention, Advertiser may store in such database at least one of the following: data about location and time of the Contact, data about a location of the one of Same Contact Participants in time of Contact.
In some embodiments of the invention, a user may be able to interact with a Interpersonal Contact System, a System, or any Internet site through a web page. In some instances, the web page may include a computer file residing in memory which may be transmitted from a server over a network to a computer device, which can store it in memory. A computer device may receive computer readable media, which may contain instructions, logic, data, or code that may be stored in persistent or temporary memory of the computer device, or may somehow affect or initiate action by a computer device. Similarly, one or more servers may communicate with one or more computer devices across a network, and may transmit computer files residing in memory. The network, for example, can include the Internet or any network for connecting one or more clients to one or more servers.
In various embodiments, any parts of the system or any steps of the methods, as described, may be implemented using computer readable media, which may contain instructions, logic, data, or code that may be stored in persistent or temporary memory of the computer device, or may somehow affect or initiate action by a computer device.
In some embodiments, a User may access a Interpersonal Contact System, a System, or any Internet resource using a computer device via the Internet. Any discussion of access via the Internet or the Internet may apply to any other type of network, including but not limited to a wide area network or a local area network. Any communications across a network may occur wirelessly or through a wired connection. Similarly, any implementations of the system or methods discussed herein may not necessarily be limited to implementations over the Internet or any other network. Any embodiments discussed herein may also be applied to using the system over a telecommunication network, such as a phone system. Similarly, any embodiments discussed herein may be applied to any form of communication, including a mail correspondence system or a physical meeting system. In one embodiment of the invention, arranging of communication between Same Contact Participants may occur as follows:
1. A potential user (Person 1) sees or encounters a real person (Person 2) in real life, or Contacts such person in any other way.
2. If Person 1 wishes to develop a Contact (e.g., for dating purposes) with Person 2, Person 1 may use the invention as follows: a) After making a decision to Arrange Communication with Person 2, Person 1 may remotely access the Internet site mentioned above. The Internet site may provide via the Internet a graphical representation of a Map to Person 1. b) By remotely accessing the Map on the mentioned Internet site via the Internet, Person 1 may find on the Map a location where a Contact with Person 2 took place, hi some embodiments of the invention, the search for the contact can be made using a time criteria and information about features of Same Contact Participant or Contact Search Information. c) A computer program which may be serving Interpersonal Contact System, may take from a database of the mentioned Internet site, information about System Markers, related to the location requested by Person 1 and (preferably) meeting other criteria of Contact Search Information (if any). In one example, Person 1 may have entered a request to find System Markers near the Pushkin monument, Pushkinskaya Subway Station, Moscow, between 11 am and 1 pm on June 16, 2008, wherein girls seek a guy they saw at such a place and time. Data about System Markers meeting such criteria will be transferred through the Internet from Interpersonal Contact System to a computer device used by Person 1 and may be displayed to Person 1. The computer device may be utilized to find a place of the Contact on the Map using a web interface of the Internet which may be used by the Interpersonal Contact System or data from which information about location of the Contact between Person 1 and Person 2 may be easily derivable.
Any discussion herein of a computer device may apply to any network device and vice versa. For example, any discussion of a computer device may apply to a personal computer, server computer, or laptop computer; personal digital assistants (PDAs) such as a Palm-based device or Windows CE device; phones such as cellular phones; a wireless device such as a wireless email device or other device capable of communicating wirelessly with a computer network; or any other type of network device that may communicate over a network and handle electronic transactions.
3. After the place of Contact is found by Person 1, the Internet site may offer at least one of the following options to Person 1: a) If Person 1 did not find a System Marker which represents a Contact between Person 1 and Person 2, stored by Person 2, then Person 1 can create and store his or her own System Marker in on the Map, linking it to the Contact Search Information related to Contact between Person 1 and Person 2 and Person 1 's Contact Details. This data may be associated with the information stored by Person 1, and may be kept by the Interpersonal Contact System unavailable for other Users if person 1 requests it. In a preferable embodiment, the System Marker may be linked to the time and location of the Contact, and description of both Same Contact Participants. b) If Person 1 found on the Map a System Marker, which represents the place of the Contact between Person 1 and Person 2 and may be logically linked to Contact Search Information related to such Contact, then Person 1 may be enabled by the Interpersonal Contact System to realize at least one of the following options: bl) to send a message to Person 2 b2) to read the information left by Person 2 to Person 1 the without answering Person 2.
The described variant (b2) is possible if Person 2 had earlier stored a System Marker related to the Contact on the Map and information for Person 1.
The algorithm mentioned above can also be used if a location of a Same Contact Participant is stored by Advertiser instead of the location of the Contact mentioned in the above example.
In some embodiments of invention the System Marker can be in the form of a picture, e.g. photo, picture or avatar of the person who stored it, or a picture of the person whom Advertiser is trying to find; it can be a drawn picture or photo taken at the time of Contact etc.
There can be additional information stored by the Advertiser and linked to the System Marker. The additional information may be Contact Search Information. There can also be a web form to send a message to the Advertiser, (e.g., via e-mail, text message, instant messenger, or chat). Even if Person 1 found a related System Marker stored by Person 2 seeking Person
1 , Person 1 may still be enabled by the Interpersonal Contact System to store his/her own System Marker. However, if Person l's main purpose is to Arrange Communication with Person 2 the most effective way to do may be to respond to the System Marker stored by Person 2, rather then creating a new System Marker.
In one embodiment of the invention, when a Searching Individual enters a search query, at least one of the following may be displayed to the Searching Individual: an Identifier stored by an Advertiser, a System Marker stored by an Advertiser, or a System Information stored by an Advertiser. hi one embodiment of the invention, which may deal with dating strangers, a potential user (e.g., Person 1) may see or encounter a real person, or have a Contact with him or her in any other way. Person 1 may make a decision to date the stranger, and then tests (e.g., in a confidential manner) if the interest is mutual. If there is mutual interest, Person 1 may Arrange Communication with the stranger using the Interpersonal Contact System. If the interest is not mutual, in most cases, the stranger will never learn that person tried to date him, because stranger will not go to Interpersonal Contact System. Even if the stranger went to Interpersonal Contact System, the stranger most likely will not search the place and time wherein Contact with Person 1 took place and will not use the System Marker, left by Person 1. If the stranger found the System Marker stored by Person 1, the stranger does not have to use the System Marker, stored by Person 1, who had the desired to date the stranger. Thus, the probability of confusion generated by personal rejection may be reduced compared to many other dating options. As shown above, to Arrange Communication between Same Contact Participants there may be a need for active moves by both Same Contact Participants.
In one embodiment, Communication can be Arranged after an initial Contact was interrupted, hi another embodiment, Arranging Communication can be a further development of the initial Contact. For example, each of the Same Contact Participants sitting in the same restaurant or traveling by the same train can see each other, and may immediately go to the Internet site serving the Interpersonal Contact System. The Same Contact Participants may use algorithms for implementing System Markers or similar features to check that the attraction is mutual, and may proceed to communicate in real life or via the Interpersonal Contact System. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a System and method of Arranging Communication between people who do not have each other's Contact Details available or don't use such Contact Details, wherein a contact between the people took place. A location of such contact can be marked on a web map by the average user of Internet.
Fig. 1 (A) is a diagram showing an initial contact between User 1 (101) and User 2 (102). They may see each other, encounter each other, or get in contact in any other way (103). The contact may occur in real life, in virtual space, over the telephone, or in any other manner.
Fig. 1 (B) is a diagram showing a User 1 (101) using a computer device (104) to access via the Internet a Interpersonal Contact System. The Interpersonal Contact System may comprise an Internet site (105) with a web map (106), wherein User 1 (101) may create and store (107) a System Marker (108), which may be linked to the location, time and other circumstances of his/her contact with User 2 (102). User 1 may also store in the Interpersonal Contact System his/her Contact Details (109) and associate (110) the information with the System Marker.
Fig. 1 (C) is a diagram showing a User 2 (102) using another computer device (111) to access via the Internet a Interpersonal Contact System. The Interpersonal Contact System may comprise an Internet site (105) with a web map (106). User 2 (102) may find a System Marker (108) stored by User 1 (101) and may send a message (112) to User 1 using the System Marker (108) as a reference to proper Contact Details (109) through the Internet and System System's Internet site (105). User 1 may use a computer device (104) to receive the message (112) sent to User 1 (101) by User 2 (102) via the Internet and through the Interpersonal Contact System. Depending on whether the Contact Details of User 2 were contained in the message (112), User 1 has options: to respond to this message (112) to User 2 without use of the Internet (113) (e.g., by calling, texting, visiting), with the use of Internet (114) (e.g., by emailing directly, messaging, or chatting), or with the use of Internet via Interpersonal Contact System (115). User 1 may also choose not to respond. The invention described in Fig. 1 can provide technical assistance between strangers who saw each other just once. For example, it can be announced that strangers who liked each other on the street can input into Interpersonal Contact System a location and time of their Contact, as well as other circumstances of the Contact, and find each other. A User may find a System Marker in various ways. For example, User 2 may find a System Marker stored by User 1 by using a web map (106). User 2 may access the portion of the web map where the Contact took place. In some instances, User 2 may access the web interface directly and use various zoom or pan controls to narrow the location of Contact, hi other instances, User 2 may input a location of contact. User 2 may also enter a time or range of time of Contact. Various System Markers fitting the criteria may be provided to User 2. User 2 may be able to use other criteria to further narrow the results. For example, any circumstances of the contact may be included, such as type of contact, physical characteristics of either party, and so forth. Thus, a System Marker may be found without the use of a map as well. hi some embodiments, a System Marker may appear on a map. hi alternate embodiments, System Markers may appear as part of a chart, list, audio information, or any other form of display or conveyance of information to a User. For example, if a User enters location, time, and/or additional search criteria, one or more System Marker results may appear in a result list format and/or on a map.
The same algorithm as shown in Fig. 1 can be implemented to Arrange Communication between people if the information about the location of the Same Contact Participant is stored in the Interpersonal Contact System.
The same algorithm as shown in Fig. 1 can be implemented for reconnection between people who knew each other but no longer have valid Contact Details for one another. They can be suggested to use in the Interpersonal Contact System the information about circumstances of the contact between them, including but not limited to the information about the location of at least one of the such contact participants (in a preferable embodiment - of the last contact), and thus find each other as shown above, hi some instances, the time parameter may be much earlier than in dating-between-strangers scenarios and some contact details such as name can be also inputted by the Users into the Interpersonal Contact System.
The Interpersonal Contact System can be used as a universal default meeting point in the world or from any region of the world. The default meeting point may exist in virtual space. For example, the default meeting point may be accessible on the Internet, and may be accessible from all over the world. The default meeting point may allow people who knew each other to reconnect, having minimal information about each other. As an example, a child who lost his/her parents in the war time may not know his/her name and names of the parents, but he is more likely to know the place where he was found by other people and time when he was found. This place and time may be close to the location and time where he had been lost. People, separated by war to the different countries, can also experience difficulties in reconnecting, even if they have some Contact Details.
It would be reasonable to have a single default meeting point for the entire world, where people who lost each other could find one another. For example, they could indicate on a map a location and/or time when they last saw each other. Children and other people lost in war time, disasters or under any other circumstances may utilize the Interpersonal Contact System to reconnect. Finding them now may be much easier with the Interpersonal Contact System. Any individual may mark the time and/or location of the previous Contact (e.g., most recent Contact: Warsaw, 1939). The Interpersonal Contact System may be simple and easy to use.
In other embodiments of the invention, including those described in Fig. 1, a possible use can be a reconnection with a casual fellow-traveler who found a lost item and wanted to reconnect to return it. Users may input a place and time they saw each other last time and give some other details of this Contact, and the Interpersonal Contact System may help to reconnect.
Another implementation of the invention described in Fig. 1 may be exploring mutual attraction between people who know each other. If people know each other and want to change relations with each other (e.g., from friendship to more intimate relations), they may hesitate to tell each other about it. Now one of them (User 1) can go to Interpersonal Contact System and mark the place and time they last met with a System Marker (108). If the other person (e.g., User 2) feels the same (attraction, etc.), User 2 may go to the default meeting point (which may be a web site (105)) and find this marker. Now that their feelings are revealed, they can talk about it with less fear of not being liked.
In some other embodiments, the invention may be a method of communication and a System, configured for use by people who know one another's Contact Details, and intend to check if they have the desire to change relations between each other. Some examples of such relation changes may include at least one of the following: from friendship to more intimate relations , from business to more intimate relations , from colleague to more intimate relations, or any other change of relations. Such changes may include, but are not limited to, the situation when such people hesitate to ask each other about it directly or are afraid to show it for any reason (e.g., the fear that the attraction is not mutual, or that a move would be rejected). The System may be configured to check whether people have the desire to change relations between each other. An Advertiser may be enabled by the System to do at least one of the following: to store a System Marker on the Map at a location representative of Contact between two ore more individuals, or to store Contact Search Information related to the relevant System Object. The System may also be configured to check whether the same Searching Individual is enabled to access the System and if the Searching Individual finds at least one of the following: a System Marker left by Advertiser related to System Object of this Searching individual, or a Contact Search Information related to the relevant System Object, stored by such Advertiser. Such indicators may provide a signal that the Advertiser wishes to change relations with the Searching Individual. If there were more than two Contact Participants in such Contact, the Advertiser may preferably give additional System Marker information regarding whom from the Same Contact Participants he would like to change relations with. The purpose of the changing relations can be indicated in any way in such System. For example, the System may provide an Internet site where the Advertiser may indicate the type of relation change by any means known in the art. The invention may allow a Contact to result in the transmission of Contact Details, or Contact Details of any Same Contact Participants that were known before such Contact, to another Same Contact Participant. Information put into the Interpersonal Contact System can contain any Contact Details.
In some embodiments, the Interpersonal Contact System may be used to inform a Contact Participant that the Advertiser has at least one of the following: interest to have matrimonial relations with this Contact Participant, interest to have intimate relations with this Contact Participant, interest to have friendship relations with this Contact Participant, or desire to change existing relations with this Contact Participant, desire to give any additional information to this certain Contact Participant, desire to get any additional information from Contact Participant. A User can check on the existence of the facts mentioned above using the algorithm shown in Fig. 1, wherein System Marker (108) symbolizes at least one of the following: mentioned above desire or interest of Advertiser directed to the other Same Contact Participant.
In one embodiment, wherein the Interpersonal Contact System may be used for exchanging or checking information that one person likes another person, communication may also be arranged by the Interpersonal Contact System. Although communication could be arranged in any other way, people may choose to use the Interpersonal Contact System to check confidentially whether they have a mutual desire to change existing relations between them (e.g., for love affair).
Another implementation of the invention described in Fig. 1 may be for a safe communication without exposing Contact Details.
For example, person may talk to somebody and want to communicate more, but may still have doubts about giving personal contact details to the counterpart. Instead, the person may say, "Ok, see you on <name of the Interpersonal Contact System>," which may present a solution. Both contact participants know the time and the location of their meeting, as well as other circumstances of the meeting, so they may easily find each other on the Interpersonal Contact System. The Map of the Interpersonal Contact System may facilitate further communications; one contact participant could store a System Marker on the Map and another could find this System Marker at the respective place and Arrange Communication with the person who stored the System Marker. The same can be done without a Map, just using location data in any other way, and using Contact Search Information or an Identifier.
The results achievable with the use of the invention shown in Fig. 1 are also achievable without using Map, but just using location data of at least one of the following: location of the Contact, or location of the one of the Same Contact Participants at the time of the Contact, hi some of the embodiments, the mentioned information may be used together with the other Contact Search Information.
Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a system enabling people to check the existence of a mutual interest between two Same Contact Participants, wherein such contact could have taken place in an Internet resource. One of the participants may be associated with a web page of the mentioned Internet resource and can explore the identifications of visitors visited the web page and another participant may be a visitor of the web page
Fig. 2 (A) is a diagram showing a User 1 using a computer device (201) to access (204) via Internet, an Internet resource (203) associated with User 2. User 2 may have access to a computer device (202).
Fig. 2 (B) is a diagram showing an Internet resource (203) associated with User 2 notifying (205) User 2 about the visit of User 1 to the Internet resource (203) associated with User 2. Such notification may be sent automatically via the Internet and received by User 2 who uses a computer device (202) to receive it.
In the other embodiments of the invention, the information about visitors of the web page can be just stored by the Internet resource (203) or by the other System and be accessible to User 2.
Fig. 2 (C) is a diagram showing User 1 using a computer device (201) to access (207) via Internet an Internet resource (208) that may be a different resource from the Internet resource (203) associated with User 2. User 1 may store (206) a note (209) in the Interpersonal Contact System (which may include an Internet resource (208)), containing information about User 2's visit to the Internet resource (203) associated with User 2, and about User l's desire to date User 2 if User 2 feels attraction to the User 1 too.
In other embodiments of the invention, the mentioned note comprises at least an identifier of the mentioned web page visitor.
In some embodiments of the invention, functions of the Internet resource (208) and the Internet resource (203) can the fulfilled by one Internet resource. For example, an internet social network may provide such service for its users. After the visit of one user's web page by another user, both users can use the algorithm described in Fig. 2 inside one web site to explore mutual interest.
If User 2 is interested in dating User 1, User 2 may also use a computer device (202) to access via Internet an Internet resource (208), and may find (210) a note (209) stored by User 1 in the Internet resource (208), knowing circumstances of the visit of User 1 to the Internet resource (203) associated with User 2.
After the note is found by User 2, it may be a signal to User 2, that attraction is mutual. After the note is found, User 2 can contact User 1 in any possible way. For example, if the note (209) contained or was linked to Contact Details of User 1, User 2 can use (211) such Contact Details to contact User 1, use (212) the means of the Internet resource (203) to contact User 1 since User 2 knows the identification of User 1 there, or use (213) means of the Internet resource (208) if Contact Details of User 1 were stored there and associated with a note (209).
Thus, in some embodiments, the invention may be a System publicly presented as enabling people to check the existence of a mutual interest between people who have come into contact without direct impelling of any person involved to access such System. Thus, a person may make the decision to access the System without external compulsion, knowing about existence of such System and knowing that contact had occurred, wherein such contact could have taken place in at least one of the following: an Internet resource, a telecommunication network, or any other virtual environment. Such System may comprise at least one of the following means: Internet site available through the Internet, or computer device and software stored in computer readable medium.. The System may enable a user to input information related to the environment where a contact took place and at least one circumstance of such contact, and may represent such inputted information to other users, enabling at least one of the users to find such inputted information and Arrange Communication with the user who inputted such information into such system.
In some cases, the System may be separate from the resource where a contact took place. Alternatively, the System may be part of the resource where the contact took place.
In some embodiments, the Contact between Same Contact Participants may take place in some Internet site other then Interpersonal Contact System. People may use the Interpersonal Contact System to check whether they like each other by using an Identifier or Contact Search Information in such Interpersonal Contact System. In some examples, the Internet site other than the Interpersonal Contact System may be any Internet social network, wherein entries of other users may be recorded and can be tracked by the user whose page was visited, e.g. http://classmates.com.
If Bob White tracked that Alice Black visited his page, Bob can access another web site of a Interpersonal Contact System and input an Identifier or Contact Search Information. For example, Bob may enter information such as the following: I am Bob White having an account on http://classmates.com. Alice Black visited my page on May 28, 2008 on http://classmates.com. I like her and want to check if she likes me also without addressing her directly. If Alice likes Bob and knows about the Interpersonal Contact System, she can input into Interpersonal Contact System her and Bob's names, as well as an identifier (e.g., domain name of the site where the virtual contact took place - e.g., classmates.com). Optionally, she could input a date when the contact took place, and any other details that could be relevant to the Contact or Same Contact Participants. Any combination of the mentioned data may be used. In this case she may find the note inputted by Bob, that he likes her, and she can communicate with Bob using the Interpersonal Contact System or any other means (e.g., the Internet site Bob and Alice previously knew each other in, where their virtual contact took place). It is understood that instead of the real names any nicknames, screen names, and other identifiers used by people in Internet, including social networks, can be used in practicing the invention.
The Contact can occur not only in Internet, but in any other environment, including but not limited to: the telecommunication network, the telecommunication service, the wap site, or the place in virtual space. For example, Alice could just dial a wrong telephone number, talk to Bob, like his voice (and could feel the same way). They could use the Interpersonal Contact System to check the existence of a mutual attraction, as well to reconnect, and for any other purpose.
Crushes (or sympathy or attraction) between internet users can be checked by the users without the notification of a first user that another user visited the first user's associated Internet resource. Users may just see each other in a social network or other Internet resource and input their identifiers into the Interpersonal Contact System, together with the identifier of the related Internet resource, which they both use.
Fig. 3 is a diagram showing a system of Arranging Communication related to an Internet resource.

Any of the embodiments of the invention described in the present application described as being publicly presented may be able to perform functions described in any of the claims included herein, or alternatively, with any of the other systems or methods herein.
Furthermore, in the embodiments for any of the inventions described in the present application that are described as being publicly presented, it shall be understood that any of the performed functions described the claims are also included herein, and may be promoted to the public as a tool to arrange communication using such functions. - Arrange Communication
As a result of the invention, in some implementations, people may Arrange Communication between each other in most cases with less effort, than with prior techniques for arranging communications.
It is understood, that if any System enables arranging communication using any data, from which the Contact Search Information may be derivable, while using at least some of the same means that a Interpersonal Contact System uses, such System may be deemed to be a Interpersonal Contact System.
While in various embodiments, a communication between two individuals is provided, it may be understood by one of ordinary skill in this art that arranging communication between more than two individuals is also possible. Thus, any discussion herein may also be applied to arranging communication between three individuals, four individuals, five individuals, ten individuals, or any number of individuals greater than one.
In some alternate embodiments, any discussion relating to communication between individuals may also be applied to the situation with one individual - for example an individual may arrange communications with himself or herself to confirm that certain information provided relates to that individual. For example, an individual may store a System Marker in a system, with circumstances relating to an event at a particular time and location, and the individual may later search for that System Marker and/or arrange communications to get information about the event that the individual may have forgotten, and to confirm that is the event the individual encountered.
The invention may be directed to Arranging Communication between people who mutually want it. In some instances, at the same time, there are no guarantees, that other people can not find System Marker and contact Advertiser who stored it. In some embodiments, steps may be taken to increase confidentiality - e.g., a person who finds a System Marker may not directly contact the Advertiser, but may leave a note on the System that the Advertiser may view when the Advertiser checks the system, and which the Advertiser may or may not choose to respond to.
Thus, varying degrees of intrusiveness or inobtrusiveness may be provided. In some instances, an Advertiser may be able to specify the degree to which a searcher may be able to Arrange Communications with the Advertiser.
It is understood that prior existing systems are not currently being publicly presented as able to provide the functions described for the variety of users described.
Furthermore, pre-existing systems are not used by a variety of users for the purposes described in this application. It means that public presentation of some system may be able to fulfill functions of the present invention, and in some situations may also be an important part of some of the inventions.
- Same Contact Participants
It is understood that in most cases Same Contact Participants themselves will be inputting and receiving information into and from the Interpersonal Contact System, but there are no obstacles against any third party inputting and receiving such information, including Contact Search Information, System Markers, Identifiers etc. For example, an individual, entity, or organization may input and/or receive information through the Interpersonal Contact System on the behalf of an individual who may be a Same Contact Participant, or in relation to a particular event, occurrence, or Contact.
It is understood that any User can be a Searching Individual and (as a rule) if he did not find System Marker or other System Object created by the other Same Contact Participant, such Searching Individual can become an Advertiser.
It is understood that actions in System connected with the Interpersonal Contact System, or that are synchronized with the Interpersonal Contact System, may be deemed to be actions in the Interpersonal Contact System.
And otherwise, if actions in the Interpersonal Contact System trigger any actions in another System, connected with the Interpersonal Contact System, the actions in the other System may be deemed to be made in the Interpersonal Contact System.
In another embodiment of the invention, the system may provide an option of protection of the personal Contact Details. When the function to protect personal Contact Details is on, none of the Users will get access to the Contact Details of an Advertiser until the Advertiser authorizes access of Advertiser's Contact Details. An additional option of the security function may be to allow a Searching Individual not to leave any data visible for all users, but to contact Advertiser directly when a relevant System Marker is found.
In one embodiments, the invention may be a system and method of communication, configured for the Same Contact Participants, wherein at least one of such Same Contact Participants does not want to disclose his/her Contact Details to another Same Contact Participant, but wishes to communicate further with such Same Contact
Participant without disclosing his/her Contact Details, hi order to do so, one of Same Contact Participants, which may be an Advertiser, could do at least one of the following: store a System Marker on the Map in Interpersonal Contact System at a location representative for relevant System Object, or store Contact Search Information related to the relevant System Object. To Arrange Communication with such an Advertiser, the Searching Individual could access the Interpersonal Contact System and do at least one of the following: find a System Marker left by Advertiser related to a relevant System Object, find Contact Search Information left by Advertiser related to a relevant System Object. A Searching Individual may be able to Arrange Communication with the Advertiser, using such at least one of the following: System Marker, or Contact Search Information as an Identifier of the relevant Same Contact Participant.
In some embodiments, Arrange Communication does not mean getting access to any of the Contact Details, besides identification of User in Interpersonal Contact System, hi some embodiments of this invention, Same Contact Participants could know each other beforehand, but at the time of Contact such Contact Details may not be enough to enable communications, and at least one of such Same Contact Participants may want to preserve his/her full Contact Details in secret, while still wanting to communicate.
In some other embodiments of the invention, the system may enable: person who stored any information in the Interpersonal Contact System to input contact details of such person, to store contact details in a database of the user's profile, and to associate inputted contact details with an inputted Identifier.
In some of the embodiments of invention, Contact Details of the Same Contact Participant are not available to other Users, but may be used by the Interpersonal Contact System to Arrange Communication between Advertiser and other User who found information linked to the said Contact Details in the Interpersonal Contact System without disclosing the Contact Details of Advertiser to other Users besides Identifier of the Advertiser.
This is made to keep such contact details of user confidential from all other users, until user whose Contact Details are stored decides to disclose it to any user or users.
Thus in different variations of the embodiments, communication between Contact Participants may be arranged in the one of the following ways: with disclosing of Contact Details if disclosing Contact Participant wishes to do so, without disclosing Contact
Details if disclosing Contact Participant wishes not to disclose such Contact Details besides at least one of the following: identification of Contact Participant in System seen by other Users in Interpersonal Contact System, or any information stored by the Advertiser into Interpersonal Contact System for disclosure to other Users.
Some inventions described in present application can be realized as firmware and can be realized using software, as known in the art.
A. People between whom communication is arranged
In one of the embodiments, people using Interpersonal Contact System are the Same Contact Participants, who did not say a word to each other or exchanged just a few words, and do not know each others names.
In one of the embodiments, Contact Details of the Same Contact Participant are unavailable to each other or people just do not want to disclose such Contact Details.
B. Arranging Communication between people related to media coverage
In some of invention's embodiments, invention suggests that Contact is getting information about any other person from mass media or in person.
In some of invention's embodiments, invention described in any claim of this application suggests that Contact is getting information about any object from mass media or in person, and Same Contact Participants are the persons who also got this information or are interested in the related topic. For example, if the mass media broadcast information about a particular topic, event, or person, Same Contact Participants may have viewed this broadcast and may be interested in the broadcast content.
Thus, in some embodiments of the present invention, just one way contact can occur, wherein such contact can be indirect. Such contact may be unidirectional (e.g., only the viewers may have contact with information about a person through the mass media, while the person whose information is broadcast through the mass media may not have contact with the viewers).
Example 1
A person may be shown on TV or some digital mass media, or the person may be spoken about in radio program or newspaper etc. If such person wants to be easily contacted by people who learned about or received information about such person, such person can store corresponding System Search Information related to the certain media coverage or reportage into the Interpersonal Contact System. Accordingly, the Contact Search Information can be easily found by any person interested to exchange information with such person.
Some examples of Contact Search Information that may relate to digital mass media may include the person's name, the means of broadcast, the time and/or channel of broadcast, the topic covered by the broadcast, and so forth.
Example 2
A person may be shown on CNN news who wants to be contacted by people who saw this person for any purpose. For example, the person may be lonely, or wants to date and to speak with people who happened to like this person watching him or her in the news. Or, people may have some opinion they want to share with the person, or the person called to some action but doubts that everybody was able to obtain any or all of such person's contact details or information needed etc. hi some implementations, people may know that default meeting point is a Interpersonal Contact System. Thus, people may be able to arrange communications with such person. For example, they could just enter information, for example the following: I saw this person in CNN news in < date>. If the person shown on CNN had already made a relevant note in the Interpersonal Contact System people will easily find such note in the Interpersonal Contact System using standard searching tools, e.g. keyword search related to the circumstances of the contact, e.g. in the reportage about the soccer competition a particular fan was quickly shown, hi this case, they can input a date of the competition, channel they saw it and describe whom they saw, inputting any further information, they can search using time and name of the media criteria, etc. If the fan wants to be contacted, the fan may find this information in the Interpersonal Contact System, or the fan may create a note in the Interpersonal Contact System in advance to be able to exchange information.
Very often, mass media may cut contact details of the people, businesses or organizations covered in these mass media to avoid making free advertisements for such people, businesses or organizations or for any other reasons. Using the Interpersonal Contact System, such people and organizations covered in any mass media can become easily reachable for the people who want to reach them. The algorithm may be the same as described for the person shown on CNN above. Other people having similar offerings as one covered in mass media or wanting to share any other information regarding related issue can also use Interpersonal Contact System to arrange communication with all who want to be contacted via interpersonal Contact System regarding this and related issues.
Mass media name is understood as a brand name of the mass media, name of the program, trade mark of the mass media, type of the mass media, e.g. TV, radio, web site etc.
Mass media coverage can be a reportage, broadcast, program, Internet broadcasting, Internet site message, newspaper, radio, etc. Person related to certain mass media coverage is understood as person, who was covered by any mass media coverage or person who is interested in any of the topics related to the topic covered by this mass media coverage or person related to the organization or sphere related to information contained in the certain media coverage.
Example 3
A person was covered in some web site, which does not allow such person be contacted back by such web site visitors. If the person wants to be contacted, this person can input the link of the web site this person was covered in into Interpersonal Contact System. Everybody who wants contact this person can find the reference to this link in the Interpersonal Contact System and may contact the person who stored this link in the Interpersonal Contact System. Person covered in many mass media and wanting to be contacted can collect in Interpersonal Contact System a range of the links and references this person was related to and became reachable by the public looking for the contact with such person.
C. How Search is Made
In some embodiments of the present invention, a search for Contact Search Information, Identifier, System Marker can be made by user just by choosing a corresponding part of the Map manually or by inputting in the search bar the enquiry: e.g. Russia, Moscow, Tverskaya 12, as an option the time criteria can be added there, e.g. Russia, Moscow, Tverskaya 12, June 16 2008 or Russia, Moscow, Tverskaya evening summer something between 2005-2007, or any other variation of the defining location and time criteria. Any form of user interface may be provided that may enable a user to specify a location and/or time. As discussed previously, a location can be specified via a geographic map, by entering a location into a field, or selecting a location from options presented. A time may be specified by entering a specific time or time range, an event associated with a time, providing a time line from which a user may be able to select relevant times, or providing several time options that a user may select.
One of the variations the invention can include a System, wherein all functions of Interpersonal Contact System are performed manually without use of computer. For example, a Contact Participant may transfer to such system Contact Search Information by at least one of the following means: fax, radio, phone, regular mail, certified mail, sms, mms, wherein Contact Search Information may be processed and inputted into such system manually by the individuals serving such system, or by automated or semi- automated systems. In this case System need not be any Computer System, but rather may include a combination of organizational and technical means, wherein all functions of the System may perform manually without use of the computer.
In some embodiments it is possible to use search means of the electronic Map inside the System, which may preferably be a web site. Any other search means can be used as well, e.g. the paper catalogue can be made and constantly updated manually when any request to find some Same Contact Participant is made, the findable notice can be made.
In some of the embodiments of invention, Contact Search Information may be processed and inputted into Interpersonal Contact System by at least one of the following means: manually by individual serving Interpersonal Contact System, automatically by the special System, or by combined means described in this sentence.
In some other embodiments of the invention, Identifier and (or) Contact Search Information may be a criteria of the search and a parameter that is used for indexing or identification of the System Objects or other related information. In some of the invention's embodiments, time may be a criteria of the search and a parameter that may be used for indexing or identification of the System Objects or other related information. In some instances, time may be at least one of the following: a time of the start of the corresponding process, a time of the end of the corresponding process, time during the time of the corresponding process, a period of the time when corresponding process took place, a period of the time during which a certain Contact Participant had been at a certain location, information about the time, or information about at least one of the following: second; minute; hour; part of day (a.m. or p.m.); period between specified time; date; month; quarter; season; year; decade; period of time; word describing anything of the described in this sentence; symbol presenting anything of the described in this sentence; or information about anything of the described in this sentence.
In some of the invention's embodiments, after getting said Identifier from the Contact Participant, the Interpersonal Contact System may present to the Searching Individual information about at least one of the following: one or several or more Contacts that can be logically linked to related Identifier entered as search request, one or several or more Advertisers that can be logically linked to the related Identifier entered as search request, information stored by one or several or more Advertisers that can be logically linked to the related Identifier contained, one or several or more System Markers that can be logically linked to the related Identifier, one or several or more System Markers that can be logically linked to the related Identifier and such System Markers are shown on the Map.
In one of the embodiments, at least one Interpersonal Contact System may enable a Searching Individual to do at least one of the following: to search the same System using an Identifier, to find the Identifier in the same System, to search the same System looking for the Identifier, to search the Map linked to the same System looking for the Identifier, find the System Marker using the Identifier.
In one embodiment of the invention, at least one of the following may be presented to the User: Identifier, System Marker, or Contact Search Information which may be adjustable by the User (e.g., time range, location range, gender of the Advertiser). So the search request of the User can look like the following: girl seeking boy she saw in Pushkinskaya Station, Moscow about 6 p.m. October 1, 2008. After getting such a request, Interpersonal Contact System may show to the Searching Individual only System Markers that satisfy these criteria or are logically close to it. Further circumstances of the Contact, e.g. information about appearance of the Same Contact Participants, description of the actions any of them were doing at time of Contact, items they had, car they were driving, etc. can also be stored by Advertiser and found by Searching Individual. Such information may be used by Searching Individual to explore if a note such information relates to is linked to the Contact that the Searching Individual participated in. One embodiments of the invention supposes using an electronic map, where visitor can mark with a System Marker a location of his/her Contact with the Same Contact Participant or a location from which the location of his/her Contact with the Same Contact Participant is easily derivable.
Another embodiment allows adding to at least one to the following: System or Map used by Interpersonal Contact System at least one of the following parameters: time of the Contact, or at least one of the other Contact Search Information. Such additional information may enhance search of the relevant System Markers and Contact Search Information in the Interpersonal Contact System. Example: By using information about time and location of the Contact, a Same Contact Participant will more easily find a System Marker, set by the other Same Contact Participant.
In another embodiment of the invention, when searching on the Map all System Markers, meeting certain criteria can be presented to the User. Example of search query: Find all System Markers near Pushkin monument, Pushkinskaya Subway Station, Moscow, June, 16, 2008 between 11 am and 1 pm, wherein girls seek guy they saw in such place and time. In another embodiments of the invention, the range of the search can be adjustable e.g., User can request to show all System Markers in same place June, 16 2008 +/- one week, or all System Markers in the radius of 1 km from the defined point etc.
In another of the embodiment of the present invention, just a place of the Contact can be marked and no searches are offered using time criteria.
In some other embodiments, the invention may be a Map enabling a User to store a System Marker and find the System Marker at a location representative of related System Object.
In some other embodiments, the invention may be a Interpersonal Contact System which may be connected to a system for displaying a map, and an Identifier may be stored by putting a System Marker on the Map.
In some other embodiments, the invention may be realized as an Internet site with a Map available through the Internet, computer device and software stored in computer readable medium serving such Internet Site, system of collection, storing, search and representation of at least one of the following: Contact Search Information, System Marker, or Identifier comprising of the means enabling an Advertiser to store at least one of the following: Contact Search Information, System Marker, or Identifier into such Internet site. The means enabling an Advertiser to store information may represent at least one of the following: Contact Search Information, System Marker, or Identifier on the
Map at a representative place, as well as means enabling the other User to find such of at least one of the following: Contact Search Information, System Marker, or Identifier and Arrange Communication with the Advertiser. The Internet site described can further comprise means or logic or instructions enabling User to do at least one of the following: to see the Map with the System Markers, to see the Map only with the System Markers related to a certain time defined by User, to see the Map only with the System Markers related to a certain location defined by User, to see the Map only with the System Markers related to a certain Contact Search Information inputted by User, or any combination thereof.
Some of the embodiments of invention suggest using an Identifier as a contact address of the Contact Participant in Interpersonal Contact System. In some embodiments of the invention, an Identifier may be inputted by storing a Mark or System Marker on the Map in the System. This approach may help other users find such mark on the map if it is used in Interpersonal Contact System. Thus, in some of the embodiments of invention, a person wanting to contact another person could just store such mark on the map in the Interpersonal Contact System, marking a place where a contact took place and the other person (if such person wants to contact first person) could find this mark. The system may enable the person who found the mark to contact the person who left the mark.
Some embodiments of the invention suggest getting from the Same Contact Participants a request to show a part of the Map. The invention may also provide showing to Same Contact Participants a part of the Map related to the request with at least one of the following presented on the Map: all System Markers available in Interpersonal Contact System for the shown location; System Markers related to a certain time defined by User; the System Markers related to a certain location defined by User; the System Markers related to a certain Mark inputted by Contact Participants; or any combination thereof. Such an approach may enhance navigation in the Interpersonal Contact System.
Some of the embodiments of the invention suggest using means adapted to represent to the Searching Individual at least one of the following: an Identifier, Contact Search Information, or System Marker stored by Advertiser in return to the search query.
It is understood, that the person with average skills is aware that the map can be a geographic map, scheme of the building or construction with different floors, subway scheme, scheme of the routes and roads, photo or video map shot from air plane or space ship, a hybrid schematic and photographic map, any other scheme of the objects collocation, or combinations thereof.
In one embodiment of the invention, the Interpersonal Contact System may present to Contact Participants a relevant part of the Map based on the Contact Participant location data, hi case of personal computers the location can be defined by IP address of the certain user's computer, in case of cell phones or any other mobile location aware devices applicable location aware technology is used. A Interpersonal Contact System may show a part of the Map where the relevant location is presented (most usually - any city, town or settlement). Usually more precise location data can be derived from the cell phone or any other location aware device (e.g., GPS), in such case a more exact location can be shown to the user thus he may be able to look for the System Markers on the Map or to put System Markers more conveniently.
Some of the embodiments may be configured to have a purpose and/or comprise steps of informing the certain Same Contact Participant about the fact that the Advertiser has at least one of the following: interest in having matrimonial relations with this certain Same Contact Participant, interest in having intimate relations with this certain Same Contact Participant, interest in having friendship relations with this certain Same Contact Participant, desire to change existing relations with this certain Same Contact Participant, desire to give any additional information to Same Contact Participant, desire to get any additional information from Same Contact Participant, or any other relational or informational communications. This can be used as a type of Crush checker logically using a corresponding system described above. Thus, another purpose of the said embodiments can be to check an existence of mutual interest between Users who know each other. In some instances, the mutual interest may relate to at least one of the following: interest in having matrimonial relations with this certain User, interest in having intimate relations with this certain Same Contact Participant, interest in having friendship relations with this certain User, desire to change existing relations with this certain Same Contact Participant, desire to give any additional information to User, or desire to get any additional information from Same Contact Participant.
To further enhance search of the related data in the Interpersonal Contact System, in some of the embodiments, after getting said Identifier as a search request from the Same Contact Participants, the Interpersonal Contact System may perform the following step: presenting to the Searching Individual information about at least one of the following: about one or several or more Contacts that can be logically linked to related Identifier entered as search request, about one or several or more Advertisers that can be logically linked to the related Identifier entered as search request, about information stored by one or several or more Advertisers that can be logically linked to the Identifier entered as search request, about one or several or more System Markers that can be logically linked to the Identifier entered as search request, or about one or several or more System Markers that can be logically linked to the Identifier entered as search request. Such System Markers may be shown on the Map.
D. How information is used.
For identification or indexing of the information in different embodiments of the invention, different objects can be used. For example, Contact Search Information, Identifier, or System Marker may be used, any of which can be logically linked to the information which may be helpful for arranging communication with the person who stored such Contact Search Information, Identifier or System Marker.
In some other embodiments of the invention, an Advertiser wanting to be found by the Same Contact Participant may store System Marker on the Map in the Interpersonal Contact System, which may be a web site accessible from Internet. This System Marker may be linked to the place and time of the Contact. Another Same Contact Participant wanting to arrange communication with such Advertiser could access the Map and a System Marker, stored (or left) by such Advertiser, wherein the System Marker may enable communication with such Advertiser.
In one embodiments of the invention, a System may use Contact Search Information as a contact address of the Contact Participant in Interpersonal Contact System, if the Contact Participant becomes an Advertiser and stores this Contact Search Information into the System where another Same Contact Participant can find it, using relevant Contact Search Information.
In other of the embodiments of the invention, a System may use an Identifier as a contact address of the Contact Participant in the Interpersonal Contact System, if such Contact Participant becomes an Advertiser and stores this Identifier into the System where another Same Contact Participant can find it.
In some embodiments, a System may use any information associated with the Contact Participant or Contact that the Contact Participant was a part of as a contact address of the Contact Participant in the Panted System, if the Contact Participant stored this information into the System where another Same Contact Participant could find it.
E. Inputting means
In some of the embodiments of present invention, a computer device may be used for inputting and storing data into the Interpersonal Contact System. Inputting means can be for example a computer device or any combination of its elements enough to input needed information. For example, information may be entered by any element of a computer device that allows user interaction with the device including but not limited to a keyboard, mouse, controller, trackball, pressure on a touchscreen, or verbal commands. For example, for a mobile phone with the access to Internet, the input can also be made by sms, mms, regular mail, certified mail, calling certain phone number and verbally describing the Contact Search Information, sending video file, sending audio file or any other means possible.
F. Arranging communication
Arranging a communication can be an exchange of information between Same Contact Participants, as well as one way information transmission. For example, somebody may not want another Same Contact Participant to answer, but may just want to send some message to such Same Contact Participant. In some instances, a one-way transmission of information, or a unidirectional communication, may result in a return communication.
In one embodiment of the invention, when a Searching Individual finds a System Marker stored by an Advertiser and a message to the Advertiser through the Interpersonal Contact System, the Advertiser may be notified of the message. For example, the Advertiser may get a notification or message itself to one of the telecommunication means or devices the Advertiser usually uses: e.g., e-mail, sms, fax, radio call, message inside Interpersonal Contact System, message in any Internet social network, phone by automatic phone call, etc. Thus, the Advertiser may be able to arrange an exchange of information with the User who contacted Advertiser.
In some embodiments, the Advertiser may only receive a message when a User chooses to send a message to the Advertiser. In some alternate embodiments, the Advertiser may receive messages from the Interpersonal Contact System when various actions occur, including but not limited to, updates by the Interpersonal Contact System, when a User has searched for a criteria relating to the Advertiser, when a User views a System Marker stored by the Advertiser, or when a User has created a System Marker close in location and/or time to the System Marker stored by Advertiser. hi one embodiment of the invention, the User can be requested to input his/her Contact Details to enable communication with him.
In most of the embodiments, the Communication may be Arranged due to the fact that Advertiser stored his/her Contact Details and associated it with the other information stored by the same Advertiser.
G. Storing means
Storing means for storing Search Information, Identifier, System Marker and any other information needed for the work of the Interpersonal Contact System can vary, hi one of the embodiments, it may be a computer readable storage device with a database stored in it as a computer executable program.
The stored data can be organized as a database of the user profiles, Identifiers, Contact Search Information, and System Markers can be a part of the Interpersonal Contact System, or can be stored separately and be used on demand by any means. For example, the database can be distributed along one or more computer device and/or server. Alternatively, the database may be consolidated at one place.
Any catalogue or database serving Interpersonal Contact System can be organized using different criteria. For example, a man seeking somebody may be organized separately from a woman seeking somebody. In another example, criteria can be a location based principle, e.g. all contacts that ever had place in Los Angeles, Sunset Blvd. 1010. Criteria can also be a time based principle, e.g. all contacts that had place in June, 16 2008. Or criteria can be organized using any information given either about Contact or Contact Participant, or any combination of the described and/or other methods.
Although described with reference to a particular system and implementation, the computer aspects of the present invention can be implemented in software, hardware or any combination thereof. When implemented fully or partially in software, the invention can reside, permanently or temporarily, on any machine readable memory or storage medium, including but not limited to a RAM, a ROM, a disk, an ASIC, a PROM and the like, hi addition, the invention may be implemented using circuits, without the use of software or non-electronic map or archive, wherein all information between the users and people serving such System can be exchanged in any way (Internet, phone, sms, mails etc) and be implemented also in any way (with the use of the software, without use of the software, manually etc).
The software may be executed by a PC, a larger computer, a workstation, an ASIC, a programmable machine, a computer network, or otherwise.
H. Means for transferring information
The best mode of exchanging information between Interpersonal Contact System and Users is Internet, wherein Interpersonal Contact System is an Internet site and a substantial amount of people can see a same System Marker or any other identification on the same Internet site from the different remote locations.
Any other means of transferring information can also be employed, e.g. people who can not or do not want to use Internet, can use any other means, the transferring can also be made by sms, nuns, regular mail, certified mail, calling certain phone number and verbally describing the Contact Search Information, sending video file, sending audio file or any other means possible.
Example: A person does not have access to Internet or corresponding skills. Such a person can just write and send mail to the address of a Interpersonal Contact System operator. For example, a guy seeking a girl could send the operator a mail with the following text: If some woman seeks the tall blond guy with funny t-shirt "Make love no war", in green jeans and red boots she saw in Woodstock festival August 15, 1969 in Bethel (Sullivan County), New York, drinking beer, please call me 1(323)XXXXXXX (phone number of the guy). She was blond, young in blue dress and two red Indian style plumes in her hairs.
In some of the other embodiments of invention, an Advertiser may put information into Interpersonal Contact System using a phone, by calling a certain number and verbally transferring information to be inputted into Interpersonal Contact System
Another embodiment of the invention may be the invention described in any claim of this application, wherein exchanging of information between user and Interpersonal Contact System may be made in one of the following ways: by sms, by sending sms to a certain number with information to be inputted into the Interpersonal Contact System, using a phone by calling a certain number and verbally transmitting information to be inputted into Interpersonal Contact System, putting information into Interpersonal Contact
System using mail for sending information to be inputted into Interpersonal Contact System, using any other means, besides Internet for sending information to be inputted into Interpersonal Contact System.
I. Sign
In one aspect of the invention, to initiate Arranging Communication, just a short visual contact may be enough. After the glance, both Same Contact Participants can access a Interpersonal Contact System and check if mutual attraction exists between the Same Contact Participants and can Arrange Communication with Another Same Contact Participant if such person wants it too. It is understood that glances people are making every day to dozens of other people can not all be treated as Signs, although in some instances they may be interpreted to be.

This option can be useful if Advertiser wants more confidentiality, e.g. one of the classmates (Bob) likes another classmate (Alice), but does not want disclose such feelings to any third party and even to Alice, in case Alice does not like him. For these purposes. Bob can put a System Marker at the place he met with Alice. There may have been a lot of people who met each other at this place, but to learn who is an Advertiser or who are an Advertiser and person Advertiser likes, the Searching Individual (Alice) could be required to answer a question or questions about herself and Bob if she likes him. Alice knows that she met Bob at this place at this time. For example, they may have exchanged a few words with each other or may know any circumstance that no or very few know besides them. So no third parties will be able to discover easily what people the certain System Marker relates to, besides Bob and Alice. Alice can answer such question correctly. If she knows about Interpersonal Contact System and likes Bob Alice may access the Interpersonal Contact System find the System Marker at the place they met. That may be a preliminary notification for her that Bob expressed interest to her, then she will answer right the question he asked and get the proof that this was Bob indeed who left this System Marker meaning giving her a notification that he likes her. If Alice does not like Bob she most likely will not go into Interpersonal Contact System. Even if she went there, she would probably not look for the System Marker left by Bob in the place Alice met him.
