Benefits of technology

[0010] A compatibility index is then calculated for the user relative to each target profile that passes through all of the trait filters. The compatibility index is computed by: 1) scoring personal characteristics and weighing the scores according to empirically derived models and user preferences to produce a combined personal characteristic score, 2) scoring the psychological data according

Problems solved by technology

However, the testing tends to be cumbersome, and such services offer very limited user control over the process.
As such, the currently available services offer users very lit

Embodiment Construction

[0019] With reference now to the figures, FIG. 1 is a pictorial representation of a network of data processing systems in which the present invention may be implemented. Network data processing system 100 is a network of computers in which the present invention may be implemented. Network data processing system 100 contains a network 102, which is the medium used to provide communications links between various devices and computers connected together within network data processing system 100. Network 102 may include connections, such as wire, wireless communication links, or fiber optic cables.

[0020] In the depicted example, a server 104 is connected to network 102 along with storage unit 106. In addition, clients 108, 110, and 112 also are connected to network 102. These clients 108, 110, and 112 may be, for example, personal computers or network computers. In the depicted example, server 104 provides data, such as boot files, operating system images, and applications to clients 1...

Abstract

A method, program and system are provided for selecting and matching personal profiles based on personal characteristics and psychological traits. The method includes creating a profile of a user based on the user's personal characteristics and answers to psychological test items, wherein the profile further includes user preferences concerning potential partners. A plurality of characteristics filters are applied to a database of target profiles, wherein each target profile passes through a given characteristic filter only if the characteristic in question in both the target profile and the user profile complies with the filter's rule. The operation of the filter may be influenced by preferences in the user profile and the target profiles. A compatibility index is calculated for the user relative to each target profile that passes through all of the trait filters. The invention then creates a match list that ranks target profiles relative to the user according to their respective compatibility index.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Technical Field [0002] The present invention relates generally to automated matching between sets of predetermined traits, and more specifically to matching people as potential life partners based on a calculated index of compatibility. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] With the increasing role of computers and the Internet in daily life, more and more people are establishing and maintaining friendships through electronic means of communication and interaction, that until recently were relatively impersonal. Even recently, the Internet has allowed for the proliferation of a multitude of dating services, which provide an inexpensive and usually confidential means for learning about or meeting people. Computer dating services provide an organized way of classifying users and quickly screening candidates for potential partner matches. The Internet has provided easier access to such computer services, and has made it easier to collect info...
