Benefits of technology

Facilitates the growth of a mobile user community by automatically populating buddy lists, enhancing user engagement, and preventing fraudulent activities, thereby increasing revenue opportunities for service providers and improving user interaction.

Problems solved by technology

However, with most mobile messaging clients as well as internet based messaging clients, a new user is often presented with a completely empty Buddy list.
This presents a serious disincentive to a new user from becoming an active user of the messaging client, which in turn affects the growth of the community.
If at each pass a match is returned the registration is regarded as fraudulent and treated accordingly.

Embodiment Construction

[0051]The most immediate source of buddies for a mobile phone based messaging application is the phonebook or contact list of the mobile subscriber. The applicant has devised a process whereby Buddy lists are automatically populated through the comparison of the mobile numbers and phonebooks of multiple parties, in order to deduce existing relationships between various parties. This process the applicant has termed Auto Buddy Matching (ABM).

[0052]In the context of the following description, the term ‘phonebook buddy’ may be used interchangeably as the phrase ‘other contact’. The terms ‘community buddy’ and ‘one way’ buddy are used in the context of full matches and partial matches.

[0053]As shown in FIG. 1 a system 100 for Auto Matching (AM) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown mobile subscriber 101 is able to upload the contents of their mobile phonebook 102, via network 103, to server 104. The server then processes the received data to produce a buddy lis...

Abstract

A system for automatically matching a plurality of mobile subscribers includes a processor for executing commands that direct operations of the system and a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing code operable when executed with the at least one processor, a server for receiving from each mobile subscriber within the plurality of mobile subscribers a contact list, wherein the server is configured to process the contact list to produce a set of normalised contact information for each subscriber in the system, compare the set of normalized contact information of a selected subscriber with the processed normalized contact information of each subscriber in the system to identify matched entries, determine at least a match between the identified entries of the selected subscriber and each subscriber in the system, and add the matched entries in a buddy list of the selected subscriber based on the determined match.

Description

FIELD[0001]The present application relates to systems and methods for facilitating the growth of a mobile community. In particular although not exclusively the present invention relates to providing an enhanced instant messaging experience within a mobile communications network.DISCUSSION OF THE BACKGROUND ART[0002]Recent years have seen the migration of message services such as instant messaging and email to the mobile communications environment. In the standard desktop environment Instant Messaging (IM) provided real-time text based or near real-time communication between two or more participants over a network. Thus the key distinction between IM from such services as email is the perceived synchronicity of the communication between users, messaging is done in real or near real-time. Instant messages are typically logged in a local message history which closes the gap to the persistent nature of emails and facilitates quick exchange of information like URLs or document snippets (...
