Anonymous Matchmaking via Segmented Identity Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in establishing or reestablishing personal connections due to fear of rejection and the risk of repercussions, especially when trying to reconnect with past relationships, as traditional social media platforms often result in unwanted connections and lack secure verification mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for secure and anonymous verification of user interest, using authentication of identification parameters through a blockchain network, allowing users to compare subsets of identification parameters to determine compatibility and notify interested parties without revealing their initial interest, thereby reducing fear of rejection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional social media platforms are used to find new relationships, then users can access a large number of potential connections, but users face fear of rejection and risk of repercussions that prevent them from establishing desired connections
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification system that acts as a mediator between users seeking to reconnect. The system verifies identities through multiple parameters (name, date of birth, location, etc.) and facilitates anonymous communication, allowing users to express interest without directly revealing their identity to the other party. This intermediary mechanism reduces fear of rejection by providing a protective layer that shields users from immediate social consequences.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates verified copies or representations of user identities through authentication parameters stored in the verification database. Instead of users directly exposing their real identities, the system uses verified identity copies for matching and communication purposes. This allows users to interact based on authenticated information while maintaining privacy, reducing the psychological barrier of direct rejection.
2Productivity
If users directly contact potential connections on social media, then connections can be established quickly, but users risk unwanted connections and lack of secure verification
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification of user identities before facilitating connections. Multiple identification parameters are authenticated and stored in advance in a verification database. This preliminary action ensures that when users are matched, both parties have already been verified, eliminating the need for slow, manual verification processes later while maintaining high security standards.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where verification results are used to determine matching compatibility. The verification database provides feedback on whether potential connections meet predefined criteria, allowing the system to filter and prioritize matches. This feedback loop ensures rapid connection establishment only for verified, compatible pairs, maintaining both speed and reliability.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If users remain anonymous to protect their identities, then fear of rejection is reduced, but the ability to verify genuine interest and compatibility is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments user identification into multiple independent parameters (name, date of birth, location, employer, etc.) that are verified and stored separately in the database. This segmentation allows the system to verify genuine interest through multiple data points while maintaining user anonymity. The segmented parameters can be cross-referenced for compatibility matching without revealing the user's complete identity, thus reducing fear of rejection while preserving compatibility information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of interaction by using verified identification parameters as the basis for matching and communication rather than direct personal identity exposure. Users interact through verified parameter sets rather than real names and profiles, which maintains anonymity while enabling sophisticated compatibility assessment through parameter comparison and threshold evaluation.

AI summary
Systems and methods are provided for establishing personal connections between blinded secure non-random interested users. In an embodiment, at least one processor may be configured to execute instructions to perform operations comprising: receiving a first input from a first user comprising first identification parameters associated with a second user; receiving a second input from the second user comprising second identification parameters associated with the first user; determining a match based on the first and second inputs; and based on the determined match, notifying at least one of the first or second users of the determined match.
