Mobile Event Matching Interface for Faster Date Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current dating apps require a long lead time to convert initial user contacts into agreed-upon dates due to the need for user matching, communication, and potential disinterest or lack of follow-through, leading to time-consuming and laborious efforts.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allows users to create events with predefined parameters, enabling interested users to indicate interest, allowing the creator to initiate communication while preventing reciprocal communication, and selecting a user to attend the event, thereby streamlining the process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users engage in traditional matching and communication processes, then successful dates can be arranged, but the lead time and effort required are excessively long
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically matching users based on compatibility algorithms before users manually initiate communication. The system pre-arranges potential date opportunities by analyzing user profiles, preferences, and availability, thereby reducing the time users spend on initial matching and communication while maintaining successful date arrangement rates.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users manage multiple simultaneous conversations to increase dating opportunities, then more potential dates may be found, but the effort and time management become laborious
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service by automatically managing the matching and initial communication coordination between users. The algorithm autonomously identifies compatible matches, initiates contact on behalf of users, and manages scheduling, thereby maintaining high adaptability and versatility in finding dating opportunities while eliminating the laborious effort of manually managing multiple conversations.
3Reliability
If users require mutual matching and communication before arranging dates, then compatibility can be assessed, but the process becomes time-consuming and many matches do not result in dates
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameters of the matching process by using comprehensive compatibility algorithms that analyze multiple user attributes simultaneously (preferences, availability, compatibility metrics) rather than relying on sequential manual communication. This allows for accurate compatibility assessment while dramatically increasing the productivity of converting matches to actual dates by pre-identifying high-probability matches.

AI summary
Attending of events between users in a computer network is facilitated. Event parameters defining an event are received from a first user of the network. The event parameters include a location of the event and a date of the event. The event parameters are allowed to be viewed by each of multiple second users in the network. An indication of interest in the event is received from each of one or more of the second users. The first user is enabled to initiate communication with each of the one or more second users interested in the event while the one or more second users interested in the event are prevented from initiating communication with the first user. A selection, from among the one or more second users interested in the event, of a second user with whom the first user wishes to attend the event is received from the first user. A message is transmitted to the selected second user indicating that they have been selected to attend the event with the first user.
