Automated Tiered Event Display System for Dynamic Interest Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current social networking sites often provide uninformative suggestions as users' interests are not accurately identified, leading to irrelevant event recommendations, and existing location-based services lack dynamic and continuously updated displays of events relevant to users' interests.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that automatically generates a digital map of events based on users' interests, using location data and event categorization to display relevant events within a specific radius and time period, without requiring user input, and updates the map dynamically as the user's location changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If location-based services provide event recommendations without accurate interest identification, then service coverage is expanded, but recommendation relevance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes user interest profiles by analyzing historical data, social connections, and user behavior patterns before event recommendations are needed. This preliminary characterization of user interests enables relevant event matching without requiring real-time user input, thus maintaining both broad service coverage and high recommendation relevance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously refines user interest profiles by incorporating feedback from user interactions with recommended events, explicit interest declarations, and behavioral patterns. This feedback mechanism ensures that interest identification becomes increasingly accurate over time, maintaining recommendation relevance while serving diverse user bases.
2Ease of operation
If the system automatically identifies user interests without user input, then user convenience is improved, but identification accuracy may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs multiple complementary methods for interest identification including analysis of social network connections, historical event attendance patterns, explicit user declarations, and behavioral data. This multi-functional approach ensures accurate interest identification while maintaining ease of operation, as users can benefit from automated identification without needing to provide extensive input.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to self-correct and refine their interest profiles by providing simple mechanisms for explicit interest declaration and event feedback. Users can actively shape their own interest identification without requiring system intervention, combining automated convenience with user-controlled accuracy.
3Loss of information
If the system provides comprehensive event data processing and dynamic map updates, then information completeness is improved, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides event data processing into distinct modular components: event data reception module, interest matching module, map generation module, and update management module. Each module handles specific aspects of the data flow independently, enabling comprehensive information processing while maintaining manageable system complexity through clear separation of concerns.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic map updates that automatically adjust content based on user location changes, event time progression, and user interaction patterns. This dynamic behavior provides complete and relevant information without requiring complex manual configuration, as the system adapts its information presentation in real-time based on changing conditions.

AI summary
Systems and methods for automatically generating a digital map that illustrates event locations specific to the interests of a user are disclosed. These events may be located within a particular radius of a location of the user and presented on a map to the user. A map of the same geographic region presented to a second user who does not share the interests of the user may be presented with different events. The identification of a user's interests may be determined based at least in part on user data obtained from a shared interest networking site. A tiered display system can be used to modify the display of particular events based, for example, on a source of the event information or the quality of visual event data.
