Universal Profile Matching Across Platforms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current matching services are limited to searching within their own platform, requiring users to register multiple times, which is costly and time-consuming, and often yield irrelevant search results, deterring users from continuing their search.
Innovation Solution
A method for profile matching that receives user profiles, determines potential matches based on preference indications, and presents them to users, allowing for dynamic updates and enhanced search results by reducing restrictive user preferences and evaluating attractiveness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users register in multiple matching services to search for matches across different platforms, then the search coverage increases, but the cost and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal matching service system that can search across multiple platforms and services through a single interface. The system aggregates profiles from different matching services and enables users to search across all of them simultaneously, eliminating the need to register separately on each platform while maintaining comprehensive search coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary matching service that acts as a mediator between users and multiple matching platforms. This intermediary system handles the complexity of multi-platform searching by providing a unified access point, allowing users to search across different services without directly interacting with each platform's registration system
2Adaptability or versatility
If users register in multiple matching services to expand search coverage, then more potential matches become available, but the operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides a universal monitoring interface that consolidates match results from multiple platforms into a single view. Users can monitor all their matching prospects across different services through one unified system, eliminating the need to log into and check each platform separately
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the monitoring functions of multiple matching services into a single integrated system. By combining the results and interfaces of various platforms into one unified monitoring mechanism, the system reduces the operational burden on users while maintaining comprehensive coverage of all potential matches
3Measurement precision
If matching services use strict user preferences and restrictions to improve match quality, then the relevance of matches improves, but the quantity of potential matches decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic matching system that adjusts the strictness of preference filtering based on the user's search context and behavior. The system can dynamically modify matching criteria to balance between match quality and quantity, allowing users to explore more potential matches while maintaining relevant results through adaptive preference application
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of preference filtering to optimize the balance between match relevance and quantity. By adjusting the weight and strictness of different preference criteria, the system can produce varying numbers of matches with different levels of relevance, allowing users to find an optimal balance between quality and quantity of potential matches

AI summary
A method for profile matching includes receiving a plurality of user profiles, each user profile comprising traits of a respective user. The method includes receiving a preference indication for a first user profile of the plurality of user profiles. The method also includes determining a potential match user profile of the plurality of user profiles based on the preference indication for the first user profile. The method also includes presenting the potential match user profile to a second user.
