Systems and methods for using social-networking accounts to identify characteristics that strangers share in common

摘要

A computer-implemented method may include facilitating registration for a service capable of determining whether strangers who come in contact with one another share one or more characteristics in common. The computer-implemented method may also include obtaining, as part of the registration for the service, permission for the service to access at least a portion of one or more social-networking accounts associated with each of the strangers. The computer-implemented method may further include determining, subsequent to the registration for the service, that the strangers registered for the service have come in contact with one another and then providing the service to the strangers in response to this determination. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

1. A computer-implemented method for using social-networking accounts to identify characteristics that strangers share in common, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
facilitating registration for a service capable of determining whether strangers who come in physical proximity to one another share one or more characteristics in common; as part of the registration for the service, obtaining permission for the service to access at least a portion of a plurality of social-networking accounts associated with each of the strangers; subsequent to the registration for the service, determining that the strangers registered for the service have come in physical proximity to one another; in response to the determination that the strangers registered for the service have come in physical proximity to one another, providing the service to the strangers by:
analyzing personal information about the strangers accessible via the social-networking accounts associated with the strangers by implementing a machine learning technique to:
divide at least a portion of the personal information;reform the portion of the personal information into informational components by identifying different nomenclatural categories that include the portion of personal information across the social-networking accounts, the different nomenclatural categories representing commensurate categories of information;treat the informational components reformed from the different nomenclatural categories as representing commensurate categories of information;determining, based on the analysis of the personal information about the strangers, that the strangers share a plurality of characteristics in common;computing, based on the analysis of the personal information about the strangers, a commonality score that represents the level of commonality between the strangers;providing characteristics information indicating that the strangers share each of the plurality of characteristics in common to one or more computing devices associated with one or more of the strangers to facilitate presentation of the characteristics information to the strangers upon coming in physical proximity to one another such that the strangers are able to view and learn each of the plurality of characteristics that the strangers share in common and the level of commonality between the strangers, wherein the characteristics information includes the commonality score that represents the level of commonality between the strangers.
