System and method for display of user relationships corresponding to network-enabled communications

摘要

A computer-implemented method of displaying indications of relationships of device users is provided. The method includes determining relationship strength between a first user and at least one other user wherein the relationship strength is determined based on a frequency of communication between the first user and the at least one other user. A first indication corresponding to the first user is displayed on a display of a device, and at least one other indication corresponding to the at least one other user is displayed on the display, wherein the at least one other indication is shown distanced from the first indication based on the determined relationship strength. A system for performing the method is further provided.

1. A method of displaying indications of relationships of device users, the method comprising:
providing an application enabling a monitoring agent on a first mobile computing device corresponding to a first user; monitoring communications between the first user and at least one other user via the monitoring agent on the first mobile computing device; determining by a location determining system on the first mobile computing device via the monitoring agent the geographic location of the first mobile computing device; determining the geographic location of the at least one other user; determining when the first user is located within a particular geographic distance of the at least one other user; determining relationship strength between the first user and the at least one other user wherein the relationship strength is determined based on a frequency of communication between the first user and the at least one other user and based on a frequency of the first user being located within a particular geographic distance of the at least one other user; displaying on a display of a computing device corresponding to a second user a first indication corresponding to the first user; and displaying on the display at least one other indication corresponding to the at least one other user, wherein the at least one other indication is shown distanced from the first indication based on the determined relationship strength.
