Inferential user matching system

Abstract:

An inferential user matching system can determine a mutual interest between a first user and a second user based on inferred trends corresponding to a set of usage behaviors by a plurality of users utilizing the system. Based on determining the mutual interest, the system can transmit, over one or more networks, a representation of the first and/or second user to the portable computing device of other user and monitor the first and/or second user to detect an expression of interest. Based on detecting the expression of interest, the system can transmit an expression of interest indication to a portable device(s) of the first and/or second user.
