Description

Matching service provision system and method {SYSTEM TO PROVIDE MATCHING SERVICE AND METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a matching service providing system and method for arranging a meeting with a counterpart based on a user's location and ideal type information and protecting a privacy between the user and the counterpart using a temporary number.

The "mobile matching service" refers to a service that allows a user to find a counterpart to meet and have a meeting using his terminal.

The mobile matching service inputs a condition of the ideal type desired by the user, and transmits a list of members registered in the service that meets the ideal type condition to the user's terminal. Thereafter, the user may select a desired counterpart from the received list to contact the user.

However, since a general "mobile matching service" transmits a list of members identified based on the ideal type input received from the user to the user, the list includes a member that is far from actually meeting the user. Therefore, the user is inconvenient to separately grasp the location of the member.

In addition, when the user and the counterpart communicate with each other, a terminal number of the actual user and the counterpart may be exposed, thereby causing privacy violations.

The technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a matching service providing system and method for arranging meeting with the other party based on the user's location and ideal type information, and protecting the privacy between the user and the other party using the temporary number. .

According to one aspect of the present invention, a matching service providing method is provided.

The method of providing a matching service may include: (a) receiving a request for a matching service from a user's terminal by a matching service providing system, and extracting a proximity user that is a user of a terminal located near the terminal of the user; extracting a proximity user having profile information matching the ideal information of the user based on the profile information of the proximity user and the ideal information of the user; And (c) transmitting, to the terminal of the user, a list of video greetings of the proximity user having profile information matching the ideal information of the user.

According to another feature of the invention, there is provided a matching service providing system.

The matching service providing system includes: a location reference processor extracting a proximity user that is a user of a terminal located in proximity to a terminal of a user requesting a matching service; An ideal match criterion processor for extracting a proximity user having profile information matching the ideal match information of the user based on the profile information of the proximity user and the ideal match information of the user; A list preparation unit for creating a list of video greetings of a proximity user having profile information matching the ideal information of the user; And upon receiving a request for a matching service from the user's terminal, control the location reference processor to extract the proximity user, and control the ideal type reference processor to extract the proximity user having profile information matching the ideal type of the user. And a controller for transmitting a video greeting list created by the list creator to a terminal of the user.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a matching service providing system and method for arranging a meeting with a counterpart based on a user's location and ideal type information and protecting a privacy between the user and the counterpart using a temporary number.
