Abstract

The invention relates to means enabling users to be mutually acquainted with the aide of personal devices connected to a telecommunications network. The inventive system enabling users to be mutually acquainted, comprises at least two personal communication devices, a central control device (server), a database of users and a software, said system being characterised in that it is provided with a computation module for processing and comparing at least one facial image, which is selected as a reference, with at least one facial image of the user recorded in the database of users. The invention makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the mutual acquaintances amongst the users owing to the use of the computation module for processing and comparing the images.

Description

Communication system for users to meet each other

The invention relates to means for making acquaintances of users among themselves using personal devices connected to a telecommunication network.

A known communication system for meeting users, comprising at least two transceiver personal devices, a local control device, the transceiver personal devices configured to wirelessly communicate with each other via a local control device, a central control device based on a computer, including software, an information database of users and associated with a local control device (Patent U.S. N ° 5086394, G 06 F 15/38, published 04/02/1992) (the closest analogue).

In this system, data about users of the system are entered in the form of a written application for a central control device, or by telephone through a local control device to a central control device, or directly to a computer on a central control device. Personal data, for example, can be divided into two categories. The first category includes parameters of criteria for dating, for example, ethnic

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) origin, religious affiliation, education, income, age, height, weight, bad habits, etc. The second category indicates the user's interests, lifestyle, hobbies, etc., as well as preferred characteristics of the compatible user.

In the well-known dating system, the search for profiles is carried out according to the characteristics indicated by the owner of the profile. The owner of the questionnaire cannot indicate how attractive he is for another particular user, and this leads to their low efficiency.

The problem solved by the invention is to provide users with a simple, convenient, reliable and effective means of acquaintance.

The problem is solved by the fact that the proposed communication system for meeting users between themselves, containing at least two personal communication devices, a central control device (server), a user database and software, the feature of which is the presence of a computing module that processes and comparing at least one face image selected as a reference with at least one face image of the user listed in the database users.

The technical result is to increase the efficiency of user dating through the use of

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) a computing module that performs the function of processing and comparing images.

As a result, in the proposed communication system: - the convenience, simplicity and likelihood of obtaining the desired result of dating are increased, because the user offers an image of a person (reference) that is attractive to him, and special software selects profiles for the user whose owners visually correspond (are similar) to the image proposed by the user, that is, they are attractive to him. reduced time for dating, because questionnaires are ranked according to the degree of visual correspondence (similarity) to the face image chosen by the user. Thus, the user looks from above at the most attractive profiles for him, without wasting time at the bottom of the list. The computing module is a multifunctional device known from the prior art, including, in particular, a processor using a combination of algorithms known from the prior art that provide, in particular, detection of a human face in an image, highlighting significant features of a face, comparing faces in images based on selected signs. An example implementation.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Using a personal communication device, for example, a computer connected to the Internet, the user selects an image of a person as a reference and sends a request to the server. Using the computing module, the standard is compared with images of the faces of users whose profiles are entered into the database. The result of processing the request is provided to the user in the form of a relevant list of profiles, which is generated by the computing module in the order of visual correspondence (similarity) of the persons of their owners to the standard selected by the user. The choice of the user for messaging is carried out by the user who made the request from this list formed by the computing module.
