Methods and systems for social networking with autonomous mobile agents
Exemplary methods and systems are presented for social networking applications using autonomous mobile agents. Communication links are established based on geographic proximity and distance described as a domain in which resident agents are detected and identified. The communication links thus established allow platform independent communication along communication channels that are dynamically derived. Incorporation of computer machines and feature data sets (including attractiveness data) permit agent classification and inter-agent notification of classification results.
1. A method to establish a group of autonomous agents based upon location, for establishing communication and notification of classifications amongst said agents comprising the steps of:
defining a set of geometric parameters which describe a domain;
detecting and identifying a group of two or more agents as members of said domain and establishing a communication link between said agents, wherein each such agent is associated with a respective user computational device;
notifying said agents of said detected and identified group;
transmitting agent feature data associated with one or more of said agents in said group to one or more of other said agents in said group, and classifying one or more agents in said group depending on said transmitted agent feature data, wherein said agent feature data comprises attractiveness data associated with each of said one or more of said agents in said group, and wherein a metric for said attractiveness data may be formed for an individual by presenting said individual with a test set of facial images which the individual categorizes as attractive or not attractive; and
communicating said classifications to one or more of said agents in said group, wherein said step of notifying said agents of said detected and identified group comprises a notification of the presence of said one or more of said agents within said domain.
