RECOGNITION AND CONTEXTUALIZATION OF INTERACTIONS IN AN ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORK

摘要

A method of promoting social relationships initiated during online activities includes identifying a first user using a first game application in data communication with a network and a second user using a second game application in data communication with the network, determining when the first user and the second user are actively engaged with one another during a shared social event in the first game application and the second game application, assigning a value to the shared social event in the interactive game application, and awarding the value of the shared social event in the interactive game application to a relationship profile between the first user and second user.
