AUTOMATED COMPATIBILITY MATCHING SYSTEM FOR DOGS AND DOG OWNERS

摘要

An infrastructure and methodologies to support automated matching of compatible dogs based on geo-proximity and dog profile/preference information. In various embodiments, a dog owner establishes a profile for a first dog by entering profile/preference information via a downloadable application. Such information may include the dog's physical characteristics, compatibility information relating to interaction with other dogs, geolocation information, etc. This information, as well as like information relating to other dogs, may be stored in a profile database maintained by a cloud/remote server. The server proactively identifies compatible dogs by applying configurable matching criteria to the profile database. Proximity thresholds may be utilized to limit matches based on real-time or stored geolocation information. Upon detecting a match between the first dog and a second dog, an automated suggested match notification is communicated to a mobile device associated with the first dog. Options for interacting with the second dog may also be presented.
