OPEN SYSTEM FOR DYNAMICALLY GENERATING A NETWORK OF CONTACTS.

摘要

As such, the approach of the invention consists in building a networking database which is 'use-centric'. Such a system allows getting only linear reverse propagation, in respect of the propagation of a specific search, where each entity in the chain refers to a unique antecedent. In order to obtain such a linear reverse propagation, the invention provides an open system for dynamically generating a network of contacts, wherein the network is implemented as levels in a tree that is propagated incrementally as a function of each given search from a user of a level 'zero' to one or more final entities or 'leaves' unknown to the user and satisfying search criteria, propagation taking place via entities of a level '1' forming a first network of acquaintances that are known directly and/or indirectly to the user, and via one or more intermediary entities of levels 'n', unknown to the user and each having a respective network of acquaintances formed by contacts with entities of levels 'n+1', the system including a filter which is run at each incremental level to linearize the propagation of the network by removing any duplication of contacts with entities so that each entity in the chain refers to a unique antecedent.
