Abstract:
A system for issuing a notification alert on user's mobile device whenever another user is within a short distance or in the same general area, as further detailed below. Users may or may not have any previous knowledge of each other in order for both to receive the proximity alert. Users who don't have any previous knowledge of each other (“non-friends”) are able to specify a number of characteristics (age, gender, etc.) and be both alerted only when they are in proximity and mutually satisfy their respective preferences. Following the alert, the system also enables users to exchange any number of anonymous messages that do not contain users' contact information.
