Server for Automatic Grouping Based on Location Information

This patent relates to a server that provides an automatic user grouping function based on location information. The server receives GPS signals from the first and second mobile phones and calculates the distance between users considering user information and restriction information. If within a predetermined distance, it enables information sharing, allowing users to easily connect with people who have common hobbies and interests. This improves the convenience of social networking services.

• Calculation of distance between users based on GPS signals
• Changing the weighting of information based on evaluation information
• Automatic control of the state of information sharing

In conventional social networking services, users had to manually search for friends, which took time and effort to connect with people who had common hobbies and interests. Moreover, there was often a lack of privacy in information sharing, which made users uncomfortable using the service. Additionally, it was difficult to control information sharing considering the distance between users, preventing efficient information sharing.

In this patent, the server receives GPS signals from the first and second mobile phones and calculates the distance between users based on user information and restriction information. By enabling information sharing within a predetermined distance, it eliminates the need for users to manually search for friends. Additionally, by changing the weighting of user information based on evaluation information from a third mobile phone, it automatically changes the state of information sharing, achieving efficient information sharing while protecting privacy.

• Technology that can calculate the distance between users
• Technology that can automatically change the state of information sharing
• Technology that allows information sharing while protecting privacy
