Application: Proximity-triggered delivery of people highlights (Patent ID: US20240098154A1)
The patent filed by Microsoft describes a computer-implemented method for proximity-triggered delivery of people highlights. This method involves receiving highlight requests from users, determining physical proximity between users, accessing user information, establishing relationships based on this information, and obtaining highlights based on these relationships. The system can also determine common relationships between multiple users and deliver highlights based on these relationships, ranking them based on contextual relevance and performing statistical analysis on commonalities.
The patent also includes claims for a computer-readable storage medium and a system implementing this method. The storage medium contains instructions for receiving highlight requests, determining proximity between users, accessing user information, establishing relationships, and obtaining highlights based on these relationships. The system, on the other hand, includes processors and storage media with program instructions for executing the method, determining common relationships between multiple users, and delivering highlights based on these relationships. The highlights correspond to statistically uncommon or uncommonly different commonalities between users, enhancing the user experience by providing relevant and personalized content.
