Constructing a database of verified individuals

Abstract

A method for constructing a database, comprises permitting a plurality of users to enter individual-associated data bits (IDBs) into a computerized system, each of the IDBs comprising at least one personal identifier relating to the user and relationship data comprising data on one or more related individuals and the nature of relationship; and processing the entered IDBs to generate an individual-identifier data set (IDS), one for each identified individual, being either one of the users or one of the related individuals and construct a database comprising IDSs of identified individuals.

         70 . A data communication method for communication between individuals via a communication network, the method being carried out by a computer system comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer readable memory and being connected to the communication network, the method comprising:
 in response to request data indicative of intended communication, via the communication network, between a first individual and a second verified individual, identifying first individual related data,   utilizing said first individual related data to determine, based on data stored in a verified database of individuals, whether the first individual is classified as a verified individual according to a reliability measure, and   based on whether or not the first individual is classified as a verified one, generating data to manage said request data with regard to said intended communication.   
     
     
         71 . A method according to  claim 70 , wherein said request data is indicative of the intention of the first individual to communicate with the second individual. 
     
     
         72 . A method according to  claim 70 , wherein said request data is indicative of the intention of the second individual to communicate with the first individual. 
     
     
         73 . A method according to  claim 70 , wherein said managing of said request data with regard to said intended communication comprises, upon determining that the first individual is classified as the verified individual according to the reliability measure, allowing communication between the first and second individuals via the communication network. 
     
     
         74 . A method according to  claim 73 , wherein said managing of said request data with regard to said intended communication further comprises generation of a notification message to at least the second individual that the communication between the first and second individuals is allowed. 
     
     
         75 . A method according to  claim 74 , wherein said notification message comprises data indicative of the reliability measure of the first individual. 
     
     
         76 . A method according to  claim 70 , further comprising, upon identifying that the first individual related data has no associated record in the verified database, analyzing the first individual related data, to determine a reliability measure of the first individual, and based on the determined reliability measure, manage a recordation procedure with regard to the verified database. 
     
     
         77 . A method according to  claim 70 , further comprising, upon identifying that the first individual related data has no associated record in the verified database, generating invitation data to the first individual inviting the first individual to provide data allowing recordation in the verified database. 
     
     
         78 . A method according to  claim 76 , wherein the determination of the reliability measure of the first individual comprises: analyzing first data, which is provided by the first individual about the first individual and about one or more other related individuals, with second data provided by one or more other verified individuals about the first individual and said one or more other related individuals, and based on a degree of match provided by the first individual and said one or more other verified individuals with regard to the same individual, determining the reliability measure to be assigned to the first individual. 
     
     
         79 . A method according to  claim 78 , wherein said managing of the recordation procedure of the first individual with regard to the verified database comprises carrying out one of the following: recording the first individual related data in the verified database together with the assigned reliability measure; allowing recordation of the first individual related data in the verified database only if the reliability measure is equal to a greater than a predetermined threshold value. 
     
     
         80 . A method according to  claim 70 , wherein said managing of said request data with regard to said intended communication comprises, upon determining that the first individual is classified as a non-verified individual according to the reliability measure, generating a corresponding notification message to at least the second individual. 
     
     
         81 . A method according to  claim 70 , wherein said notification message comprises data indicative of the reliability measure of the first individual. 
     
     
         82 . A method according to  claim 80 , wherein said notification message comprises data indicative of that the communication is prevented. 
     
     
         83 . A communication management system for managing communication between individuals via a communication network, the system comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer readable memory and being connected to the communication network, wherein said processor is configured to be responsive to request data received via the communication network, to carry out the method of  claim 70 . 
     
     
         84 . A communication management system for managing communication between individuals via a communication network, the system comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer readable memory and being connected to the communication network, wherein said processor is configured and operable to carry out the following:
 in response to request data indicative of intended communication, via the communication network, between a first individual and a second verified individual, identifying first individual related data,   utilizing said first individual related data to determine, based on data stored in a verified database of individuals, whether the first individual is classified as a verified individual according to a reliability measure, and   
       based on whether or not the first individual is classified as a verified one, generating data to manage said request data with regard to said intended communication. 
     
     
         85 . A system according to  claim 84 , wherein said processor is configured and operable to carry out the following: upon identifying that the first individual related data has no associated record in the verified database, analyzing the first individual related data, to determine a reliability measure of the first individual, and based on the determined reliability measure, manage a recordation procedure with regard to the verified database. 
     
     
         86 . A system according to  claim 84 , wherein said processor is further configured and operable to carry out the following: upon identifying that the first individual related data has no associated record in the verified database, generating invitation data to the first individual inviting the first individual to provide data allowing recordation in the verified database. 
     
     
         87 . A system according to  claim 84 , wherein said processor is configured and operable to determine the reliability measure of the first individual by carrying out the following: analyzing first data, which is provided by the first individual about the first individual and about one or more other related individuals, with second data provided by one or more other verified individuals about the first individual and said one or more other related individuals, and based on a degree of match provided by the first individual and said one or more other verified individuals with regard to the same individual, determining the reliability measure to be assigned to the first individual. 
     
     
         88 . A system according to  claim 87 , wherein said processor is configured and operable to perform said managing of the recordation procedure of the first individual with regard to the verified database by carrying out one of the following: recording the first individual related data in the verified database together with the assigned reliability measure; allowing recordation of the first individual related data in the verified database only if the reliability measure is equal to a greater than a predetermined threshold value.
