Abstract

Systems and methods for guided personal identity based actions are provided. In example embodiments, a user-specified action from a first user device of a first user is received. The user-specified action pertains to the first user and uses data of the first user when performed. The user-specified action is linked to an identifier. An indication of the identifier is received from a second user device of a second user. In response to receiving the indication of the identifier, the user-specified action linked to the identifier is identified, the data of the first user is accessed, a user interface that includes an option to perform the user-specified action using the data of the first user is generated, and the generated user interface is presented on the second user device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
hardware processing circuitry configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving a user-specified action from a first user device of a first user, the user-specified action pertaining to the first user and using data of the first user when performed;
linking the user-specified action to an identifier;
generating a QR code that visually represents the identifier, the QR code further generated to include a graphical element representing the user-specified action;
causing multiple QR codes to be stored on the first user device;
causing presentation, on the first device of the first user, of the QR code, wherein causing the presentation of the QR code comprises:
causing the QR code to be presented in response to detecting a swipe gesture along a particular direction across a display of the first user device that navigates through the multiple QR codes; and
receiving an indication of the identifier from a second user device of a second user;

in response to receiving the indication of the identifier from the second user device of the second user:
identifying the user-specified action linked to the identifier;
accessing the data of the first user;
obtaining a condition associated with the user-specified action linked to the identifier;
accessing data associated with the second user;
determining that the data associated with the second user satisfies the condition associated with the user-specified action linked to the identifier;
in response to determining that the data associated with the second user satisfies the condition associated with the user-specified action linked to the identifier, generating, using a hardware processor of a machine, a user interface that includes an option to perform the user-specified action using the data of the first user, the generating of the user interface comprising:
determining a device type of device model of the second user device;
disabling one or more options presented in the user interface to make the one or more options unavailable to the second user based on the device type or device model of the second user device; and
emphasizing a first of the options presented in the user interface over a second option of the options based on the device type or device model of the second user device;

updating a metric corresponding to the identifier; and
causing presentation of the generated user interface on the second user device; and

causing presentation, on the first device of the first user, of the metric that has been updated in response to receiving the indication of the identifier from the second user device of the second user.

2. The system of claim 1 , the operations further comprising encoding the graphical element to include an image representing the user-specified action, wherein the condition comprises a relationship between users on a social network, and wherein the data associated with the second user comprises information that indicates that the first and second users are connected on the social network.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user-specified action comprises multiple user-specified actions received from the first user device, each of the multiple user-specified actions pertains to the first user and uses the data of the first user when performed, the operations further comprising identifying the first user and the second user on a social network and forming a relationship between the first user and the second user on the social network in response to determining based on the data that the first user and the second user are not connected on the social network.

4. The system of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
accessing user data of the second user stored on the second user device;
determining a device capability to perform certain actions based on the user data of the second user;
identifying a particular user-specified action from among multiple user-specified actions according to the device capability; and
generating the user interface to include an option to perform the particular user-specified action.

5. The system of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
accessing user data of the second user stored on the second user device;
determining a preference of the second user based on an analysis of the user data of the second user, the preference being indicative of a preference to perform certain actions;
identifying a particular user-specified action from among multiple user-specified actions according to the preference of the second user; and
generating the user interface to include an option to perform the particular user-specified action.

6. The system of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
receiving a selection of the option to perform the user-specified action from the second user device;
in response to receiving the selection of the option, performing the user-specified action;
storing an indication of the selection of the option in association with the second user device and the identifier;
receiving a subsequent indication of the identifier from the second user device; and
generating the user interface, in part, according to the stored indication of the selection.

7. A method comprising:
receiving a user-specified action from a first user device of a first user, the user-specified action pertaining to the first user and using data of the first user when performed;
linking the user-specified action to an identifier;
generating a QR code that visually represents the identifier, the QR code further generated to include a graphical element representing the user-specified action;
causing multiple QR codes to be stored on the first user device;
causing presentation, on the first device of the first user, of the QR code, wherein causing the presentation of the QR code comprises:
causing the QR code to be presented in response to detecting a swipe gesture along a particular direction across a display of the first user device that navigates through the multiple QR codes; and
receiving an indication of the identifier from a second user device of a second user;

in response to receiving the indication of the identifier from the second user device of the second user:
identifying the user-specified action linked to the identifier;
accessing the data of the first user;
obtaining a condition associated with the user-specified action linked to the identifier;
accessing data associated with the second user;
determining that the data associated with the second user satisfies the condition associated with the user-specified action linked to the identifier;
in response to determining that the data associated with the second user satisfies the condition associated with the user-specified action linked to the identifier, generating, using a hardware processor of a machine, a user interface that includes an option to perform the user-specified action using the data of the first user, the generating of the user interface comprising:
determining a device type of device model of the second user device;
disabling one or more options presented in the user interface to make the one or more options unavailable to the second user based on the device type or device model of the second user device; and
emphasizing a first of the options presented in the user interface over a second option of the options based on the device type or device model of the second user device; and

updating a metric corresponding to the identifier; and
causing presentation of the generated user interface on the second user device; and

causing presentation, on the first device of the first user, of the metric that has been updated in response to receiving the indication of the identifier from the second user device of
