Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for building a geographic location based sharing request network. The invention generates and builds a sharing request network based on user geographic locations for efficiently and conveniently matching and connecting users to one another and third party systems. In this way, the sharing request network system may identify social events, volunteering opportunities, medical aid sharing, and transportation sharing for aging individuals. Furthermore, the system generates a knowledge sharing advice database, since aging individuals typically have professional or personal experiences. The user may be able to respond with answers or advice to questions posted by other users via the system. Additionally, the system may generate rewards based on the knowledge or advice provided in response to posted questions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A system for building a sharing request network, the system comprising:
a memory device with computer-readable program code stored thereon; a communication device; a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device and the communication device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute the computer-readable program code to:
receive authentication and acceptance from a user for entry into the sharing request network;
generate a communication link with a user device for extraction of positioning data associated with the user device, wherein the user device is associated with the user;
generate a user profile identifying user request events and a location of the user device from the positioning data;
based on the user profile, match the user to one or more additional users and third party systems for event coordination, wherein the third party systems offer products or services; and
trigger a communicable linkage between the user, the one or more additional users, and the third party systems for coordination of resource sharing, wherein matching user information is transmitted and presented to matched users over the communicable linkage.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the user profile further comprises:
transmitting a control signal to the user device causing the user device to display a data request via a graphical user interface; prompting the user for personal information and user preferences; generating a username and password associated with the user profile; linking one or more social media accounts associated with the user to the user profile; and extracting information from the personal information, the user preferences, and the one or more social media accounts to generate the user profile.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein prompting the user for personal information and user preferences further comprises:
requesting access to one or more financial accounts associated with the user; and extracting personal information, financial account information, and transaction history from the one or more financial accounts to be used for at least partially generating the user profile.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein matching the user to one or more additional users and third party systems further comprises:
determining the location of the user device based on extracted positioning data; determining one or more additional locations of one or more additional user devices associated with the one or more additional users based on additional positioning data extracted from the one or more additional user devices; and based on determining that the first location and the one or more additional locations are within a predetermined distance of each other, triggering a match between the user, the one or more additional users, and the third party systems.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the third party systems for event coordination comprise systems for transportation coordination and sharing, wherein the positioning data associated with the user device is transmitted to the third party systems for determining the location of the user and coordinating transportation.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the user profile is stored in a centralized database.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein knowledge sharing further comprises:
generating a knowledge sharing database application; receiving and storing one or more questions from users of the sharing request network in the knowledge sharing database application; directing the one or more questions to a responding user based on personal or professional skills, experience, or expertise of the responding user; and generating a reward for a responding user based on the responding user answering the one or more questions.

8 . A computer program product for building a sharing request network, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
an executable portion configured for receiving authentication and acceptance from a user for entry into the sharing request network; an executable portion configured for generating a communication link with a user device for extraction of positioning data associated with the user device, wherein the user device is associated with the user; an executable portion configured for generating a user profile identifying user request events and a location of the user device from the positioning data; an executable portion configured for matching, based on the user profile, the user to one or more additional users and third party systems for event coordination, wherein the third party systems offer products or services; and an executable portion configured for triggering a communicable linkage between the user, the one or more additional users, and the third party systems for coordination of resource sharing, wherein matching user information is transmitted and presented to matched users over the communicable linkage.

9 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein generating the user profile further comprises:
transmitting a control signal to the user device causing the user device to display a data request via a graphical user interface; prompting the user for personal information and user preferences; generating a username and password associated with the user profile; linking one or more social media accounts associated with the user to the user profile; and extracting information from the personal information, the user preferences, and the one or more social media accounts to generate the user profile.

10 . The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein prompting the user for personal information and user preferences further comprises:
requesting access to one or more financial accounts associated with the user; and extracting personal information, financial account information, and transaction history from the one or more financial accounts to be used for at least partially generating the user profile.

11 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein matching the user to one or more additional users and third party systems further comprises:
determining the location of the user device based on extracted positioning data; determining one or more additional locations of one or more additional user devices associated with the one or more additional users based on additional positioning data extracted from the one or more additional user devices; and based on determining that the first location and the one or more additional locations are within a predetermined distance of each other, trigger a match between the user, the one or more additional users, and the third party systems.

12 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the third party systems for event coordination comprise systems for transportation coordination and sharing, wherein the positioning data associated with the user device is transmitted to the third party systems for determining the location of the user and coordinating transportation.

13 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the user profile is stored in a centralized database.

14 . The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein knowledge sharing further comprises:
generating a knowledge sharing database application; receiving and storing one or more questions from users of the sharing request network in the knowledge sharing database application; directing the one or more questions to a responding user
