Abstract

Steps of a method of case matching for a tutor user are implemented by a server that stores a plurality of tutee cases each including a lecturing location and a subject demand, and a tutor user registration corresponding to the tutor user and including a tutor location, a lecturing subject and a commuting distance limit. The server determines whether the tutee cases include a target tutee case of which the subject demand matches the lecturing subject and a commuting distance between the lecturing location of which and the tutor location is not greater than the commuting distance limit. When the determination is affirmative, the server generates a filtered case result indicating the target tutee case.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method of case matching for a tutor user, comprising:
providing a server that stores map information, a plurality of tutee cases, and a tutor user registration, each of the tutee cases including a lecturing location, and a subject demand, the tutor user registration corresponding to the tutor user and including a tutor location, a lecturing subject and a commuting distance limit; receiving, by the server from a tutor-side electronic device, a tutor request that corresponds to the tutor user registration for filtering the tutee cases; upon receipt of the tutor request, calculating, by the server for each of at least a portion of the tutee cases, a commuting distance between the lecturing location thereof and the tutor location with reference to the map information; determining, by the server, whether the tutee cases include a target tutee case that is one of the tutee cases whose subject demand matches the lecturing subject, and the commuting distance calculated for which is not greater than the commuting distance limit; and when the determination made above is affirmative, generating, by the server, a filtered case result that indicates the target tutee case, and transmitting, by the server, the filtered case result to the tutor-side electronic device.

2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the filtered case result further indicates a commuting expense corresponding to the target tutee case, and the generating the filtered case result includes calculating, by the server, the commuting expense with reference to the commuting distance calculated for the target tutee case, the commuting expense being positively correlated to the commuting distance calculated for the target tutee case.

3 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the filtered case result further indicates an hourly wage corresponding to the target tutee case, and the generating the filtered case result includes calculating, by the server, the hourly wage with reference to the lecturing subject.

4 . The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the server further stores a rating score corresponding to the tutor user registration, and the hourly wage is calculated with further reference to the rating score, the hourly wage being positively correlated to the rating score.

5 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the server further stores a plurality of certification image templates, the method further comprising:
receiving, by the server, a certificate image from the tutor-side electronic device; determining whether the certificate image conforms with one of the certification image templates; and incorporating the certificate image into the tutor user registration when it is determined that the certificate image conforms with one of the certification image templates

6 . A method for tutor matching for a tutee user, comprising:
providing a server that stores map information, and a plurality of tutor user registrations, each of the tutor user registrations including a tutor location, a lecturing subject and a commuting distance limit; receiving, by the server, a tutee case that includes a lecturing location and a subject demand from a tutee-side electronic device corresponding to the tutee user; receiving, by the server from the tutee-side electronic device, a tutee request that corresponds to the tutee case for filtering the tutor user registrations; upon receipt of the tutee request, calculating, by the server for each of at least a portion of the tutor user registrations, a commuting distance between the lecturing location and the tutor location thereof with reference to the map information; determining, by the server, whether the tutor user registrations include a target tutor user registration that is one of the tutor user registrations whose lecturing subject matches the subject demand, and the commuting distance calculated for which is not greater than the commuting distance limit; and when the determination made above is affirmative, generating, by the server, a filtered tutor user registration result that indicates the target tutor user registration, and transmitting, by the server, the filtered tutor user registration result to the tutee-side electronic device.

7 . The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the filtered tutor user registration result further indicates a commuting expense corresponding to the target tutor user registration, and the generating the filtered tutor user registration result includes calculating, by the server, the commuting expense with reference to the commuting distance calculated for the target tutor user registration, the commuting expense being positively correlated to the commuting distance calculated for the target tutor user registration.

8 . The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the filtered tutor user registration result further indicates an hourly wage corresponding to the target tutor user registration, and the generating the filtered tutor user registration result includes calculating the hourly wage with reference to the lecturing subject.

9 . The method as claimed in claim 8 , the server further stores a plurality of rating scores corresponding respectively to the tutor user registrations, wherein the hourly wage is calculated with further reference to one of the rating scores that corresponds to the target tutor user registration, the hourly wage being positively correlated to the one of the rating scores that corresponds to the target tutor user registration.
