SOCIAL MEDIA

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a mobile application-based method for accessing people over social media which operates integrated with social media applications; creates a roadmap that extends in the form of the user he/she follows of the user of he/she follows of the user he/she follows, consists of a minimum of 2 people, including the person the user wants to reach, for the person that the user desires to reach.

Present State of the Art

It is very long and difficult to reach a user (a celebrity or a person you do not know) you want to reach on social media platforms, by means of your own connections. For example; suggest that the user with 100 connections desires to reach the target user with 100 connections only through their connections. Also assume that there are 2 users among them, and these users have 100 connections among themselves. The user who desires to reach the target has to take a look at 100 profiles in the first stage, 10,000 profiles in the second stage, and 1 ,000,000 profiles in the third stage. This is a process nearly that cannot be queried.

Application numbered US20140032659A1 relates to a system and method that enables communication between different social network users. For this reason, a user requests from the system to search for certain parameters. The system determines a set of matching user profiles and provides profile information and connection options for each of the matching user profiles. The profile information provided to the user varies depending on the degree of connection to the profile and the type of connection. Likewise, the system changes the connection options provided according to the degree of connection and the network membership of the profile. Among used connectivity options they may be the following; sending direct messages, requesting promotions, saving the profile for later viewing, and limited messaging. The system requires from the user to register in his/her system and enter his/her personal information. It creates the connection between two people according to these data. The user can only be matched with users registered in the system. The system does not create any roadmap to the user and the connection is only between 2 people. In conclusion, due to the abovementioned unfavorableness’ and inadequacy of existing solutions regarding the issue, a development in the relevant technical field is required.

Object of the invention

The invention aims to solve the abovementioned disadvantages by being inspired from the current conditions.

The object of the invention is to create a roadmap that extends in the form of the user he/she follows of the user he/she follows of the user he/she follows, consists of a minimum of 2 people, including the person the user wants to reach, for the person that the user desires to reach. The inventive mobile application-based method creates the roadmap based on the people follows the user and the people followed by the person that the user wants to reach and/or the people following the user.

The invention reduces the comprehensive query time in the state of the art to milliseconds and presents the query result to the user in the most apparent way. The invention carries out this process by using the public data of the users in its database. When the user wants to make a query, the roadmap extending from the user to the target person in the background is found by querying in milliseconds based on the database where two accounts follow and followed.

With the inventive method, contrary to the prior art, the links on social media sites are used while creating the connection path between 2 people. It is not required for the users to be a member of any other system or add friends through another system. The method proceeds by analyzing the already existing friends of users on social networks. The user can create a request to see the connection with any account on social media platforms. It will be sufficient for the users to download and install the application and connect their accounts so as to create connection paths with the people they require.

The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention will be understood more clearly by reference to the following figures and the detailed explanation thereof. Therefore, the evaluation should be made by taking these figures and detailed explanations into consideration.

Detailed Description of the Invention

In this detailed description, the preferred embodiments of the invention are merely described for a better understanding of the subject matter and without any limiting effect.

A roadmap that extends in the form of the user he/she follows of the user he/she follows of the user he/she follows, consists of a minimum of 2 people, including the person the user wants to reach, for the person that the user desires to reach is created by means of the inventive method that operates integrated with social media applications. Therefore, the user first installs the application on his/her mobile device and logs in to any social media account. The user can log in with a plurality of social media account and can choose which one to query. Then, the user chooses a suggested account from the explore tab in the application or presses the connect button by searching for any required account from the search tab. The query results are displayed in the results tab as positive, negative, and ongoing inquiries. The roadmaps are created at the end of the query, between the user and the account he/she wants to connect, using the accounts that these two accounts follow and have followers or the accounts they are connected to. This map consists of a minimum of 2 people, including the person to whom the user desires to reach. The accounts in the application's database are utilized for this process. Roadmaps are presented to the user from the results tab. If the user desires, he/she can share the visualized form of the result on social networks or different platforms and save it on his/her mobile device. In case the person queried does not follow anyone, no link is found, and a warning is displayed. At the same time, users can delete their data in the application, if they desire, thus they do not appear in any query.

In one embodiment of the invention, a certain amount of free credit is automatically defined for users who log in to the application so as to try the application. Credits are spent for queries made and maps created. If the user wishes, he/she can purchase credits for new transactions.

In one embodiment of the invention, the path from the user to the target person can be rendered again over different accounts at the request of the user in the roadmap created. Furthermore, the user can make selection among the presented roadmaps.

In one embodiment of the invention, a promotional video can be shown to the user at the first opening of the mobile application.
