20140317185 | Systems and Methods for a Contextual Social Network - Disclosed are systems and methods to implement a contextual social network. A contextual social network adds a relationship based at least in part on a context of the relationship. For example, a child may be a student at a school and in turn a student in a particular kindergarten class at that school. As of the next school year the child can maintain the relationship with the school but replace the relationship with the kindergarten class to a relationship with a first grade class. When the child goes to a different school the original school relationship can be replaced with a new one. While the child is in a particular school or class at school the parents of the child have an indirect relationship (e.g., through their child) with the same school and class. The indirect relationship can automatically change as the relationship of the child to the school changes. | 10-23-2014 |
