E-SmallTalker: A Distributed Mobile System for Social Networking in Physical Proximity

Abstract: Abstract-Small talk is an important social lubricant that helps people, especially strangers, initiate conversations and make friends with each other in physical proximity. However, due to difficulties in quickly identifying significant topics of common interest, real-world small talk tends to be superficial. The mass popularity of mobile phones can help improve the effectiveness of small talk. In this paper, we present E-SmallTalker, a distributed mobile communications system that facilitates social networkin… Show more

“…Another way is the fully distributed technique, which requires no trusted server in the whole matchmaking process, [9,23,35]. The operations, such as the distribution of personal attributes data, the computation of the intersection set, and the dissemination of results are performed among multi-parties, without any trusted third party.…”

“…A Bluetooth device providing service publishes its service record enclosing a number of service attributes; some service attributes are common to all (e.g., ServiceClassIDList, ProviderName), but others can be defined by the service providers themselves. [20] proposes an approach for information exchange by modifying the attributes of service records. In our implementation, we make use of a similar approach to exchange information for collaborative streaming, including upload preferences, social attributes, and segment availability.…”

“…They store data (e.g., profiles) locally in their mobile devices, and no central Internet server is involved. E-SmallTalker [20] is a mobile communications system facilitating social networking among people in physical proximity, and can discover and suggest topics of common interests for conversations. PeopleNet [15] presents an architecture that facilitates information seeking over a wireless virtual social network.…”

“…However, restricting location sharing to established social relations makes a large class of mobile social applications, such as Serendipity [5], impossible. Besides, E-SmallTalker [11] and E-Shadow [9] preserve location privacy by limiting social information sharing in physical proximity via local wireless communications. In a mOSN, users may want to see the locations of both friends and strangers within some ranges, while at the same time they should be able to control how their own location information is accessed by others.…”
