Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0206974A2] The invention relates to a method for automatically comparing search profiles. According to said method, a search profile is compared with one or several offered profiles that are stored in a database. The individual profiles are subdivided into data fields, in which the information to be compared is saved. Different types of data fields are provided within each profile and the individual profiles have the same structure. During the comparison of a search profile with an offered profile, at least two different types of data fields comprising different comparison functions are compared. A final comparison value is calculated from the interim comparison values that are obtained in this way. According to the inventive method, different comparison functions are thus used for the different types of data fields. This allows a substantially more individual comparison of information than can be obtained using conventional methods.
