Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007112840A1] The invention relates to a device (100) for processing a search request (112, 112') comprising a request receiving element (110) for receiving a search request from a first user (USER 1) and a categoriser (120) for assigning the search request to one category in a plurality of different categories. The device also comprises a communication partner derminator (130) for determining a second user (USER 2) who made the search request which is assigned to the same category, in addition to an information provider (150) for supplying information (152) to a first user confirming the existence of a second user who made the search request in the same category, and supplying information (154) to the second user confirming the existence of the first user who made a search request in the same category. The above concept can be implemented as a method and as a computer program. The described concept enables users who made search requests in the same category to participate in direct electronic communication. This ensures a particularly efficient exchange of knowledge between various users of the inventive device.
