ways to locate information that is relevant to their interests. The present invention generally relates to the field of computer data storage and retrieval, and more specifically, to performing searches and connecting users within a social networking system in allowed permitted time. One area in which large amounts of information are involved is social networking. Social networking systems allow
users to designate other users as friends (or otherwise connect to or form relationships with other users), contribute and interact with media items, use applications, join groups, list and confirm attendance at events, create pages, and perform other tasks that facilitate social interaction.
But a social networking system typically tracks a considerable amount of
information about each user, which can be leveraged to identify items of relevance to a given user. In order to facilitate communications between the vast numbers of individuals, various social networking websites have developed in recent years, where they are organizational tools and forums for allowing these individuals to interact with one another via the social networking website Using
the present available platforms on social networking and meeting the corporate or key peoples are not user friendly.

Particularly, meeting the corporate peoples or busy business peoples in their regular time is difficult one. It becomes more difficult to connect them officially, getting their appointment, meeting place requires travel. Even though business people gives time or provide appointment, the official meeting won't 5 give full freedom to understand the persons and has a less chance that may end up in mutual benefits.
Therefore, there is a need for systems and methods that overcome the deficiencies as mentioned above and provides a simple, inconspicuous, and easy-to-use means to connect users during their free/ available time, and which 10 addresses the above-mentioned drawbacks of traditional systems.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an exemplary environment for connecting 5 users during their free/ available time. One or more users 102, such as a user 102A, a user 102B, and a user 102N, are in communication with a social network engine 106 via a network 104. The social network engine 106 may comprise a social networking website, one or more servers operating the social networking website, or any other device or application capable of providing social networking
services via the network 104. The users 102 can access the services provided by the social network engine 106 via the network 104. Optionally, one or more of the users 102 may be able to access the social network engine 106 directly.
The users 102 may use a computing device, such as a laptop or desktop computer, a cellular telephone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a set top box,
and so forth to access the social network engine 106. The users 102 can view data about social network members, view a social timeline, enter data about themselves and possibly others, join social network groups, and so forth. The users 102 are typically members of a social networking website associated with the social network engine 106, for example, and thus comprise the social network
members.
According to exemplary embodiments, a user 102, such as the user 102A, identifies one or more other members associated with the social network engine 106, such as the user 102B and the user 102N, with which the user 102A wants to build a relationship or establish or alter the details of an existing relationship.

Using the social network engine 106, the user 102A enters the details about the relationship. The social network engine 106 then sends data comprising the details from the user 102A to the other users (i.e., user 102B and user 102N). The user 102B and the user 102N may then provide input in response to the data. 5 The response may, for example, modify the data.
The relationship with the user 102B and the user 102N may confirmed, based on the input, by the social network engine 106. Alternatively, the existence of the relationship may be denied, according to some embodiments. Any type of confirmation and/or input may be utilized to alter, deny, and/or establish the
relationship between the user 102A and the user 102B and the user 102N.
The relationship may comprise any type of relationship that exists between two of the users 102. For example, the user 102A and the user 102B may have worked together, been classmates, be related, have dated, and so forth. More than one relationship may exist between the two users. For example, the user
102A and the user 102B may have both worked together and dated.
The data may then be ordered. For example, the user 102A may specify that the relationship with the user 102B is older than the relationship with the user 102N. In other words, the user 102A may enter detailed data that indicates calendar dates, years, and other timing information about the relationship. The
social network engine 106 can then order the data by the indicated times and generate a social timeline based on the ordered data. The social timeline may indicate when certain events related to the relationships occurred, for example, such as in the year 2004, the user 102A met the user 102B and traveled with the user 102B to Argentina. Any type of events, details, and other data related to the

relationship may be provided by the users 102 and utilized to generate the social timeline.

connectivity is achieved by identifying the user belong to same industry, domain,
skill set, business interest and future interest, common goals, positions, going to
same events etc.
At step 240, the method calculates to identify the mutual meeting place 20 and time of the users. The identification of an event including at least one of: a time of the event, a location of the event, and one or more users of the platform networking system invited to the event.

At step 250, the method facilitates the users by suggesting a common meeting place and time which include to join during travel, join the same hotel, join the conference, joint the product show, join the business meeting etc.
At step 260, the method blocks the meeting place and time upon making
a request from one user and the same is accepted by the other. The blocking of
the user meeting calendar will synchronize the existing meeting organizer tools
which users are interested or using in, and wherein the meeting calendar reminds
the user before the meeting time.
The users can modify the meeting or postpone or any other place. Further, 10 the users will get help to expand their business, personal and referral, where a meeting could be organized during departure, transit, stay, conference and any other common point.
Furthermore, the method also determines a plurality of the users of the platform networking system to filter the determined plurality of users to eliminate 15 users with profiles that do not match the user profile characteristic, the filtering resulting in a plurality of candidate recommended users.
In an example operation, the method, by getting the users information from a plurality of users allowing to get registered with the platform or through any other means of available information. The available information will be form their 20 travel, hotel and any other plan booking done through electronic and or available to access. Once the information were accessed, the suggestion logic identifies the right connectivity users, who interested to follow the person. Right connectivity can be achieved through identifying the person belongs to industry, Domain, Skill Set, Business interest and future interest, common goals, positions
