ABSTRACT:
A relationship management system using a database that stores contact information defining a set of contact individuals associated with each of the users of the database. An input routine stored on a computer readable medium is executed on a processor to accept an input of a target individual from a starting person who is a user of the system. A contact information access routine is executed on the processor to access contact information in the form of user-contact pairs stored in the database that are associated with the starting person and the target individual. A relationship connection routine is executed on the processor to utilize the user-contact pairs accessed by the contact information access routine and determine relationship connections that may link the starting person and the target individual. A display routine is executed to display to the starting person an indication of the potential relationship connections.
