Abstract
A mobile broadcast/receiver device contains a transmitter that transmits user information locally, a receiver that receives locally transmitted information, memory to store information transmitted and received, a microprocessor or other logic to filter the received information to be relevant either to the information being broadcast by the user or according to the user's interests as provided by the user, and a display to present the filtered information to the user. The mobile broadcast device optionally communicates with location reference devices and/or other positioning devices, other broadcast devices, or other mobile devices such as mobile broadcast devices.
Claims23
A mobile broadcast/receiver device, comprising:
- a display;
- a memory connected to the display;
- a user input connected to the memory configured to receive personal information to be stored in the memory;
- a transmitter configured to broadcast the user personal information as transmitted personal information, at least initially without forming an individual connection with another device for the purpose of broadcasting the transmitted personal information;
- a receiver configured to receive incoming personal information of a person other than the user, at least initially without forming an individual connection with another device for the purpose of receiving the incoming personal information;
- and
- a filter configured to filter the incoming personal information using personal-preference based criteria as a reference;
- wherein the mobile broadcast/receiver device is configured to display to the user in infographic form the filtered incoming personal information of a person other than the user.
A mobile broadcast/receiver system, comprising:
- a display means;
- a memory means connected to the display for storing information;
- a user input means connected to the memory for accepting user personal information;
- a transmitter means for broadcasting the user personal information as transmitted personal information, at least initially without forming an individual connection with another device for the purpose of broadcasting the transmitted personal information;
- a receiving means for receiving incoming personal information of a person other than the user, at least initially without forming an individual connection with another device for the purpose of receiving the incoming personal information;
- and
- a filtering means for filtering the incoming personal information for display to the user based upon user settings input at the user input means along with the user personal information;
- wherein the mobile broadcast/receiver system displays to the user in infographic form the filtered incoming personal information of a person other than the user.
A method of filtering incoming information broadcast over a local area, comprising:
- publicly broadcasting user personal information input by a user and stored in memory, at least initially without forming an individual connection with another device for the purpose of broadcasting the user personal information;
- receiving incoming information broadcast over a local area and storing it in memory, at least initially without forming an individual connection with another device for the purpose of receiving the incoming information;
- filtering the incoming information broadcast over a local area based upon user choices stored in memory;
- and
- displaying to the user in infographic form the filtered incoming information.
