Abstract
A method to replace profile related data is suggested. A history database including recorded profile related data may be provided. Upon receiving actual profile related data, a processor may retrieve, from the history database, at least one recorded profile related data, matching to the actual profile related data. Then, a command may be received, from a user, to replace at least one part of the actual profile related data.
Claims20
A computer implemented method to replace profile related data, the method comprising:
- providing a history database, wherein the history database comprises recorded profile related data;
- receiving actual profile related data;
- retrieving, by a processor, from the history database, at least one recorded profile related data, wherein the at least one recorded profile related data matches to the actual profile related data;
- prompting, by a processor, a user with alternative profile data, wherein the alternative profile related data comprises the least one recorded profile related data, and wherein the least one recorded profile related data is modified according to available environmental conditions;
- receiving, from the user, a command to replace at least one part of the actual profile related data with the alternative profile related data;
- and
- replacing the at least one part of the actual profile related data with the alternative profile related data.
A computer program product to replace profile related data, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having computer usable code embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the computer usable program code comprising:
- computer usable code configured to provide a history database, wherein the history database comprises recorded profile related data;
- computer usable code configured to receive actual profile related data;
- computer usable code configured to retrieve, by a processor, from the history database, at least one recorded profile related data, wherein the at least one recorded profile related data matches to the actual profile related data;
- computer usable code configured to prompt, by a processor, a user with alternative profile data, wherein the alternative profile related data comprises the least one recorded profile related data, and wherein the least one recorded profile related data is modified according to available environmental conditions;
- computer usable code configured to receive, from the user, a command to replace at least one part of the actual profile related data with the alternative profile related data;
- and
- computer usable code configured to replace the at least one part of the actual profile related data with the alternative profile related data.
A mobile computer carrying a computer program product to replace profile related data, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having computer usable code embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the computer usable program code comprising:
- computer usable code configured to provide a history database, wherein the history database comprises recorded profile related data;
- computer usable code configured to receive actual profile related data;
- computer usable code configured to retrieve, by a processor, from the history database, at least one recorded profile related data, wherein the at least one recorded profile related data matches to the actual profile related data;
- computer usable code configured to prompt, by a processor, a user with alternative profile data, wherein the alternative profile related data comprises the least one recorded profile related data, and wherein the least one recorded profile related data is modified according to available environmental conditions;
- computer usable code configured to receive, from the user, a command to replace at least one part of the actual profile related data with the alternative profile related data;
- and
- computer usable code configured to replace the at least one part of the actual profile related data with the alternative profile related data.
