System and method for providing a virtual presence while securely managing and applying user profile data
First Claim
1. A system for responding to the arrival of a person within a defined geographic area before actual arrival at the target destination comprising:
- a mobile electronic device configured to output a unique device identification number comprising;
a position locating navigation system that outputs position data;
a first radio transmitter;
a first radio receiver;
a first memory for storing user profile data;
a second memory for storing an application that transmits the position data, the device identification number and the user profile data using the first radio transmitter; and
a third memory for receiving a request profile signal using the first radio receiver when the mobile electronic device has entered the defined geographic area;
a host server comprising;
a second radio transmitter;
a second radio receiver;
a first transmitter configured to transmit data to an address of a terminal and to the mobile electronic device;
a list of addresses for terminals of service providers registered to provide services to the arriving person and the corresponding unique device identification number from the arriving person'"'"'s mobile electronic device;
a fourth memory for storing device identification numbers; and
a fifth memory for storing an application that recognizes device identification numbers and transmits a request profile signal to the mobile electronic device having a recognized device identification number using the second radio transmitter, that receives user profile data from the mobile electronic device having the recognized device identification number using the second radio receiver, that determines the nature of the information in the user profile data and performs one of modifying the user profile data or not modifying the user profile data, that reformats the resulting user profile data into a screen image and transmits one or both of the screen image to the terminal at an address from the list of addresses using the first transmitter and the user profile data to the mobile electronic device having the recognized device identification number responsive to the mobile electronic device Global Positioning System navigation arrival from information relating to the mobile electronic device within a defined geographic area before the actual navigated mobile electronic device destination arrival.

Abstract
Systems and methods for responding to the arrival of a person within a defined geographic area after receiving a virtual presence of the person at a target destination before actual arrival at the target destination are defined. A mobile electronic device stores user profile data and periodically outputs a unique device identification number and position data. A host server monitors the position data and when it is within the defined geographic area, the user profile data is received from the mobile electronic device and transmitted to subscribing terminals. The terminals display the user profile data so that customer service may be enhanced upon the user'"'"'s arrival. When the user leaves the defined geographic area, the profile data is removed.
