Abstract

A method and apparatus for displaying real-time information objects between a wireless mobile user station and multiple information sources based upon event driven parameters and user modifiable object manifest, wherein the multiple real-time information sources and real-time event occurrences are collected, tagged and analyzed for context relevance and transmitted to a wireless mobile computer user based on personal preference and request of the wireless mobile computer user, thus providing a highly personalized experience.

Claims

1. An apparatus for relaying event-based real-time information to a wireless mobile computer, comprising:

at least one digital information provider;

at least one media control server;

at least one wireless access point; and

at least one wireless mobile computer.

2. A method of relaying event-based real-time information to a wireless mobile computer, comprising the steps of:

a. transmitting at least one signal from at least one information provider to at least one media control server;

b. transmitting at least one signal from said at least one information provider to said at least one media control server;

c. processing, sorting, manipulating, filtering, parsing, time tagging and saving said at least one signal;

d. personalizing said at least one signal;

e. transmitting personalized said at least one signal to at least one wireless access point; and

f. distributing said at least one signal from said at least one wireless access point to at least one of said wireless mobile computers as a function of the personal preferences and predefined parameters of a user of at least one of said wireless mobile computers.
