Systems and methods for context relevant information management and display
First Claim
1. A method for serving context-relevant information, comprising:
- identifying a user associated with a wireless information device;
determining the location of the wireless information device;
ascertaining the proximity of the wireless information device to at least one object, and transmitting context-relevant content to the wireless information device, where the context-relevant content is based at least in part on the identity of the user, the location of the wireless information device, and the proximity of the wireless information device to the at least one object.

Abstract
A wireless information device provides a user with context relevant information. The precise location of the wireless device is monitored by a tracking system. Using the location of the wireless device and the identity of the user, context relevant information is transmitted to the device, where the context relevant information is pre-defined, at least in part, by the user. Context relevant information served to the device depends on the identity of the user, the location of the device, and the proximity of the device to persons or objects. The wireless information device may be used by healthcare workers, such as physicians, in hospitals, although other environments are contemplated, such as hotels, airports, zoos, theme parks, and the like.
