Communications device and method comprising user profiles matching between compatible devices
First Claim
1. A communications device comprising:
- a memory adapted to store at least one profile of a user of the device, wherein the said at least one profile contains predetermined attributes and requirements of the user, a transceiver adapted to transmit information relating to the said requirements to a compatible device and receive information relating to requirements of the said compatible device;
a controller adapted to register a match between the said device and the said compatible device, only when the said attributes match the said requirements of the said compatible device; and
a user alert adapted to alert a user when the controller has established that a match has been made;
wherein the transceiver is further adapted to transmit a first match signal to the compatible device when the controller has established that a match has been made;
wherein the said device does not need to receive information relating to attributes of the said compatible device, in order to register a match with the said compatible device.

Abstract
A communications device comprising a memory adapted to store at least one profile of a user of the device, wherein the said at least one profile contains predetermined attributes and requirements of the user, a communicator adapted to exchange information with a compatible device; a controller adapted to register a match between information sent by the said device and information received from a compatible device, only when said requirements match attributes of the said compatible device and the said attributes match requirements of the said compatible device; and a user alert adapted to alert a user when the controller has established that a match has been made; wherein the said communicator is adapted to receive information relating to the requirements from the said compatible device, and not said information relating to the said attributes.

68. A communications method comprising the steps of:
-
storing at least one profile of a user in a memory of a communications device, wherein the or each said profile contains predetermined attributes and requirements of the user;
using a transceiver of the device to transmit information relating to the said requirements to a compatible device and receive information relating to requirements of the said compatible device;
using a controller to register a match between the said device and the said compatible device, only when the said attributes match the said requirements of the said compatible device;
using a user alert to alert a user when the controller has established that a match has been made; and
using the transceiver to transmit a first match signal to the said compatible device when the controller has established that a match has been made;
wherein the said device does not need to receive information relating to attributes of the said compatible device, in order to register a match with the said compatible device. - View Dependent Claims (69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132)
