Method and system for seamless portability by profile sharing
First Claim
1. A method of collectively setting preferences among at least two electronic devices;
- comprising the steps of;
collecting user preference data independently by the at least two electronic devices;
exchanging the user preference data among the at least two electronic devices when the at least two electronic devices are within a predetermined proximity;
forming a user profile from the user data exchanged; and
setting parameters in at least one among the at least two electronic devices in accordance with the user profile.

Abstract
A framework (10) and method (60 and 70) of collectively setting preferences among at least two electronic devices (52 and 54) can include the step of collecting user preference data independently by the at least two electronic devices, exchanging (65 and 75) the user preference data among the at least two electronic devices when such devices are within a predetermined proximity (63 and 73), forming a user profile (82) from the user data exchanged, and setting parameters (47) in at least one among the electronic devices in accordance with the user profile. The method can further include the steps of authenticating the at least two electronic devices before the step of exchanging the user preference data and registering users. The method can also further include the step of interchanging capabilities and settings among the at least two devices.

12. A profile manager used in an electronic device, comprising:
-
an interface module for abstracting data to a remaining portion of the profile manager;
a device identifier coupled to the interface module, wherein the device identifier identifies a remote device and identifies data that can be shared between the electronic device and the remote device;
a profile generator coupled to the device identifier for creating a user profile based on user interactions with the electronic device;
a storage medium for storing the user profile including a local profile and a interchangeable profile; and
an update engine for detecting what needs to be updated on at least one among the electronic device and the remote device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
