Apparatuses, Methods and Systems for Coordinating Personnel Based on Profiles
First Claim
1. A processor-implemented method for coordinating personnel based on delivered personnel directives, comprising:
- accumulating user activity information;
accumulating user situational information;
associating the user activity interest information and user situational information with a user profile;
updating the user profile with the associated information in a database;
analyzing accumulated information associated with the user profile;
querying an information database based on the analysis of the user profile;
selecting information based on the user profile to include in a personnel directive; and
sending the personnel directive to a user.

Abstract
The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods, and systems for coordinating personnel based on profiles. Information and/or personnel directive providers, such as project managers, may use a code triggered information server to serve context, demographic, and behavior targeted information and/or personnel directives to users, such as employees, via mobile devices. Users, in turn, trigger the provision of information by scanning or observing codes or information. For example, a manager may broadcast a single barcode to employees that they scan to receive personalized instructions and/or directives. The scans, together with geographic, temporal, and user-specific information, are obtained by the server that receives, processes, and records the message. Based on these messages and a user profile—which may include continuously updated user-specific behavior information, situational and ambient information, an accumulated history of scanned code messages, and integration with outside database information—the server selects information to serve to the users'"'"' mobile devices from an information base. For example, a mason who scans a barcode for a house building project may be instructed to begin laying bricks on the south wall. In one embodiment, information may also be served to users based solely on analysis of the user profiles, and without any initiating code scan. For example, all off-duty fireman expected t be near a particular emergency may be directed to report for assistance.

22. A processor-implemented method for coordinating personnel by serving personnel directives to a mobile device, comprising:
-
receiving at a server messages from a user comprised of user identification, mobile device identification, a code image scanned by the mobile device, time of the scan, and user geographic location at the time of the scan, wherein the messages are sent to a short code address via MMS; associating the user identification with a user profile in a database; updating the user profile with the received messages; enhancing the code image scanned by the mobile device; analyzing the accumulated messages in the user profile; determining proper information to serve to the user based on the received message and the user profile; selecting the information to serve to the user from a database; incorporating the selected information into a personnel directive; and sending the personnel directive to the user'"'"'s mobile device via MMS.

24. A system for coordinating personnel based on delivered personnel directives, comprising:
-
means to accumulate user activity information; means to accumulate user situational information; means to associate the user activity interest information and user situational information with a user profile; means to update the user profile with the associated information in a database; means to analyze accumulated information associated with the user profile; means to query an information database based on the analysis of the user profile; means to select information based on the user profile to include in a personnel directive; and means to send the personnel directive to a user.
