Abstract

A system and method is provided for communication of information in a mobile communication device (WMCD) configured to network connection may include discovering via a wireless mobile communication device, available communication resources based on acquired biometric data for a user of the WMCD, and communicating multimedia information between the WMCD and one or more of the discovered available resources. The acquired biometric data may include physical and behavioral biometric data to be authenticated and validated by a pattern recognition database. A connection between the WMCD and one or more discovered available resources may be established through linking the acquired biometric data to resources in available local or remote network. The established connection may enable the WMCD to consume or redirect media from the available resources and may be dynamically adjusted and updated based on dynamic sensing of the acquired biometric data in the available network or available resources.

Claims

1. A method for communication of information, the method comprising:

discovering via a wireless mobile communication device (WMCD), available communication resources based on acquired biometric data for a user of said WMCD; and

communicating multimedia information between said WMCD and one or more of said discovered available resources.

2. The method according to claim 1, comprising authenticating said acquired biometric data for said user of said WMCD.

3. The method according to claim 1, comprising validating said acquired biometric data for said user of said WMCD.

4. The method according to claim 1, comprising matching said acquired biometric data comprising physiological biometric data to corresponding data in a pattern recognition database.

5. The method according to claim 1, comprising matching said acquired biometric data comprising behavioral biometric data to corresponding data in a pattern recognition database.

6. The method according to claim 1, comprising establishing a connection between said WMCD and one or more of said discovered available resources.

7. The method according to claim 6, comprising consuming media from said one or more of said discovered available resources on said WMCD via said established connection.

8. The method according to claim 6, comprising redirecting via said WMCD, media from said one or more of said discovered available resources for consumption on a remote device.

9. The method according to claim 1, comprising, dynamically sensing said biometric data for said user of said WMCD.

10. The method according to claim 9, comprising updating said available communication resources based on said dynamically sensed biometric data for a user of said WMCD.

11. A system for communication of information, the system comprising:

one or more circuits that discovers via a wireless mobile communication device (WMCD), available communication resources based on acquired biometric data for a user of said WMCD; and

said one or more circuits communicates multimedia information between said WMCD and one or more of said discovered available resources.

12. The system according to claim 11, wherein said one or more circuits authenticates said acquired biometric data for said user of said WMCD.

13. The system according to claim 11, wherein said one or more circuits validates said acquired biometric data for said user of said WMCD.

14. The system according to claim 11, wherein said one or more circuits matches said acquired biometric data comprising physiological biometric data to corresponding data in a pattern recognition database.

15. The system according to claim 11, wherein said one or more circuits matches said acquired biometric data comprising behavioral biometric data to corresponding data in a pattern recognition database.

16. The system according to claim 11, wherein said one or more circuits establishes a connection between said WMCD and one or more of said discovered available resources.

17. The system according to claim 16, wherein said one or more circuits consumes media from said one or more of said discovered available resources on said WMCD via said established connection.

18. The system according to claim 16, wherein said one or more circuits redirects via said WMCD, media from said one or more of said discovered available resources for consumption on a remote device.

19. The system according to claim 11, wherein said one or more circuits dynamically senses said biometric data for said user of said WMCD.

20. The system according to claim 19, wherein said one or more circuits updates said available communication resources based on said dynamically sensed biometric data for a user of said WMCD.

21. A machine-readable storage having stored thereon, a computer program having at least one code section for data communication, the at least one code section being executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform steps comprising:

discovering via a wireless mobile communication device (WMCD), available communication resources based on acquired biometric data for a user of said WMCD; and

communicating multimedia information between said WMCD and one or more of said discovered available resources.

22. The machine readable storage according to claim 21, wherein said at least one code section comprises code for authenticating said acquired biometric data for said user of said WMCD.

23. The machine readable storage according to claim 21, wherein said at least one code section comprises code for validating said acquired biometric data for said user of said WMCD.

24. The machine readable storage according to claim 21, wherein said at least one code section comprises code for matching said acquired biometric data comprising physiological biometric data to corresponding data in a pattern recognition database.

25. The machine readable storage according to claim 21, wherein said at least one code section comprises code for matching said acquired biometric data comprising behavioral biometric data to corresponding data in a pattern recognition database.
