HANDHELD COMPUTING UNIT AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF
First Claim
1. A handheld computing unit comprises:
- a radio frequency (RF) section operable to;
convert an inbound RF signal into an inbound symbol stream; and
convert an outbound symbol stream into an outbound RF signal;
processing module operable to;
convert outbound data into the outbound symbol stream;
convert the inbound symbol stream into inbound data;
monitor communications of the handheld computing unit to produce monitored communications;
determine data regarding at least one of a person, a place, an activity, and a thing from the monitored communications;
generate a list of interests based on the data regarding the at least one of a person, a place, an activity, and a thing;
memory operable to store at least a portion of the list of interests; and
input-output (IO) interface operable to output an element of the at least a portion of the list of interests for display.

Abstract
A handheld computing unit includes an RF section, a processing module, memory, and an IO interface. The RF section converts an inbound RF signal into an inbound symbol stream and converts an outbound symbol stream into an outbound RF signal. The processing module converts outbound data into the outbound symbol stream, converts the inbound symbol stream into inbound data, monitors communications of the handheld computing unit to produce monitored communications, determines data regarding at least one of a person, a place, an activity, and a thing from the monitored communications, and generates a list of interests based on the data regarding the at least one of a person, a place, an activity, and a thing.
