Abstract

In one embodiment, the present disclosure is a method and apparatus for dynamic provision of personalized information. In one embodiment, a method for providing information relevant to a need of a user of a communication device includes monitoring, by the communication device, dynamic information relating to the user, and sending, by the communication device, a message describing the need of the user, where the message includes the dynamic information.

Claims

1. A method for providing information relevant to a need of a user of a communication device, the method comprising:

monitoring, by the communication device, dynamic information relating to the need of the user; and

sending, by the communication device, a message describing the need of the user, where the message comprises the dynamic information.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a response to the message; and

displaying the response.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the sending comprises sending the message to a remote application.

4. The method of claim 3, the application publishes the message to a uniform resource locator.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the dynamic information comprises at least one of:

a current location of the communication device, a time of day at the current location of the communication device, or a user profile associated with the user.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the message further comprises content input by the user.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the content comprises at least one of:

a text-based message, an audio-based message, or a video-based message.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the communication device dynamically updates the message over time.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the communication device is a mobile device.

10. A computer readable storage medium containing an executable program for providing information relevant to a need of a user of a communication device, where the program performs steps of:

monitoring, by the communication device, dynamic information relating to the need of the user; and

sending, by the communication device, a message describing the need of the user, where the message comprises the dynamic information.

11. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, further comprising:

receiving a response to the message; and

displaying the response.

12. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the sending comprises sending the message to a remote application.

13. The computer readable storage medium of claim 12, the application publishes the message to a uniform resource locator.

14. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the dynamic information comprises at least one of:

a current location of the communication device, a time of day at the current location of the communication device, or a user profile associated with the user.

15. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the message further comprises content input by the user.

16. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the content comprises at least one of:

a text-based message, an audio-based message, or a video-based message.

17. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the communication device dynamically updates the message over time.

18. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the communication device is a mobile device.

19. Apparatus for providing information relevant to a need of a user of a communication device, the system comprising:

means for monitoring, by the communication device, dynamic information relating to the need of the user; and

means for sending, by the apparatus, a message describing the need of the user, where the message comprises the dynamic information.

20. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the apparatus is a mobile communication device.
