SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DIRECT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES
First Claim
1. A system for processing data from a wireless communication device, comprising:
- means for storing user-related data in a storage location of a first wireless communication device;
means for establishing a wireless communication link between the first wireless communication device and a second wireless communication device;
means for extracting the user-related data in the storage location of the first wireless communication device upon establishment of the wireless communication link;
means for transferring the extracted user-related data to a web page associated with a user of the second wireless communication device;
means for storing the transferred data in a storage location associated with the web page;
means for accessing the web page to retrieve the stored transferred data; and
a network access point wherein the means for establishing a communication link comprises a transceiver in each of the first and second wireless communication devices to establish a communication link between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device via the network access point.

Abstract
A wireless communication device includes conventional components to permit a network communication link to be established with a wireless communication network. In addition, the wireless communication device includes a non-network transceiver that detects the presence of a wireless access point. When two such equipped devices come within proximity of the access point, a non-network wireless communication link is established. The two devices exchange portions of profile data which is analyzed to determine if a match exists. If a match occurs, a contact notification is generated. This permits the wireless communication device to act as an auto-detecting social network device that detects the proximity of other devices whose owners have a profile that matches the stored user preference data. Subsequent communication may occur in a conventional manner using the wireless network communication channels and web applications may also be used to gain additional information.
