METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PUSHING SITUATIONALLY RELEVANT DATA
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of providing users with contextually relevant data, comprising:
- associating metadata tags with data items extracted from a variety of data sources that summarize the data items in searchable form using a common format;
collecting contextual data for users indicative of their current situation;
correlating the contextual data with said metadata tags with to identify data items of potential interest to the users taking into account their current situation;
identifying relevant receiving devices associated the identified users; and
pushing the identified data items to the relevant receiving devices in real time over a communications network to provide the identified users with information relevant to their current situation.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of providing users with contextually relevant data associates metadata tags with data items extracted from a variety of data sources that summarize the data items in searchable form using a common format. Contextual data is collected from the users indicative of their current situation. This data is then correlated with the metadata tags to identify data items of potential interest to the users taking into account their current situation. The identified data items are pushed to the relevant receiving devices in real time over a communications network to provide the identified users with information relevant to their current situation.

18. A system for providing users with contextually relevant data, comprising:
-
a data store for storing metadata tags with data items extracted from a variety of data sources that summarize the data items in searchable form using a common format; and
a processor configured to;collect contextual data for the users indicative of their current situation; correlate said contextual data with said metadata tags with to identify data items of potential interest to the users taking into account their current situation; identify relevant receiving devices associated with the identified users; and push the identified data items to relevant receiving devices associated with the respective users in real time over a communications network to provide the users with information relevant to their current situation. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
