Abstract
Systems and methods for generating suggestions based on group criteria. A device may act as a proxy for a group and scan information from other devices in the group. The proxy device may then transmit the scanned information to a remote resource. The remote resource may obtain preference information based on profile information, for devices that are determined to be registered with a service, and based on inquiry responses for unregistered devices. The preference information may be compiled into group criteria that may be employed in making one or more suggestions to the group. If the group selects one of the suggestions then the remote resource may make arrangements based on the selection. Otherwise, additional suggestions may be provided to the group. The remote resource may also monitor the group and continue to make suggestions accordingly.
