Abstract

A method, computer program product, and system is provided for community based mobile device profiling. In an implementation, a method may include receiving, via a first mobile device, a wireless signal associated with a second mobile device. The method may also include determining an identity of a user associated with the second mobile device. The method may further include establishing at least one setting of the first mobile device based upon, at least in part, a mobile device profile associated with the first mobile device and the identity of the user associated with the second mobile device.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, via a first mobile device, a wireless signal associated with a second mobile device;

determining an identity of a user associated with the second mobile device; and

establishing at least one setting of the first mobile device based upon, at least in part, a mobile device profile associated with the first mobile device and the identity of the user associated with the second mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the identity of the user is determined based upon, at least in part, the wireless signal.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the identity of the user is determined based upon, at least in part, information included within a data store.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the identity of the user includes, at least in part, a user attribute.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining at least one setting of the second mobile device based upon, at least in part, a mobile device profile associated with the second mobile device.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

updating the mobile device profile associated with the first mobile device based upon, at least in part, a user input changing the at least one setting of the first mobile device and at least one previously established profile setting saved within the mobile device profile associated with the first mobile device.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

changing the at least one setting of the first mobile device based upon, at least in part, the mobile device profile associated with the first mobile device and an incoming communication received at the first mobile device.
