1. An apparatus for communication comprising:
- a device associated with and in close proximity with a first participant comprising;
a wireless transceiver;
a display coupled to the wireless transceiver where the display renders information about a neighboring participant;
evaluation logic coupled to the wireless transceiver that enables match evaluation between a person and the neighboring participant based on profile related information received via the wireless transceiver; and
display logic that enables rendering of the match evaluation on the display.

Abstract
Techniques and devices for electronically enabled in-person social networking are disclosed. A device is worn on a first user'"'"'s wrist or otherwise placed on or near a first user. The device is associated with the user and a user profile is established. When another user wearing or holding a similar device comes in close proximity to the first user, the profiles of the two users are compared to see if any attributes from both users'"'"' established profiles have a strong correlation or match. If so, an indication is displayed on the device, indicating to both users that a match between the two users has been determined.

17. A processor-implemented method for communication comprising:
-
receiving profile information on a first person; comparing the profile information on the first person with profile information on a second person; evaluating a match between the first person and the second person, based on the comparing; and rendering results, based on the evaluating of the match, on a plurality of devices in wireless communication with each other where a first device, from the plurality of devices, is in close contact with the first person and a second device, from the plurality of devices, is in close contact with the second person and where the first device and the second device are within proximity of one another and where the first device and the second device exchange data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)

39. A system for communication comprising:
-
a first device associated with a first participant; and a second device associated with a second participant wherein; the first device and the second device exchange profile information on the first participant and the second participant, in response to the first device and the second device being in proximity to one another; the first device and the second device perform evaluation of a match between the first participant and the second participant based on the profile information that was exchanged; and the first device and the second device render results of the evaluation of a match.
