METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSFERRING INFORMATION BETWEEN ELECTRONIC DEVICES
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, at a portable electronic device, a first host identifier signal;
transmitting resource locator information from the portable electronic device to a host server via a first communication link, wherein identification of the host server, to which the resource locator information is transmitted, is derived from an analysis of the received first host identifier signal, and the resource locator information identifies a location within a first memory where program information resides;
storing the received resource locator information in a second memory of the host server;
generating, by the host server, a representation of the resource locator information; and
transmitting, by the portable electronic device, at least a portion of the program information to an external electronic device based on the generated representation of the resource locator information.

Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provided herein generally include a system and a method of configuring and/or controlling the transfer of information between two or more electronic devices due to the interaction of an electronic device and a host identifier signal generating system. Embodiments of the disclosure may include a system and a method of distributing useful information received by or contained within a memory of the electronic device based on the receipt of a host identifier signal. The electronic device may then perform one or more desirable functions or processes based the portable electronic device'"'"'s interaction with the host identifier signal generating system. Some aspects of the invention may include an apparatus, method and/or one or more computing device software applications that are configured to more easily setup, configure and/or control the presentation, distribution, collection and/or analysis of program information residing in a first electronic device to a second electronic device based on the interaction of the first electronic device with the host identifier signal generating system.

20. A system for sharing program information by electronic devices, comprising:
-
a first host identifier signal generation system, comprising; a first processor; non-volatile memory having host identifier signal information stored therein; and a transceiver that is configured to wirelessly transmit the host identifier signal that comprises a first resource locator information, wherein the first resource locator information identifies the resource location of a host server; a first portable electronic device, comprising; a second processor; a transceiver that is configured to receive the host identifier signal information from the first host identifier signal generation system; non-volatile memory having program information stored therein and a number of instructions which, when executed by the second processor, causes the portable electronic device to perform operations comprising; analyzing the host identifier signal received from the transceiver; and transmitting a second resource locator information to a host server via a first communication link, wherein the host server is located at the first resource locator information and is selected due to information found in the received host identifier signal, and the second resource locator information identifies a location in a first memory where the program information resides; and the host server, comprising; a third processor; a transceiver that is configured to receive the transmitted second resource locator information from the first portable electronic device; and non-volatile memory having stored therein and a number of instructions which, when executed by the third processor, causes the host server to perform operations comprising; receive the transmitted second resource locator information; store the received second resource locator information in memory of the host server; and generate a representation of the resource locator information. - View Dependent Claims (21)

22. A computer implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving, at a portable electronic device, a first host identifier signal; transmitting resource locator information from the portable electronic device to a host server via a first communication link, wherein identification of the host server, to which the resource locator information is transmitted, is derived from an analysis of the received first host identifier signal, and the resource locator information identifies a location within a first memory where program information resides; storing the received resource locator information in a second memory of the host server; transmitting, from the host server, the resource locator information to external electronic devices found on a user access list that is stored in the second memory of the host server; and transmitting, by the portable electronic device, at least a portion of the program information to at least one of the external electronic devices based on the transmitted resource locator information.
