First Claim
1. A portable matching device comprising:
- a memory storing first identification information;
a communication device configured to transmit the first identification information from the memory to a presence detector and to receive a matching attribute from a server configured to determine whether a first profile associated with the first identification information and a second profile match according to matching criteria;
a match indicator configured to present the matching attribute, wherein the matching attribute is unique to the second profile and at least one of outwardly visible or audible so as to be informative to a person other than a user of the portable matching device of the match.
