Patent Images
1. A method for communicating user preferences to an environment, comprising:
- receiving, by a network server, a user identifier from a user communication device of a first user within a first specific environment;
determining a first environment preference theme for the user identifier of the first user, the first environment preference theme being environment independent and indicating a general overall preference for environmental settings as specified by the first user;
selecting, by the network server, at least one environment setting for an electronic device within the first specific environment to be adapted to correspond with the first environment preference theme for the first user; and
communicating the environment setting to the electronic device within the first specific environment.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for communicating user preferences to an environment that stores a program that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform at least the following:
-
receive a user identifier from a user communication device of a first user within a first specific environment; determine a first environment preference theme for the user identifier of the first user, the first environment preference theme being environment independent and indicating a general overall preference for environmental settings as specified by the first user; select at least one environment setting for an electronic device within the first specific environment to be adapted to correspond with the first environment preference theme for the first user; and communicate the environment setting to the electronic device within the first specific environment. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
