Abstract

Systems and methods for communication among mobile applications are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for a first mobile application and a second mobile application on a mobile device to share information includes (1) a first mobile application executed by a computer processor on a mobile device determining that a second mobile application is present on the mobile device; (2) receiving, from a user, permission for the first mobile application to access data from the second application; (3) the first application executed by the computer processor requesting data from the second application; and (4) the first application receiving the requested data from the second application.

Claims

1. A method for controlling interaction using a mobile electronic device, comprising:

receiving, at a mobile electronic device, a request to interact with a third party;

retrieving, from a memory of the mobile electronic device, a plurality of personas, each of the persona indicating an action to take in response to the request;

at least one computer processor of the mobile electronic device selecting one of the plurality of personas; and

the at least one computer processor taking the action in response to the request for the selected persona;

wherein the persona is selected based on an identification of at least one electronic device in the vicinity of the mobile electronic device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the request to interact is a request to conduct a transaction.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the request to interact is a request to provide information to a social network.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the request to interact is a request to communicate.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the persona is further selected based on a location of the mobile electronic device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the persona is further selected based on a time of day.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the persona is further selected based on ambient intelligence.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the persona is defined by a user of the mobile electronic device.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the persona is defined based on a plurality of interactions by a user of the mobile electronic device.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the persona is updated based on interactions approved by a user of the mobile electronic device.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one electronic device in the vicinity of the mobile electronic device comprises a second mobile electronic device.

12. A method for controlling interaction using a mobile electronic device, comprising:

receiving, at a mobile electronic device, a request to interact with a third party;

receiving, at the mobile electronic device and from a user, an action to take in response to the request;

using at least one computer processor of the mobile electronic device, determining at least one parameter associated with the request; and

associating, in a memory of the mobile electronic device, the request and the at least one parameter with the action;

wherein the at least one parameter is an identification of at least one electronic device in the vicinity of the mobile electronic device.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the request to interact is a request to conduct a transaction.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the request to interact is a request to provide information to a social network.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein the request to interact is a request to communicate.

16. The method of claim 12, wherein the at least one parameter further comprises a location of the mobile electronic device.

17. The method of claim 12, wherein the at least one parameter further comprises a time of day.

18. The method of claim 12, wherein the at least one electronic device in the vicinity of the mobile electronic device comprises a second mobile electronic device.
