Patent

CA 2511700

An apparatus and methods are disclosed for enabling the response to a command at a personal wireless terminal to be based at least partially on the presence or absence of other users nearby, and possibly the identity of those users. In the illustrated embodiment, the personal wireless terminal determines wirelessly (e.g., via Bluetooth, etc.) whether there are any other nearby personal wireless terminals (and inferentially, the users associated with these terminals), and then determines whether the command is authorized in that particular environment of nearby users. In some embodiments, authorization is also at least partially based on one or more additional factors, such as the identity of the user of the personal wireless terminal, the identify of nearby users, the nature of the command, one or more arguments of a command, the value of a datum retrieved by a query, and the date and time (i.e., "calendrical time").

L'invention porte sur un appareil et des méthodes permettant la réponse à une commande à un terminal personnel sans fil d'être basé au moins en partie sur la présence ou l'abscence d'autres utilisateurs à proximité, et possiblement d'identifier ces utilisateurs. Dans la réalisation illustrée, le terminal personnel sans fil détermine (p. ex. au moyen de Bluetooth, etc.) s'il y a d'autres terminaux personnels sans fil à proximité (et, indirectement, les utilisateurs associés à ces terminaux), et détermine ensuite si la commande est autorisée dans cet environnement spécifique d'utilisateurs à proximité. Dans certaines réalisations, l'autorisation est aussi au moins en partie, basée sur un ou plusieurs facteurs supplémentaires, comme l'identité de l'utilisateur du terminal personnel sans fil, l'identité des utilisateurs à proximité, la nature de la commande, un ou plusieurs arguments d'une commande, la valeur d'une donnée récupérée par une interrogation et la date et l'heure (c.-à-d. "l'heure calendaire").
