METHOD FOR BUILDING GROUPS OR/AND COMMUNITIES USING COMMUNICATION BY WIRELESS EQUIPMENTS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for establishing a communication network that connects a group or community of users (102) using wireless equipments (101 ) according to their defined interests. These equipments (101 ) are preferentially portable, low cost, and user- friendly, where each equipment (101 ) must be configurable using its user's profile, which contains a small amount of the user's personal data, namely the miniprofile. The method uses a collection of such miniprofiles to transparently set a communication network among the associate users to establish a virtual community. In addition, each profile will contain further information on user's interests, which the method will propagate across the communication network to the established virtual community in a way that their members will be able to form groups (102) based on common interests while allowing for interaction among their members. The user profile can be set identifiable or anonymous, may or not be shareable in relation to the other members of a group (102). The method is distributed, and supports spontaneous and volatile communication networks, preferentially.
