SEARCHING METHODS

摘要

Methods and apparatus for using an energy emanating device that finds a person (17a,b) object or system based on preselected attributes (33) stored in the energy emanating device (10) are disclosed. The attributes (33) of individuals, are compared and a match is determined based upon the correlation of these attributes (33). The matching is accomplished using a variety of algorithms, including a distance formula. In alternative embodiments, the distance formula may be used in a search engine.
