A PORTABLE COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MATCH-MAKING WITH UNIQUE USER ID

摘要

A portable communication apparatus for match-making with a plurality of remote communication apparatuses has memory means for storing first match-making data associated with the portable communication apparatus. The portable communication apparatus also has a transceiver for communication with an individual one of the remote communication apparatuses across a wireless link, so as to receive second match-making data associated with the individual remote communication apparatus. The wireless link is based on an apparatus-specific identity of the port able communication apparatus as well an apparatus-specific identity of the individual remote communication apparatus. The portable communication apparatus further has a processing device for performing a correlation analysis between the first match-making data and the second match-making data and-in case a result of the correlation analysis indicates a match between the portable communication apparatus and the individual remote communication apparatus-providing an alert to a user of the portable communication apparatus. The apparatus-specific identity of the portable communication apparatus, the apparatus-specific identity of the individual remote communication apparatus as well as the apparatus-specific identities of other ones of the remote communication apparatuses are all unique.
