摘要

An application device 401 eg a cellular telephone is connectable with a donor device 541 such as a portable memory card 560 or widely accessible central database 550. The donor device 541 stores and provides preferences to the application device 401. The donor device 541 contains a reference preference memory capable of storing preferences for a particular user. A controller 450 accesses the donor device to obtain preferences that pertain to the particular user under certain conditions and stores preferences obtained from the donor device in the session preference memory 490 of the application device 401 for use in a session by the particular user. The preferences can be established based on previously stored preference information using a prediction procedure. <IMAGE>
