Patent ID: 7370077

Claim:
A method of generating and distributing a dynamically updated web page through use of first and second network elements communicating over a short range wireless network, comprising the steps of: (i) passing a first data set from the first network element to the second network element over the short range wireless network via a short range wireless network connection; (ii) passing a second data set from the second network element to the first network element over the short range wireless network via a short range wireless network connection; (iii) aggregating the first and second data sets; and (iv) forming a dynamically updated web page to represent the information included in both the first and second data sets by responding to the aggregated first and second data sets as passed over the short range data network via the short range wireless network connections, the short range wireless network connections having a range that is shorter than cellular data transfer protocols and a higher data transfer rate than cellular data transfer protocols; the method being performed while a meeting is conducted among plural participants, the meeting being conducted with the aid of the short range wireless network including a plurality of the short range wireless network elements, the elements having a memory, each of the participants being associated with one of the network elements, the network element associated with each participant storing in the memory thereof personal information about the associated participant, the method further comprising: (v) in response to a first participant entering the meeting, causing a first of the network elements to transmit via the short range wireless network the personal information about the first participant to a device of the network, the device including a memory storing the web page, (vi) storing the personal information about the first participant that was transmitted via the network from the first element to the device in the device memory so the personal information about the first participant is on the web page; (vii) in response to a second participant entering the meeting, causing a second of the network elements to transmit via the short range wireless network the personal information about the second participant to the device of the network, (viii) storing the personal information about the second participant that was transmitted via the network from the first element to the device so the personal information about the second participant is on the web page and so that the device memory stores and the web page includes the personal information of the first and second participants; and (ix) causing the device memory to distribute at least some of the personal information of the first and second participants on the web page to network elements of participants of the meeting via a link including the short range wireless network.
