Patent ID: 8892032

Claim:
A method for managing data between a first electronic device and a second electronic device in a Near Field Communication (NFC) network, the method performed at the first electronic device and comprising the steps of: receiving a request at the first electronic device from the second electronic device to send context data when the first electronic device and the second electronic device are in close proximity to one another, wherein the context data changes based on an environment of a user of the first electronic device by updating, by the first electronic device, the context data with information of sensors received from an aggregator which aggregates the information from the sensors; representing the context data in accordance with a context Record Type Definition (RTD), wherein the context RTD is used to define context data in the NFC network; exchanging the context data that is represented in accordance with the context RTD with the second electronic device; and encapsulating the context data with control parameters in the context RTD prior to exchanging the context data with the second electronic device.
