Managing consumer preferences with a portable data processing system

摘要

In accordance with the method, system, and program of the present invention, consumer preferences designated for a user are transmitted in a transmittable data format from a portable data processing system associated with the user to multiple independent server systems each associated with a consumer provider from among multiple diverse consumer providers. Specialized services and products from each of the diverse consumer providers are designated for the user at each of the independent server systems, in response to comparing the consumer preferences for the user with a database of services and products at each of the independent server systems. The designated specialized services and products are transmitted to the portable data processing system in the transmittable data format, such that a consumer provider from among multiple diverse consumer providers adjusts offerings of services and products provided to a particular user via a portable data processing system according to electronically received consumer preferences for the particular user.
