  • Exemplary applications of this invention include (but are not limited to) :
  • the record of a real-estate agent's travels through a tour of open houses wherein that agent exchanges information with computers at the open houses using a computer readable/writable medium such as a floppy disk (e.g., an IDisk which is an Identification Disk and/or Information Disk) which he carries with him.
  • a computer readable/writable medium such as a floppy disk (e.g., an IDisk which is an Identification Disk and/or Information Disk) which he carries with him.
  • the information exchange transfers the agent's name and other of his relevant contact information to the open house computer (e.g., laptop) and certain pieces of information about the open house may be selected by the agent to be transferred to his IDisk.
  • the Mobile Web is also able to link in with information stored onto the IDisk through systems other than the exhibitor booths (which are detailed below) , message center, or a documentation sales center, etc. For example, messages retrieved at the message center are stored onto the IDisk and linked in as part of the Mobile Web.
  • the IDisk initially contains a Mobile Web Home Page (the MW Home Page) from which booths visited and information gathered is accessed. In essence, this home page on the IDisk is dynamically modified as the attendee updates information on the IDisk.
  • MW Home Page Mobile Web Home Page
  • the attendee collects information from each visited exhibitor by inserting his IDisk into the exhibitor's laptop computer.
  • the laptop contains software plus exhibitor-specific information which the attendee selects to be loaded onto his IDisk.
  • This information is placed onto the IDisk in such a way as to dynamically create a Mobile Web or MW, (i.e., a set of Web pages or various links between them) .
  • This dynamic creation of the MW is based upon the attendee's actions, namely: a) which booths are visited b) what data he selects from the exhibitor
  • the MW creation is also based upon the attendee's preferences, such as keywords that he has loaded onto his IDisk; based on these preferences, the system automatically loads exhibitor information that is relevant to these key words.
  • the actions that are taken in creation of the MW are: Selected data (selected either explicitly by the attendee via options shown on the exhibitor's computer screen, or implicitly, via key word relevancy) is copied from the computer onto the IDisk.
  • All the information collected at a particular booth is dynamically updated on the IDisk which is accessed from the Web page contains and/or created specific to that exhibitor.
  • Each exhibitor's Web page is linked not only up to the Mobile Web Home Page but also down to each individual piece of data collected onto the IDisk from that exhibitor.
  • Other dynamic links may link to data not stored on the IDisk itself but that exist on the World Wide Web which can be accessed through the appropriate Universal Resource Locator (URL) . All the Mobile Web information stored on the IDisk is retrieved through a Web Browser.
  • the attendee may then view the data he has collected on a computer as follows:
  • the IDisk is inserted into the computer's floppy drive ;
  • the user may choose to copy the IDisk contents directly to his hard drive;
  • the collected data on the IDisk may then be read as follows: i) Off-line: Without a network connection to the (World Wide Web) , the user uses all the functionality built into the browser to view his collected data which was created at the trade show in Web-readable form.
  • the user interface is identical to that of a Web page.
  • the selected data from the exhibitor looks just like a Web page produced by the exhibitor. All links are active (click on a menu item which was copied from the exhibitor's computer and the user jumps to a page which displays the text or graphics that he had copied at the show).
