The second computing device 8 may comprise a central processing unit (CPU) 11 and a memory device 6. The memory device 6 may be any memory device known to a person of ordinary skill in the art such as, inter alia, a hard drive, a magnetic computer disc, a compact disc (CD), flash memory, random access memory (RAM), electrically erasable programable read only memory (EEPROM), etc. The memory device 6 may comprise a memory capacity in a range of about 2 kilobytes (KB) to about 64 megabytes (MB). The second computing device 8 may be, inter alia, a smart card. The smart card may be, inter alia, a contact smart card requiring physical connection or a radio frequency (RF) smart card having wireless capabilities. The first computing 4 device may be, inter alia, a computer, a personal computer (PC), a laptop computer, a personal video recorder (PVR), an audio device (radio, automobile radio, compact disc player/recorder, etc), a video device (video cassette recorder, digital video disc player/recorder, television, etc), etc. The first computing device 4 may comprise data within a first database 109 stored in the memory device 9.
Alternatively, the data within the first database 109 may be located in a remote location from the first computing device 4 and the data within the first database 109 may be accessed through, inter alia, a network link, an internet link, an ethernet link, a telephone link, a wireless link, etc. The first computing device 4 creates user profile data for a specific user. The second computing device 8 electrically coupled and/or mechanically coupled to the first computing device 4 produces a copy of the user profile data and stores the copy in the memory device 6. The second computing device 8 comprising the user
profile data is electrically and/or mechanically removed from the first computing device 4 and then electrically and/or mechanically coupled to the third computing device 10 (e.g., as shown in FIG. 2). The third computing device 10 may comprise data within a second database 112. The data within the second database 112 may be stored in the memory device 12. Alternatively, the data within the second database 112 may be located in a remote location from the third computing device 10 and the data within the second database 112 may be and accessed through, inter alia, a network link, an internet link, an ethernet link, a telephone link, a wireless link, etc. The data within the first database 109 and the data within the second database 112 may comprise, inter alia, audio data, video data, text data, etc. The data within the first database 109 and the data within the second database 112 may comprise, inter alia, data relating to hotels/motels (e.g., rates, availability, etc), data relating to rental cars (e.g., rates, availability, radio settings, temperature settings etc), data relating to climate control (e.g., preferred temperature settings), data relating to airlines (e.g., rates, availability, etc), etc. The user profile data comprises user preferences in regards to the data within the first database 109 and is used by the second computing device 8 to access and/or use the data within the second database 112. For example, the user may have a PVR (e.g., first computing device 4) at a specific location (e.g., at home). The user specifies that the user prefers a specific type of television (TV) show (e.g., science fiction) and prefers to watch at certain hours. The PVR generates the user profile based on the user specifications in relation to categories in the first database 109. The user profile is transferred or copied on to a smart card (e.g., second computing device 8). The user may now take the smart card to a remote location ( i.e., a hotel room) and couple the smart card to a second PVR (e.g., the third computing device 10). The user profile data will access appropriate content (e.g., TV show) and the smart card will control a display of the appropriate content based on the user profile data.
Alternatively, the user profile data may access appropriate content (e.g., TV show) and the smart card will recommend specified content to the user based on the user profile data. Applications for a portable user profile are unlimited and may include, inter alia, recommending or accessing specified entertainment content on a PVR, automotive applications (radio settings, temperature settings, seat settings), TV or monitor settings
(e.g., contrast, brightness, etc), environmental settings in a home (e.g., heat, light, appliance, etc), making airline or hotel reservations, etc. The user profile data may be
generated any number of ways including, inter alia, explicitly, implicitly, and collaboratively. In order to generate the user profile data explicitly, user input data (e.g, user specified settings, preferences, etc) is entered through the input device 15 to the first computing device 4 and the user profile data is created based on the user input data such as described in: Method and Apparatus for Generating Recommendation scores using Implicit and Explicit Viewing Preferences, U.S.P.T.O Serial No. 09/666401, filed 09/20/2000, incorporated herein in it's entirety. In order to generate the user profile data implicitly, user history data (e.g, past user settings, preferences, etc) are stored on the first computing device 4 and the user history data is created based on the user history data such as described in: Method and Apparatus for Recommending Television Programming using Decision Trees, U.S.P.T.O Serial No. 09/466406, filed 12/17/1999, incorporated herein in it's entirety. In order to generate the user profile data collaboratively, user input data (e.g, user specified settings, preferences, etc) is entered through the input device 15 to the first computing device 4 and geographical user data (e.g, users is specific geographical area settings, preferences, etc) are stored on the first computing device 4 such as described in: Four- Way Recommendation Method and System Including Collaborative Filtering, U.S.P.T.O Serial No. 09/953385, filed 09/10/01, incorporated herein in it's entirety. A combination of the user input data and the geographical user data are used to create the user profile. The second computing device 8 may recommend to the user specified data within the second database 112 (e.g., TV shows, specified settings, hotel preferences, etc) based on the comparison of the user profile data to the second database 112. Alternatively, the second computing device 8 may process and/or use specified data (e.g., change settings, make reservations, enable specific TV shows or movies, etc) within the second database 112 based on the comparison of the user profile data to the second database 112. The first database 109 may be equivalent to the second database 112.
As an alternative embodiment, the user profile may be generated directly on the second computing device 8 (e.g., as shown in FIG. 4) instead of the first computing device 4 thereby eliminating a need to copy the user profile data from the first computing device 4 to the second computing device 8. All other features of the alternative embodiment are equivalent to the aforementioned first embodiment.

Alternatively, in step 32 the first database 109 may be stored in a remote location and may be accessed through, inter alia, a network link, an internet link, an ethernet link, a telephone link, a wireless link, etc. In step 34 a choice is made to generate the user profile data implicitly, explicitly, or collaboratively. If in step 34 the choice is made whether to generate the user profile data implicitly, the user profile data is generated implicitly in step 38 based on past user history data. In step 40 the user profile data is copied onto the second computing device 8. In step 42 the second computing device 8 is electrically and/or mechanically removed from the first computing device 4 and the second computing device 8 is next electrically and/or mechanically coupled to the third computing device 10 in step 44. In step 46 data within the second database 112 are compared to the user profile data for a possible match of user preferences. If in step 34 the choice is made to generate the user profile data explicitly, the user profile data is generated explicitly based on user input data in step 62. In step 64 the user profile data is copied onto the second computing device 8. In step 68 the second computing device 8 is electrically and/or mechanically removed from the first computing device 4 and the second computing device 8 is electrically and/or mechanically coupled to the third computing device 10 in step 70. In step 72 the data within the second database 112 is compared to the user profile data for a possible match of user preferences. If in step 34 the choice is made to generate the user profile data collaboratively, in step 50. In step 52 the user profile data is copied onto the second computing device 8. In step 54 the second computing device 8 is electrically and/or mechanically removed from the first computing device 4 and the second computing device 8 is electrically and/or mechanically coupled to the third computing
device 10 in step 56. In step 58 the second database 112 is compared to the user profile data for a possible match of user preferences.
