Abstract

A method, system and computer readable media for dynamically updating current communication information, for enabling access to current communication based upon biometric information and/or for allowing communication information to be associated with biometric information and then allowing this communication information to be provided to desired recipients.

Claims (34)

1. A system comprising:

a processor;

a data bus coupled to the processor; and

a computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer-usable medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:

generating biometric information of a user;

associating the biometric information of the user with contact information of the user, the contact information of the user comprising at least one communication address of the user, the contact information of the user being stored within a central access location; and,

using the biometric information to access the contact information of the user from the central access location; and wherein

the central access location comprises a Social Network; and

the computer executable instructions are further configured for

storing the biometric information of the user and the contact information of the user within the Social Network; and,

allowing access to the contact information of the user within the Social Network via the biometric information.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the computer executable instructions are further configured for

identifying at least one communication device of a user as a current communication device;

dynamically updating the communication address of the user to correspond to the current communication device of the user.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the computer executable instructions are further configured for

providing security setting to limit access to the current communication address to certain desired other users.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the computer executable instructions are further configured for

performing a facial recognition operation using the biometric information; and,

associating the biometric information with the communication address based upon the facial recognition operation.

5. A non-transitory computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:

generating biometric information of a user;

associating the biometric information of the user with contact information of the user, the contact information of the user comprising at least one communication address of the user, the contact information of the user being stored within a central access location; and,

using the biometric information to access the contact information of the user from the central access location; and wherein

the central access location comprises a Social Network; and

the computer executable instructions are further configured for

storing the biometric information of the user and the contact information of the user within the Social Network; and,

allowing access to the contact information of the user within the Social Network via the biometric information.

6. The computer-usable medium of claim 5 wherein the computer executable instructions are further configured for

identifying at least one communication device of a user as a current communication device;

dynamically updating the communication address of the user to correspond to the current communication device of the user.

7. The computer-usable medium of claim 5 wherein the computer executable instructions are further configured for providing security setting to limit access to the current communication address to certain desired other users.

8. The computer-usable medium of claim 5 wherein the computer executable instructions are further configured for

performing a facial recognition operation using the biometric information; and,

associating the biometric information with the communication address based upon the facial recognition operation.
