In this manner, the device 100, 200 could chronicle a user's status, and could provide different updates to different social networking services. For instance, a user in a coffee shop might want to update their social networking site (such as FACEBOOK) to indicate to users that they are at the coffee shop. Where the user has more than one social networking site, the user might not want this information on a profession networking site (such as LINKED-IN). Conversely, where the user is in a work related activity, such as at a conference, the social template could be configured to provide the same or different updates on the social and professional networking sites. A similar chronicle of the user's status could be provided on TWITTER or other microblog site. In this way, the device 100, 200 would be able to provide constant feeds and updates to automatically enliven a user's social and professional networking site(s) and/or issue microblogs such as tweets according to a status sensed from the various device sensors 110, 120, 130, 140.
In aspects of the invention, even where a user does not have a social networking service and/or microblog set up, the social template could be configured to provide specific information using text, email and/or voice messaging. By way of example, the social template could be designated for emergency situations, and automatically provide information to the police, fire department, family and/or friends. Such communication could be through text messages, emails, computer read messages sent to a voice line, and, where social networking service and/or microblog are set up, through networking service and microblog updates. In this way, the device 100, 200 would be able to summon help in an emergency situation according to a status sensed from the various device sensors 110, 120, 130, 140.
It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that any configuration of the system may be used for various purposes according to the particular implementation. The control logic or software implementing the present invention can be stored on any machine-readable medium locally or remotely accessible to processor. A machine-readable medium includes any mechanism for storing or transmitting information in a form readable by a machine (e.g. a computer). For example, a machine readable medium includes read-only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), magnetic disk storage media, optical storage media, flash memory devices, electrical, optical, acoustical or other forms of propagated signals (e.g. carrier waves, infrared signals, digital signals, etc.).
