Abstract

Environmental indicators computed for a particular environment are converted into a transmittable data format each of the environmental indicators is computed by electronic environmental measurement device from among multiple diverse electronic environmental measurement devices. Environmental indicators are transmitted to a portable data processing system associated with a user, which analyzes each of the environmental indicators according to an environment sensitivity profile stored at the portable data processing system for the user. Control signals are determined by the portable computer system for adjusting multiple environment control systems that control the particular environment in response to the analysis, such that a particular environment is temporarily managed by a portable data processing system according to environmental sensitivities of a particular user located within that particular environment.
