Abstract

Virtual teleportation systems and methods are disclosed. A remote advertising system includes an identification, location and authentication system associated with a physical venue, including a master sensor node and a plurality of sensors. A cloud-based advertisement service is deployed in the physical venue. An application installed on a mobile device determines a first set of coordinates corresponding to the mobile device location, transmits a first search request for a service, receives and displays a list of services, including the physical venue associated with the master sensor node and the physical venue including a teleportation indicator, and receives an indication that the teleportation indicator is selected. The application determines a second set of coordinates corresponding to the physical venue location, replaces the first set of coordinates with the second set of coordinates, transmits a second search request, and receives and displays a second list based on the second set of coordinates.

Claims

1. A remote advertisement system comprising:

at least one identification, location and authentication system associated with a physical venue, each of the at least one identification, location and authentication systems including;

a master sensor node connected to a broadband network channel,

a plurality of sensors in the physical venue, the plurality of sensors in communication with the master sensor node over a wireless network channel;

a cloud-based advertisement service hosted by the at least one identification, location and authentication systems deployed in the physical venue; and

an application installed on a mobile device connected to a cellular network channel, the application configured to;

determine a first set of coordinates corresponding to a location associated with the mobile device,

transmit a first search request for a service, the first search request including a selected category, receive and display a list of physical venues or related services matching the selected category from the cloud-based advertisement service in response to the first search request, wherein the list includes the physical venue associated with the master sensor node, the physical venue including a teleportation indicator,

receive an indication that the teleportation indicator has been selected,

determine a second set of coordinates corresponding to a location associated with the physical venue,

replace the first set of coordinates with the second set of coordinates,

transmit a second search request for a service, the second search request including the selected category, and

receive and display a second list of physical venues matching the selected category based at least on the second set of coordinates.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the master sensor node further includes a camera.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the camera transmits a live video feed.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein the camera stores one or more panoramic images.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the application includes a list view, a map view, and an augmented reality view.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the augmented reality view is triggered when the mobile device is tilted vertically.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the selected category comprises a category of services.

8. A method comprising:

providing at least one identification, location and authentication system associated with a physical venue, each of the at least one identification, location and authentication systems including;

a master sensor node connected to a broadband network channel,

a plurality of sensors in the physical venue, the plurality of sensors in communication with the master sensor node over the broadband network channel;

providing a cloud-based advertisement service hosted by and associated with the at least one identification, location and authentication systems deployed in the physical venue;

providing an application installed on a mobile device connected to a cellular network channel;

determining, by the application, a first set of coordinates corresponding to a location associated with the mobile device;

transmitting, by the application, a first search request for a service, the first search request including a selected category, receive and display a list of physical venues or related services matching the selected category from the cloud-based advertisement service in response to the first search request, wherein the list includes the physical venue associated with the master sensor node, the physical venue including a teleportation indicator;

receiving, by the application, an indication that the teleportation indicator has been selected;

determining, by the application, a second set of coordinates corresponding to a location associated with the physical venue;

replacing, by the application, the first set of coordinates with the second set of coordinates;

transmitting, by the application, a second search request for a service, the second search request including the selected category; and

receiving and displaying, by the application, a second list of physical venues matching the selected category based at least on the second set of coordinates.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the master sensor node further includes a camera.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the camera transmits a live video feed.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the camera stores one or more panoramic images.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the application includes a list view, a map view, and an augmented reality view.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the augmented reality view is triggered when the mobile device is tilted vertically.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the selected category comprises a category of services.

15. A remote advertisement system comprising:

at least one identification, location and authentication system associated with a physical venue, each of the at least one identification, location and authentication systems including;

a master sensor node connected to a broadband network channel,

a plurality of sensors in the physical venue, the plurality of sensors in communication with the master sensor node over a wireless network channel;

a cloud-based advertisement service hosted by the at least one identification, location and authentication systems deployed in the physical venue;

an application installed on a mobile device connected to a cellular network channel, the application configured to;

determine a first set of coordinates corresponding to a location associated with the mobile device,

transmit a first search request for a service, the first search request including a selected category, receive and display a list of physical venues or related services matching the selected category from the cloud-based advertisement service in response to the first search request, wherein the list includes the physical venue associated with the master sensor node, the physical venue including a teleportation indicator, and

make a reservation with the physical venue;

the at least one identification, location and authentication system further configured to;

receive an indication that the reservation has been made, and

identify and authenticate the mobile device, and

the application further configured to;

receive an indication that the teleportation indicator has been selected,

determine a second set of coordinates corresponding to a location associated with the physical venue,

replace the first set of coordinates with the second set of coordinates,

transmit a second search request for a service, the second search request including the selected category, and

receive and display a second list of physical venues matching the selected category based at least on the second set of coordinates.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the master sensor node further includes a camera.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the camera transmits a live video feed.

18. The system of claim 16, wherein the camera stores one or more panoramic images.

19. The system of claim 15, wherein the application includes a list view, a map view, and an augmented reality view.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the augmented reality view is triggered when the mobile device is tilted vertically.
