Abstract

A method for enabling the targeted presentation of a multimedia experience in locations typically limited to the traditional print media to a potential viewer of multimedia advertising comprising accessing a selection of multimedia advertisements; accessing a selection of additional content; choosing a subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements; choosing a subset from the selection of additional content; and, presenting the subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements and the subset from the selection of additional content on a multimedia display.

Claims

1. A method for targeting presentation to a potential viewer of multimedia advertising comprising the following steps:

accessing a selection of multimedia advertisements;

accessing a selection of additional content;

choosing a subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements;

choosing a subset from the selection of additional content; and

,

presenting the subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements and the subset from the selection of additional content on a multimedia display.

2. The method as recited in

claim 1

wherein the step of choosing a subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements is a function of location.

3. The method as recited in

claim 1

wherein the step of choosing a subset from the selection of additional content is a function of location.

4. The method as recited in

claim 1

wherein the selection of additional content is a function of the subset of multimedia advertisements.

5. The method as recited in

claim 4

wherein the step of choosing a subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements is a function of an external event.

6. The method as recited in

claim 5

wherein the external event is a scheduled event.

7. The method as recited in

claim 5

wherein the external event is a stimulus created by the potential viewer.

8. The method as recited in

claim 1

wherein the step of choosing a subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements is a function of date and time.

9. The method as recited in

claim 1

wherein the step of choosing a subset from the selection of additional content is a function of date and time.

10. A system for targeting presentation to a potential viewer of multimedia advertising comprising:

a display having a series of logical partitions;

a computer coupled to the display;

a video storage device coupled to the computer and the display;

a communication device coupled to the computer;

wherein the computer accesses a selection of multimedia advertisements and accesses a selection of additional content, chooses a subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements and chooses a subset from the selection of additional content and presents the subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements and the subset from the selection of additional content on the display in the series of logical partitions.

11. The system as recited in

claim 10

wherein choosing a subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements is a function of location.

12. The system as recited in

claim 10

wherein choosing a subset from the selection of additional content is a function of location.

13. The system as recited in

claim 10

wherein the selection of additional content is a function of the subset of multimedia advertisements.

14. The system as recited in

claim 13

wherein choosing a subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements is a function of an external event.

15. The system as recited in

claim 14

wherein the external event is a scheduled event.

16. The system as recited in

claim 14

wherein the external event is a stimulus created by the potential viewer.

17. The system as recited in

claim 10

wherein choosing a subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements is a function of date and time.

18. The system as recited in

claim 10

wherein choosing a subset from the selection of additional content is a function of date and time.

19. A system for targeting presentation to a potential viewer of multimedia advertising comprising:

a multimedia display having a series of logical partitions;

a computer coupled to the display;

a video storage device coupled to the computer and the display;

a communication device coupled to the computer;

wherein the computer accesses a selection of multimedia advertisements and accesses a selection of additional content, chooses a subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements and chooses a subset from the selection of additional content and presents the subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements and the subset from the selection of additional content on the display in the series of logical partitions, choosing a subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements is a function of location, time and date, choosing a subset from the selection of additional content is a function of location, time and date.

20. The system as recited in

claim 19

wherein choosing a subset from the selection of multimedia advertisements is a function of an external event.
