System and method for facilitating electronic commerce within public spaces
First Claim
1. A system for executing electronic transactions in a public space, the system comprising:
- a replenishment module configured to obtain a metadata media element related to a programming media element output in the public space;
storage containing local content data related to the public space; and
an interactive interface module configured to receive input from a user located in the public space; and
direct transmission of data reflective of the received user input, the metadata, and the local content data.

Abstract
A system and method for facilitating e-commerce for users of particular public spaces. Programming media elements are provided within the public space based upon variables reflecting local conditions, and data or other media related to the programming media elements is provided to users to enhance their opportunity to engage in a purchase of items related to the programming media element. Communications to a system providing the media may be used to complete the transaction, or the user may communicate with a separate commerce center directly to complete the transaction. Such separate communication may take place during or after the time that the user is in the public space. Different types of media elements, related to one another, are output at related times to different devices within a public space. Metadata media related to but distinct from an output programming media element may be independently selected for output to different devices, via different signal paths and protocols. Such metadata may be interacted with by the user to complete the transaction.

14. A system for executing electronic transactions related to media outputs in a public space, the system comprising:
-
a replenishment module configured to obtain metadata related to a programming media element output in the public space;
storage containing local content data related to the public space and reflecting an identity of the public space;
a transmission module configured to transmit information to personal receivers of users in the public space; and
a logic controller module configured to logically associate the metadata with the output programming media element;
prepare the metadata in a data unit adapted to be received by a particular user within the public space, modified by the user, and used by the user to facilitate a transaction related to the programming media element at a location different from the public space; and
direct the transmission module to transmit the data unit to a personal receiver of the user in the public space. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

36. A method of executing electronic transactions related to outputs in a public space, the method comprising:
-
outputting a programming media element in the public space;
receiving data from a user in the public space regarding a transaction related to the output programming media element;
transmitting local content data and metadata related to but distinct from the output programming media element, along with information reflecting at least some of the data from the user, to a commerce center. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38)
