Architecture for creating, organizing, editing, management and delivery of locationally-specific information to a user in the field
First Claim
1. A multimedia tour for display to a user, comprising:
- a plurality of trigger points plotted on a digitized graphical map, each trigger point representing a geographical area of any size and shape;
a plurality of trigger conditions associated with said trigger points, said trigger conditions representing values determinable by a location-sensing device; and
a plurality of media lists, said media lists displayed to the user upon satisfaction of said trigger conditions.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a dynamic content design, delivery and distribution software architecture that enables a centrally located designer, using a graphical interface, to create, edit, manage, and organize a matrix of trigger points that are plotted on a computerized map of geographical space. Each of these trigger points may be tagged with content, which is then relayed to a dynamic client device that is remotely located. The client device then displays the content to a remote user in a manner predetermined by the centrally located designer, the content varying based on feedback provided by the client device. The system and methods disclosed enable a centrally located designer to assume the role of an automated tour designer. As such, designers can compile a variety of different tours, each aimed at users with particular preferences. The architecture further offers a means to publish tour scripts for public consumption. The system is sufficiently flexible for use in any instance in which a user requires dynamic content, which is displayed contingent on any number of conditions.
