Abstract

A method for providing location and promotional information to a visitor to a building complex in an interactive environment where said visitor may select either from a variety of pre-defined search parameters or select a specific location on a dynamic computer-generated rendering of the building complex.

Claims

1. A method of disseminating location and promotional information associated with specific locations within a building complex, comprising:

Providing a visitor to a building complex with at least one display of a dynamic computer-generated rendering of said complex and a display of at least one list containing a plurality of pre-defined search parameters;

Allowing said visitor to either select a series of parameters from said pre-defined search parameters, or to select a series of specific locations on said rendering;

Associating said selections of said visitor with one or more locations within said complex and promotional information associated with said one or more locations;

Displaying said one or more locations graphically on said rendering, along with said promotional information associated with said one or more locations;

Allowing said visitors to receive said location and said promotional information in either printed or electronic format; and

Allowing a client to update said promotional information displayed for said visitor.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said rendering of said complex is three-dimensional.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said rendering of said complex is two-dimensional.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said pre-defined search parameters include categories.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said pre-defined search parameters include keywords.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said pre-defined search parameters include promotions.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said pre-defined search parameters include individual locations.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein said pre-defined search parameters include individual names of tenants of said complex.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein said promotional information includes building complex emergency evacuation information.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein computer terminals remotely located from a master database and connected to said master database via a network permit a client to update said promotional information displayed for said visitor.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein said network is a wide area network.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein said network is a local area network.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein said network is the Internet.

14. A method of disseminating location and promotional information associated with specific locations within a building complex, comprising:

Identifying a visitor to a building complex using a unique identifying credential;

Displaying to said visitor a dynamic computer-generated rendering of said building complex and at least one list containing a plurality of pre-defined search parameters, said pre-defined search parameters being selected for said visitor on prior search parameter selections stored in a master database;

Allowing the visitor to select from said plurality of pre-defined search parameters or to select a specific location on said rendering of said building, and storing said selection;

Associating said selection of said visitor with one or more individual locations within said building complex and with promotional information associated with said one or more individual locations;

Displaying said one or more locations graphically on said computer-generated rendering of said complex, along with said promotional information associated with said one or more locations

Providing a means for said visitors to receive said location and said promotional information in either printed or electronic format; and

Allowing a client to update said promotional information displayed for said visitor.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein said rendering of said complex is three-dimensional.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein said rendering of said complex is two-dimensional.

17. The method of claim 14, wherein said pre-defined search parameters include categories.

18. The method of claim 14, wherein said pre-defined search parameters include keywords.

19. The method of claim 14, wherein said pre-defined search parameters include promotions.

20. The method of claim 14, wherein said pre-defined search parameters include individual locations.

21. The method of claim 14, wherein said pre-defined search parameters include individual names of tenants of said building complex.

22. The method of claim 14, wherein said promotional information includes building complex emergency evacuation information.

23. The method of claim 14, wherein computer terminals remotely located from a master database and connected to said master database via a network permit said person other than said visitor to update said promotional information displayed for said visitor.

24. The method of claim 23, wherein said network is a wide area network.

25. The method of claim 23, wherein said network is a local area network.
