ARCHITECTURE FOR CREATING, ORGANIZING, EDITING, MANAGEMENT AND DELIVERY OF LOCATIONALLY-SPECIFIC INFORMATION TO A USER
First Claim
1. A live multimedia tour for display to a user, comprising:
- a graphical map having a plurality of trigger points plotted thereon, each trigger point of the plurality of trigger points representing a geographical area of any size and shape;
a condition monitor monitoring a plurality of trigger conditions associated with said plurality of trigger points, said plurality of trigger conditions representing values determinable by a location-sensing device and a timing device, said plurality of trigger conditions being used to monitor the user'"'"'s locational and temporal states while on the live multimedia tour; and
a user interface presenting a plurality of media lists to the user upon satisfaction of at least one trigger condition of said plurality of trigger conditions, wherein the plurality of trigger conditions represent one or more of the following values;
location of the user;
speed of the user;
height of the user;
velocity of the user;
rate of incline or decline of the user;
time spent inside the geographical area represented by a trigger point of the plurality of trigger points;
time spent since activating one of the plurality of trigger conditions;
direction of the user; and
acceleration of the user.

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.

5. A method for a user to create a live multimedia tour on a location-sensing device, comprising:
-
traveling with the device; creating a trigger point when the user is in a desired location; associating a plurality of trigger conditions with the trigger point, said plurality of trigger conditions representing values determinable by the location-sensing device and a timing device, the plurality of trigger conditions being used to monitor the user'"'"'s locational and temporal states while on the live multimedia tour; and associating a media file with the trigger point, said media file to be presented to the user when the user enters the trigger point or at least one trigger condition of said plurality of trigger conditions is satisfied, wherein the plurality of trigger conditions represent one or more of the following values; location of the user; speed of the user; height of the user; velocity of the user; rate of incline or decline of the user; time spent inside the geographical area represented by a trigger point of the plurality of trigger points; time spent since activating one of the plurality of trigger conditions; direction of the user; and acceleration of the user. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)

8. A method for distributing a live multimedia tour, comprising:
-
creating a multimedia tour comprising a plurality of trigger points, each trigger point of the plurality of trigger points being associated with a plurality of trigger conditions, wherein each trigger condition of said trigger conditions represents values determinable by a location-sensing device and a timing device, the trigger conditions being used to monitor the user'"'"'s locational and temporal states while on the live multimedia tour; storing the multimedia tour on a server connected to a network; and transferring the multimedia tour to a user on the network, wherein the plurality of trigger conditions represent one or more of the following values; location of the user; speed of the user; height of the user; velocity of the user; rate of incline or decline of the user; time spent inside the geographical area represented by a trigger point of the plurality of trigger points; time spent since activating one of the plurality of trigger conditions; direction of the user; and acceleration of the user. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
