Abstract

A method and system for providing targeted advertisement and informational announcements with selected ringtones to consumers over a wireless communications network. In one embodiment, local advertisers register to iphoneappdata.com, when communication devices are in close proximity, as a consumer enters a predetermined GPS longitude and latitude coordinate that is near the location of the advertiser, the wireless network delivers a message and corresponding ringtone to the wireless device which is specified by the local advertiser. In a further embodiment, each of the messages stored in the database is also associated with one or more sub advertiser codes so unique advertisements can be sent from multiple chain advertisers. A follow-up advertisement can be sent after a pre-established waiting period and database checks are performed to determine if the same advertisement was sent out previously or within a specified period.

Claims

1. A new and improved system for targeted advertisement communications compromising:

a. Capturing the wireless device current GPS longitude and latitude position.

b. Matching the wireless device GPS longitude and latitude position with that of a selected advertiser within a predefined range of miles, feet, or inches.

c. Sending to the wireless device the assigned advertisement message.

d. Sending to the wireless device a sound assigned to the advertisement message as an indicator to the user that they entered a predefined range of a selected advertiser.

e. Keeping record of previous sent messages to a wireless device so specific targeted advertisements are not repeated while the wireless device is within the predefined range of miles, feet, or inches.

2. The new and improved targeted advertisement communications system as described in claim 1, wherein the ability to send back to the wireless device a map of the location of the targeted advertisement.

3. The new and improved targeted advertisement communications system as described in claim 1, wherein the ability to send back to the wireless device a coupon from the targeted advertiser.
