Location Derived Messaging System
First Claim
1. A system for delivering message content from a publisher to a plurality of subscribing and non-subscribing recipients, the system comprising:
- a plurality of dynamic display devices, each of the dynamic display devices including an associated controller module permitting the display of the message content, each controller module further including wireless communication means and means for providing the geospatial location of the associated dynamic display device;
a plurality of first portable display devices associated with the subscribing recipients and a plurality of second portable display devices associated with the non-subscribing recipients, the first portable display devices including means for providing the current geospatial location of the first portable display, the second portable display devices including wireless communication means adapted to communicate with the wireless communication means of a controller module, whereby the controller module can identify nearby second portable display devices;
a network for delivering the message content in a plurality of data formats to the plurality of dynamic display devices and the plurality of first portable display devices;
a central system connected to the network and allowing the publishers to create message content to be distributed over the network, the central system further permitting the creation of rules for selectively delivering the message content to dynamic display devices and first portable display devices based upon the geospatial locations of the dynamic display devices and first portable display devices;
subscription means for permitting subscribers to create rules for selectively delivering message content to the subscriber'"'"'s first portable display device based upon geospatial locations.
