Abstract

The present invention is of system for publishing digital content. The system includes a device for displaying digital content and a remote server that is in communication with the device. The remote server is configured for determining a geo-location of the device; and communicating digital data to the device according to a parameter relating to individuals being in proximity to a user operating the device.

Claims

1. A system for publishing digital content comprising:

(a) a device dynamically displaying a digital content element;

(b) a remote server being in communication with said device, said remote server being configured for;

(i) determining a geo-location of said device; and

(ii) communicating said digital content element to said device, wherein a type and/or a content of said digital content element is determined according to a parameter relating to a plurality of individuals being in proximity to said device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein said parameter is selected from one or more of a number of said individuals, an age of said individuals, an activity of said individuals, interests of said individuals, preferences of said individuals and buying patterns of said individuals.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein said device includes a mobile device connected to a wearable display for displaying said digital content to said plurality of individuals being in proximity to said device, said mobile device including a mounting system directing said wearable display away from a wearer of said wearable display so a digital content element available on said wearable display is accessible by individual ones of said plurality of individuals.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein said mobile device is a cellular telephone.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein said device is carried by a user.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein said device is removeably mounted to a body of said user.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein said device is mounted on said body using a lanyard.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein said device is mounted on a vehicle.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein said remote server determines a geo-location of said device based on location data communicated from said device to said remote server.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein said location data is GPS, cellular Fi location data.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein said device includes an OLED or e-ink display.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein said digital data includes text, image and/or video content.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein said text, image and/or video content includes advertising content.

14. The system of claim 1 wherein said digital content element includes a machine-readable portion.

15. The system of claim 14 wherein said machine-readable portion includes a multidimensional barcode.

16. A system for publishing digital content comprising:

(a) a display displaying digital content;

(b) a storage device storing a digital content element;

(c) a device determining a geo-location of said display; and

(d) a software application for;

(i) using said geo-location to determine a parameter relating to individuals being in proximity to said display; and

(ii) determining digital content for display according to said parameter.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein said parameter includes one or more of a number of said individuals, an age of said individuals, an activity of said individuals, interests of said individuals, preferences of said individuals and buying patterns of said individuals.

18. The system of claim 16, wherein the system includes a mobile device connected to a wearable display for displaying said digital content.

19. The system of claim 16, wherein said display is mounted on a body of said user.

20. The system of claim 16, wherein said display is mounted on a vehicle.

21. A computer-implemented method of presenting digital content, comprising:

a) porting a portable electronic device including a display;

b) determining, using a computing system, a parameter relating to a plurality of individuals proximate to said display;

c) adding, using said computing system, digital content to said display responsive to said parameter established from a geo-location of said portable electronic device; and

thereafter

d) presenting said digital content to said plurality of individuals using said display.

22. The method of claim 21 wherein said digital content includes a machine-readable portion, further comprising:

e) scanning, using a second portable electronic device operated by a particular one individual of said plurality of individuals, said machine-readable portion from said display.

23. The system of claim 22 wherein said machine-readable portion includes a multidimensional barcode.
