Abstract

A contextual communication management system/method that coordinates the dissemination of information to/from a mobile communication device (MCD) and the associated mobile communication user (MCU) is disclosed. The system/method allows the state context of a given MCD and its MCU to be used to direct communications with the MCD based on a wide variety of state parameters including but not limited to current geospatial location, geospatial path, path chronology, third party geo-temporal leaseholds, etc. In some preferred embodiments this contextual communication permits targeted advertising to be “pushed” to a MCD in response to a function of the real-time geospatial location and current/past known states of the MCU. A Leasehold Management Coordinator (LMC) permits targeted bi-directional third-party interactions with the MCD based on advertising “leases” of virtual MCD geo-space/time and associated MCU state/context pools.

Claims

9-1. The contextual communication management method of claim 9 wherein said communication between said COM and said COS comprises advertising from said COM to said COS.

17. A contextual communication management system comprising:

(a) Leasehold Management Coordinator (LMC);

(b) Available Advertising States Database (AASD);

(c) Leased Advertising States Database (LASD);

(d) State Tracking Processor (STP);

(e) Advertising Copy Database (ACD); and

(f) PUSH Advertising Processor (PAP);

wherein

said LMC generates and maintains said AASD that comprises the set of available advertising states (AAS) associated with a mobile communication device (MCD) operated by a mobile communication user (MCU);

said LMC generates said LASD comprising a subset of states within said AASD that are leased to an advertising lessee;

said STP communicates the Current Mobile State (CMS) of said MCD and said MCU to said LMC through a communication network;

said LMC compares the CMS to advertising states stored within said LASD, and if a state match is found, said LMC extracts Targeted Advertising Data (TAD) from said ACD and transfers said TAD to said PAP through said communication network; and

said PAP presents said TAD to said MCU via said MCD.

18. The contextual communication management system of claim 17 wherein said AAS is selected from a group comprising:

(1) geographic;

(2) chronological;

(3) travel;

(4) history;

(5) environmental;

(6) economic;

(7) cluster;

(8) response;

(9) inquiry;

(10) purchase;

(11) event; and

(12) profile.

19. The contextual communication management system of claim 17 wherein said MCD is embodied in computerized hardware selected from a group consisting of a mobile phone, smartphone, tablet computer, laptop computer, and automobile computer.

20. The contextual communication management system of claim 17 wherein said STP tracks the GPS location of said MCD.

21. The contextual communication management system of claim 17 wherein said STP tracks the GPS path of said MCD and the associated time at each location along said GPS path.

22. The contextual communication management system of claim 17 wherein said STP tracks the proximity of said MCD to a database of retailers maintained by said LMC.

23. The contextual communication management system of claim 17 wherein said LMC triggers said TAD in response to the proximity of said MCD to a retailer location retrieved from a retailer information database maintained by said LMC.

24. The contextual communication management system of claim 17 wherein said LMC triggers said TAD in response to the time duration of said MCD within a retailer location retrieved from a retailer information database maintained by said LMC.

25. A contextual communication management method, said method operating in conjunction with a contextual communication management system, said system comprising:

(a) Leasehold Management Coordinator (LMC);

(b) Available Advertising States Database (AASD);

(c) Leased Advertising States Database (LASD);

(d) State Tracking Processor (STP);

(e) Advertising Copy Database (ACD); and

(f) PUSH Advertising Processor (PAP);

wherein said method comprises the steps of;

(1) generating and maintaining with said LMC said AASD that comprises the set of available advertising states (AAS) associated with a mobile communication device (MCD) operated by a mobile communication user (MCU);

(2) generating with said LMC said LASD that comprises a subset of states within said AASD that are leased to an advertising lessee;

(3) communicating with said STP the Current Mobile State (CMS) of said MCD and said MCU to said LMC through a communication network;

(4) comparing with said LMC the CMS to advertising states stored within said LASD, and if a state match is found, extracting with said LMC Targeted Advertising Data (TAD) from said ACD and transferring said TAD to said PAP through said communication network; and

(5) presenting said TAD using said PAP to said MCU via said MCD.

26. The contextual communication management method of claim 25 wherein said AAS is selected from a group comprising:

(1) geographic;

(2) chronological;

(3) travel;

(4) history;

(5) environmental;

(6) economic;

(7) cluster;

(8) response;

(9) inquiry;

(10) purchase;

(11) event; and

(12) profile.

27. The contextual communication management method of claim 25 wherein said MCD is embodied in computerized hardware selected from a group consisting of a mobile phone, smartphone, tablet computer, laptop computer, and automobile computer.

28. The contextual communication management method of claim 25 wherein said STP tracks the GPS location of said MCD.

29. The contextual communication management method of claim 25 wherein said STP tracks the GPS path of said MCD and the associated time at each location along said GPS path.

30. The contextual communication management method of claim 25 wherein said STP tracks the proximity of said MCD to a database of retailers maintained by said LMC.

31. The contextual communication management method of claim 25 wherein said LMC triggers said TAD in response to the proximity of said MCD to a retailer location retrieved from a retailer information database maintained by said LMC.

32. The contextual communication management method of claim 25 wherein said LMC triggers said TAD in response to the time duration of said MCD within a retailer location retrieved from a retailer information database maintained by said LMC.
