Abstract

A method and system for automated intelligent advertising on wearable devices. The wearable devices includes digital eyewear, clothing, jewelry, watches, etc. Messages sent to an invalid alphanumeric identifier (e.g., WiFi addresses, e-mail address, text message address, social networking identifier, etc.) for a desired network service are returned including a notification that an attempt to connect to the desired network service has failed and also includes electronic advertising information that allows a network device to view and display a retrieved pre-determined advertisement or the dynamically generated advertisement and make a selection input to automatically connect to another network device associated with the retrieved pre-determined or dynamically advertisement to obtain additional electronic advertising information.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein the dynamically generated advertisements include electronic text, audio, video, graphical or multi-media advertisements generated based on a time, a date, a physical location of a specific wearable network device, a type of wearable network device, or payment by an advertiser.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein the physical location of the specific wearable network device is determined with Global Positioning System (GPS) location information, latitude and longitude information, Cartesian coordinate grid information, ellipsoid coordinate grid information, hardware address location information or IP address location of the specific wearable network device.

14. The method of claim 1 wherein the pre-determined advertisements include electronic text, audio, video, graphical or multi-media advertisements previously stored one or more cloud storage objects on the cloud computing network.
