Abstract

A system and method for enabling and improving user engagement through responsive iterative and cyclic interaction using mobile devices, for the creation of, response to, or alteration of, notifications on public display screens. The invention includes computer hardware and software for implementing, by delivering notification content, notification type, and means of notification, an iterative or cyclic response by users responsive to sensed or observed real world events and computer system events. The inventions also includes systems for synthesizing user interaction originating on groups of mobile devices in order to, through responsive cyclic iterative interaction, create, respond to, or alter, at least two separate and separately sourced simultaneously occurring notifications on a public display screen or screens. The invention further relates to a system and method on computer hardware and software system display or notification means for enabling and improving user situational awareness, cognition, and response, by recognizing and delivering, for a response option, cyclic, iterative responses through to notifications on a display.

Claims

1. A system for enabling a notification visible on a display to be generated or altered by a mobile networked device, said apparatus comprising:

a video display, placed adjacent to a spectator area and oriented toward said spectator area;

a mobile application, configured for distribution to a plurality of mobile networked devices, said mobile application comprising computer executable instructions configured to elicit data relating to personal notification preferences of each mobile networked device owner and recording said data relating to personal notification preferences in a personal notification module on each of said plurality of mobile networked devices;

at least one microprocessor, operably linked to said video display, further comprising

a personal notification monitoring module that is configured to identify personal notification modules on detected mobile networked devices within a predefined distance of the video display and receiving personal notification preferences from each of said personal notification preference modules;

memory containing stored available notification data a notification generation module programmed to select first notification data from said stored available notification data based on said personal notification preferences;

a notification module, said notification module programmed to send said appropriate notification data to said video display; and

a communications unit, linked to one or more of said at least one microprocessors and configured to receive communications from said detected mobile networked device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile application distribution system is further configured to distribute mobile applications that include a response module configured to display the category of result vector associated with said first notification data.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the notification generation module is programmed to select said first notification data based on a plurality of personal notification preferences that may be received from a plurality of detected mobile networked devices.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the mobile application distribution system is further configured to distribute mobile applications that include a response module configured to display a category of result vector associated with said first notification data and wherein the notification generation module is further programmed to select said first notification data based on a plurality of result vector selections received from a plurality of detected mobile networked devices.

5. The system of claim 4 wherein the notification module is configured to generate a plurality of notifications, each of said plurality of notifications configured to simultaneously display on said video display.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the notification generation module is further configured to send at least one notification to at least one of said plurality of detected mobile networked devices.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the at least one microprocessor comprises a plurality of microprocessors, at least one of said plurality of microprocessors located in a first location local to the video display and at least one of said plurality of microprocessors located at a second location not local to the video display, wherein the notification generation module is present on a microprocessor located at the second location not local to the video display.

8. The system of claim 1, further comprising a local input receiver unit configured to receive input data from a user viewing the display screen from the spectator area.

10. The system of claim 1 further comprising a decision support system configured to generate a decision support system event, said decision support system event selected from the group consisting of an action option and meta data.

11. The system of claim 1 further comprising a rules system governing the transmission of notifications to the plurality of mobile networked devices to which said mobile application has been distributed.

16. The system of claim 1, further comprising a mobile application distribution system, configured to distribute said mobile application to a plurality of mobile networked devices.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the event sensor is further configured to sense the presence of a mobile networked device containing a specified mobile application.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the event sensor is further configured to receive personal notification preferences from said mobile networked device.

9. The system of claim 9, further comprising an input receiver unit configured to receive input data from a user viewing the display screen from a second location external to the video display.

22. A computerized system for generating improved notifications relating to communication content, said system comprising:

(i) a sensing network including an event sensor, said event sensor configured to sense events relating to communication content;

(ii) a sensed-event processing system configured to append data to a sensed event to be related to communication content;

(iii) a human-machine interface;

(iii) at least one communication unit for providing communication amongst the human-machine interface, the sensing network, and the sensed event processing system;

(iv) a notification generation system configured to generate a notification comprising content and encapsulating user-selectable action options within said notification, said notification configured to be delivered through a notification unit to a user, wherein the notification generation system is calibrated to use the sensed event meta data generated by the sensing network when generating said notification.

23. The system of claim 22, wherein the category of result vector associated with the selection of each one of a user'"'"'s possible subsequent responses to one or more action options is displayed with the notification data

24. The system of claim 22, wherein the event sensor is selected from the group consisting of visual, voice, touch, gesture, or haptic recognition, sensors.

26. The system of claim 22, further comprising a video screen placed in a public location within sensory range of the event sensor.

27. The system of claim 22, further comprising a decision support system connected to the sensed-event processing system and configured to generate a decision support system event from sensed event meta data.

28. The system of claim 27 wherein the decision support system event is an action option.
