Abstract

A process implemented method operating on a processor of a mobile device. The method can include detecting an advertised device identifier and comparing the detected device identifier with device identifiers stored on the mobile device. If there is a match, the match can trigger an event. The event can be requesting content associated with the matched device identifier, receiving the requested content, and rendering the received content. The requested content can be selected to have additional, corresponding content downloaded and rendered.

Claims

1. A process implemented method operating on a processor of a mobile device, the method comprising:

detecting, by the processor, one or more advertised device identifiers;

comparing, by the processor, each detected device identifier with device identifiers stored on the mobile device;

triggering an event, by the processor, in the event one or more detected device identifiers match a stored device identifier.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the detecting is passive detection.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the device identifier is a media access control (MAC) address.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the triggering an event further comprises:

requesting, by the processor, content associated with each matched device identifier from a server;

receiving, by the processor, the requested content; and

rendering, by the processor, the received content.
