Abstract

Systems and methods are provided providing information in a defined space. An exemplary method may include receiving data related to one or more individuals in the defined space. The received data may be used for identifying the one or more individuals based on the received data and one or more brands associated with the one or more individuals based on the received data. The method may further include determining the information to display based on the identification of the one or more individuals and the identification of the one or more brands associated with the one or more individuals.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for providing information in a defined space, the method comprising:

receiving, by at least one processor, data related to one or more individuals in the defined space;

identifying, using the at least one processor, the one or more individuals based on the received data;

identifying, using the at least one processor, one or more brands associated with the one or more individuals based on the received data; and

determining, using the at least one processor, the information to provide based on the identification of the one or more individuals and the identification of the one or more brands associated with the one or more individuals.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein providing information includes graphically displaying images on a screen.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, further comprising:

interacting with the graphically displayed images on the screen.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3, wherein the interacting comprises using one or more of social media platforms, motions, voice, texting, touching, NFC, and Bluetooth.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein receiving the data related to one or more individuals in the defined space comprises receiving data related to the one or more individual that is captured by one or more sensors in the defined space.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the one or more sensors include a camera, a microphone, and a motion detector.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6, wherein identifying the one or more individuals based on the received data comprises identifying the one or more individuals by determining one or more of biometric information, demographic information, facial expression, mac address, and WiFi networks saved in a device associated with a respective individual.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7, wherein identifying the one or more brands associated with the one or more individuals based on the received data comprises determining respective brands of products worn, carried by, or discussed by the one or more individuals using data captured by the one or more sensors.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein determining the information to provide further comprises:

determining the information to provide is based additionally on one or more of weather, time of day, and geographical location.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the defined space is an elevator and the information is electronic advertisement.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10, wherein a display device in the elevator is connected to a client on-board server that is connected to a client server disposed in an elevator control room using an electrical power conduit.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 10, wherein a display device in the elevator is connected to a server providing the information using an LTE connection.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing the information to a display device in the defined space for displaying.

14. A system for providing information, the system comprising:

a memory having processor-readable instructions stored therein; and

a processor configured to access the memory and execute the processor-readable instructions, which when executed by the processor configures the processor to perform a method, the method comprising;

receiving data related to one or more individuals in the defined space;

identifying the one or more individuals based on the received data;

identifying one or more brands associated with the one or more individuals based on the received data; and

determining the information to provide based on the identification of the one or more individuals and the identification of the one or more brands associated with the one or more individuals.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein providing information include graphically displaying images on a screen.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, wherein the method further comprises:

interacting with the graphically displayed images on the screen.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the interacting comprises using one or more of social media platforms, motions, voice, texting, touching, NFC, and Bluetooth.

18. The system of claim 14, wherein receiving the data related to one or more individuals in the defined space comprises receiving data related to the one or more individuals that is captured by one or more sensors in the defined space.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the one or more sensors include a camera, a microphone, and a motion detector.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein identifying the one or more individuals based on the received data comprises identifying the one or more individuals by determining one or more of biometric information, demographic information, facial expression, mac address, and Wi-Fi networks saved in a device associated with a respective individual.

21. The system of claim 20, wherein identifying the one or more brands associated with the one or more individuals based on the received data comprises determining respective brands of products worn, carried by, or discussed by the one or more individuals using data captured by the one or more sensors.

22. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, then instructions, when executed by a computer system cause the computer system to perform a method, the method comprising:

receiving data related to one or more individuals in the defined space;

identifying the one or more individuals based on the received data;

identifying one or more brands associated with the one or more individuals based on the received data; and

determining the information to provide based on the identification of the one or more individuals and the identification of the one or more brands associated with the one or more individuals.

23. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 22, wherein providing information include graphically displaying images on a screen.

24. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 23, wherein the method further comprises:

interacting with the graphically displayed images on the screen.

25. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 24, wherein the interacting comprises using one or more of social media platforms, motions, voice, texting, touching, NFC, and Bluetooth.

26. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 22, wherein receiving the data related to one or more individuals in the defined space comprises receiving data related to the one or more individuals that is captured by one or more sensors in the defined space.

27. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 26, wherein the one or more sensors include a camera, a microphone, and a motion detector.

28. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 27, wherein identifying the one or more individuals based on the received data comprises identifying the one or more individuals by determining one or more of biometric information, demographic information, facial expression, mac address, and Wi-Fi networks saved in a device associated with a respective individual.

29. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 28, wherein identifying the one or more brands associated with the one or more individuals based on the received data comprises determining respective brands of products worn, carried by, or discussed by the one or more individuals using data captured by the one or more sensors.
