Abstract

A system and method for exchanging data in a controlled network provides each participant in an event with a data storage medium that can be accessed throughout the event in order to readily share data among the participants. Scan data for the data storage medium of each of the participants is recorded and relayed to an event host in real time. Additionally, the scan data is graphically organized and distributed to the participants following the event to facilitate continual contact between the participants. A user account accessed on a user controlled device is authenticated through the controlled network, such that event based advertisements determined by the event host can be delivered to the user controlled device. Authentication of the user account and distribution of each of the event based advertisements is facilitated by inserting either an authentication source code or advertisement source code into a webpage source code.

Claims

1. A method for exchanging data in a controlled network includes the steps of:

providing a plurality of user accounts and a user controlled device for each of the user accounts;

receiving registration data for each of the user accounts;

generating a data storage medium for each of the user accounts, wherein the registration data is embedded in the data storage medium for each of the user accounts;

authenticating the user controlled device for each of the user accounts;

sending a plurality of event based advertisements to the user controlled device for each of the user accounts;

receiving scan data from the user controlled device for each of the user accounts, wherein the scan data is for the data storage medium of each of the user accounts;

graphically organizing the scan data into a graphical display for each of the user accounts; and

sending the graphical display to the user controlled device for each of the user accounts.

2. The method for exchanging data in a controlled network as claimed in claim 1 further includes the steps of:

providing a specific account and other accounts from the user accounts;

receiving the scan data from the user controlled device for the specific account, wherein the scan data is for the data storage medium of each of the other accounts;

graphically organizing the scan data into the graphical display for the specific account; and

sending the graphical display to the user controlled device for the specific account.

3. The method for exchanging data in a controlled network as claimed in claim 1 further includes the steps of:

providing a specific account and other accounts from the user accounts;

receiving the scan data from the user controlled device for the other accounts, wherein the scan data is for the data storage medium of the specific account;

graphically organizing the scan data into the graphical display for the other accounts; and

sending the graphical display to the user controlled device for the other accounts.

4. The method for exchanging data in a controlled network as claimed in claim 1 further includes the steps of:

retrieving a user class from the registration data for each of the user accounts; and

embedding the user class in the data storage medium for each of the user accounts, wherein the user class restricts access to information embedded in the data storage medium for each of the user accounts.

5. The method for exchanging data in a controlled network as claimed in claim 1 further includes the steps of:

providing a specific account from the user accounts;

receiving a webpage request from the user controlled device for the specific account, wherein the webpage request corresponds to a webpage;

retrieving the webpage and computationally integrating an authentication pop-up into the webpage;

sending the webpage to the user controlled device for the specific account;

receiving authentication credentials for the specific account from the user controlled device for the specific account; and

verifying the authentication credentials for the specific account.

6. The method for exchanging data in a controlled network as claimed in claim 5 further includes the steps of:

providing a webpage source code for the webpage;

providing an authentication source code for the authentication pop-up; and

computationally integrating the authentication source code into the webpage source code.

7. The method for exchanging data in a controlled network as claimed in claim 5 further includes the steps of:

removing the authentication pop-up from the webpage,

if the authentication credentials for the specific account is verified;

storing the authentication credentials in a browser cookie; and

sending the browser cookie to the user controlled device for the specific user account.

8. The method for exchanging data in a controlled network as claimed in claim 7 further includes the steps of:

setting an expiration time for the browser cookie.

9. The method for exchanging data in a controlled network as claimed in claim 1 further includes the steps of:

providing a specific account from the user accounts;

receiving a webpage request from the user controlled device for the specific account, wherein the webpage request corresponds to a webpage;

retrieving the webpage;

selecting a specific advertisement from the event based advertisements;

computationally integrating the specific advertisement into the webpage; and

sending the webpage to the user controlled device for the specific account.

10. The method for exchanging data in a controlled network as claimed in claim 9 further includes the steps of:

providing an advertisement index file;

retrieving advertisement parameters from the advertisement index file; and

selecting the specific advertisement according to the advertisement parameters.

11. The method for exchanging data in a controlled network as claimed in claim 10 further includes the steps of:

providing an advertisement tag for each of the event based advertisements; and

comparing the advertisement tag for the specific advertisement with the advertisement parameters.

12. The method for exchanging data in a controlled network as claimed in claim 9 further includes the steps of:

providing a user class for each of the user accounts; and

selecting the specific advertisement according to the user class of the specific account.

13. The method for exchanging data in a controlled network as claimed in claim 9 further includes the steps of:

providing a webpage source code for the webpage;

providing an advertisement source code for each of the event based advertisements; and

computationally integrating the advertisement source code for the specific advertisement into the webpage source code.

14. A method for exchanging data in a controlled network includes the steps of:

providing a plurality of user accounts and a user controlled device for each of the user accounts, wherein the user accounts includes a specific account and other accounts;

receiving registration data for each of the user accounts;

generating a data storage medium for each of the user accounts, wherein the registration data is embedded in the data storage medium for each of the user accounts;
