CONTEXTUALLY AWARE BILLBOARD DISPLAY DEVICES USING WIRELESS BEACON DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a notification module comprising at least one hardware processor that accesses an identifier for a user operating a vehicle at a first location, wherein the identifier is received from a wireless beacon associated with the first location based on a first connection using short range wireless communications between a communication device of the user and the wireless beacon, accesses location context information for the first location based on the first connection, determines vehicle information specific to the vehicle for the user using the identifier, and determines a notification for the user using the location context information and the vehicle information;
a database stored to a non-transitory memory that stores the identifier, the location context information, and the notification; and
a network interface component that receives the identifier and communicates the notification to at least one display device for display of the notification to the user while the user is associated with the first location.

Abstract
There are provided systems and methods for contextually aware billboard display devices using wireless beacon device communications. A service provider may utilize one or more wireless notifications at or nearby a location to connect with a communication device of a user as the user moves into proximity of the wireless beacon'"'"'s short range wireless communications at or nearby the location. Once connected, the wireless beacon may provide an identifier for the user to the service provider. The service provider may utilize context information for the location to determine needs or interests of the user and/or a vehicle for the user. The service provider may generate a notification, such as an advertisement, that may be communicated to the user through billboards that the user may pass. The notifications may be for car maintenance conditions or vehicle user requirements. The notifications may also be for nearby merchants and available items.

16. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a network interface component, an identifier for a user operating a vehicle at a location, wherein the identifier is received from a first wireless beacon located at the location based on a first connection using short range wireless communications between a communication device of the user and the first wireless beacon; accessing, by a notification module comprising at least one hardware processor, location context information for the location based on the first connection; accessing, by the notification module, vehicle information specific to the vehicle for the user using the identifier; determining, by the notification module, a notification for the user using the location context information and the vehicle information; and communicating, by the network interface component, the notification to at least one display device for display of the notification to the user while the user is associated with the location. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable modules which, in response to execution by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving, by a network interface component, an identifier for a user operating a vehicle at a location, wherein the identifier is received from a wireless beacon established at or nearby the location based on a first connection using short range wireless communications between a communication device of the user and the wireless beacon; accessing, by a notification module comprising at least one hardware processor, location context information for the location based on the first connection; accessing, by the notification module, vehicle information specific to the vehicle for the user using the identifier; determining, by the notification module, a notification for the user using the location context information and the vehicle information; and communicating, by the network interface component, the notification to at least one display device for display of the notification to the user while the user is associated with the location.
