System and method for supporting mobile unit connectivity for computer server to process specific orders
First Claim
1. A communication system supporting the processing of communications from a mobile unit comprising:
- a home network associated with a first venue and having a home agent coupled to a computer server, said home agent and said computer server processing communications received from said mobile unit,a transceiver unit coupled to said home agent and said computer server for receiving and transmitting communications to said mobile unit, and,a first order processing unit and a second order processing unit located at a first order processing location and a second order processing location, respectively, said computer server coupled to said first processing unit and said second processing unit, respectively,said computer server capable of receiving a first location specific order communication from said mobile unit through said transceiver unit, said first location specific order communication confirming the purchase of an item by the user of the mobile unit to be delivered to a first specific location,said computer server determines the location of the mobile unit and determines whether said first or second order processing unit is the most proper unit to process the first location specific order communication,said computer server selecting said first or second order processing unit based on said determination of most proper order processing unit to process the first location specific order communication, andsaid computer server transmits said first location specific order communication to the selected said first or second order processing unit so said first location specific order communication can be processed at the proper order processing location relative first specific location.

Abstract
The present invention is an applications gateway that offers multiple functions and features for specific geographic venue locations, while providing easy access to advertising, purchasing, and redemption opportunities for that specific geographic venue location. Venue locations can be stadiums, shopping malls, amusement parks, open air spaces where people can congregate, and/or buildings, which most often require the presence of a concentration of people. The venue location may correlate to the location of the hand-held mobile unit or it may be a remote geographic venue location not near the location of the hand-held mobile unit. Access to the gateway application is through a hand-held mobile unit, which can include a mobile phone, smartphone device, or portable computer having a wireless radio transmission connection. (e.g. iPhone, Droid, iPad, Slate, etc.).
