Media content selection and presentation control
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a content polling message from a participant mobile device within a participation region of a wireless network;
retrieving, by a computing device, an attribute for the participant mobile device based upon the content polling message, the attribute associated with a media content item stored at the participant mobile device or previously accessed via the participant mobile device;
responsive to retrieving the attribute, storing the attribute in a memory device or electronically transmitting a content selection request that indicates the attribute to a content selection module;
obtaining a wireless signal strength measured at a wireless access point of a plurality of mobile devices;
determining whether each wireless signal strength is greater than a threshold wireless signal strength;
identifying a first mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices as a non-participant mobile device responsive to determining that the wireless signal strength of the first mobile device is not greater than the threshold wireless signal strength; and
identifying a second mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices as the participant mobile device responsive to determining that the wireless signal strength of the second mobile device is greater than the threshold wireless signal strength.

Abstract
An identifier is received from each participant mobile device of a plurality of participant mobile devices within a participation region of a wireless network via a wireless access point. One or more attributes for each participant mobile device are retrieved based upon the identifier received from that participant mobile device. The one or more attributes indicate one or more media content items stored at that participant mobile device or previously accessed via that participant mobile device. An indication of the one or more attributes for each participant mobile device is output. Media content is selected based on the one or more attributes indicated for each participant mobile device. The media content is presented, for example, within the participation region.

14. A computing system, comprising:
-
an electronic device configured to; receive a content polling message from a participant mobile device within a participation region of a wireless network; retrieve an attribute for the participant mobile device based upon the received content polling message, the attribute associated with a media content item stored at the participant mobile device or previously accessed via the participant mobile device; output an indication of the attribute; obtain a wireless signal strength measured at a wireless access point of a plurality of mobile devices; determine whether each wireless signal strength is greater than a threshold wireless signal strength; identify a first mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices as a non-participant mobile device responsive to determining that the wireless signal strength of the first mobile device is not greater than the threshold wireless signal strength; and identify a second mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices as the participant mobile device responsive to determining that the wireless signal strength of the second mobile device is greater than the threshold wireless signal strength. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An apparatus, comprising:
-
means for retrieving an attribute for a participant mobile device within a participation region of a wireless network based upon a content polling message received from the participant mobile device, the attribute associated with a media content item stored at the participant mobile device or previously accessed via the participant mobile device; means for outputting an indication of the attribute; means for obtaining a wireless signal strength measured at a wireless access point of a plurality of mobile devices; means for determining whether each wireless signal strength is greater than a threshold wireless signal strength; means for identifying a first mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices as a non-participant mobile device responsive to determining that the wireless signal strength of the first mobile device is not greater than the threshold wireless signal strength; and means for identifying a second mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices as the participant mobile device responsive to determining that the wireless signal strength of the second mobile device is greater than the threshold wireless signal strength. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
