1. A method comprising:
- listening, by an “
app”
(application) on a wireless communication device, for a plurality of short-range wireless communications;
receiving a short-range wireless communication from a short-range wireless communication transceiver, the short-range wireless communication including a signal that includes an identification code, the wireless communication device located at a geographic location within a space defined by an effective reception range of the short-range wireless communication transceiver;
processing the signal by the application on the wireless communication device, the processing including identifying, based at least in part on the identification code, a retrieval location of information associated with the signal, wherein the processing of the signal is performed exclusively by the wireless communication device and independently of any networks; and
retrieving the information from the retrieval location using the wireless communication device,wherein one or both of the wireless communication device and the short-range wireless communication transceiver are located on a mobile object.

Abstract
According to an aspect, a signal is received from a geographic location that is positioned within a space defined by an effective reception range of a short-range wireless communication transceiver. The signal is received from the short-range wireless communication transceiver and the signal includes an identification code. The receiving is by a wireless communication device located within the space. The signal is processed on the wireless communication device. The process includes identifying, based at least in part on the identification code, a retrieval location of information associated with the signal. The processing of the signal is performed exclusively by the wireless communication device and independently of any networks. The information is retrieved from the retrieval location using the wireless communication device.
