According to one example a method may include transmitting a notification from a mobile station to an advertisement server and receiving at least one advertisement parameter at the mobile station responsive to the transmitted notification. The method may also include performing a modification to a current state of the mobile device based on the at least one advertisement parameter and a distance between the mobile station and at least one establishment registered with the advertisement server. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising: receiving at least one advertisement parameter at a mobile station responsive to a notification received at an advertisement server; and increasing an intensity of a change of audio and video controls of the mobile station based on the at least one advertisement parameter and a distance between the mobile station and at least one establishment registered with the advertisement server. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the notification is sent automatically when the mobile station enters a predetermined geographic domain associated with the at least one establishment. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising performing a modification to a current state of the mobile station, wherein the modification to the current state of the mobile station comprises a change in scent. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising performing a modification to a current state of the mobile station, wherein the modification to the current state of the mobile station comprises a change in temperature. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising decreasing the intensity of the change of audio and video controls of the mobile station as the mobile station moves further from the establishment. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising disabling a modification to a current state of the mobile station when the mobile station exits the predetermined geographic domain. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one establishment is at least one of a retail outlet, a restaurant, a service center and a government entity. ### Claim 8 A mobile station, comprising: a receiver configured to receive at least one advertisement parameter at a mobile station responsive to a notification received at an advertisement server; and a processor configured to perform and increase of an intensity of a change of audio and video controls of the mobile station based on the at least one advertisement parameter and a distance between the mobile station and at least one establishment registered with the advertisement server. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The mobile station of claim 8, wherein the notification is sent automatically when the mobile station enters a predetermined geographic domain associated with the at least one establishment. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The mobile station of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to perform a modification to a current state of the mobile station, wherein the modification to the current state of the mobile station comprises a change in scent. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The mobile station of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to perform a modification to a current state of the mobile station, wherein the modification to the current state of the mobile station comprises a change in temperature. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The mobile station of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to decrease the intensity of the change of audio and video controls of the mobile station as the mobile station moves further from the establishment. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The mobile station of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to disable a modification to a current state of the mobile station when the mobile station exits the predetermined geographic domain. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The mobile station of claim 8, wherein the at least one establishment is at least one of a retail outlet, a restaurant, a service center and a government entity. ### Claim 15 A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform: receiving at least one advertisement parameter at a mobile station responsive to a notification received at an advertisement server; and increasing an intensity of a change of audio and video controls of the mobile station based on the at least one advertisement parameter and a distance between the mobile station and at least one establishment registered with the advertisement server. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the notification is sent automatically when the mobile station enters a predetermined geographic domain associated with the at least one establishment. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to perform a modification to a current state of the mobile station, wherein the modification to the current state of the mobile station comprises a change in scent. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to perform a modification to a current state of the mobile station, wherein the modification to the current state of the mobile station comprises a change in temperature. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to perform decreasing the intensity of the change of audio and video controls of the mobile station as the mobile station moves further from the establishment. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to perform disabling a modification to a current state of the mobile station when the mobile station exits the predetermined geographic domain.
