Abstract
Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to transmit applications to mobile devices. The applications may operate to enable the reception of source and advertising information from a wireless transmitter. Reception may occur at a wireless receiver in a mobile device, as part of a single transmission and without prior solicitation by the mobile device. The source information can identify a source associated with the advertising information. The advertising information is stored in the mobile device when the source information and/or distance information associated with the source information comply with conditions included in a storage policy associated with the mobile device. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor embedded in one of a building or a sign, an authentication key from a governing body for at least one of source information or advertising information;
- and
- transmitting, in a single transmission by a wireless transmitter embedded in the one of the building or the sign, the source information and the advertising information to a wireless receiver in a mobile device without prior solicitation by the mobile device, the single transmission including:
- the authentication key for the at least one of the source information or the advertising information from the governing body;
- identification of a source corresponding to the advertising information in the source information;
- and
- an encryption of the advertising information to be stored in the mobile device when the source information and location information corresponding to the source information comply with conditions included in a storage policy of the mobile device that references the governing body, the conditions specify that the mobile device is to refrain from storing a duplicate of the advertising information when another transmission from the source is received.
A method comprising:
- receiving a request, at a server to download an advertising application from a mobile device having a wireless receiver;
- and
- transmitting the advertising application to the mobile device, the advertising application having an authentication key from a governing body and instructions which, when executed by the mobile device, cause the mobile device to:
- receive an unsolicited single transmission from a wireless transmitter controlled by a processor, both the wireless transmitter and the processor being embedded in a building or a sign, the single transmission having source information and advertising information including:
- the authentication key from authenticating at least one of the source information or the advertising information to the governing body;
- an identification of a source corresponding to the advertising information in the source information;
- and
- an encryption of the advertising information;
- compare the source information and location information corresponding to the source information to conditions included in a storage policy of the mobile device;
- and
- store the advertising information, in the mobile device, when the source information and the location information comply with the conditions, wherein the conditions include to store information only when accompanied by a valid authentication key by the governing body specified in the storage policy and to refrain from storing a duplicate of the advertising information when another transmission from the source is received.
A system comprising:
- a first processor and instructions that, when executed by the first processor, cause the node to obtain an authentication key from a governing body for at least one of source information or advertising information corresponding to a physical site that is at least one of a building or a sign, the first processor being embedded in the at least one of the building or the sign;
- a wireless transmitter at the physical site to, in a single transmission, transmit, unsolicited, the wireless transmitter being embedded in the at least one of the building or the sign, source information corresponding to advertising information and the advertising information to at least one mobile device, the single transmission including:
- an authentication key for authenticating at least one of the source information or the advertising information to a governing body;
- an identification of a source corresponding to the advertising information in the source information;
- and
- an encryption of the advertising information;
- and
- the at least one mobile device having:
- a wireless receiver to receive the single transmission;
- and
- a second processor to:
- compare the source information and location information corresponding to the source information to conditions included in a storage policy of the mobile device;
- and
- store the advertising information when the source information and the location information comply with the conditions, wherein the conditions include to store information only when accompanied by a valid authentication key by the governing body specified in the storage policy and to refrain from storing a duplicate of the advertising information when another transmission from the source is received.
