Method and system consist of a mobile application installed on a mobile device with internet connection and a geographical positioning device; a remote hosting server configured with software and database; an onsite wireless communication hosting apparatus. The mobile application communicates with the remote hosting server and the onsite wireless communication apparatus. The remote hosting server and onsite wireless communication apparatus communicate and transfer data to one another, the remote hosting server communicates with third party databases via secured access and retrieves location related information requested by onsite users of the mobile device. Web users at anywhere may select a location displayed on a digital map over interface of a web application configured to the remote hosting server; access the same as onsite users; including data entered by location owners, received from third-party databases via secured connection, and uploaded from onsite wireless communication apparatus.

The present disclosure generally relates to systems, devices, and methods for targeted and location-based communications for user devices, location-based devices and web application.
Mobile device users go to visit places such as a business, a facility or an entity with a range of functions and capacities may not be aware of all the information, services, or accurate places of products and live or recorded information or programs provided in, at or close to those places. Therefore there is a need to provide them with automated system, and mobile users of the system don't have to do anything to have it activated and the system will show them what are offered at those places on popup windows when users are within an approximate range of a location; the system would automatically alert them and automatically displays static or live information and or performs multimedia programs, including but not limited to live or pre-recorded audio, and or visual programs. Web users at anywhere may select a location displayed on a digital map over interface of a web application configured to the remote hosting server; access information and multimedia programs as onsite users; including data entered by location owners and users of the locations and collected from other data resources or received from third party database, sent and uploaded from a website of the system or from an onsite wireless communication apparatus. Said onsite communication apparatus directly broadcasts and communicates with mobile software application of the system within a short range and with or without internet or mobile network signals. Users of the system may also communicate with one another or user groups via social media features and functions provided by the system.
An onsite automated information search and multimedia method and system comprises of a mobile software application installed on a mobile device with internet connection and a geographical positioning device; a remote server and database, web applications for web users of the system and for location owners to upload information, and Onsite Wireless Communication Apparatus (OWCA); the remote server comprises a storage media for the user, and provides, independent of the onsite wireless communication apparatus, at least one of a website or downloadable software, and operatively allows the user to enter, upload and update location media contents data, and download and update software of the system. The onsite wireless communication apparatus may be configured to provide functions and feature for users to generate, create information, multimedia programs in a plurality of data formats via a graphical user interface, and store information and multimedia programs in the OWCA; publish and broadcast said information and programs in a plurality of data formats; further OWCA may also be configured to transfer data to and receive data from other multimedia devices and broadcasting information and multimedia programs received from other multimedia devices in a plurality of data formats; still further OWCA may be configured to provide features and functions for users of the apparatus to select and sequence information and programs created or loaded on the apparatus for broadcasting. Mobile users installed with mobile application of the system and web users of the system may receive information and programs broadcasted sequentially. Onsite wireless communication apparatus may also communicate to one another either via said remote server or radio signals from one another within a range.
Objects and advantages together with the operation of the present teachings may be better understood by reference to the following detailed description taken in connection with the following illustrations, wherein:
FIG. 1 illustrates a flow chart that demonstrates logical flows of an onsite sales and commercial search method and system between onsite shoppers and a website with sales' commercials and coupons.
FIG. 2A illustrates a display rendering a home screen of a cellphone with “Shopping Deals” button.
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments of the present teachings, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized, and structural and functional changes may be made without departing from the respective scope of the present teachings. Moreover, features of the various embodiments may be combined or altered without departing from the scope of the present teachings. As such, the following description is presented by way of illustration only and should not limit in any way the various alternatives and modifications that may be made to the illustrated embodiments and still be within the spirit and scope of the present teachings.
As used herein, the words “example” and “exemplary” mean an instance, or illustration. The words “example” or “exemplary” or terms of similar import do not indicate a key or preferred aspect or embodiment. The word “or” is intended to be inclusive rather an exclusive unless context suggests otherwise. As an example, the phrase “A employs B or C,” includes any inclusive permutation (e.g., A employs B; A employs C; or A employs both B and C). As another matter, the articles “a” and “an” are generally intended to mean “one or more” unless context suggest otherwise.
“Logic” refers to any information and/or data that may be applied to direct the operation of a processor. Logic may be formed from instruction signals stored in a memory (e.g., a non-transitory memory). Software is one example of logic. In another aspect, logic may include hardware, alone or in combination with software. For instance, logic may include digital and/or analog hardware circuits, such as hardware circuits comprising logical gates (e.g., AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR, and other logical operations). Furthermore, logic may be programmed and/or include aspects of various devices and is not limited to a single device.
