## Abstract

An embodiment of a mobile communication system includes a plurality of mobile units operating within a defined operating area, each of the mobile units having a processor, a memory for storing a mobile unit file structure, an application running on the processor for operating on the mobile unit file structure, and a receiver for receiving on a common receive communication channel data. The mobile communication system further includes a plurality of geolocation markers disposed within the defined operating area, each having a memory for storing geolocation information to define a relative position within the defined operating area, and a geolocation transmitter for transmitting the defined geolocation information on the common receive communication channel, the geolocation transmitter having a geolocation transmit range less than the defined operating area.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mobile network system comprising:
at least one intermediate base station having:
a base station transceiver for communication with a central unit over the first network, the central unit having:
a database having stored therein a data structure, and
a central unit communications transceiver for communicating with a first network; and
a mobile transmitter for transmitting data to a second network in a broadcast mode for receipt by a receiving unit; and
a plurality of mobile units each operating as a receiving unit, each having:
a mobile receiver for receiving broadcast mode data from the base station over the second network; and
a memory for storing the data,
wherein the central unit operates in a broadcast mode to map at least one portion of the data structure to the memory in each of the mobile units through the intermediate base station.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mobile network system of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of mobile units further includes:
a display; and
a processor for running an application to display at least a portion of stored data.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The mobile network system of claim 2, further comprising:
a geolocation marker external to the mobile unit for generating a signal including position information indicating a relative position, which the signal is received by the mobile unit when the mobile unit is proximate to the geolocation marker, the application running on the processor utilizing the relative position during the operation thereof.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The mobile network system of claim 3, wherein a plurality of geolocation markers are provided and the application is operable in at least two modes, one mode associated with a first geolocation marker and a second mode associated with a second geolocation marker, wherein proximity to the first or second geolocation marker determines the mode.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The mobile network of claim 3, wherein the application is operable to display a portion of the stored data associated with the relative position.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The mobile network of claim 3, wherein the application is operable to display a position associated with the relative position on a map.

### Claim 7 (depends on 3)

The mobile network system of claim 3, wherein the position information includes a latitude and longitude associated with the geolocation marker.

### Claim 8 (depends on 3)

The mobile network system of claim 3, wherein the position information includes a location name associated with the geolocation marker.

### Claim 9 (depends on 3)

The mobile network system of claim 3, wherein the mobile transmitter of the intermediate base station is operable to transmit in a broadcast only mode a synchronization signal, thus requiring no communication back to the base station, and wherein the geolocation marker is operable to receive the synchronization signal and transmit in a broadcast only mode the signal for receipt by receiving ones of the plurality of mobile units indicating the relative position in response thereto.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The mobile network system of claim 1, wherein the first network comprises the internet.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The mobile network system of claim 1, wherein the memory of the intermediate base station includes a temporary storage for storing the at least one portion of the data structure therein.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The mobile network system of claim 1, wherein the intermediate base station is operable to continuously transmit in a broadcast mode requiring no response from the receiving one or ones of the plurality of mobile units the portion of the data structure stored within the memory thereof to the plurality of mobile units.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The mobile network system of claim 1, wherein one of the plurality of mobile units is operable to transmit a request message to the central unit via the at least one intermediate base station independent of the broadcast operation of the base station, and receive a response message from the central unit via the at least one intermediate base station in response thereto.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The mobile network system of claim 1, wherein the central unit is operable to map a first portion of the data structure to the memory of a first mobile unit through a first intermediate base station, and map a second portion of the data structure to the memory of a second mobile unit through a second intermediate base station.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The mobile network system of claim 1, wherein a mobile transmitter does not require any back communication link to a receiving unit.

### Claim 16 (depends on 1)

The mobile network system of claim 1, wherein all of the plurality of mobile units receive the broadcast mode data at substantially the same time.

### Claim 17 (depends on 1)

The mobile network system of claim 1, wherein the portion of the data structure is received by substantially all of the mobile units at the same time.
