Apparatus, Devices and Methods for Content Distribution and Access via Object-Motion Tracking Using a Wireless Communications Network

A system comprising,

• a master component, a plurality of relay nodes, and a mobile device comprising at least one application running on a processor of the mobile device, wherein the master component comprises one or more applications running on at least one processor of a remote server, wherein each relay node comprises a portable wireless communication device, wherein the master component, the plurality of relay nodes and the mobile device are communicatively coupled using a wireless communications protocol;
• distributing the plurality of relay nodes in a physical environment;
• the master component providing location information, wherein the location information comprises an association of each relay node of the plurality of relay nodes with a known location in the physical environment;
• the mobile device entering the physical environment, wherein at least one node of the plurality of relay nodes transmits a notification to the at least one application;
• in response to receiving the notification the at least one application periodically transmitting a signal via the mobile device, wherein the mobile device signal comprises a unique mobile device identification number, wherein one or more relay nodes of the plurality of relay nodes detects the mobile device signal, wherein the detecting includes identifying the unique mobile device identification number and determining relative distance from the one or more relay nodes to the mobile device;
• the one or more relay nodes of the plurality of relay nodes transmitting detected mobile device information to the master component along with corresponding unique identification numbers of the one or more relay nodes, wherein the detected mobile device information comprises the unique mobile device identification number and the determined relative distance;
• the master component using the location information and the detected mobile device information to determine a location of the mobile device in the physical environment.
