Activity computer systems

A system for broadcasting on-duty adventure opportunities among computing devices, the system comprising:

• an adventure management computer system to manage information and reservations for adventure opportunities, the adventure management computer system comprising:
• a frontend (i) to receive requests to activate on-duty adventure opportunities and (ii) to transmit (a) push notifications to selected mobile computing devices related to activated on-duty adventure opportunities and (b) local beacon signal identifiers for mobile-to-mobile beacon signal transmissions for the activated on-duty adventure opportunities,
• a backend (i) to select the mobile computing from among a group of mobile computing devices based, at least in part, proximity of the mobile computing devices to the on-duty adventure opportunities and (ii) to generate the local beacon signal identifiers, and
• a data storage system to store user data and adventure data according to a particular database schema, wherein the user data includes, at least, location information for users associated with the group of mobile computing devices, wherein the adventure data includes, at least, (i) adventure information and (ii) the local beacon signal identifiers;
• a guide mobile computing device to activate an on-duty adventure opportunity and to locally broadcast information for the on-duty adventure opportunity, the guide mobile computing device comprising:
• a display to output user interface control features for activating the on-duty adventure opportunity,
• an input subsystem to receive user input activating the on-duty adventure opportunity,
• a location subsystem to determine a current location of the guide computing device,
• a first wireless communication chipset (i) to transmit a request to activate the on-duty adventure opportunity to the adventure management computer system and (ii) to receive a local beacon signal identifier for the activated on-duty adventure opportunity, and
• a second wireless communication chipset to transmit local beacon signals for detection by nearby mobile computing devices, the local beacon signals including, at least, the local beacon signal identifier for the activated on-duty adventure opportunity;
• and
• a participant mobile computing device (i) to detect the local beacon signals with the local beacon signal identifier for the on-duty adventure opportunity, (ii) to obtain the adventure information for the on-duty adventure opportunity from the adventure management computer system, and (iii) to reserve the on-duty adventure opportunity with the adventure management computer system, the participant mobile computing device comprising:
• a first wireless communication chipset to detect the local beacon signals with the local beacon signal identifier for the on-duty adventure opportunity, and
• a second wireless communication chipset to transmit a request for the adventure information for the on-duty adventure opportunity and to transmit a request to reserve the on-duty adventure opportunity.
