Thematic content delivery systems and methods

A thematic content delivery system, comprising:

• an output device;
• a wireless radio frequency (RF) transceiver;
• control circuitry communicably coupled to the wireless RF transceiver and to the output device;
• and
• a storage device communicably coupled to the control circuitry, the storage device including machine-executable instructions that, when executed by the control circuitry transform at least a portion of the control circuitry to thematic content delivery circuitry, the thematic content delivery circuitry to:
• receive an identifier from a portable device via the wireless transceiver;
• determine a theme corresponding to identifier;
• and
• transition content elements presented by the output device to thematic content elements using the determined theme.

A method of providing thematic content to a customer, comprising:

• receiving an identifier from a portable device carried by a customer via a wireless transceiver communicably coupled to thematic content delivery circuitry;
• retrieving, by the thematic content delivery circuitry, information representative of a theme associated with the received identifier;
• converting, by the thematic content delivery circuitry, one or more content elements presented by an output device communicably coupled to the thematic content delivery circuitry to one or more corresponding thematic content elements using the information representative of the theme associated with the received identifier;
• and
• causing the communicably coupled output device to present the one or more corresponding thematic content elements to the customer.

A portable device, comprising:

• an active emitter that generates at least one radio frequency (RF) output signal that includes information representative of a unique identifier that, when received by thematic content delivery circuitry, causes the thematic content delivery circuitry to:
• retrieve information representative of a theme associated with the received identifier;
• convert one or more content elements presented by an output device communicably coupled to the thematic content delivery circuitry to one or more corresponding thematic content elements using the information representative of the theme associated with the received identifier;
• and
• cause the communicably coupled output device to present the one or more corresponding thematic content elements.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that includes machine-executable instructions, that when executed by control circuitry, cause the control circuitry to provide thematic content delivery circuitry, the thematic content delivery circuitry to:

• receive a unique identifier from a portable device carried by a customer via a wireless transceiver communicably coupled to thematic content delivery circuitry;
• retrieve information representative of a theme associated with the received unique identifier;
• convert one or more content elements presented by an output device communicably coupled to the thematic content delivery circuitry to one or more corresponding thematic content elements using the information representative of the theme associated with the received unique identifier;
• and
• cause the communicably coupled output device to present the one or more corresponding thematic content elements to the customer.
