System and Method for Monitoring Mobile Media

A public exposure monitored communications hub system comprising:

• a publically accessible access point (AP), configured for attachment to a mobile platform, selected from the group consisting of an IEEE 803.11 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), an IEEE 803.15 Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN), and both WLAN and WPAN;
• a communications subsystem, configured for attachment to the mobile platform, having an interface to transceiver AP communications with a central control server;
• a communication gauge having an output to supply a measurement of communication statistics;
• and,
• a handicap subsystem having an output to modify a communication value associated with AP enablement in response to the communication statistics.

A system for directing mobile media platforms to predicted vacant parking locations, the system comprising:

• a media subsystem, configured for attachment to a mobile platform, selected from the group consisting of a media projection subsystem, a publically accessible access point (AP) selected from the group consisting of a wireless local area network (WLAN), wireless personal area network (WPAN), or both WLAN and WPAN devices, or both an AP and a media projection subsystem;
• a location subsystem to determine a geographic location of the mobile platform;
• a parking vacancy subsystem having an output to supply predicted vacant parking locations;
• and,
• a wireless communications subsystem having an interface to receive verification information including the mobile platform geographic location and to receive predicted vacant parking locations.

A system for the measurement of display presentation efficacy, the system comprising:

• a media projection subsystem, configured for attachment to a mobile platform;
• a camera to record images of human beings interacting with media projected by the media projection subsystem and an output to supply the images;
• a facial direction detection subsystem having an interface to accept images from the camera, recognize faces from camera images, and supply a measurement of the duration of time the faces are directed to the media projection subsystem;
• and,
• an efficacy monitoring subsystem having an interface to accept the duration of time measurements and an interface to supply a determination of media effectiveness in response to the duration time measurements.
