Abstract
In at least some examples, a system comprises a first kiosk computer to display first content and to broadcast a first beacon signal, and a second kiosk computer to display second content and to broadcast a second beacon signal. A mobile device is to establish communications with the more proximate of the first and second kiosk computers as determined based on the first and second beacon signals and to cause new content to be provided to the more proximate kiosk computer. The more proximate kiosk computer is to display the new content.
Claims15
A system comprising:
- a first kiosk computer to display first content and to broadcast a first beacon signal;
- a second kiosk computer to display second content and to broadcast a second beacon signal;
- and
- a mobile device to establish communications with the more proximate of the first and second kiosk computers as determined based on the first and second beacon signals and to cause new content to be provided to the more proximate kiosk computer,
- wherein the more proximate kiosk computer is to display the new content.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a first processor;
- a non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium coupled to the first processor and storing executable code;
- a network interface, coupled to the first processor, to receive new commercial content from a computer;
- and
- a display, coupled to the first processor, to display default commercial content and the new commercial content,
- wherein execution of the executable code causes the first processor to:
- display the default commercial content on the display;
- cause a beacon signal to be emitted;
- receive a location descriptor describing access information associated with the computer from a mobile device;
- access the new commercial content from the computer via the network interface using the access information;
- and
- display the new commercial content on the display in lieu of the default commercial content.
9 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving a first beacon signal from a first kiosk computer;
- receiving a second beacon signal from a second kiosk computer;
- using the first and second beacon signals to determine which of the first and second kiosk computers is more proximate to a mobile device;
- providing commercial content to the more proximate kiosk computer;
- causing the more proximate kiosk computer to cease displaying default commercial content;
- and
- causing the more proximate kiosk computer to display the commercial content.
