System and method for printing location-based, customized data

A method for providing customized, location-based content, comprising:

• receiving a transmission from a mobile client device when the mobile client device determines that the mobile client device is within a first threshold distance of a proximity beacon,
• wherein the mobile client device has access to a network and is associated with a user profile,
• wherein the mobile client device has instructions stored thereon to cause the mobile client device to communicate with a server,
• wherein the server is on the network and has access to a database,
• wherein the database includes location data associated with the proximity beacon, and
• wherein the location data associated with the proximity beacon includes a location-based artifact;
• and
• providing the customized, location-based content by the mobile client device and the server, cooperatively,
• wherein the customized, location-based content:
• is based on the location-based artifact and the user profile,
• includes a heat map that provides information regarding population densities within a venue, and
• is printable by one or more multifunctional products, and
• wherein the heat map indicates alternate routes between locations on the heat map when common routes between locations on the heat map have high traffic levels.

A mobile client computing device, comprising:

• a network interface configured to communicate with:
• a multifunctional product;
• a proximity beacon;
• and
• a server on a network that has access to a database,
• wherein the database includes location data associated with the proximity beacon, and
• wherein the location data includes a location-based artifact;
• a memory with instructions stored thereon;
• and
• a processing device, wherein when the processing device executes the instructions, the processing device causes the mobile client device to:
• communicate with the multifunctional product and the server;
• and
• determine when the mobile client device is within a first threshold distance of the proximity beacon,
• wherein the server and the mobile client device cooperatively provide print data to the multifunctional product when the mobile client device determines that the mobile client device is within the first threshold distance,
• wherein the print data:
• is based on the location-based artifact and the user profile,
• includes a heat map that provides information regarding population densities within a venue,
• is transmitted to the multifunctional product, and
• is printed by the multifunctional product, and
• wherein the heat map indicates alternate routes between locations on the heat map when common routes between locations on the heat map have high traffic levels.
