CONTENT SELECTION USING PERIODICALLY CHANGING INFORMATION
A method of providing electronic content to an electronic device by determining that an electronic device meets a proximity threshold with respect to a location. Electronic content is selected based upon periodically changing information about the location or based on one or more probable demographics of people present at the location determined by the periodically changing information about the location. The selected electronic content is then transmitted to the electronic device.
1 . A method of providing electronic content to an electronic device, comprising:
determining an electronic device meets a proximity threshold with respect to a location;
selecting electronic content based upon periodically changing information about the location; and
transmitting the selected electronic content to the electronic device.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining one or more probable demographics of people present at the location based on the periodically changing information about the location;
wherein the selecting of the electronic content is further based upon the one or more determined probable demographics.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the determining of the one or more probable demographics of people is further based upon the location.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting of the electronic content is further based upon the location.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting of the electronic content is further based upon at least one of a date, a month, a day of the week and a time of day.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting of the electronic content is further based upon a vendor or brand name associated with the location.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting of the electronic content is further based upon a vendor or brand name not associated with the location.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the periodically changing information about the location includes a current event at or proximate to the location.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the current event includes at least one of a sporting event, a music concert, a convention, and a professional conference.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the proximity threshold is met only by the electronic device being at the location.
11 . A method of providing electronic content to an electronic device, comprising:
determining an electronic device meets a proximity threshold with respect to a location;
determining one or more probable demographics of people present at the location based on periodically changing information about the location;
selecting electronic content based upon the one or more determined probable demographics; and
transmitting the selected electronic content to the electronic device.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the determining of the one or more probable demographics of people is further based upon the location.
13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the selecting of the electronic content is further based upon the periodically changing information about the location.
14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the selecting of the electronic content is further based upon the location.
15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the selecting of the electronic content is further based upon at least one of a date, a month, a day of the week and a time of day.
16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the selecting of the electronic content is further based upon a vendor or brand name associated with the location.
17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the selecting of the electronic content is further based upon a vendor or brand name not associated with the location.
18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the periodically changing information about the location includes a current event at or proximate to the location.
19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the current event includes at least one of a sporting event, a music concert, a convention, and a professional conference.
20 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the proximity threshold is met only by the electronic device being at the location.
