View Patent ↗A computer system that communicates with information indicative of a lighting show, and provides information to users in the audience to allow their phones to be interactive with the show. In one embodiment a lighting designer or show promoter can provide information R that extends the lighting effect on to the user's phone. In another embodiment, the show promoter may provide information indicative of the venue. The information can be location specific, for example information that is provided to a specific client device can be based on the specific location of the client device. This can provide location sensitive lighting information, or maps, or in seat specific information about the venue.
1. A computer system, comprising:
an input that receives information for a public event at a venue;
a processor that determines locations of a plurality of client computers at the venue, and controls wirelessly communicating with said plurality of client computers; and
a wireless output part, creating a wireless output stream
directed to a plurality of different client computer devices,
and based on a control by said processor, where said processor creates said wireless stream based on said information and based on said locations of said client computers, where said wireless stream provides location interactive information to the different computer devices about said public event, where the location interactive information is information related to a lighting show that is being currently carried out at the venue, and where a first client computer device at a first location receives different information than a second client computer device at a second location.
2. The system as in claim 1 , wherein said location interactive information includes map information about the venue based on the client's current location.
3. The system as in claim 1 , wherein said location interactive information is lighting information, where different client computer devices a different location receive different parts of the lighting information.
4. The system as in claim 1 , wherein said information about said public event is a part of a lighting show, related to a lighting show being carried out at said public event.
5. The system as in claim 4 , wherein said lighting show is an individual pixel intended to be displayed along with multiple different individual pixels of other clients.
6. The system as in claim 4 , wherein said lighting show is a magnified view of a stage to be displayed on the user's individual client.
7. The system as in claim 1 , wherein said information about said public event is a map of the public venue.
8. The system as in claim 1 , wherein said information about the public event includes information about ordering items.
9. The system as in claim 1 , wherein said computer receives information from an individual ticket.
10. A method of operating a computer system, comprising:
receiving information about a public event at a venue;
in a computer, determining locations of a plurality of client computers at the venue, and controlling wirelessly communicating with said plurality of client computers;
creating a wireless output stream at said event directed to a plurality of different client computer devices and based on a control;
creating said wireless stream based on said information and based on said locations of said client computers, where said wireless stream provides location interactive information to the different computer devices about said public event, where the location interactive information is information related to a lighting show that is being currently carried out at the venue, and where a first client computer device at a first location receives different information than a second client computer device at a second location.
11. The method as in claim 10 , wherein said event information is local map information about the venue based on the user's current location.
12. The method as in claim 10 , wherein said event information is lighting information related to a lighting show that is being currently carried out at the venue, where different client computer devices at different locations receive different parts of the lighting information.
13. The method as in claim 12 , wherein said lighting information is formed of multiple pixels, and the user receives only a single pixel.
14. The method as in claim 12 , wherein said lighting show is a magnified view of a stage to be displayed on the user's individual client computer.
15. The method as in claim 10 , wherein said entering comprises entering individual information from a ticket.
16. The method as in claim 15 , wherein said entering comprises scanning a code from a ticket.
