Abstract

The present invention utilizes an application which is loaded onto the mobile devices of attendees who will be attending festivals, concerts, etc, where the large crowds attending the event will create wireless and mobile network congestion. The application will be preloaded with a plurality of presentations which the presenter will utilize during the event to enhance the experience for the attendee. Each presentation will have a triggering mechanism encoded in the app which will initiate the presentation to begin and will synchronize the presentation on the phone with event. In addition to displaying preloaded presentations to the attendees at crowded events, the application can also track the activities of the attendees at the event to see what portions of the events they attended and when, and display real time text messages on the screen of the phone.

Claims (11)

1. A method of communicating with mobile devices that are unable to connect with a wireless network connection at an event venue due to network congestion comprising:

providing a software application to be uploaded to a mobile device to event attendees prior to the event, said software application configured to execute specific instructions when the device detects a wireless network with a specifically configured network identifier;

erecting a plurality of emitting stations at the event venue and transmitting wireless network signals;

configuring the wireless network signals so that attendee mobile devices can only detect network identifiers transmitted from the emitting stations and cannot establish a connection to the wireless network;

using a controlling station to create unique network identifiers to be transmitted by the emitting stations that contain executable instructions that can be deciphered by the software application uploaded to the attendees mobile devices;

activating the application software on the event attendees mobile devices when the attendees arrive at the venue;

during the event, transmitting a first network identifier from the emitting stations configured with a first set of instructions for the software application installed on the mobile devices of the event attendees to execute which allows the event promoter to make a first communication with the attendees via their mobile devices;

during the event, using the controlling station to change the first network identifier to a second network identifier from the emitting stations, where the second network identifier is configured with a second set of instructions for the software application installed on the mobile devices of the event attendees to execute which allows the event promoter to make a second communication with the attendees via their mobile devices.

2. The method of communicating with mobile devices that are unable to connect with a wireless network connection at an event venue of claim 1 wherein said mobile devices have presentation files loaded in the mobile devices prior to attending the event and said first and second network identifiers further comprise instructions for said application to access and display the presentation on the screen of the mobile devices.

3. The method of communicating with mobile devices that are unable to connect with a wireless network connection at an event venue of claim 1 wherein said network identifier further comprises an instruction detailing the location of the emitting station where the wireless signal is emitted from and said application logging the time which the mobile device is in range of the emitting station.

4. The method of communicating with mobile devices that are unable to connect with a wireless network connection at an event venue of claim 1 wherein said first and second network identifiers further comprise an instruction detailing text to be displayed on the screen of the mobile device from and said application displaying the desired text on the screen of the mobile device.
