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 (13)

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

providing a plurality of mobile devices, said mobile devices having a screen and capable of detecting a unique wireless signal with an application loaded on the mobile device;

providing at least one emitting station which transmits at least one unique wireless network signal over a range of area identified with a unique network identifier, said network signal functionality being limited to transmitting a unique network identifier and said network signal not allowing mobile devices to connect to the network signal;

encoding said unique wireless network signals with at least two sets of instructions in the network identifier;

said mobile devices detecting the encoded unique wireless signals, but not establishing a connection to the network signal, when the mobile devices are located in the range of the emitting stations;

said application loaded on the mobile device recognizing the encoded wireless network signal, decoding the instructions encoded in the network identifier and executing instructions while the mobile device has not established a connection to the encoded wireless network signal.

2. The method of communicating with mobile devices that are unable to connect with a wireless network connection of claim 1 wherein said mobile devices have presentation files loaded in the mobile devices and said encoded network identifier further comprises an instruction 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 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 of claim 1 wherein said network identifier further comprises 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.

5. The method of communicating with mobile devices that are unable to connect with a wireless network connection of claim 1 wherein said emitting station is a Wi-Fi router.

6. The method of communicating with mobile devices that are unable to connect with a wireless network connection of claim 5 wherein said network identifier is a Service Set Identifier.

7. The method of communicating with mobile devices that are unable to send or receive data through a wireless network connection of claim 1 wherein said emitting station is a short-wavelength UHF radio wave emitter.

8. The method of communicating with mobile devices that are unable to connect with a wireless network connection of claim 1 wherein said emitting station is a cellular network transmitter.
