Abstract

A method of transmitting dynamic content to a mobile device includes: storing content in a memory of a kiosk deployed in a facility; receiving, via an input device of the kiosk, a command to present the a portion of the content; responsive to receiving the command: controlling an output device of the kiosk to present the portion of the content; and transmitting, to a routing server via a network, a preconfigured identifier of the kiosk and an identifier of the portion of the content, for subsequent retrieval by a mobile computing device.

Claims (36)

1. A method of transmitting dynamic content to a mobile device, comprising:

receiving, via an input device of a kiosk deployed in a facility, a command to present a portion of content associated with the kiosk;

responsive to receiving the command, at the kiosk:

controlling an output device of the kiosk to present the portion of the content; and

transmitting, to a routing server via a network, a preconfigured identifier of the kiosk and an identifier of the portion of the content, for subsequent retrieval by a mobile computing device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

subsequent to the transmitting, providing an identifier of the routing server to the mobile computing device.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein providing an identifier of the routing server comprises generating a machine-readable indicium via the output device, for capture by the mobile computing device.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein providing an identifier of the routing server comprises transmitting the identifier of the routing server to the mobile computing device via a short-range communications interface of the kiosk.

5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

at the routing server, receiving the preconfigured kiosk identifier and the content portion identifier; and

storing the content portion identifier in association with the kiosk identifier.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

at the routing server, receiving a client request from the mobile computing device containing the routing server identifier and the kiosk identifier;

responsive to receiving the client request, retrieving the content portion identifier corresponding to the kiosk identifier; and

transmitting the content portion identifier to the mobile computing device, for retrieval of the content portion by the mobile computing device from a content server identified by the content portion identifier.

7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

at the routing server, deleting the content portion identifier subsequent to transmitting the content portion identifier to the mobile computing device.

8. A system for transmitting dynamic content to a mobile computing device, comprising:

a routing server;

a kiosk deployed in a facility, the kiosk associated with content and having an input device and an output device; the kiosk configured to:

receive, via the input device, a command to present a portion of the content;

responsive to receiving the command, control the output device to present the portion of the content; and transmit, to the routing server via a network, a preconfigured identifier of the kiosk and an identifier of the portion of the content, for subsequent retrieval by the mobile computing device.

9. The system of claim 8 , the kiosk further configured to:

subsequent to the transmitting, provide an identifier of the routing server to the mobile computing device.

10. The system of claim 9 , the kiosk configured to provide the identifier of the routing server by generating a machine-readable indicium via the output device, for capture by the mobile computing device.

11. The system of claim 9 , the kiosk configured to provide the identifier of the routing server by transmitting the identifier of the routing server to the mobile computing device via a short-range communications interface of the kiosk.

12. The system of claim 9 , the routing server configured to:

receive the preconfigured kiosk identifier and the content portion identifier; and

store the content portion identifier in association with the kiosk identifier.

13. The system of claim 12 , the routing server further configured to:

receive a client request from the mobile computing device containing the routing server identifier and the kiosk identifier;

responsive to receiving the client request, retrieve the content portion identifier corresponding to the kiosk identifier; and

transmit the content portion identifier to the mobile computing device, for retrieval of the content portion by the mobile computing device from a content server identified by the content portion identifier.

14. The system of claim 12 , the routing server further configured to:

delete the content portion identifier subsequent to transmitting the content portion identifier to the mobile computing device.
