  • Publication number: 20150248711
    Abstract: An airship or airborne station comprises a gas-containing envelope for containing a lifting gas, solar panels on the envelope for providing electric power to an energy storage system, and an external display screen powered by the energy storage system. This airship or airborne station enables novel methods of using the airship or airborne station to display digital content, to sell or auction ad space on the display screen to the highest bidder, to display information for events, crowds, rescue operations, or to interact digitally with a group of wireless communications devices. Furthermore, the airship or airborne station acts as a communication and media hub for uploading user-generated content, relaying communications from wireless devices, broadcasting content or interactive media.
