Abstract: A system and method for effectively providing user information from a user device includes an event server that provides restricted access to various types of event content information and services related to a particular event or user community. A wireless portable user device may provide an access code to the event server at a particular event location through a wireless base station that is coupled to a local area network. A system user may thereby utilize the user device to access the event server for downloading appropriate event content information and related community services. The user device may provide one or more different types of profiles and other user feedback to the event server to thereby enable the event server to effectively associate the user device with appropriate event content or other types of related community services.

Abstract: A system and method for selectively providing information to a user device includes an event server that provides restricted access to various types of event content information and services related to a particular event. A wireless portable user device may provide an access code to the event server at a particular event location through a wireless base station that is coupled to a local area network. A system user may thereby utilize the user device to access the event server for downloading appropriate event content information and related services until the foregoing access code expires.

Abstract: A system and method to support electronic gaming in an electronic network includes an event server that provides restricted access to various types of game services. One or more system users may utilize corresponding wireless portable user devices for connecting to the event server to thereby gain access to the foregoing game services as game participants. The system users may thereby utilize the user devices to access the event server for accessing appropriate gaming services and related information. In addition, a source system user may utilize a source user device to perform a transfer procedure for transferring ownership rights of an electronic certificate related to the electronic gaming to a target system user through a target user device. The foregoing transfer procedure may be conducted through the event server, or may occur directly from the source user device to the target user device.

Abstract: A system and method for streaming video information to a user device includes an event server that provides restricted access to various types of event content information and services related to a particular event. A wireless portable user device may provide an access code to the event server at a particular event location through a wireless base station that is coupled to a local area network. A system user may thereby utilize the user device to access the event server for downloading appropriate event content information and related services. The event content information may include a direct broadcast of streaming video produced by a video service provider from local video cameras positioned at the particular event. In addition, the event content information may include a plurality of event broadcasts that may be generated by the event server after receiving and storing program information from the local video cameras, the Internet, and various external program sources.
