Abstract: A system and method of interactive, location-based presentation and advertising that enables users with wireless network addressable communications devices to control multi-media content on network addressable screens and enables marketers to track, monitor and respond to users interactions in real time. A Proxy Gateway directs a network addressable client PC, connected to a digital display, to serve local content or pull content from one or more web servers. A wireless, network addressable device, typically a mobile phone, is used to communicate commands to the physically remote Proxy Gateway. The Proxy Gateway bridges between the communications device and the display by interpreting the commands from the communications device, forwarding them to the client PC which may pull content from the appropriate web server, or display native message content.

Abstract: A system permits a user's activity in relation to a physical location to be associated with a virtual community web site and, therefore, with a virtual community created by the web site. Users indicate their presence at, or association with, a physical location by sending messages from their personal communication devices, such as mobile telephones or Internet-connected computers. Users may participate in activities at the locations by sending such messages, accessing location proxy web sites or via virtual communities. An exemplary activity includes a network-connected jukebox. Users may obtain information about music being played on the jukebox. In addition, the jukebox may display information about music being played on other jukeboxes, possibly in other locations.
