Abstract: Alert and media systems and methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method comprises providing content to a site comprising the steps of managing, by a network operations center module, a plurality of content files comprising at least one alert file and at least one multimedia file, delivering the content file from the network operations center module to a communicatively connected network server module associated with the site based on one or more site-specific rules enforced by the network operations center module, and providing, by the network server module, the content file to a communicatively connected network interface module configured to receive the content file and convert the content into a format suitable for display on a communicatively connected display device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for mobile payment using dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signals. A mobile device equipped with at least a speaker and an input is used to connect to a server on the mobile network. Upon authentication of a user of the mobile device, the server generates the payment key, translates the key to DTMF signals, and plays the DTMF signals over the speaker of the mobile device. The user holds the mobile device speaker close to a microphone of a DTMF scanner at a POS terminal. The DTMF scanner includes logic that extracts the payment key from the DTMF signals, and the POS terminal uses the payment key to bill the user. The POS terminal transmits the bill with the payment key to the server on the network. The server ensures that the key is active, and debits an account for the user based on the amount presented in the bill. The key is de-activated after a specified time period or one use, whichever occurs first.

Abstract: Alert network systems and methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method comprises receiving an emergency alert regarding an emergency condition affecting a geographic region, selecting a facility from a plurality of facilities based on at least the geographic region, generating an alert notification regarding the emergency alert, providing the alert notification to the selected facility, and receiving an authorization to provide emergency information to one or more digital devices associated with the facility.
