Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems for transmitting content to a device. In some embodiments, methods include receiving location information relating to a device, the location information usable to identify an approximate location of the device; comparing the approximate location of the device with a location of a venue, wherein the venue is associated with at least one feature; and transmitting content to the device if the approximate location of the device is within a pre-determined range of the location of the venue, wherein at least a portion of the content relates to the at least one feature. In certain embodiments, the user receives the content without the need for the user to be aware of and seek out that content. In certain embodiments, the content may have a relationship to the particular venue, or in other words, the content may be applied for use at that venue. In certain embodiments the transmission of content to the device depends not only on the user's location, but also on the particular time of transmission. In other embodiments content is selected based upon whether the approximate location of the device is within a portion of a pre-determined range of the location of the venue.
