Location-Aware Digital Content Delivery for Mobile Tourism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital systems for providing tourism content at multiple geographic locations are inefficient in delivering targeted and location-aware content to mobile devices, lacking effective methods to prioritize and manage venue-specific content based on user preferences and geographic boundaries.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that store venue location and content data, determine the current location of a mobile device, and provide relevant digital content when within specific geographic boundaries, with features to prioritize venues based on user preferences and geographic proximity, allowing for user-specific content delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If digital content is provided for multiple venues at different geographic locations, then the tourism experience is enhanced with location-aware content, but the system complexity increases in managing and delivering venue-specific content
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments venue content into discrete, manageable units associated with specific geographic boundaries. Each venue has its own content package that can be independently managed, stored, and delivered based on the user's location relative to defined geographic boundaries of multiple venues.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that mediates between the user's current location and the appropriate venue content. This intermediary processes location data, determines which geographic boundaries the user is within, and delivers the corresponding venue-specific content, simplifying the overall system architecture.
2Loss of information
If venue-specific content is delivered based on current location and geographic boundaries, then content relevance is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining geographic boundaries for multiple venues and pre-organizing venue-specific content packages before they are needed. When a user enters a venue's geographic boundary, the system can quickly retrieve and deliver the pre-prepared content without extensive real-time processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by creating and storing duplicate copies of venue content data in accessible locations. This allows the system to quickly retrieve and deliver content without repeatedly accessing or processing the original data sources, reducing processing time while maintaining content relevance.
3Adaptability or versatility
If user preferences and context are used to tailor location-based services, then service personalization is improved, but the data processing requirements and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by tailoring venue content delivery to the user's specific context and preferences within each venue's geographic boundary. Different users receive different content packages based on their personalization profiles, while the underlying venue content remains organized by location, maintaining system manageability.

AI summary
Disclosed herein are, among other things, systems and methods for providing digital content for multiple venues to mobile devices. In some embodiments, venue location data defining a geographic boundary of each of a plurality of venues and venue content data for a plurality of different attractions associated with the venue is stored. A processing device system may be configured to determine a current location of the mobile device, and provide at least some of the venue content data based at least on an analysis of the venue location data, or attraction location data, and the current location.
