It is to be expressly understood that the description and drawings are only for the purpose of illustration and as an aid to understanding, and are not intended as a definition of the limits of the invention.
io Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment A known display means or billboard of a conventional construction (not shown) is provided. The billboard uses one or more technologies for is delivering text and graphic content to a billboard as discussed above.
Specifically, it is important to note that the billboard may comprise a print advertising or electronic advertising. The present invention also contemplates that billboard is an electronic billboard and comprises a digital graphic content delivery system such as an LED or digital screen, as well as a communication 2o system for remotely managing the content displayed on such billboard as explained below.
Whatever the content delivery system used by the billboard, the billboard of the present invention displays a communication code or 2s communication tag such as a telephone number, telephone acronym, cellular network number (including an abbreviated number such as *88 or the like), and/or an URL. Individuals having viewed the billboard use the communication tag to access a data delivery system 14 that is accessible via the communication tag as best shown in Fig. 1.
A variety of communication devices are used by individuals to access the data delivery system 14, for example individuals may call a telephone number or abbreviated cell number by means of a cell phone, or on a land line at home, or may access the URL using a mobile browser on a cellular phone, two-way pager, wireless personal digital assistant or the like.
s In the preferred embodiment of the data delivery system 14 described herein, the data delivery system 14 comprises a communication means (not shown) which utilizes known telephony hardware such as a Private Bureau Exchange 18 or "PBX" combined with fiber optic cabling by means of a series of ports, in a manner that is well known. The PBX 18 is capable of handling a io large number of calls/communications.
The PBX 18 is connected to a data selection means or communication input means 21 which comprises means for processing requests made by an individual contacting the data delivery system 14. The is communication input means Z1 is best understood as a data access menu which permits requests to be received and processed. The content of each individual menu associated with a particular communication tag is tailored to the requirements of the particular entity or entities that have engaged the use of the billboard of the present invention. For example, in a telephone 20 implementation of the data delivery system 14, the communication input means 21 comprises a touch tone menu provided in a manner that is well known. Further, in another implementation of the communication input means 21, said communication input means 21 comprises voice recognition capability, also in a manner that is well known.
The communication input means 21 permits the user to access various data and information including for example product or service pricing, specifications, promotions, features, contest information etc., in accordance with input received from the user. Accordingly, the data delivery system 14 3o permits a user to "pull" selected data or information from the data delivery system 14.
-s-The PBX 18 is further connected with a communication output means 20 that is used to communicate information tailored to requests made by a caller to the PBX 18 by means of the communication input means 21. The communication output means 20 is operably connected to a communication s server 22 capable of communication including by means of e-mail and faxes sent over, for example, known SMTP servers or fax boards 24 further connected to the PBX 18. Thereby communication output means ZO permits a user to engage communication output means 20 to forward data or information requested by a user in accordance with communication input to means 21, for example, more detailed information on particular products or services of the advertiser who has engaged the use of the billboard.
It should be understood that the billboard also permits advertisers who have engaged the use of a billboard to broaden the marketing impact of an is billboard. While prior art billboards are often product specific, the billboard of the present invention permits an billboard to promote a particular brand, whereas the data delivery system 14 is used to permit users to access information on particular products that form part of a broader umbrella brand.
Therefore the billboard of the present invention is adapted to permit the 2o extension of the marketing impact to a greater variety of products than conventional billboards permit.
Further connected to the PBX 18 is a software means (not shown) comprising a command module 28. The command module 28 provides 2s means for programming software means, in a manner that is well known, with settings defining a series of processing steps determining a particular processing cycle of PBX 18, as well as defining the data or information that can be accessed in association with a particular communication tag.
3o An example of a processing cycle is now illustrated. For example, in an billboard of the present invention that has been engaged by an auto manufacturer, a communication tag consisting of a telephone number is given. The advertising displayed by the billboard relates in this example to an automobile product. While the amount of information that can be displayed at the billboard may be limited because of the size thereof, the requirement that information be of a certain size in order to be visible, and also because too s much information may distract drivers, a telephone number, in the present example, permits a driver (preferably in hands-free, voice recognition mode) to call the telephone number presented by the billboard using a cell phone and thereby to access the data delivery system 14. Alternatively, a person having viewed the billboard of the present invention may call the telephone Io number while walking by the billboard, or having made note of the telephone number, may call the billboard at a later time. A menu tailored to the automobile product (as discussed above) permits the driver to access, for example, information on price offerings on a particular model via the voice recognition capable menu provided by the data delivery system 14. The is driver may also direct the data delivery system 14 to forward further information or direct marketing material to an postal address, email address or fax number by means of the same menu.
It should be understood that in accordance with the present invention, 2o the billboard combined with the operation of data delivery system 14 of the present invention constitutes an advertising data gateway.
In the preferred embodiment of the data delivery system 14 of the present invention, PBX 18, communication server 22 and software means are 2s connected to a server 30 with an operating system for hierarchical operation of the functions of the data delivery system 14.
