A portable projection turret deployment is provided with a media projection subsystem (MPS). The MPS has a display surface aligned in a vertical plane, as is conventional. At a first time, the MPS display surface is rotated to align in a first horizontal direction, as viewed from a plan (top-down) perspective. Alternatively stated, a horizontal direction is the direction that the MPS display screen faces, or the direction in which the MPS projects visual information. At a second time, the MPS display surface is rotated in a second horizontal direction. The first horizontal direction may be orthogonal to the second horizontal direction. In one aspect, the MPS display surface can be rotated in a plurality of horizontal directions. In another aspect, the MPS display surface can be rotated (spun) in a horizontal circle.

A public exposure monitored media projection system is presented made up of a media projection subsystem that is configured for attachment to a mobile platform, and which may be selectively enabled. A monitoring subsystem measures public exposure to projected media and supplies exposure measurements. A communications subsystem accepts verification information including media projection subsystem enablement and the exposure measurements. A handicap subsystem offsets the media value associated with the enablement of the media projection subsystem, which is calculated in response to the exposure measurements. Typically, a rewards subsystem provides a reward to an entity (e.g., the media projection subsystem (MPS) owner) in response to the media value offset by the exposure measurement. The system may also include a publically accessible access point, a location subsystem, and a targeting subsystem for selecting a media projection subsystem target geographic location.

System and method for monitoring mobile media

A third party-directed mobile media system is provided with a chassis, configured for attachment to a mobile platform associated with a first entity. An included media subsystem may be a media projection subsystem or a publically accessible access point (or both). Examples of an access point include WLAN and WPAN devices. Examples of a media projection subsystem include an image projector, a retractable screen deployed over an exterior surface of the mobile platform, a media topper, a switchable glass display, or a wallscape. A location subsystem determines the geographic location of the mobile platform. A wireless communications subsystem has an interface to receive verification information including the mobile platform geographic location, and an interface to receive mobile platform geographic location destination instructions from a second entity. An autonomous driving application may be included, permitting the mobile platform to be autonomously driven to the selected mobile platform geographic location destination.

A mobile locker system is provided having a security mechanism permitting an agent to access the locker parked at a temporary product exchange station, and an exchange mechanism directing the agent to the station location. The agent can be a delivery agent inserting the product into the locker or a receiving agent removing the product from the locker. The locker may be attached to a mobile platform, such as an automotive vehicle. A communications subsystem transmits an identifier associated with the agent accessing the locker, an identifier associated with the locker, and the geographic location of the locker to a server. An ordering mechanism accepts product orders, product exchange station location requests, or both, from a receiving agent, and has an interface to supply the ordered product to a delivery exchange mechanism. A receiving exchange mechanism passes the locker information to the receiving agent.

An automated package transfer system and method are provided with a concierge interface. A publically accessible locker, associated with a package transfer service, has a compartment configured to limit access to a stored package. The locker can be used to deliver or pick up packages. The locker is moved to a selected temporary stationary location and access to the locker compartment is controlled. A communications subsystem selectively connects a (local) concierge user interface (UI) with a (remote) package transfer service locker attendant UI. The locker may be attached to a portable kiosk or a vehicle and positioned at a selected location using an autonomous driverless software application. The stationary locations may be cross-referenced to weighted values, which may be related to service prices and expenses. In one aspect, the concierge UI is connected to the locker attendant UI in response to the vehicle being parked in a selected stationary location.

An aircraft media projection system is provided with a deployment subsystem having an interface to supply an enablement signal with an identification code, in response to an aircraft maintaining a selected midair position in the atmosphere above the ground. A location subsystem determines the midair geographic location of the aircraft, and a communications subsystem, typically a cellular link, has an interface to receive verification information including the enablement signal, identification code, and geographic location, and an interface to transmit the verification information to a server. In one aspect, the system may include a WiFi hotspot that is available for use by the public at large. A targeting software application permits the selection of the midair position from a plurality of potential midair positions. Each potential midair stationary position may have a corresponding weighted value. In another aspect, the system may include a media projection subsystem to selectively project media.

A mobile media projector system is provided with a chassis, configured for attachment to a mobile platform, having a screen deployment mechanism. A viewing screen is selectively deployable when the mobile platform is parked in a stationary geographic location. An imaging projector subsystem projects an image onto the deployed viewing screen. Typically, the chassis is configured for attachment to an automotive vehicle with a roof, and the viewing screen is deployed over an exterior surface of the automotive vehicle. The system may include a WLAN and/or WPAN access point. A targeting application may select the geographic location from a group of stationary geographic locations, each having a weighted value. A second mobile media projector system includes a chassis configured for attachment to a roof of an automobile having a side mirror. An image projected onto the side mirror is reflected onto a surface such as the automobile door.

A system and method are provided for a pedestrian thoroughfare portable media projection kiosk. The method provides a portable kiosk chassis located in a pedestrian thoroughfare. A media projection subsystem attached to the kiosk projects a media message and creates a media enablement signal. The media message may be a visual display, an audio broadcast, or both. The method verifies that media has been projected in response to receiving a media enablement signal. Verification information is supplied that includes the media enablement signal, and the verification information is communicated to a server. The verification information may be communicated using a cellular telephone, an IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) device, an IEEE 802.15 Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) device, or combinations thereof. Alternatively, or in addition, the kiosk may provide a publically accessible cellular telephone booster, a WLAN access point (AP), WPAN AP, or combinations thereof.

A portable billboard is presented including a portable media projection subsystem to selectively project media and to supply an enablement signal in response to the media being projected. A location device supplies a geographic location of the media projection subsystem. A verifier receives the enablement signal and the geographic location, and supplies verification information responsive to the media being projected from a stationary location for a predetermined minimum duration of time. A communications subsystem receives verification information and either stores the information for subsequent downloads, or transmits the information to a central controlling server. A targeting subsystem permits an entity to select a target stationary location from a plurality of value weighted target stationary locations. The targeting application typically provides a reward in response to a value of the selected target stationary location.

Portable billboard

A coordinated mobile media projection system is provided using multiple media projection systems (MPSs). Each MPS is attachable to a mobile platform (e.g., automotive vehicle or aircraft). Each MPS is selectively enabled to supply a portion of coordinated media, and includes a location subsystem to determine the geographic location of the MPS. The combination of the MPSs supplies a coordinated media integration or unified message, with a first portion of the coordinated media being linked to a second portion of the coordinated media. Each MPS may include a deployment subsystem to supply an enablement signal in response to either the mobile platform occupying an assigned position or the MPS being enabled. The geographic location determined by the locations subsystem may be a stationary location or a moving location route. The first and second portions of the coordinated media may be identical, sequentially projected, form a billboard, or display related topics.
