Smart Local Map Displays with Integrated Localized Advertisements and Extended Applications to Users’ Devices

OF THE DISCLOSURE A technique is provided for providing local advertisements and maps to users. An example display device broadcasts advertisements to users in the vicinity of the device. When a user interacts with an example interactive display device, the image on display changes from an advertisement to an interactive local map. An example interactive display device shows users directions to products, places, or events that have been advertised on the device and allows the user to receive or download the directions and information to the user’s personal device so that the directions or map can be used offline or away from the interactive device. 11 Defensive Publications Series, Art. 340 [2016] http://www.tdcommons.org/dpubs_series/340
