Prior Publication US 2021/0271786 A1, Sep. 2, 2021
1. A method for accessing digital content associated with a position in a wireless communication area in a region comprising an infrastructure, the method comprising the steps of:
a. determining an initial approximate location of a Smart Device using a location sensor of the Smart Device;
b. determining that the initial approximate location of the Smart Device is within the region comprising the infrastructure and the initial approximate location of the Smart Device is close to the infrastructure;
c. determining that the Smart Device has access to an array of reference point transceivers associated with the infrastructure and authorizing communications between the Smart Device and reference point transceivers of the array of reference point transceivers;
d. transceiving a first wireless communication between the Smart Device and a first reference point transceiver fixedly located at a first position within the wireless communication are;
e. transceiving a second wireless communication between the Smart Device and a second reference point transceiver fixedly located at a second position within the wireless communication area;
f. transceiving a third wireless communication between the Smart Device and a third reference point transceiver fixedly located at a third position within the wireless communication area;
g. generating positional coordinates for the Smart Device at an instance in time based upon the first wireless communication, the second wireless communication, and the third wireless communication, each wireless communication between the Smart Device and a respective one of the first reference point transceiver, the second reference point transceiver, and the third reference point transceiver;
h. generating a direction of interest from the positional coordinates of the Smart Device;
i. generating an area of interest comprising the direction of interest;
j. generating positional coordinates of a tag;
k. associating the digital content with the tag;
l. determining that the positional coordinates of the tag are within the area of interest;
m. determining that the Smart Device has access rights to the digital content;
n. receiving a user input into a dynamic portion of a user interactive interface on the Smart Device, the user input operative to cause the Smart Device to display the digital content; and
o. based upon the user input received into the dynamic portion of the user interactive interface, displaying the digital content related to the infrastructure in the user interactive interface.
