Abstract:
1. A system for transmitting a selected message from a message server to a mobile device of a user present within an audio signal broadcast area by transmitting an audio signal in the broadcast area that includes encoded data indicating a location of the message in the message server and transmitting the message from the message server to the mobile device based on the mobile device of the user decoding the encoded data from the audio signal and transmitting the encoded data to the message server to request the selected message, the system comprising: a searchable database comprising one or more messages stored at respective storage locations in said searchable database; a message server in communication with said searchable database and configured for storing in and retrieving messages from said searchable database; a content management server in communication with the message server and configured to store one or more instructions associated with a message stored in said searchable database, where the instructions comprise information for encoding an audio signal with embedded data indicating the storage location of a message in said searchable database, wherein the embedded data is recognizable only by mobile devices running a decoding application where the decoding application is configured to decode the embedded data from the signal and transmit the decoded embedded data indicating the storage location of the message from the mobile device to the message server; at least one encoding device in communication with said content management server configured to use the instructions stored in the content management server to generate an encoded signal encoded with embedded data indicating the storage location of the message stored in said searchable database; at least one audio broadcast device in communication with said at least one encoding device and configured to broadcast, in the audio signal broadcast area, the audio signal encoded with embedded data indicating the storage location of the selected message stored in said searchable database; and wherein the message server is further configured to:
