Abstract

See full text

Automatically conveying content acquisition opportunities to users following detection of proximity to interactive signage. This may entail detecting proximity of a portable device to an interactive sign. The interactive sign is associated with a content item, such as music or a video that may be playing on or with the interactive sign. The portable device is associated with a user and has a user identifier. A unique identifier is generated in association with the proximity detection, which correlates the user identifier and the content item. The unique identifier is transmitted to a content site, which has some form of identification of both the user identifier as well as the corresponding content item. The content site then conveys to a device separate from the portable device an opportunity for the user to acquire a digital representation of the content item.
