In an embodiment, the owners with an OWCA 2502 authorized to communicate with remote systems may select an upload data function to upload data to remote server 2506, and activate onsite broadcasting function.

Said web server 2506 and website applications are configured to provide online users with search and selection functions on locations over digital map on interfaces of said website on a computer or mobile device 2504 at any places; the system retrieves data related to said selected location from database of said system, location and sub-locations related information or multimedia programs are shown on said web interfaces of the computer or mobile device 2504.

Said mobile application server communicates with and monitors said mobile application installed on the mobile device 2504. In another aspect, the mobile application server tracks the mobile device 2504's geo location based on GPS signals, OWCA signals, wireless signals from data points, user entered information, or the like. It is noted that any method of location tracking may be utilized.

The mobile application server may search said database 2510 and checks if a location is associated with an entry in the database based on the identified geolocation. In another aspect, the mobile device 2504 may communicate directly with an OWCA for location information and to establish a connection. Once a location is found within user selected options, the mobile device 2504 may show information or multimedia programs based on data received from an OWCA 2502, or information received through the web server 2506. In an aspect, the mobile application may allow a user to select an option to automatically generate an alert when such information is available and/or received. In another aspect, the mobile device 2504 may only communicate with the OWCA 2502 when the mobile device 2504 is within a geographic area of the OWCA 2502. This may establish secure connections and, in addition, may reduce data consumption of a user of the mobile device 2504 as the mobile device 2504 need not communicate via a wireless service provider.

Said mobile application on said mobile device 2504 may be configured to allow users to select interested categories and sub-categories of locations before start his or her route. The categories may be stored in a memory of the mobile device 2504. In another aspect, the mobile device 2504 may automatically select categories based on user selected criteria, use history, past user likes, information received from third party services (e.g., social media, etc.), or the like. In an example, a user may not select any options from said mobile application menu, and the mobile device 2504 may display information or multimedia programs of all places found from said database of said remote system or said onsite wireless communication apparatus.

In another embodiment, information and multimedia programs of large businesses and entities with multiple services, functions or merchandises may be identified in different categories such as mall or super market, government bodies are shown at all time regardless of whether menu options selected by said mobile users. This may allow larger entities to show a number of different options to a user.

Location owners have options to get on said website at any places, or their onsite wireless communication apparatus, to create secured accounts, register their geographical locations or postal addresses, nature and functions of the locations along with other information; select functions and features available within their accounts and publish their information, connect video or audio equipment to said OWCA 2502 for live broadcasting or upload recorded audio and video recordings; select sequences of presenting said information, data and or recorded or live programs. In an aspect, the location owners may have accounts registered with a service provider. The location owners may rent, buy, or otherwise receive OWCA's 2502 from the service provide.

Once they are registered with geographical locations or postal addresses and select to publish their information or data, their geo-position will be: a. marked with an image showing the nature or functions of the place along with name of their business, facilities, entities, government bodies or organizations on a digital map of said website; b. associated with mobile device users having said mobile application and physically within a range of the geo-position. The location owner may select and/or edit the image, information, or other associated information. It is further noted that the location owner may view the mobile device's 2504 within range of their OWCA 2502. It is further noted that the location owner may black/white list certain mobile devices 2504. For instance, if a mobile device 2504 is associated with suspicious or undesirable activity, the location owner may select to disable the connection of the OWCA 2502 and the mobile device 2504.

Said system's remote server and database 2506 may be communicating via secured connections with remote server and database of third parties 2508. A user may access a location on a digital maple from an online connection and/from a mobile device 2504. When the location is selected or a user with mobile device installed with mobile application of said system is onsite of a location, the database 2506 may query entries to search for and identify entries associated with the location. For instance, the database 2506 may identify a store with a registered account in the vicinity of the mobile device 2504. In another aspect, the database 2506 may query the third party database 2508 via a secured connection 2510. The database 2506 may receive information via the secure access 2510 from the third party 2508. This may allow the system 2500 to have a closed or otherwise secured connection. As such, OWCA's 2502 may maintain a secure connection for mobile device 2504. This may allow the location owners to send most updated and specific information of the said location to said mobile users and also to connect with users without the users worrying about unwanted attacks from hackers or the like.

In another aspect, the OWCA's and/or remote server 2506 may transmit information (e.g., multimedia programing, advertisements, etc.) via a web interface for online users. For users accessing a OWCA 2502, the mobile device 2504 may generate a notification that the information is available. In some embodiments, the mobile device 2504 may automatically display the information with notifying the user.

OWCA's 2502 may be configured to connect to said remote server 2506 of said system 2500 via internet connection, as described herein. In another aspect, OWCA's 2502 may operatively communicate with other OWCA's 2502. For instance, a large location (e.g., mall, office building, stadium, etc.) may utilize multiple OWCA's 2502 to cover a large geographic area. In this instance, OWCA's 2502 may communicate with each other or with a central OWCA 2502 that may, in turn, communicate with the remote server 2506. It is noted however, that each OWCA 2502 may communicate with the remote server 2506 and/or may selectively disable or prevent communication with the remote server 2506.

A user of a mobile device 2504 installed with said mobile application may be within a location where there is no OWCA 2502 or an OWCA 2502 has malfunctioned. As such, the mobile device 2504 may communicate directly with the remote server 2506. Once a OWCA 2502 is identified or otherwise properly functioning, the mobile device 2504 may terminate connection with the remote server 2506 and may communicate directly with the OWCA 2502. It is noted, however, that the mobile device 2504 may continue to communicate with the remote server 2506 as well as the OWCA 2502. For instance, the OWCA 2502 may provide location specific information, high-bandwidth information, or the like, while the remote sever 2506 may provide general information (e.g., a map of a larger region), low bandwidth information, etc.

In at least one embodiment, the system 2500 may require the OWCA 2502 to register with the remote server 2506 to enable access or communication with the mobile device 2504. According to one embodiment, the mobile device 2504 may request an identification code from the OWCA 2502. The mobile device 2504 may forward the identification code to the remote server 2506 for verification. The remote server 2506 determines whether or not to verify the OWCA 2502 and may forward the information to the mobile device 2504.

In at least one embodiment, an OWCA 2502 may be associate with a rating or classification. For instance, an OWCA 2502 may be associate with adult content, a particular type of food, a secured environment or the like. When the remote database 2506 receives the verification code, it may cross-reference user settings and the OWCA 2502 classification. If, for example, the mobile device 2504 has enabled parental controls, the remote database 2506 may prevent the OWCA 2502 classified for adult content from communicating with the mobile device 2504. In another example, the OWCA 2502 may associate with food containing allergies (e.g., nuts). The remote database 2506 may cross-reference user settings identifying the allergies and may notify the user via the mobile device 2504 when the user is identified as allergic to the particular allergen. These, of course, are merely examples of possible communications. As such, this disclosure is not limited to such.

It is noted that the remote database 2506 may be off or otherwise not available in a particular area or to a particular mobile device 2504. In such embodiments, OWCA 2502 may communicate with the mobile device 2504 directly for verification. A user may manual verify an OWCA 2502, such as through an on-screen prompt. In another aspect, the mobile application may check said OWCA 2502 identification number against identification numbers stored with said mobile application which are assigned to those OWCA's 2502 in the areas or regions which have no internet or cellphone signals, once verified said mobile application may receive information and multimedia programs broadcasted from said OWCA's 2502. It is noted that the mobile application may store a list of pre-registered or previously visited OWCA's 2502. Moreover, a user may selectively remove an OWCA 2502 from a pre-registered list.
