Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
A method for controlling the presentation of advertisements, the method being practiced by a local computing device having a processing device and a memory, the method comprising: receiving local weather condition information from a sensing unit that is separate from the computing device; determining which advertisements are appropriate for presentation using the local computing device and based upon the received weather condition information; and facilitating presentation of appropriate advertisements on a local display unit.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
74 words
A method for controlling the presentation of advertisements, the method being practiced by a local computing device having a processing device and a memory, the method comprising: receiving local weather condition information from a sensing unit that is separate from the computing device; determining which advertisements are appropriate for presentation using the local computing device and based upon the received weather condition information; and facilitating presentation of appropriate advertisements on a local display unit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein facilitating presentation of appropriate advertisements comprises transmitting the appropriate advertisements from the computing device to the local display unit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 2 , wherein the display unit is mounted to a fuel pump.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the current local time using the local computing device and determining which advertisements are appropriate for presentation based upon the current local time using the local computing device.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein different advertisements are selected for presentation as the weather condition information changes.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein the local weather condition information comprises at least one of temperature, barometric pressure, precipitation, brightness, humidity, and wind force.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein the local weather condition information comprises at least one of barometric pressure, precipitation, brightness, humidity, and wind force.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein determining which advertisements are appropriate for presentation comprises disqualifying available advertisements with reference to a correlation table.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
72 words
Advertisement presentation control software stored on a computer readable medium of a local computing device, comprising: logic configured to collect local weather condition information from a sensing unit that is separate from the local computing device; logic configured to determine which advertisements are appropriate for presentation based upon the collected weather condition information; and logic configured to transmit appropriate advertisements to a display unit that is separate from the local computing device.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
72 words
Advertisement presentation control software stored on a computer readable medium of a local computing device, comprising: logic configured to collect local weather condition information from a sensing unit that is separate from the local computing device; logic configured to determine which advertisements are appropriate for presentation based upon the collected weather condition information; and logic configured to transmit appropriate advertisements to a display unit that is separate from the local computing device.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
33 words
The software of claim 9 , further comprising logic configured to determine the current local time and logic configured to determine which advertisements are appropriate for presentation based upon the current local time.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
26 words
The system of claim 9 , wherein the local weather condition information comprises at least one of temperature, barometric pressure, precipitation, brightness, humidity, and wind force.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
25 words
The system of claim 9 , wherein the local weather condition information comprises at least one of barometric pressure, precipitation, brightness, humidity, and wind force.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
29 words
The system of claim 9 , wherein the logic configured to determine which advertisements are appropriate comprises logic configured to disqualify available advertisements with reference to a correlation table.
Claim 16
Independent Claim
97 words
A method for controlling the presentation of advertisements practiced by a local computing device having a processing device and a memory, the method comprising: receiving local weather forecast information with the local computing device that is collected by and transmitted from a remote server via a network; determining which advertisements are appropriate for presentation on a local display unit using the computing device and based upon the received local weather forecast information; and transmitting appropriate advertisements from the local computing device to the local display unit, the local display unit being separate from the local computing device.
Claim 17
Independent Claim
97 words
A method for controlling the presentation of advertisements practiced by a local computing device having a processing device and a memory, the method comprising: receiving local weather forecast information with the local computing device that is collected by and transmitted from a remote server via a network; determining which advertisements are appropriate for presentation on a local display unit using the computing device and based upon the received local weather forecast information; and transmitting appropriate advertisements from the local computing device to the local display unit, the local display unit being separate from the local computing device.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 14 , wherein the local display unit is mounted to a fuel pump.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
37 words
The method of claim 14 , further comprising determining the current local time using the local computing device and determining which advertisements are appropriate for presentation based upon the current local time using the local computing device.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim
93 words
Advertisement presentation control software stored on a computer readable medium of a local computing device, comprising: logic configured to receive local weather forecast information that is collected by and transmitted from a remote server via a network; logic configured to determine which advertisements are appropriate for presentation on a local display unit using the computing device and based upon the received local weather forecast information; and logic configured to transmit appropriate advertisements from the local computing device to the local display unit, the local display unit being separate from the local computing device.
Claim 21
Dependent Claim
93 words
Advertisement presentation control software stored on a computer readable medium of a local computing device, comprising: logic configured to receive local weather forecast information that is collected by and transmitted from a remote server via a network; logic configured to determine which advertisements are appropriate for presentation on a local display unit using the computing device and based upon the received local weather forecast information; and logic configured to transmit appropriate advertisements from the local computing device to the local display unit, the local display unit being separate from the local computing device.
Claim 22
Dependent Claim
38 words
The software of claim 17 , further comprising logic configured to determine the current local time and logic configured to determine which advertisements are appropriate for presentation based upon the current local time using the local computing device.
