A mobile terminal apparatus, systems, and methods for a mobile service
provider to deliver advertising content, via a wireless protocol, to a
user's mobile terminal are provided. The user's mobile terminal may be
both multimedia and Bluetooth enabled, and may be able to be located by
the service provider when it is powered on, so that the advertising
content presented may be relevant to the viewer's location. When the
mobile terminal is presenting advertising content according to the
invention, it may simultaneously transmit to other nearby Bluetooth
enabled devices, digital coupons that can be used by the recipients for
the advertiser's products or services. Some embodiments include a mobile
terminal having a display that folds into a second orientation, above or
alongside the mobile terminal's main profile to face outward, so that
persons standing by can see the advertising being displayed, as
hands-free functionality will be temporarily suspended requiring the user
to hold the terminal at his ear to speak. The user may receive incentives
(reduced/free minutes, free content, e.g., ring tones, etc.) to use the
terminal. Service providers will receive advertising revenues and an
effective means to monitor the effectiveness of a mobile advertising
campaign. Nearby people may receive information and electronic coupons,
and advertisers will receive brand recognition.
