1. A computer network implemented system is provided for generating and displaying interactive map information, wherein the system includes:
(a) one or more computing devices, each including a display; and (b) a central server linked to the computing devices; the computing devices are linked, directly or indirectly, to the central server, and are configured to display wayfinding content and optionally associated content; characterized in that: the central server is linked to one or more remote systems for acquiring information or updates to information; and the central server includes or is linked to an integrated wayfinding content management utility that enables definition and updating of: (i) a wayfinding map for a particular location, the wayfinding map embodying relationships between a plurality of waypoints, and logic for interpreting and responding to one or more wayfinding requests made by one or more users by means of a computing device; (ii) one or more customer business objectives; and (iii) one or more rules for (A) optionally establishing dynamically a user profile based on one or more wayfinding requests from a user and optionally further based on or more attributes of the user captured from the user or accessed from a user profile accessible to the central server, for (B) generating one or more targeted messages for promoting the business objectives, the targeted messages being based on one or more business rules and optionally based on the user profile, and for (C) optionally determining one or more display parameters for displaying the wayfinding content, and the targeted messages in connection with the wayfinding content, in a way that promotes the business objectives; the central server includes or is linked to a targeted message generating utility that is operable, based on the rules, to dynamically create one or more targeted messages that may include information from the one or more remote systems, and integrate the targeted messages into the wayfinding content (“integrated wayfinding content”), and initiate the display of integrated wayfinding content that promotes the business objectives. |
