US Patent 10991007 Aerial billboard

An aircraft media projection system is provided with a deployment subsystem having an interface to supply an enablement signal with an identification code, in response to an aircraft maintaining a selected midair position in the atmosphere above the ground. A location subsystem determines the midair geographic location of the aircraft, and a communications subsystem, typically a cellular link, has an interface to receive verification information including the enablement signal, identification code, and geographic location, and an interface to transmit the verification information to a server. In one aspect, the system may include a WiFi hotspot that is available for use by the public at large. A targeting software application permits the selection of the midair position from a plurality of potential midair positions. Each potential midair stationary position may have a corresponding weighted value. In another aspect, the system may include a media projection subsystem to selectively project media.
