Abstract

Techniques for presenting venue based services in a WLAN environment are provided. Specifically, methods that when taken alone or together, provide a device or group of devices with an efficient way of accessing venue based applications and advertisements while reducing application pollution. The present disclosure includes a system that provides a user with automatic network and application discovery while in the vicinity of a venue. If the system detects that the application is not installed in the wireless device, the venue specific application is presented to the user for download and install. The system can also recognize a user's preferences and tailor the application and advertisement provided accordingly.
