  • the methods and systems of the instant invention may be used to facilitate News publish tools, content automation capability to gather location specific content and deliver on TV with editing capability, collaborative schedule control, content aggregation and delivery of TV like displays, customer specific logos, branded channels for customized communication strategy, and remote control of live TV/PVR capability for TV screens.
  • the system and method of the instant invention may further facilitate intelligent content delivery by shared use of satellite bandwidth for delivery of customised video content saves on broadband bandwidth required for delivery of heavy duty video content for digital signage space and header protocol for delivery of client specific content on a group of screens .
  • FIG. 11 is a flow diagram depicting a method of retrieving and displaying data on the display media (screen) by use of stored content under remote control being used to deliver quality audio and/or video data/content, the method comprises the steps of retrieving the schedule list 1101, initiating connection 1102, verifying if connectivity exists 1103, updating the schedule list if the connectivity exists 1104, downloading data/content 1105, updating downloaded data-list 1106, stopping retrieval of data/content till specified time till the time when all required data/content downloaded and display list equals the schedule list 1107, 1108, displaying downloaded data/content as per display list 1109, tracking/checking connectivity if no connectivity, displaying data/content as per display list.
  • the system thereof to retrieve and display data on the display media (screen) by use of stored content under remote control being used to deliver quality audio and/or video data/content is comprised of means to retrieve the schedule list, means to initiate connection; means to verify if connectivity exists, means to update the schedule list if the connectivity exists, means to download data/content, means to update downloaded data-list, means to stop retrieval of data/content till specified time till the time when all required data/content downloaded and display list equals the schedule list, means to display downloaded data/content as per display list and means to track/check connectivity.
  • FIG. 12 is an illustration of a scenario when the display mechanism (1203) of the system is positioned in a moving vehicle (1202) . Due to various external factors like trees (1201) , the connecting means located inside the vehicle encounter problems connecting with the central data server (1206) as the communication network (1204) is erratic. To circumvent this problem the system uses a method as illustrated in figure 11. Thus the system is able to provide the end user an uninterrupted viewing experience.
  • the blocks of the flowchart illustration support combinations of means for performing the specified actions, combinations of steps for performing the specified actions and program instruction means for performing the specified actions .

Abstract

Cette invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes permettant de sélectionner un contenu sur la base de l'anticipation des paramètres démographiques et/ou psychographiques du groupe à partir d'un emplacement central à distance par l'intermédiaire de commandes locales sur un dispositif d'entrée pour un contenu provenant d'Internet et/ou d'une base de données centrale. Cette invention consiste également à diviser la zone d'affichage (visible) en plusieurs zones différentes; chacune de ces zones recevant des informations provenant de différentes sources telles qu'Internet, un serveur; puis à diffuser les données commandées depuis un emplacement centralisé.
