US Classification:

705 1472

Abstract:

A method and system for scheduling and distributing advertisements and other content to a network of out-of-home digital displays via a network is disclosed. The system includes a server for partitioning inventory, creating bookings, assigning content, and generating scheduling data for the display of content on a network of displays. The server may include a review and modification module that permits users to review and change the scheduling data so that inventory is used to its maximum commercial advantage. The server may send content and scheduling data to the various displays in the network. The displays may display the content according to the rules or criteria set forth in the scheduling data.

H04N 21/81
H04N 21/414
G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

A method includes identifying, by a server, a content location assigned to a first content slot of a schedule template defining a display rotation loop based on multiple content slots. Each of the content slots in the schedule is associated with slot criteria, and the schedule template is associated with a digital display. The server generates schedule data that indicates the display rotation loop, the content location, and the slot criteria. Dynamic content retrievable from the content location is displayable at the digital display at a first time. The first time is based on the first slot criteria of the first content slot. The server transmits the schedule data via a network to the digital display.

H04N 21/81
H04N 21/414

Abstract:

A method includes generating, by a server, an inventory corresponding to a plurality of time slots. The method also includes receiving data corresponding to a plurality of inventory bookings associated with the inventory. A subset of time slots that are assigned to a digital display of a plurality of networked digital displays may be identified by the server based on the data corresponding to the plurality of bookings. Media content that is assigned to each slot of the subset of time slots is identified by the server. The method may further include generating, based on slot criteria corresponding to the subset of time slots, a schedule template that defines a rotation loop. The media content is displayable on the digital display at times defined by the display rotation loop. The schedule template is transmitted to the digital display via a network.
