DIGITAL SIGNAGE SYSTEM
Model : DIGITAL SIGNAGE SYSTEM
Digital signage is an emerging new communica
tion technology. It is expected to play
an important role in today’s dynamic world as
digital signage displays
timely information,
while reducing the environmental costs associ
ated with traditional printed signage. The
main focus of this thesis is the design, impl
ementation, and evaluation
of a digital signage
system based on a PC to display web contents
(or other dynamic information) on digital
displays located at one or more locations.
The system will display information based
upon a “playlist” that can be dynamically
updated. It avoids the single poin
t of failure of a television
(be it analog or IPTV) based
system, since each display has an attached pr
ocessor and local storage containing both the
information to be displayed and the local playli
st of what is to be displayed. Additionally,
the design allows content to be customized to
specific local viewers, i.e., the information
displayed can be adapted to th
e user or users currently in
front of the display. The
granularity of the schedule (i.e
., playlist) is much shorter th
an in existing
digital signage
systems – leading to a more visually dynamic
experience for viewers. On the basis of our
evaluation, we strongly believe that this approach to digital
signage will displace existing
signage systems.
