Abstract

System and method for displaying digital content on a display device comprising at least one digital content item, configured to be displayed on the display device, a service cloud, comprising a server, memory, and processor, configured to store the digital content item as one or more encrypted slices, and a crypto controller, running on the service cloud server, configured to download a cypher key stored in the service cloud memory. The cypher key is configured to be encoded with a unique identification corresponding to the display device and lock the digital content item to that display device. The service cloud processor is configured to retrieve the encrypted slices, assemble the slices into one or more encrypted particles, and send the encrypted particles and the cypher key to the display device for assembly by the cypher key into the digital content item using an activation code provided by the crypto controller.

11 . A system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein said second digital content item is configured to be displayed on the first display device concurrently with said at least one digital content item.

12 . A system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein said at least one digital content item and at least said second digital content item, when displayed concurrently, are configured to each maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio.

13 . A system as claimed in claim 12 , further comprising a third digital content item, wherein when said third digital content item is displayed concurrently with said at least one digital content item and said second digital content item in a vertical configuration, said digital content images are configured to cover substantially the entirety of a display area of the display screen and to each maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio.

14 . A system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein said at least one digital content item is configured to be deleted by the processing controller of the first display device if there is not enough storage space for said second digital content item to be displayed concurrently.

15 . A system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein at least said second digital content item and said at least one digital content item are configured to be displayed on the display device in sequence.

16 . A system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein said sequence is configured to be altered by an external trigger.

17 . A system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein said sequence is configured to change in pre-set time intervals.

18 . A method for displaying digital content on a first display device comprising a processing controller, a memory, and a display screen, the method comprising:

providing at least one digital content item, configured to be displayed on the first display device;

storing, by a service cloud comprising a server, a memory, and a processor, said at least one digital content item as a plurality of encrypted slices;

downloading, by a crypto controller running on said server of a service cloud, a cypher key from a key vault stored in said memory of said service cloud;

encoding, by said processor of said service cloud, said cypher key with a unique identification corresponding to the first display device and to lock said at least one digital content item to the first display device;

retrieving, by said processor, said plurality of encrypted slices of said at least one digital content item;

reassembling, by said processor, a plurality of particles of said at least one digital content item from said plurality of encrypted slices, said particles being larger than said slices;

encrypting, by said processor, said plurality of particles:

sending, by said processor, said plurality of particles and said cypher key to the processing controller of the display device; and

sending, by said processor upon receipt of a request to display said at least one digital content item on the display device, an activation code provided by said crypto controller for reassembly of said at least one digital content item from said plurality of encrypted particles for display on the first display device.

19 . A method as claimed in claim 18 , further comprising generating, by said crypto controller, a recovery key, wherein said recovery key is stored in said key vault and configured to retrieve said at least one digital content item from the first display device.
