Abstract

A venue display system provides selected localization of content to a client and includes a server and a processor. The server is configured to provide selected localization of content from at least one of: a venue display; a D-Cinema or alternative content; and at a selected location. A screen management system (SMS) is included as is a venue display management system configured to assist in localization of content at the selected location. A storage device stores content.

Claims (24)

1. A venue display system that provides selected localization of content to a client, comprising:

a box;

a D-Cinema server that includes a processor for communicating with the box, the server being configured to provide for selected localization of content from at least one of: a venue display; a D-Cinema or alternative content; and at a selected location, wherein a D-Cinema screen setup is modified to record a setup “GPS location” inside a server security manager with a link enabled to a Network Operation Center supervision center which in return sends a valid authorization license file to the server security manager;

a screen management system (SMS);

a venue display management system configured to assist in localization of content at the selected location, the content being viewable by the client to see how each one of the content is displayed by a recipient receiving the content on an electronic device;

a digital projector;

a storage device for storing the content, wherein the content includes one or more message, image, and video templates and configured to be modified; and

wherein in response to a receipt of a modified content a validation process by the D-Cinema server determines if a modifiable portion of the modified content is in compliance with a standard of the venue display system;

in response to a non-compliance of the modifiable portion, the venue display system notifies the client and the recipient of the non-compliance and allows the client or the recipient to make the modifiable portion to be in compliance with the standard;

in the event that the modifiable portion is still not in compliance, a screening slot in a playlist that contains a sequence of composition playlists (CPLs) is not granted, or if previously granted is withdrawn and the screening slot is then available for another contents, or the screening slot in the playlist is cancelled;

including in the playlist one or more contents that are in compliance with the standard;

creating the playlist by a member of the venue display system's staff using proprietary software that runs on the D-Cinema server;

scheduling, by a transportation management system (TMS), appropriate venue display screen at the appropriate time to play the CPLs;

accessing, by the processor, the CPLs;

routing, by the box, metadata associated with the content;

playing the content on the venue display screen via a projector;

determining, by the box, that a specific content fails to play by collecting and analyzing playback logs stored at the TMS; and notifying and reimbursing the client for the failed to play content.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the location is selected from at least one of, residences, dwellings including commercial office space, warehouses, general building structures, marine vessels and aircraft.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein selected location utilizes private or public D-Cinema setup.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the D-Cinema setup is based on at least one of:

(i) the D-Cinema server; (ii) a D-Cinema projector; and (iii) one or more D-Cinema peripherals.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein a Security Manager zone is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certified.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the contents can include modifications are selected from at least one of: (i) an addition of a GPS receiver in the server security manager; (ii) an addition of a playback authorization license file into the server security manager; and (iii) an addition of a secured operating workflow.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the link is valid only for a recorded selected location.
