Abstract

A multi-panel video wall and system is disclosed having a computer with a memory or access to a public or private cloud containing a video file and a processor for executing the video file and a plurality of video display screens interconnected to one another and to the computer via wired or wireless transmission, each of the plurality of video display screens configured to work together to display a video content generated from the video file that extends across all of the plurality of video display screens. Upon user interaction or detection of a user, one or more of the plurality of video display screens seamlessly transitions away from the video content to display a separate video content for interaction with the user.

Claims (27)

1. A video wall system comprising:

a computer having a memory containing a media file and a processor for executing the media file, the computer having an Internet connection for access to at least one remote Javascript database;

a plurality of display tiles interconnected to one another and to the computer, each of the plurality of display tiles configured to work together to display a video content generated from the media file that extends across a all of the plurality of display tiles, and each such display tile configured to operate independently from one another to display one or more separate video contents generated from the media file;

wherein one or more of the plurality of display tiles are configured to seamlessly transition away from the video content upon initiation by the user to display a separate video content for interaction with the user.

2. The video wall system of claim 1 wherein the computer memory contains front end software for displaying the media file and back end software for pulling instructions and content from the at least one Javascript database, and upon initiation by a user, the back end software is configured to instruct the front end software to display the separate interactive video content.

3. The video wall system of claim 2 wherein the back end software contains one or more Javascript components and the front end software is configured to pull instructions from at least one Javascript component through which the back end software is configured to serve the separate interactive video content.

4. The video wall system of claim 2 wherein the back end software stores content on a document-based database.

5. The video wall system of claim 2 wherein the back end software stores content in a simple storage service.

6. The video wall system of claim 5 wherein the video content is generated by streaming from the simple storage service.

7. The video wall system of claim 2 wherein the back end software is configured to pull instructions and content from a first Javascript database and then from a second Javascript database.

8. The video wall system of claim 7 wherein the back end software is configured to pull instructions and content from the first Javascript database at one predefined time and from the second Javascript database at another predefined time.

9. The video wall system of claim 8 wherein the back end software is configured to update content from the first Javascript database at one predefined time and from the second Javascript database at another predefined time.

10. The video wall system of claim 1 wherein the media file is stored on the at least one Javascript database.

11. A method for displaying a separate interactive video content on a display tile to a user, the display tile being one of a plurality of display tiles forming a video wall, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a computer having a memory containing a media file and a processor for executing the media file, the computer being interconnected with the plurality of display tiles and having an Internet connection for accessing at least one remote Javascript database;

displaying a video content across a all of the plurality of display tiles, the video content generated from the media file;

detecting a user and seamlessly transitioning said one or more of the plurality display tiles from the video content to a separate video content for interaction with the user; and

displaying the separate interactive video content on said one or more of a plurality of video display tiles interacting with the user.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the computer memory contains front end software for displaying the media file and back end software for pulling instructions and content from the at least one Javascript database, and upon initiation by a user, the back end software instructs the front end software to display the separate interactive video content.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein the back end software contains one or more Javascript components and the front end software pulls instructions from at least one Javascript component through which the back end software is configured to serve the separate interactive video content.

14. The method of claim 12 wherein the back end software stores content on a document-based database.

15. The method of claim 12 wherein the back end software stores content in a simple storage service.

16. The method of claim 15 wherein the video content is generated by streaming from the simple storage service.

17. The method of claim 12 wherein the back end software pulls instructions and content from a first Javascript database and then from a second Javascript database.

18. The method of claim 17 wherein the back end software pulls instructions and content from the first Javascript database at one predefined time and from the second Javascript database at another predefined time.

19. The method of claim 18 wherein the back end software updates content from the first Javascript database at one predefined time and from the second Javascript database at another predefined time.

20. The method of claim 11 wherein the media file is stored on the at least one Javascript database.
