Apparatus and methods for distributing and displaying communications
Methods and systems are disclosed for event management, allowing authorized users or authorities to distribute and display communications on digital displays. In one aspect, an event management communications system receives event data sent from a detection system comprised of a network of sensors. The event management communications system processes the event data to determine an event perimeter, and then selects one or more digital displays based upon the event data or the determined event perimeter. Next, the event management communications system authors one or more contextual communications corresponding to the one or more digital displays and sends said one or more authored communications to said one or more digital displays, thereby allowing the one or more digital displays to display the corresponding one or more communications to a relevant, identified audience.
1. An event management communications computing device system configured to communicate over a network, wherein the system is caused to:
determine a relevant perimeter based on a received event data;
identify and select a plurality of compatible digital interfaces within the determined relevant perimeter;
convert the received event data into a format recognizable by the selected plurality of compatible digital interfaces;
send one or more communications to a message distribution system;
queue the one or more communications at the message distribution system; and
send the queued communications by the message distribution system to the selected plurality of digital interfaces within the determined relevant perimeter, based on an authorization received by the event management communications computing device system.
2. The event management communications computing device system of claim 1 , wherein the system is further caused to:
send the one or more communications to the selected plurality of digital interfaces via one or more advertizing network operators connected to the network.
3. The event management communications computing device system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of digital interfaces are comprised in a plurality of corresponding digital displays, digital signage systems, OOH digital signage systems, monitors, wireless communication devices, mobile phones, or access devices connected to the network.
4. In an event management communications computing device system configured to communicate over a network, a method comprising:
determining a relevant perimeter based on a received event data;
identifying and selecting a plurality of compatible digital interfaces within the determined relevant perimeter;
converting the received event data into a format recognizable by the selected plurality of compatible digital interfaces;
sending one or more communications to a message distribution system;
queueing the one or more communications at the message distribution system; and
sending the queued communications by the message distribution system to the selected one or more identified corresponding plurality of digital interfaces within the determined relevant perimeter, based on an authorization received by the event management communications computing device system.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
sending the one or more communications to the selected plurality of digital interfaces via one or more advertizing network operators connected to the network.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the plurality of digital interfaces are comprised in a plurality of corresponding digital displays, digital signage systems, OOH digital signage systems, monitors, wireless communication devices, mobile phones, or access devices connected to the network.
