Abstract

Systems and methods for dynamically adjusting display content and parameters on a display region are provided. A display manager can control a display environment including a plurality of display regions and can display content items in the display regions. The display manager can identify an event record placed via a client device located in a display zone corresponding to a display region of the display environment. The event record can correspond to an event associated with at least one of the respective content items. The display manager can determine to change a first content item displayed within the display region or a value of a parameter of the display region. The display manager can modify the display region by replacing the first content item with a second content item corresponding to the event associated with the event record or by adjusting the parameter of the display region.

Claims (37)

1. A method, comprising:

presenting, by one or more processors, content on a plurality of display regions of a display system, a subset of the plurality of display regions presenting television content;

receiving, by the one or more processors, from a client device, a wager identifying a live sporting event;

responsive to receiving the wager, determining, by the one or more processors, that at least one display region of the subset is presenting a broadcast of the live sporting event;

detecting, by the one or more processors, a change in a score of the live sporting event; and

adjusting, by the one or more processors, responsive to determining that the at least one display region is presenting the broadcast of the live sporting event and based on the change in the score, a display parameter of the at least one display region of the display system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting the display parameter of the at least one display region comprises adjusting, by the one or more processors, a first number of pixels assigned to the at least one display region.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, by the one or more processors, that the wager causes a display region modification condition to be satisfied.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the display parameter of the at least one display region is adjusted responsive to determining that the at least one display region is presenting the live sporting event and responsive to determining that the wager causes the display region modification condition to be satisfied.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising adjusting, by the one or more processors, a number of pixels allocated to a second content item presented by the display system responsive to determining that the at least one display region is presenting the live sporting event.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising adjusting, by the one or more processors, a display location of the at least one display region responsive to determining that the at least one display region is presenting the live sporting event.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising determining, by the one or more processors, the display location based at least on location data corresponding to the client device.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting, by the one or more processors, an increase in wagering activity for the live sporting event; and

adjusting, by the one or more processors, the display parameter of the at least one display region presented by the display system responsive to detecting the increase in wagering activity.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising replacing, by the one or more processors, a second content item presented by the display system with the at least one display region.

10. A system, comprising:

one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory, the one or more processors configured to:

present content on a plurality of display regions of a display system, a subset of the plurality of display regions presenting television content;

receive, from a client device, a wager identifying a live sporting event;

responsive to receiving the wager, determine that at least one display region of the subset is presenting a broadcast of the live sporting event;

detect a change in a score of the live sporting event; and

adjust, responsive to determining that the at least one display region is presenting the broadcast of the live sporting event and based on the change in the score, a display parameter of the at least one display region of the display system.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to adjust the display parameter of the at least one display region by performing operations comprising adjusting a first number of pixels assigned to the at least one display region.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine that the wager causes a display region modification condition to be satisfied.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the display parameter of the at least one display region is adjusted responsive to determining that the at least one display region is presenting the live sporting event and responsive to determining that the wager causes the display region modification condition to be satisfied.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to adjust a number of pixels allocated to a second content item presented by the display system responsive to determining that the at least one display region is presenting the live sporting event.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to adjust a display location of the at least one display region responsive to determining that the at least one display region is presenting the live sporting event.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the display location based at least on location data corresponding to the client device.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

detect an increase in wagering activity for the live sporting event; and

adjust the display parameter of the at least one display region presented by the display system responsive to detecting the increase in wagering activity.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to replace a second content item presented by the display system with the at least one display region.

19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wager is a second wager, and further comprising:

responsive to receiving a first wager prior to the second wager, causing, by the one or more processors, the at least one display region of the subset to present the broadcast of the live sporting event.

20. The system of claim 10 , wherein the wager is a second wager, and wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

responsive to receiving a first wager prior to the second wager, cause the at least one display region of the subset to present the broadcast of the live sporting event.
