[0003] However, the present principles recognize that installing these electronic signs and having them join an electronic signage network to be controlled remotely has proven difficult and labor intensive
For example, electronic displays can be set at heights that technicians cannot easily reach, making it difficult to control and update the electronic signage's software

Embodiment Construction
[0020] initial reference figure 1 In the exemplary embodiment shown in , an exemplary subnetwork ("subnetwork"), generally designated 10, is shown. System 10 includes at least one electronic signage 12 , at least one router 14 and at least one server 16 . For example, the electronic signage 12 may be a television, such as a high-definition television (TV). However, it should be understood that the present principles can also be applied to electronic signage (mobile, indoor and outdoor) such as but not limited to: Internet enabled TVs, smart TVs, big screen TVs, "jumbo screens", computer monitors or Any other type of suitable display, such as digital displays, plasma displays, LCD displays, LED displays, OLED displays, ELD displays, projectors and projector displays, digital posters, tablet computers (e.g. removably mounted on a surface) , touch screen displays (such as a smartphone that can be removably mounted on a surface), logo vests (such as worn by a person), segment di...

The invention discloses a system and method for configuring an electronic sign for operation at an advertising site. An electronic sign includes at least one display, at least one processor controlling the display, and at least one computer readable storage medium accessible to the processor and storing a preprogrammed network address of a control server. The medium is programmed with instructions to cause the processor to automatically, upon initial energization at an advertising site having plural wireless routers all on a common subnet, connect to a wireless router at the advertising site to join the common subnet. The instructions also cause the processor to access the control server using the network address of the server after joining the common subnet. Additionally, the instructions cause the processor to receive, from the control server, configuration information useful in configuring the sign for operation so that the electronic sign, after mechanical installation, does not need to be physically accessed by a technician to further configure the sign for operation.
Description
technical field [0001] The present application generally relates to easily and automatically configuring electronic signs to operate at advertising locations. Background technique [0002] In recent years, in terms of use, the use of electronic signage systems has developed. These electronic signs and their associated systems are used for many purposes, such as advertising and public display of information. In many of these systems, a television (TV) is used as the electronic signage. [0003] However, the present principles recognize that installing these electronic signs and having them join an electronic signage network to be controlled remotely has proven difficult and labor intensive. For example, electronic displays may be set at heights that technicians cannot easily reach, making it difficult to control and update the electronic signage's software. Contents of the invention [0004] Thus, the present principles recognize that deployment, control and updating of ...
