Digital information system

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement of assigning time slots, an information-category and a priority of exposure for spots or blocks of information in a digital information system (10) comprising interfaces for data and telecommunication (26) for round-the-clock transmission of information at places accessible to and frequented by a general public including places where television sets are placed, wherein a control centre (12) has communication interfaces (14) for coordinating and controlling projectors (22), wherein the control centre (12) is able to create and update an exposure list (50) with time slots in real time. In said exposure list (50), it being determined how many times an information is to be exposed during a specific time period. Single spots or blocks of information are assigned a specific information-category and a priority of exposure, which priority is decremented a specific unit of priority for each exposure. It solves problems relating to inhibiting other mediators from booking information in adjacent time slots, both before and after ordered information in the list, with information of the same category, to sort the display list (50) in a favourable fashion for mediators and the system (10) itself and in keeping track of booked information and in billing for display time etc. The information is displayed according to assigned priority, thus exposure interruption due to visual inaccessibility for information viewers is evened out during said specific time period for single spot or block information.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for inserting or dividing in time slots a list of presentations with a 24-hour cycle and assigning information categories and presentation priorities to information points or information blocks in order to control and coordinate projections in a digital information system The projector thereby displays information on at least one of the display devices via the medium of at least one of the projectors for said display device, said information being displayed at a location accessible and / or frequented by the public. In a specific aspect, the invention is applied to controlling projectors to display information directly to people in places such as large railway stations, subway stations, airport waiting halls, movie theaters, private homes and the like. Background technique [0002] From the Swedish patent publication SE-C2-507 473 and the international patent publication WO 97 / 41546 of the same applicant as ...
