Benefits of technology

The system effectively engages users by providing a dynamic and multimedia-rich experience, keeping attention, and is cost-effective, with the potential for financial sustainability through advertising revenue, while allowing for secure and convenient wireless transactions.

Problems solved by technology

Current systems for information dissemination, especially for disseminating to the members of the public who take public means of transportation, are currently inadequate.
However, as noted above, these systems are inadequate.
Such static forms are purely visual and cannot be readily changed in response to changed conditions.
Unfortunately, the ubiquity of televisions and computers have had a deleterious effect on the attention span of the average person.
As such, current static systems are unable to keep people's attention.
Another major drawback of current systems is the lack of an audio component.
While there are some information dissemination systems that integrate an audio portion (such as publicly accessible television sets), these can be intrusive and annoying to those who do not wish to take advantage of the system.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]Referring to FIG. 1, a block diagram of a system for distributing information is illustrated. The system has 10 has a network hub 20, multiple video distribution hubs 30A-30E, audio distribution hubs 40A, 40B, and at least one telephone interface 50. The network hub receives multiple audio feeds 60, video feeds 70, and hub end combined audio / video feeds 80 from a variety of sources. These feeds are then separated into dedicated audio only and video-only feeds. The dedicated audio-only feeds are sent to the audio distribution hubs 40A, 40B while the dedicated video-only feeds are sent to the video distribution hubs 30A-30E. At the video distribution hubs, the relevant video only feeds are transmitted to multiple video display screens 90A-90K by transmitters 100A-100E. On the audio side, the telephone interface 50 receives the dedicated audio only feed and routes this to the telephone interface 50. The telephone interface 50 receives telephone calls from end users who wish to ac...
