Abstract: Methods for installing an advertising unit at an installation area of a surface are provided. The installation area is cleaned. One or more holes are formed in the installation area. The adhesive is applied at the installation area. The advertising unit is deposited at the installation area atop the adhesive. A fastener is passed through at least a portion of the advertising unit into each of the one or more holes. The adhesive is cured.

Abstract: A method for installing an advertising unit on a ground surface includes cleaning an installation area located at the ground surface, applying an adhesive at the installation area, depositing the advertising unit at the installation area atop the adhesive, and curing the adhesive. In some embodiments, the advertising unit comprises a back unit having a track which accommodates a cover in a sliding fashion. In some embodiments, the installation area may be excavated to render an upper surface of the advertising unit flush with the surface of the ground when deposited.

Abstract: An advertising unit advertising unit includes a back unit adapted to be secured to a parking lot. A cover comprising a transparent or translucent material is mounted to the back unit to define a cavity. The cover is adapted to withstand the weight of a vehicle passing over or resting atop the cover without experiencing fracture or inelastic deformation. An electronic display is positioned within the cavity.

Abstract: An advertising unit includes a transparent or translucent cover. A back unit includes a base as well as first and second side ridges which extend from, and along, side edges of the base. A track defined by the first and second side ridges is configured to receive the cover in a sliding arrangement. The space between said cover and said back unit defines a cavity configured to receive one or more advertisements.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying advertisements to occupants of vehicles are disclosed. An electronic display is placed between a transparent or translucent cover and a back unit. A camera captures images which are used to determine vehicle identification information for nearby vehicles. Advertising content is displayed on the electronic display based on the vehicle identification information.

Abstract: An apparatus for ground-based advertising is provided. A back unit includes a floor defining a perimeter, ridges extending from the floor and about the perimeter to define a depression, and a cover configured to be slid into the depression and supported by the back and side ridges. A number of holes are located in the back unit to fasten the back unit to the ground. Another hole is located at the edge of the back unit and cover positioned to be aligned when the cover is installed on the back unit. A cavity is defined by the back unit and the cover into which advertisements and parking space numbers are placed.

Abstract: A device for displaying an advertisement in a parking lot which has a number of parking spaces includes a back unit configured for placement at a predetermined position associated with one of the respective parking spaces in said parking lot. A cover is mounted to said back unit such that said back unit and said cover form an enclosed compartment. A slot is positioned within said cover is configured to receive an advertisement for deposit within said enclosed compartment. A material capable of undergoing phosphorescence is positioned within said enclosed compartment to illuminate deposited advertisements.
