  • Publication number: 20250043979
    Abstract: Digital signage units for generating air quality related alerts and providing advertising images and/or wayfinding are disclosed, along with related systems and methods. The digital signage unit includes an air quality monitoring device located along an open loop pathway for ambient air. The air quality monitoring device includes sensor(s) and receives air characteristic measurement data from the sensor(s), where the air characteristic measurement data indicates a concentration for each of certain compound(s). Where the concentration of any one of the compound(s) exceeds a respective predetermined threshold, content displayed at an electronic display of the digital signage unit is modified to include displaying an alert.

  • Patent number: 11971181
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and method for monitoring air quality are provided. Digital out-of-home advertising display units are located within a geographic area. The units include an electronic display for displaying advertising images located at a housing, an open loop pathway for ambient air extending between an ingestion and exhaustion area of the housing. An air quality monitoring device located along the open loop pathway includes comprising sensor(s) for measuring characteristics of encountered gasses which are electronically communicated by a network connectivity device to a monitoring station. The monitoring station generates visual representations of the received measurements, at least one of which summarizes the measurements from multiple ones of the units.
