  • Patent number: 11388478
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display controller that displays, on the basis of a display schedule, content included in distribution data distributed from a content distribution apparatus. The display apparatus determines whether or not content that matches the replacement rule is included in the distribution data. When displaying content included in the distribution data on the basis of the display schedule, if it is determined that content that matches the replacement rule is included in the distribution data, the display apparatus replaces the content with the replacement content and displays the replacement content.
