Abstract: A system and method for offline content delivery through an active screen display is provided. Data for display and content to be displayed at a later time are encoded as a display signal for delivery. An active screen display is associated with a computer and coupled to a processor over a physical display interface connection. The display signal is received and decoded to distinguish the data for display from the content to be displayed at a later time. The content to be displayed at a later time is displayed via the active screen display when the computer is one of turned off and inactive.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for off-line delivery of content through an active screen display are provided. A processor includes an encoding application to assemble and encode digitally-stored content into encoded content, and to interleave the encoded content with a signal conveying a live screen representation. The live screen representation includes output of a user interface for applications executing on the processor. An active screen display is coupled to the processor over a physical display interface connection. The active screen display includes a runtime application to identify the encoded content within the signal on the active screen display and to decode the encoded content into decoded content. The active screen display further includes an offline application to unilaterally display the decoded content on the active screen display without use of the processor and in an absence of the live screen presentation.
