  • Patent number: 9734744
    Abstract: Disclosed is a digital sign system and method of use thereof. The system includes a digital sign having a controller board having a microcontroller, a temperature sensor communicably coupled to fans or a cooling/heating unit, an ambient light sensor, a GPS unit, a radar, a communication module, and a power source, wherein the controller board is in communication with an LED panel or another display module for digitally outputting messages, further wherein the digital sign is mounted on a pilot truck to allow the pilot truck to relay messages to a transport truck and oncoming vehicles. The digital sign is in communication with a second GPS unit disposed on the transport truck so as to track the real-time location of the truck. The digital sign measures the distance between a transport and the digital pilot truck sign and displays the relative distances between the two on the digital message board.

  • Publication number: 20150170212
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method of updating a message or image displayed on an electronic screen via wireless communications device or remote website. Messages are entered into the communications device (an input terminal) or web interface using one or more input methods. Input methods include alphanumeric text input, verbal commands translated into text input, visual content stored on the input device, or written input via the input device. The input is then transmitted as digital data to one or more electronic screens, where the input is then displayed. The input can be modified and edits prior to transmission. Thus, users can update an electronic display remotely. One or more input devices can modify one display, or alternatively one input device can be used to modify multiple displays. Each electronic display is in enabled to wirelessly communicate over a wireless network such as a Wi-Fi, cellular, or Bluetooth network.

  • Patent number: 8976009
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method of updating a message displayed on an electronic screen via wireless communications device or remote website. Messages are entered into the communications device (input terminal) or web interface via verbal commands or entered text. The input is then transmitted to one or more electronic screens, where the message is displayed. Thus, users can update an electronic display without directly manipulating the display screen. Each electronic screen is in enabled to wirelessly communicate over cellular networks and via BlueTooth connections. These connection methods enable pairing of multiple electronic screens to a single wireless communications device, as well as allowing multiple communications devices to manipulate any given screen directly or via web interface.

Messages are entered into the communications device (input terminal) via verbal commands or entered text. The input is then transmitted to one or more electronic screens, where the message is displayed. Thus, users can update an electronic display without directly manipulating the display screen or physically entering text. Each electronic screen is in communication with each paired wireless communications device via a Bluetooth connection. This connection method enables the pairing of multiple electronic screens to a single wireless communications device, as well as allowing multiple communications devices to manipulate any given screen.
