Abstract: A system includes a display in a setting, the display being mounted vertically on a wall in the setting, a camera structure mounted on the wall on which the display is mounted, and a processor. The processor may count a number of people passing the digital display and within the view of the display even when people are not looking at the display. The processor may process an image form the camera structure to detect faces to determine the number of people within the field of view (FOV) of the display at any given time. The processor may dynamically change a resolution on the display based on information supplied by the camera.

Abstract: A frame to be mounted on a separate display, the frame including a bezel and a camera mounted in the bezel.

Abstract: An intelligent messaging system automatically conveys messages generated by a variety of message sources to one or more designated message recipients who receive communications via different types of communication devices, including a large character display. A message server automatically dispatches messages and updates to messages to a communication device interface which converts the message and message updates to a protocol compatible with the types of communication devices used by the designated message recipients. The converted message is further routed to local or remote communication destinations at which the message recipients' communication devices are located. Automatic, real-time updates of messages can thus be achieved.

Abstract: A system and method for transmitting a message generated by a message source to diverse communication devices. The types of communication devices to receive the message and their respective sites are selected in response to message parameters contained in the message file. The message is converted to a format appropriate for communicating with selected communication devices and then automatically transmitted to the selected sites.

Abstract: A display sign includes a matrix of LED lights which are energized from an unregulated power supply during periodic duty cycles. The duty cycles are adjusted by a programmed microprocessor such that the power supply is not overloaded when a large number of LEDs are energized, and such that excessive power is not applied to the LEDs when a small number of LEDs are energized and the power supply voltage increases.
