A radio frequency identification (RFID) dispenser that includes low cost electronic components that can read and write to the tag of a refill cartridge. In one embodiment, the reader utilizes a multi band pass filter to convert the radio frequency identification into a digital signal that is processed by a controller to perform a dispensing function representative to the code of the tag. In another embodiment, the controller utilizes an internal comparator to convert the radio frequency identification into a digital signal that is processed by a controller to perform a dispensing function representative to the code of the tag. The dispenser in both embodiments also includes a pair of transistors that write to the RFID tag of the refill cartridge. A dispenser according to the invention also includes the capability to read and/or write to tags upon cartridges employed by the dispenser, and augmenting the operation of the dispenser as a function thereof. Additionally, a dispenser of variable size is presented that is adaptable, through adjustable partitions or a telescoping cup, to receive and maintain cartridges of various sizes.

A method and digital signage player for managing display of a distributed digital signage content. The digital signage player stores the distributed digital signage content, and a local placement target for the distributed digital signage content. The digital signage player displays the distributed digital signage content in accordance with the local placement target. The digital signage player exchanges messages with a neighbor digital signage player, for increasing the local placement target of the distributed digital signage content at the request of the neighbor digital signage player. The neighbor digital signage player also displays the distributed digital signage content in accordance with its own placement target, which needs to be decreased. The digital signage player ultimately increases the local placement target of the distributed digital signage content based on the messages exchanged with the neighbor digital signage player.
