The present invention improves the ability to attract customers to a store by realizing an advertisement suited to the status of the store in real time through use of digital signage. A digital signage control apparatus according to the present invention is for distributing information to be displayed on a digital signage via a network, and has: a storage means for storing special-offer information of the store; a detection means for detecting the level of vacancy of a store facility provided to a user, and a distribution means for distributing, to the digital signage, special-offer information based on the level of vacancy of the store facility, wherein the distribution means distributes special-offer information that is further special if the level of vacancy of the store facility is higher, and the use period of the special-offer information is set shorter if the level of vacancy of the store facility is higher.

A mobile device link system in which, to a mobile device detected by position information measurement to have entered a distribution area, recommendation information corresponding to the distribution area which the mobile device has entered is distributed; to a mobile device detected by local communication to have entered a local communication area, right information indicating that the mobile device has the right to receive service information is transmitted; and using the right information, service information is requested and service information is received.

A projection system of the present disclosure includes: a flying object having an exterior body, a flying device that causes the exterior body to fly, and an image capturing device that captures an image; a projection device that projects a capture-dependent image on the exterior body, the captured-dependent image depending on the image; and a controller that causes the projection device to project the capture-dependent image.

A monitoring, alerting and reporting system and methods for recording and monitoring specific portions of static and digital displays and display panels, such as billboards, by recording the display using multiple cameras and providing remote monitoring, operational reporting and alerts, along with POP services, which include a web-based or application-based monitoring, alerting and reporting system. For accuracy purposes, the system relies on a camera to record the actual advertisement or message being displayed on the billboard, while a second camera is used to record a unique identification code or mark pertaining to the particular advertisement being displayed, whether the advertisement is an image, a video or even text. By recording both the actual video and the identification code, the system can accurately monitor and report on the various advertisements being displayed, including the time and length of display.

A surface collectible (10) includes a surface member (12) and a textile (316) secured to the surface member (12). The surface member (12) is detached from a venue surface (11). The surface member (12) can be event-used. In one embodiment, the surface member (12) can include flooring. The textile (316) can include at least a portion of an article of clothing. The article of clothing can also be event-used. The surface collectible (10) can also include an image (214) imprinted on the surface member (12). The image (214) can include a sporting logo. Alternatively, the image (214) can include at least one of a professional athlete, a non-professional athlete, an athletically-involved person, an entertainer, an actor, a historical figure and a public figure. The surface collectible (10) may further include an autograph (418) inscribed on the surface member (12) and/or on the textile (316).

A display apparatus uses a LED array having a LED pixel pitch, having LED pixels emitting light with viewing angles . A transmissive diffuser panel is mounted with the LED array, having a directly lit, non-planar diffuser panel surface spaced away from the LED array by at least distance D. The distance D and the viewing angles being are effective to merge illumination from multiple LED pixels in the LED array on the directly lit diffuser panel surface. A controller is connected to the LED array having circuitry to control the LED array in response to image data to induce display via the diffuser panel of a time varying image with spatially varying colors and intensities.

The present disclosure facilitates the establishment of near field communication with a mobile terminal while also preventing malfunctions and an increase in burden of maintenance. A display apparatus (10) includes: at least one antenna (140) for carrying out near field communication with a mobile terminal (20), the at least one antenna being provided so as to positionally overlap with a display section (160). In a case where the mobile terminal comes into proximity to the display section, the display section is caused to display a guide for bringing the mobile terminal in proximity to at least one of the at least one antenna.

There is provided a content output system, a terminal device, a content output method, and a recording medium which can increase accuracy in measurement of a degree of attention to content. A content output system including a communication unit which receives a signal from a surrounding user device, an output unit which outputs content, and a control unit which determines, on the basis of user state data indicating a state of a user corresponding to a user device, which is included in a broadcast signal from the user device, that the user corresponding to the user device is paying attention to content output by the output unit when a radio wave intensity of the received signal is equal to or higher than a predetermined value.
