An electronic apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a storage to store files corresponding to static sub contents and dynamic sub content, respectively, a communicator to communicate with an external apparatus, and a processor to provide a graphic user interface comprising a plurality of menu items to produce a content having a plurality of pages; in response to at least one static sub content and at least one dynamic sub content being included in any page from among the plurality of pages of the content produced, to generate a content package comprising a single image in which the at least one static sub content is included for the corresponding page and the at least one dynamic sub content, which is displayed on the single image, based on a user input on the UI; and to transmit the generated content package to the external apparatus.

Systems and methods are provided for using a non-regulated device to generate data objects via a regulated device. A first device can provide interface content items corresponding to one or more events for which to generate a data object, and receive, via a user selection, object information identifying an event of the one or more events, one or more object parameters, and a second device identifier identifying a second device of the user. The first device can generate a request to provide the object information to one or more servers, and transmit the request to provide the object information to one or more servers. The request causes the one or more servers to store an entry including the object information, generate a link to the object information, and transmit a message including the link to the second device of the user using the second device identifier.

Content distribution systems, methods and user interfaces are described wherein a modulator dynamically duplicates output of multiple channels, a plurality of receivers are individually tuned to one of the multiple channels, wherein a single transport stream can be sent on the multiple channels to each of the desired receivers and wherein the distribution can occur in multiple modes, and user interfaces which allow a manager of the content distribution system to dynamically change the channels on each receiver so that each of the receivers can be tuned to one of the multiple channels through the user interface.

A device, system, and method may provide an audio component of a multimedia stream playing on a video monitor to one or more wireless computing devices. The extracted audio component of the multimedia content may be packetized into data packets and broadcast via a network such that the data packets can be received by the wireless computing devices and the audio component can be played by the wireless computing devices in synchronization with the visual component playing on the video monitor.

Provided is a network system that comprises a camera provided at a predetermined shooting point, a camera system for providing a shooting service by the camera, and an information processing apparatus carried by a user. In the network system, a notification of a confirmation for shooting is provided to the information processing apparatus detected in a shooting area of the camera in accordance with a movement of the user, and a camera control right is controlled. If an instruction for an operation of the camera is inputted on the information processing apparatus in accordance with an acquisition of the camera control right, an image shot by the camera following the inputted instruction is provided to the information processing apparatus through the camera system.

A system for remotely monitoring and controlling one or more electronic displays containing several hardware components. The components may electronically communicate with a network connection which can be used to establish communication with a local area network and/or the internet. A personal computing device can be used to run a user interface which allows the user to access a wealth of information from the electronic display as well as change controlling software, operating parameters, and check for downtime incidents or failures. Various sensors and measurement devices can be installed within the display to provide the information which may be stored locally or stored remotely for real-time access or on-demand access.

Gauging consumer interest of in-person visitors is described. In one or more embodiments, a promotional apparatus having a display screen and a wireless beacon is deployed at a venue. The promotional apparatus presents a video having multiple video segments. During the presentation, the beacon and a mobile device of a venue visitor communicate wirelessly to determine a proximity of the visitor to the display screen. Multiple distances are determined at multiple times. A path of movement can be determined from the distances over time. If the visitor alters a direction of travel to veer toward the screen or stops walking close to the screen, a system infers that the video has engaged the visitor's attention. By linking particular video segments to times at which the mobile device is proximate to the display screen, the system can further infer consumer interest in specific product features being shown at those times.

A commercial product configured to detect operation to the commercial product and to transmit the detected result, and a digital signage including a signage board configured to output visual content, a content storing unit which stores visual content corresponding to each of a plurality of kinds of operation of the commercial product, a communication unit configured to receive a result of detection from a transmission unit of a detection apparatus, a CPU configured to read corresponding visual content from the storing unit based on the received result of the detection and to make the signage board output the read visual content are included.

A system and method are disclosed for providing a promotion associated with a transaction account. Target viewer information associated with at least one person targeted to receive an ad is identified. In accordance with the target viewer information and the ad, a probability of the at least one person to accept the promotion is determined. Promotion information associated with the promotion is selected as a function of the determined probability, and the promotion information is transmitted to a computing device associated with the at least one person. An acceptance of the promotion is received from the computing device associated with the at least one person, and processed to associate the promotion with the transaction account.

Systems and methods are described herein for recommending a display device for media consumption. The location and media content preference of the user is determined and used to recommend the location of a display device that is currently displaying content relevant to the user. For example, if a user walks into a restaurant and indicates that he wishes to watch one of the televisions, he is directed to a television at the far side of the room which is already playing the sports (e.g., basketball) game with his favorite team. This helps ensure that users are able to find and consume content that is meaningful to them in public spaces.
