Interactive Kiosk for Displaying Different Types of Content Platforms and Related Technology

摘要

Embodiments are directed to towards an interactive kiosk application for displaying demonstrations for different types of content platforms. A kiosk application may generate a plurality of selectors. The number or type of selector may depend on a demonstration context. The demonstration context may be a technology demonstration context or a consumer experience demonstration context. Selectors may correspond to a particular demonstration for a given content platform. Also, selectors may be associated with a technology feature or a consumer experience associated with the content platforms. Upon activation of a selector, the kiosk application may start the demonstration. The kiosk application may be arranged to generate and record interaction information corresponding to a user's interaction with the demonstration. The interaction information may be communicated to a kiosk management server computer for use in reporting.

主权项

1. A method for interactively displaying demonstrations for types of content platforms that are operative to display content, the method being performed by a client computer that comprises one or more processors, a memory operatively coupled to at least one of the processors, and a computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by and operatively coupled to at least one of the processors, the method comprising:
displaying, on a graphical user interface, a plurality of demonstration-context selectors including at least one of:
a technology-demonstration-context selector; anda consumer-demonstration-context selector; upon activation of the technology-demonstration-context selector by a user, generating, on the graphical user interface, a plurality of demonstration selectors, wherein each demonstration selector relates to a different type of content-platform technology, and corresponds to a demonstration for a type of content platform which employs that content-platform technology; upon activation of the consumer-demonstration-context selector by a user, generating, on the graphical user interface, a plurality of demonstration selectors, wherein each demonstration selector relates to a location or activity that a consumer may experience, and corresponds to a demonstration for a type of content platform that reaches the consumer during that location-or-activity experience; upon activation of at least one demonstration selector by a user, performing further actions comprising:
displaying, on the graphical user interface or on a demonstration station, at least a section of the demonstration that corresponds to the activated demonstration selector;generating, on the graphical user interface, at least one section menu item that corresponds to the currently displayed section of the demonstration; andgenerating, on the graphical user interface, at least one action button that corresponds to the currently displayed section of the demonstration; upon interaction by the user with the at least one section menu item and the at least one action button, generating interaction information that corresponds to the user's interaction with the at least one section menu item and the at least one action button; and communicating the interaction information to at least a kiosk management server computer, wherein the kiosk management server computer generates a report that includes at least the interaction information.
