MESSAGING DEVICE AND SYSTEM

摘要

A display device configured to display and/or playback information received from a remote computer over a network. The device includes a processor coupled to a visual display and a memory storing computer-executable instructions and a device identifier. The device is coupled to the network by a network interface configured to send a request including the device identifier periodically to the remote computer. The remote computer is configured to receive messages from other remote computers for display and/or playback by the display device. In response to each request, the remote computer uses the device identifier to identify messages for the display device stored in a device account, which are subsequently downloaded by the display device for display and/or playback thereby. The processor is operable to display and/or playback information in the downloaded message.
