<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a digital display network having nodes for preventing any unnecessary band width consumption for giving flexibility to the way of the rendering and provisioning of content. <P>SOLUTION: The digital signage network includes: a plurality of content sources for generating content formatted according to a common data model; a distribution node for receiving content from the plurality of content sources; and a display node for displaying the content received from the distribution node. A digital signage network uses a common data model and a contract system to distribute data generated from a plurality of data sources to a number of displays. The network nodes interact with each other as content sources, content consumers, or both, with some systems acting as consumers to upstream sources and acting as sources to downstream consumers. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
