<p>A message output controller (103) which receives continuous pre-recorded advertising messages from a master message playing device and console (101). The system incorporating several controllers (103) and a single console (101) is intended to be installed in a fuel service station, to provide advertising at fuel dispenser pumps. The console (101) plays messages continuously with a tone or the like between each message. The console (101) may include other features such as a public address (PA) system (111 and 113). The controllers (103) each receive the messages, but the messages are not played until a person is proximal, indicated by sensing (141) the nozzle being lifted in the fuel dispenser pump, and the tone or the like indicating a transition between messages being decoded (137). The result is that only complete messages are played at the controller (103). A local message playback device (105) may be included in the message output controller (103), to play a welcome message immediately the nozzle is lifted.</p> |
