Aspects of the disclosure direct to systems and methods for updating the operating system of a signage device and registering the signage device to a global network. The signage device has a computer system. When booting, the BIOS of the computer system loads an installer to install a preferred operating system and client software onto a hard drive, and boots the preferred operating system and the client software from the hard drive. Once executed, the client software detects and transmits configuration information of the computer system to a management server of a Digital Signage Device Central Management System (SDCMS). The management server determines resources appropriate for the computer system based on the received configuration information, and sends the resources back to the client software. The client software then transmits signage device identifying information to the management server to register the signage device to a global network of managed signage devices.

Technologies are described herein for remote management of sensors and other functionalities in a digital signage device through a remote management server. In particular, a Digital Signage Control System (“DSCS”) facilitates delivery of sensor command parameters to particular signage devices or a network of signage devices as specified in a Sensor Command Deployment Plan. After receiving various sensor commands from a user at a user interface, a Sensor Command Deployment Module generates a Sensor Command Deployment Plan (“SCDP”), which specifies which sensors or controls should be adjusted on signage device(s) and when the adjustments should be made. Subsequently, a Signage Communication Module (“SCM”) waits for a request for sensor instructions from a signage device specified in the plan. Once the request is received, the SCM deploys specific instructions or commands (parameters) to a particular signage device wherein the command is executed at the signage device.

Certain aspects direct to a three-dimensional display device, which includes a display module defining a plurality of pixels, a barrier module, a sensing module, and a controller. For a viewer of the display module, the barrier module allows the viewer to perceives light emitted from the display module to form left-eye and right-eye views to form a three-dimensional virtual image. The sensing module generates sensing signals in response to detecting an object. The controller is configured to generate display signals for the display module to control the pixels, receive the sensing signals from the sensing module, and generate an object coordinate according to the sensing signals. In response to a display instruction, the controller controls the display module to display a three-dimensional virtual input device. In response to the object coordinate matching coordinates of an input region of the three-dimensional virtual input device, the controller generates an input command.

A virtual disk carousel is provided that is capable of creating disk images from optical disks and storing the disk images. The virtual disk carousel includes a bridge device configured to expose disk images stored at the virtual disk carousel to a computer by way of a standard storage device. When the computer performs read requests on the standard storage device exposed by the bridge device, the bridge device receives the requests from the computer, retrieves the appropriate portion of the disk image from the virtual disk carousel, and provides the portion of the disk image to the computer. The bridge device might also include a display and user input controls for managing the operation of the bridge device. The virtual disk carousel might also provide a user interface for managing the disk images, selecting a disk image to be exposed to the computer, and for performing other functions.

Certain aspects direct to systems and methods for distributing segmented media content to digital signage devices in a private network. In certain embodiments, the system includes a Media Content Distribution System (MCDS). Upon receiving an instruction to distribute an item of media content, the MCDS retrieves and segments the item from a storage server, and stores the segments in the storage server. When a first digital signage device requests for a segment, the MCDS transmits a storage link of the requested segment to the first digital signage device. Thus, the first digital signage device may retrieve the requested segment from the storage server, and send an address identifying a storage location of the requested segment stored in the private network back to the MCDS. When a second digital signage device also requests for the same segment, the MCDS transmits the address to the second digital signage device.

Aspects of the present disclosure directs to inspection of pixels of a display device using photon collection. In certain embodiments, the display device includes a display panel defining multiple pixels in a pixel matrix. A controller divides the pixel matrix into multiple areas, with each area including at least one pixel, and assigns a threshold value for each area. The controller then controls the pixels in one area to emit light displaying a color. A transparent photon collection panel attached to the display panel receives the light displayed by the area, and generates an analog signal in response to the light. An analog to digital (A/D) converter converts the analog signal to a photon current value. The controller receives the photon current values corresponding to each area, and compares the photon current value with the threshold value for each area to determine a flag value for the area.
