Method, system, and device for determining a location of micro digital signage devices
First Claim
1. A micro digital signage device for determining a location of another micro digital signage device, the micro digital signage device comprising:
- communication circuitry to receive a unique identifier from a micro digital signage server, wherein the unique identifier uniquely identifies the micro digital signage device from other micro digital signage devices;
a data storage to store the unique identifier received from the micro digital signage server;
a display to display the unique identifier in response to the communication circuitry receiving instructions from the micro digital signage server;
a camera to capture an image of another micro digital signage device that is attached to a shelving unit different from a shelving unit to which the micro digital signage device is attached in response to the communication circuitry receiving instructions from the micro digital signage server; and
wherein the communication circuitry further to transmit the captured image of the one or more other micro digital signage devices to the micro digital signage server for identification, and wherein the display is to stop displaying the unique identifier in response to the communication circuitry receiving instructions from the micro digital signage server.

Abstract
A device, system, and method for determining a location of micro digital signage devices includes generating and transmitting a unique identifier corresponding to each micro digital signage device. Each micro digital signage device is to display its corresponding unique identifier and capture an image of other micro digital signage devices located on an opposite side of an aisle. The captured images are to be stitched together to generate a composite image. The unique identifiers of the micro digital signage devices are to be identified and the location of each micro digital signage device is to be determined using a known location of one of the micro digital signage devices as a reference. Each micro digital signage device identified from the composite image is to clear its corresponding unique identifier from display.

7. One or more machine readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, in response to being executed, cause a micro digital signage device to:
-
receive device, a unique identifier from a micro digital signage server, wherein the unique identifier uniquely identifies the micro digital signage device from other micro digital signage devices; store the unique identifier in a local storage; display, on a display of the micro digital signage device, the unique identifier in response to receipt of instructions from the micro digital signage server to display the unique identifier; capture, by a camera of the micro digital signage device, an image of another micro digital signage device that is attached to a shelving unit different from a shelving unit to which the micro digital signage device is attached in response to receipt of instructions from the micro digital signage server to capture the image; transmit the captured image of the one or more other micro digital signage devices to the micro digital signage server for identification; and stop the displaying of the unique identifier on the display in response to receipt of instructions from the micro digital signage server to stop the display of the unique identifier. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method for determining a location of another micro digital signage device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a micro digital signage device, a unique identifier from a micro digital signage server, wherein the unique identifier uniquely identifies the micro digital signage device from other micro digital signage devices; storing, by the micro digital signage device, the unique identifier in a local storage; displaying, on a display of the micro digital signage device, the unique identifier in response to receiving instructions from the micro digital signage server to display the unique identifier; capturing, by a camera of the micro digital signage device, an image of another micro digital signage device that is attached to a shelving unit different from a shelving unit to which the micro digital signage device is attached in response to receiving instructions from the micro digital signage server to capture the image; transmitting, by the micro digital signage device, the captured image of the one or more other micro digital signage devices to the micro digital signage server for identification; and stopping, by the micro digital signage device, the displaying of the unique identifier on the display in response to receiving instructions from the micro digital signage server to stop the display of the unique identifier. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
