1. A digital bumper sticker for displaying media selected by a user, comprising:
- a support member configured to mount on or in close proximity to a rear surface of a vehicle; and
a substantially planar visual curvilinear display mounted on the support member, wherein the substantially planar visual curvilinear display is configured to;
wirelessly couple to a mobile device;
receive, from the mobile device, a set of images and a schedule defining an order in which the images of the set of images are to be displayed by the digital bumper sticker;
receive, from the mobile device, a control signal directing the substantially planar visual curvilinear display to display the received set of images; and
in response to receiving the control signal and based on a movement of the vehicle, display the images in the set of images in the order defined by the schedule such that a displayed image is visible to a person facing the rear surface of the vehicle; and
in response to determining that the vehicle is stationary for more than a threshold amount of time, configuring the digital bumper sticker to operate in a sleep mode until subsequent vehicle motion is detected.

12. A method for displaying media selected by a user by a digital bumper sticker, comprising:
-
wirelessly coupling, by the digital bumper sticker, to a mobile device, the digital bumper sticker mounted on or in close proximity to a rear surface of a vehicle; accessing, by the digital bumper sticker from the mobile device, a set of images and a schedule defining an order in which the images of the set of images are to be displayed; receiving, by the digital bumper sticker from the mobile device, a control signal directing the wireless bumper sticker to display the accessed set of images when a movement of the vehicle satisfies a movement criteria; in response to the movement of the vehicle satisfying the movement criteria, displaying, by the digital bumper sticker, the images in the set of images in the order defined by the schedule such that a displayed image is visible to a person viewing the rear surface of the vehicle; and in response to determining that the vehicle is stationary for more than a threshold amount of time, configuring the digital bumper sticker to operate in a sleep mode until subsequent vehicle motion is detected. - View Dependent Claims (13)
