Abstract
A bi-directional communication system communicates between a control station, which receives and outputs control signals, and one or more display cabinets. LEDs illuminate objects disposed about the cabinets. Addressable nodes interactively communicate with the control station and selectively operate the LEDs, each node being coupled to the control station and to associated LEDs.

7. An LED display system for illuminating objects disposed in cabinets, the LED display system being coupled to a network, the LED display system comprising:
-
a control station for controlling the LED display system, the control station being coupled to the display system and the network and including;
a signal generator for interactively communicating with the display system by receiving input signals from the display system and generating output signals in response to the received input signals, a display unit, an applications database which is configurable by a user, and an interface database for displaying interactive user interface screens on the display, the user interface screens allowing the user to configure the applications database;
at least one LED for producing a light output, the at least one LED being disposed about the cabinet; and
at least one node for interactively communicating with the control station and selectively operating the at least one LED, the node being coupled to the network and to the at least one LED. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for bi-directionally controlling a light show, comprising:
-
receiving an input signal of a sensor at a control station coupled to a network, the sensor being disposed about a display cabinet;
in response to receiving the sensor signal, generating an output signal sequence to produce a predetermined light show effect; and
selectively changing activation states of associated LEDs disposed about the display cabinet based on the generated output signal sequence via associated nodes. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
