SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING A SIGNAGE SYSTEM OF A TRANSIT VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A sign-monitoring system comprising:
- at least one electronic sign, the at least one electronic sign comprising;
a pixel array, the pixel array comprising a plurality of pixels; and
an embedded controller coupled to the at least one electronic sign operable to develop diagnostic information for the at least one electronic sign, the diagnostic information comprising information related to a number of malfunctioning pixels in the plurality of pixels;
a controller comprising a processor and memory communicably coupled to the embedded controller, wherein the controller;
receives at least a portion of the diagnostic information from the embedded controller; and
assessing at least a portion of the diagnostic information to develop health information, the assessment comprising evaluating the information related to the number of malfunctioning pixels.

Abstract
A sign-monitoring system includes at least one electronic sign and a controller comprising a processor and memory. The electronic sign includes a pixel array, the pixel array including a plurality of pixels. The electronic sign further includes an embedded controller coupled to the at least one electronic sign. The embedded controller develops diagnostic information for the at least one electronic sign, the diagnostic information including information related to a number of malfunctioning pixels in the plurality of pixels. The controller is communicably coupled to the embedded controller and receives at least a portion of the diagnostic information from the embedded controller. In addition, the controller assesses the at least a portion of the diagnostic information to develop health information. The assessment involves evaluating the information related to the number of malfunctioning pixels.
