Abstract

A security and marketing system according to the present invention includes a processor configured to execute programming instructions and a memory in data communication with the processor. The memory is configured to store the programming instructions for execution by the processor and digital content. A display device is in data communication with the processor and configured to display the digital content according to the programming instructions. The display device includes a generally transparent view portal. The system includes a video camera adjacent the display device and adjacent the view portal, the video camera being directed to record an area forward of the display device.

Claims

1. A security and marketing system, comprising:

a processor configured to execute programming instructions;

a memory in data communication with said processor, said memory configured to store said programming instructions for execution by said processor and digital content;

a display device in data communication with said processor and configured to display said digital content according to said programming instructions, said display device including a generally transparent view portal; and

a video camera rearwardly adjacent said display device and adjacent said view portal, said video camera being directed to record data from an area forward of said display device.

2. The security and marketing system as in claim 1, wherein said video camera is electrically connected to said memory for storing recorded data.

3. The security and marketing system as in claim 1, wherein said display device includes:

a display device framework;

a display screen situated in said framework.

4. The security and marketing system as in claim 3, wherein said display device framework defines said view portal.

5. The security and marketing system as in claim 4, wherein said view portal is a tinted window.

6. The security and marketing system as in claim 3, wherein said display screen is substantially transparent when said digital content is not displayed thereon.

7. The security and marketing system as in claim 6, wherein said transparent display screen is said view portal.

8. The security and marketing system as in claim 7, wherein:

said display device is a touch screen configured to receive touch screen data input;

programming when executed by said processor causes said digital content to be changed according to said touch screen data input.

9. The security and marketing system as in claim 5, wherein:

said display device is a touch screen configured to receive touch screen data input;

programming when executed by said processor causes said digital content to be changed according to said touch screen data input.

10. The security and marketing system as in claim 1, wherein:

said display device is a touch screen configured to receive touch screen data input;

programming when executed by said processor causes said digital content to be changed according to said touch screen data input.

11. The security and marketing system as in claim 1, wherein said display device includes at least one mounting member configured to mount said display device to a wall, said at least one mounting member defining said view portal.

12. The security and marketing system as in claim 1, further comprising a USB port in data communication with said processor configured to communicate digital content to said memory.

13. The security and marketing system as in claim 5, wherein said video camera is removably coupled to a back of said display device framework adjacent said view portal.

14. The security and marketing system as in claim 1, further comprising:

a transmitter in data communication with said processor;

programming that when executed by said processor causes said transmitter to transmit said recorded data;

a receiver in data communication with said processor;

programming that when executed by said processor that causes said receiver to receive additional digital content for storage in said memory.

15. The security and marketing system as in claim 1, further comprising:

programming that when executed by said processor causes said video camera to record data from an area forward of said display device; and

programming that when executed by said processor causes said recorded data to be stored in memory.

16. The security and marketing system as in claim 15, further comprising:

programming that when executed by said processor causes said video camera to stop recording upon receiving an administrator interrupt input indicative of a new content update; and

programming that when executed by said processor causes said video camera to stop recording upon receiving an administrator interrupt input indicative of a request to playback recorded data.

17. The security and marketing system as in claim 8, further comprising:

programming that when executed by said processor causes said video camera to record data from an area forward of said display device;

programming that when executed by said processor causes said recorded data to be stored in memory;

programming that when executed by said processor causes said video camera to stop recording upon receiving an administrator interrupt input indicative of a new content update; and

programming that when executed by said processor causes said video camera to stop recording upon receiving an administrator interrupt input indicative of a request to playback recorded data.
