Voice Recognizing Digital Messageboard System and Method
First Claim
1. A digital message display system comprising:
- at least one remote input terminal, said input terminal comprising a central processing unit adapted to handle conversion of analog voice input to digital signals, a storage memory, an input/output controller, a network interface adapted to receive and transmit wireless data, alphanumeric input means, microphone, speakers, display, and a power source;
at least one webserver hosting a website;
one or more wireless networks;
at least one electronic display screen comprising an illumination means, a microcontroller unit, a memory, a transceiver, a modem, a power source, and a button disposed on an exterior portion of said electronic screen and electronically connected to said microcontroller unit such that depression of said button results in display of a code associated with said electronic screen via said illumination means, wherein and wherein said electronic screen is in bi-directional wireless communication with said at least one input terminal and said at least one webserver;
an application layer installed on said storage memory of said at least one input terminal, wherein said application layer converts user input into a signal and transmits same to said at least one electronic screen for display;
an interface associated with said website, wherein said application layer converts user input into a signal and transmits same to said at least one electronic screen via said one or more wireless networks, for display.

Abstract
Provided is a system and method of updating a message displayed on an electronic screen via wireless communications device or remote website. Messages are entered into the communications device (input terminal) or web interface via verbal commands or entered text. The input is then transmitted to one or more electronic screens, where the message is displayed. Thus, users can update an electronic display without directly manipulating the display screen. Each electronic screen is in enabled to wirelessly communicate over cellular networks and via BlueTooth connections. These connection methods enable pairing of multiple electronic screens to a single wireless communications device, as well as allowing multiple communications devices to manipulate any given screen directly or via web interface.
