Abstract

A mobile electronic display device comprising: a frame through which a license plate is mounted to a motor vehicle; one or more electronic displays mounted to the frame such that the one or more electronic displays are located adjacent to the mounted license plate; a controller in electrical communication with the one or more electronic displays, wherein the controller causes media content to be displayed on the one or more electronic displays; and a wireless input mechanism in communication with the controller through which media content is received and presented to the controller for the controller to cause to be displayed on the one or more electronic displays.

Claims

1. A mobile electronic display device comprising:

a frame through which a license plate is mounted to a motor vehicle;

one or more electronic displays mounted to the frame such that the one or more electronic displays are located adjacent to the mounted license plate;

a controller in electrical communication with the one or more electronic displays, wherein the controller causes media content to be displayed on the one or more electronic displays; and

a wireless input mechanism in communication with the controller through which media content is received and presented to the controller for the controller to cause to be displayed on the one or more electronic displays.

2. The mobile electronic display device of claim 1 wherein the wireless input mechanism includes a general packet radio service module.

3. The mobile electronic display device of claim 2 wherein the media content is received from a remote server.

4. The mobile electronic display device of claim 3 wherein the media content is received and displayed with no human intervention.

5. The mobile electronic display device of claim 1 wherein the wireless input mechanism includes a short-range wireless communication module.

6. The mobile electronic display device of claim 5 wherein the short-range wireless communication module is a Bluetooth module.

7. The mobile electronic display device of claim 6 wherein the media content is received from a mobile electronic device in short-range communication with the wireless input mechanism.

8. The mobile electronic display device of claim 7 wherein the controller is in communication with a mobile application resident in the mobile electronic device such that the controller causes notifications to display on the mobile electronic device.

9. The mobile electronic display device of claim 1 wherein the controller is provided on a printed circuit board further including a power supply.

10. The mobile electronic display device of claim 1 wherein the one or more electronic displays are LED displays.

11. The mobile electronic display device of claim 1 wherein the controller is in communication with a vehicle ignition in the motor vehicle and the operation of the controller is, in part, based on a vehicle ignition condition.

12. The mobile electronic display device of claim 1 wherein the controller is in communication with a light intensity sensor such that the controller varies of brightness of the one or more electronic displays in response to data from the light intensity sensor.

13. The mobile electronic display device of claim 1 wherein the controller is in communication with a battery voltage monitor monitoring a battery in the motor vehicle and the operation of the controller is, in part, based on the battery voltage sensed by the batter voltage monitor.

14. The mobile electronic display device of claim 1 wherein the controller validates any media content received through the wireless input mechanism prior to causing the media content to be displayed on the one or more electronic displays.

15. The mobile electronic display device of claim 14 wherein the validation includes an analysis of the content of the media content.

16. The mobile electronic display device of claim 14 wherein the validation includes an analysis of the source of the media content.

17. The mobile electronic display device of claim 1 including two electronic displays.

18. The mobile electronic display device of claim 17 wherein a first of the electronic displays is located above a top edge of the license plate.

19. The mobile electronic display device of claim 18 wherein a second of the electronic displays is located below a bottom edge of the license plate.

20. The mobile electronic display device of claim 1 where in the controller is in communication with a SIM reader.
