1. A method of assigning an information-category and a priority of exposure for spots or blocks of information in a digital information system comprising interfaces for data and telecommunications for round-the-clock transmission of information at places accessible to and frequented by the general public including places where television sets are placed, wherein a control center has communication interfaces for coordinating and controlling display devices, wherein the control center is able to create and update an exposure list in real time with control instruction fields via dynamic booking of information in time for exposure from mediators, wherein the exposure list with control instructions coordinates and controls the display devices with regard to what shall be exposed, when it shall be exposed, where it shall be exposed and for how long it shall be exposed, and enables each display device to be controlled, independently of the other display devices, to receive the same or different information in accordance with the exposure list for exposure of respective display devices, comprising the steps of determining how many times an information is to be exposed during a specific time period;
- assigning a specific information-category and a priority for exposure to single spots or blocks of information;
decrementing the priority of a specific spot or block of information a specific unit of priority for each exposure;
displaying said information according to the assigned priority, whereby exposure interruption due to visual inaccessibility for information viewers is evened out during said specific time period for single spot or block information.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method and an arrangement of assigning an information-category and a priority of exposure for spots or blocks of information in a digital information system comprising interfaces for data and telecommunication for round-the-clock transmission of information at places accessible to and frequented by the general public including places where television sets are placed, such that a control center has communication interfaces for coordinating and controlling display devices, with the control center being able to create and update an exposure list in real time. The exposure list contains information including how many times an information is to be exposed during a specific time period. Single spots or blocks of information to a specific information-category and a priority for exposure. The information is displayed according to the assigned priority, thus exposure interruption due to visual inaccessibility for information viewers is evened out during said specific time period for single spot or block information.

11. An arrangement for the assigning of an information-category and a priority of exposure comprising interfaces for data and telecommunication for round-the-clock transmission of information at places accessible to and frequented by the general public including places where television sets are placed, wherein a control center has communication interfaces for coordinating and controlling display devices, wherein the control center is able to create and update an exposure list in real time with control instruction fields via dynamic booking of information in time for exposure from mediators, wherein the exposure list with control instructions coordinates and controls the display devices with regard to what shall be exposed, when it shall be exposed, where it shall be exposed and for how long it shall be exposed, and enables each display device to be controlled, independently of the other display devices, to receive the same or different information in accordance with the exposure list for exposure of respective display devices, comprising:
-
determining means calculating how many times an information is to be exposed during a specific time period when booked;
category assigning means for allocating single spots or blocks of information to a specific information-category;
priority assigning means for assigning an initial priority of exposure for an information;
computing means for decrementing the priority of exposure a specific unit of priority for each exposure; and
thus enabling that exposure interruption due to visual inaccessibility for information viewers is evened out during said specific time period for a single spot or block of information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
