- a display screen that is capable of displaying contents including an image or video, said display screen receiving an applied signal that includes information indicative of said contents, said display screen defining a viewing area from which said contents can be viewed;
a camera, associated with the display screen, and located to image said viewing area and to produce an output signal indicative of said imaging of said viewing area;
a media storing device that stores multiple items that can be displayed on said display screen, and where said multiple items can be selected for display on said display screen; and
an image processing part that processes image contents within said output signal from said camera, to determine automatically a color of objects within said output signal from said camera, and to select one of multiple color schemes for display based on said color of objects within said output signal from said camera, said select comprising selecting a first color scheme from said media storing device when a first color is determined by said image processing part, and selecting a second color scheme, different than said first color scheme, from said media storing device, when a second color, different than said first color, is determined by said image processing part.

5. A system comprising:
-
a display screen that is capable of displaying contents including an image or video, said display screen receiving an applied signal that includes information indicative of said contents, said display screen defining a viewing area from which said contents can be viewed; a camera, associated with the display screen, and located to image said viewing area and to produce an output signal indicative of said imaging of said viewing area; a media storing device that stores multiple items that can be displayed on said display screen, and where said multiple items can be selected for display on said display screen; and an image processing part that processes image contents within said output signal from said camera, to determine automatically whether said image contents match at least one criteria, and based on said matching said one criteria, to select one of said multiple items for display based on said criteria, said select comprising selecting a first item from said media storing device when a first criteria is determined by said image processing part, and selecting a second item, different than said first item, from said media storing device, when a second criteria, different than said first criteria, is determined by said image processing part, wherein said image processing part also detects information indicative of a brand name of items within the image and selects said item to be displayed based on the brand name that has been detected. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A method comprising:
-
displaying on an electronic display screen; obtaining an electronic file indicative of image content in a viewing area, from which said electronic display screen can be viewed; using a processor to analyze said electronic file to find multiple different criteria within said image content; automatically ranking said criteria according to a hierarchy of criteria, to find a highest ranked criteria within said multiple criteria; first based on said analyzing by said processor, finding a first aspect as one of said multiple different criteria within said image content, and responsive to finding said first aspect, selecting first display content and causing said first display content to be displayed on said display screen; and second based on said analyzing by said processor, finding a second aspect within said image content as one of said multiple different criteria, and determining that said second aspect has a higher criteria based on said automatically ranking, and responsive to finding said second aspect and said determining that said second aspect has a higher criteria based on said automatically ranking, selecting second display content different than said first display content and terminating said display of said first display content and causing said second display content to be displayed on said display screen based on finding said second aspect. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
