Narrowcast media content distribution and display system with content biasing engine
First Claim
1. A media content distribution and display system comprising:
- an electronic network;
a plurality of remote display devices connected with the electronic network, each of the remote display devices comprising;
at least one electronic display,one or more target attributes associated with the remote display device that relate to environmental variables of the remote display device, andone or more sensors configured to automatically measure the environmental variables associated with the one or more target attributes; and
a central server, connected with each of the plurality of remote display devices via the electronic network, for storing a plurality of media content for distribution to the plurality of remote display devices, each of the media content having one or more content attributes, the central server including a biasing engine for comparing the media content attributes with the target attributes of the plurality of remote display devices, the biasing engine causing the electronic display of at least one of the plurality of remote display devices to display only those of the plurality of media content that have one or more of the content attributes that satisfy a matching criteria based on the one or more target attributes of the at least one remote display device.

Abstract
A media content distribution and display system and method that includes a central server, a number of remote display devices, and an electronic network for communicating therebetween. The central server receives and stores a plurality of media content, where each of the media content has one or more attributes associated therewith that relate to characteristics of the media content. The remote display devices receive the media content from the central server. Each remote display device includes at least one electronic display, one or more target attributes associated with the remote display device that relate to environmental variables of the remote display device, and a biasing engine for comparing the media content attributes with the target attributes, and for causing the electronic display to display only those of the media content having one or more of the attributes associated therewith that satisfy a predetermined matching criteria.
