Dynamic content delivery to network-enabled static display device
First Claim
1. A method in a computer system for rendering a dynamic content presentation on a static display device, comprising:
- receiving, at a proxy location, a request for the dynamic content presentation from the static display device pursuant to a proxy location identifier;
retrieving the dynamic content presentation over a network from a location indicated by the proxy location identifier, the retrieved dynamic content presentation being a customized version of the dynamic content presentation optimized to meet a configuration parameter;
transforming the dynamic content presentation into a static image; and
transmitting an RSS feed in the form of an XML file listing proxy URL paths and a schedule instructing the static display device when to update an image from a particular proxy location identifier.

Abstract
An image service uses a uniform resource locator (URL) or other identifier to retrieve dynamic content presentations from the Internet. The image service uses a set of imaging parameters to render HTML files into a static image, sized appropriately, that can be presented on a static display device. A user enters URLs identifying locations of dynamic content within a configuration interface on the image service. The image service then dynamically pulls the selected content from the identified web sites, converts the web pages, or portions thereof, into static digital image files, and downloads the image files for display on a static display device.

14. A method of rendering a dynamic content presentation on a static display device, comprising:
-
receiving, at a proxy location, a request for the dynamic content presentation from a frame service pursuant to a proxy location identifier; receiving, at a location of the dynamic content presentation indicated by the proxy location identifier, a configuration parameter of the static display device; customizing, at the location, the dynamic content presentation so that the dynamic content presentation, when retrieved, is optimized to meet the configuration parameter; retrieving the dynamic content presentation over a network from the location indicated by the proxy location identifier; transforming the dynamic content presentation into a static image; and transmitting the static image to the frame service for further transmission to the static display device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A dynamic content delivery system, comprising:
-
a processing section including one or more processors; a communications section operably connected to the processing section; and a storage section operably connected to the processing section and storing instructions configured, upon execution, to cause the one or more processors to; send, to a proxy location, via the communications section, a request for the dynamic content presentation from a static display device pursuant to a proxy location identifier; retrieve, via the communications section, the dynamic content presentation over a network from a location indicated by the proxy location identifier, the retrieved dynamic content presentation being a customized version of the dynamic content presentation optimized to meet a configuration parameter; translate the retrieved dynamic content presentation into a static image suitable for display by the static display device; and transmit, to the static display device, via the communication section, the static image and an RSS feed in the form of an XML file listing proxy URL paths and a schedule instructing the static display device when to update an image from a particular proxy location identifier. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
