1. A reconfigurable messaging assembly comprising:
- a display attached to a vehicle, and operable to present content, wherein the content includes one of an image, a video, a text, or a combination thereof;
a processor coupled to the display;
a storage device coupled to the display, and operable to store a primary content, a secondary content a primary video message and a secondary video message;
an interface device coupled to the display, wherein the interface device includes a camera operable to record video content and a touchscreen; and
a communicator coupled to the interface device and operable to communicate with a portable electronic device through a wireless connection;
wherein the processor is operable to;
store in the storage device the primary video message from the primary user as recorded by the camera;
receive a first input from a primary user via the touchscreen;
control the display to present the primary content from the storage device based on the first input from the primary user;
receive a second input from a secondary user via the communicator and the wireless connection from the portable electronic device regarding the primary content, the secondary user being different than the primary user;
control the display to update the primary content to the secondary content and present the primary video message from the storage device to the secondary user based on the second input from the secondary user;
store in the storage device the secondary video message from the secondary user as recorded by the portable electronic device and received via the communicator and the wireless connection;
receive a third input from the primary user from the touchscreen; and

Abstract
A reconfigurable messaging assembly for a vehicle includes a low power bi-stable display attached to the vehicle for displaying an image, text, or video. A processor and a storage device are coupled with the display. A communicator including transceivers for WiFi, Bluetooth, and NFC is connected to the display for communicating with a portable electronic device. An interface device including a camera and a touchscreen both disposed on the vehicle is also coupled with the display and the processor for interacting with a primary user and a secondary user and for acquiring the images, text, and videos. The interface device is operatively connected to the communicator for interacting with a primary user and a secondary user. The assembly enables a primary user and a secondary user to show an image, text, or video using the display and to provide interaction with the primary user and the secondary user.
