Media content distribution platform

A computing system configured to distribute media content, the computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories storing non-transitory computer-executable instructions that, when executed via the one or more processors, cause the computing system to:
• obtain, at a controller associated with a physical environment, a plurality of media content offerings, the physical environment being a retail store, the obtained plurality of media content offerings comprising media metadata corresponding to each respective media content offering from among the plurality of media content offerings;
• obtain location information for the physical environment, the location information being indicative of (1) for each respective portion from among two or more portions of the physical environment, a plurality of products in the respective portion of the physical environment, and (2) respective locations and storage capacities of one or more display devices in each respective portion of the physical environment;
• obtain a minimum content limit defining a minimum amount of media content that is to be made available for each product from among the respective plurality of products in each corresponding respective portion of the physical environment;
• for each respective display device from among the one or more display devices in each portion of the physical environment, select, from the plurality of media content offerings based on the media metadata and the respective plurality of products, a respective group of two or more media content offerings for transmission and storage at the respective display device, the selecting being based upon the minimum content limit and the respective storage capacities of the one or more display devices in each portion of the physical environment, such that the selected respective group of two or more media content offerings for each respective display device includes at least the minimum amount of media content directed to each product from among the respective plurality of products in the corresponding portion of the physical environment in which the respective display device is located;
• and
• transmit, via one or more networks, the respective groups of media content offerings to the respective one or more display devices in each portion of the physical environment.

A computer-implemented method for distributing media content, comprising:

• obtaining, via one or more processors, a plurality of media content offerings, wherein obtaining the plurality of media content offerings comprises obtaining media metadata corresponding to each respective media content offering the plurality of media content offerings;
• obtaining, via the one more processors, location information for each of a plurality of physical environments in which at least some of the media content is to be displayed, each of the plurality of physical environments being a respective retail store, the location information being indicative of, for each respective physical environment from among the plurality of physical environments, (i) for each respective portion from among two or more portions of the respective physical environment, a respective plurality of products in the respective portion, and (ii) respective locations and storage capacities of one or more display devices installed in each respective portion of the respective physical environment;
• obtaining a minimum content limit defining a minimum amount of media content that is to be made available for each product from among the respective plurality of products in each corresponding respective portion of each of the plurality of the physical environments;
• selecting, via the one or more processors, for each respective physical environment, from the plurality of media content offerings based on the media metadata and the location information for the respective physical environment, a respective subset of the plurality of media content offerings for transmission to an environment controller corresponding to the respective physical environment, the selecting being based upon the minimum content limit and the respective locations and storage capacities of the one or more display devices in each portion of the respective physical environment, such that the selected respective subset of media content offerings for each respective physical environment includes at least the minimum amount of media content directed to each product from among the respective plurality of products in each respective portion of the respective physical environment;
• and
• for each respective physical environment, transmitting, via the one or more processors and via one or more networks, the selected respective subset of media content offerings to the environment controller corresponding to the respective physical environment.
