Abstract
A system is provided that may include plural data collector devices that may be configured to be communicatively coupled with each other in a network. Each of the data collector device may include one or more processors configured to receive display data from one or more data sources. The one or more processors may also be configured to communicate different portions of the display data to different respective network locations in the network. The one or more processors of each of the data collector devices may also be configured to control a respective display device of several display devices to alternate between displaying the different network locations at different times.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- plural data collector devices configured to be communicatively coupled with each other in a network, each of the data collector devices including one or more processors configured to receive display data from one or more data sources and to communicate different portions of the display data to different respective network locations in the network, wherein each of the network locations corresponds to a different data collector device of the data collector devices and includes at least a portion of the display data received by the corresponding data collector device;
- the one or more processors of each of the data collector devices also configured to control a respective display device of several display devices to sequentially display the display data of the different respective network locations at different times according to a predetermined sequence.
A method comprising:
- obtaining display data from data sources at each of plural data collector devices communicatively coupled with each other in a network;
- communicating different portions of the display data from each of the data collector devices to different respective network locations in the network, wherein each of the network locations corresponds to a different data collector device of the data collector devices and includes at least a portion of the display data obtained by the corresponding data collector device;
- and
- directing a respective display device of several display devices from each of the data collector devices to display the display data of the different respective network locations at different times according to a predetermined sequence.
A system comprising:
- data collector devices configured to be communicatively coupled with each other in a decentralized network, the data collector devices configured to obtain display data from data sources and to communicate different portions of the display data to different respective uniform resource locators in the network, wherein each of the uniform resource locators corresponds to a different data collector device of the data collector devices and includes at least a portion of the display data obtained by the corresponding data collector device,
- the data collector devices also configured to control a respective display device of several display devices to alternate between displaying the different portions of the display data according to which of the different respective uniform resource locators the different portions of the display data was communicated.
