E-paper compliance poster system and method

A method to display always compliant poster content for a given location without end user effort, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing an e-paper display system and a content management database;
• connecting the e-paper display system to a network in communication with an information source;
• assigning the e-paper display system a federal or state designation based upon the given location;
• based upon the designation, sending compliant initial poster content from the information source to the e-paper display system;
• displaying the compliant initial poster content on the e-paper display system without any required end user effort;
• entering a sleep cycle for a set time period;
• at the termination of the sleep cycle, entering a wake cycle by connecting the e-paper display system to the information source to determine if updated poster content to maintain legal compliance is available for the designation;
• if there is no available updated poster content, re-entering the sleep cycle;
• and
• if there is available updated poster content, entering an update cycle by sending the updated poster content from the information source to be displayed on the e-paper display system to maintain compliance without any required end user effort and then re-entering the sleep cycle.

An e-paper compliance poster system requiring no end user effort to maintain compliant poster content, the system comprising:

• an e-paper display for displaying poster content for a given location, the display having a sleep cycle of a set time period;
• a power source in communication with the display;
• a memory in communication with the display for storing poster content;
• a controller in communication with the display and the memory;
• an information source for determining whether updated poster content is available;
• a modem to enable communication between the controller and the information source;
• and
• a driver in communication with the memory to transfer poster content to the display;
• wherein after the set period of time of the sleep cycle, if the information source has determined there is updated poster content available for the given location, compliant updated poster content is communicated via the modem to the memory and then to the driver for display on the e-paper display without requiring any end user effort;
• and
• wherein after the set period of time of the sleep cycle, if the information source has determined there is no updated poster content available for the given location, the sleep cycle is restarted.
