Communication device to be used as a digital sign and a method of configuring the communication device to be used as a digital sign

A communication device configured to be used as a digital sign, comprising:

• a transceiver configured to connect to a remote portal and receive a digital content, a first instruction, and a second instruction from the remote portal;
• a processing device;
• and
• memory including a digital sign manager which has instructions that are executed by the processing device, the instructions including the following logics:
• activating a digital sign mode of the communication device in response to receiving the first instruction from the remote portal via the transceiver by disabling a ringing function of the communication device;
• and
• activating a digital content present mode in response to receiving a second instruction from the remote portal via the transceiver wherein in the digital content present mode, the processor presents the digital content via at least one of a screen and a speaker of the communication device.

A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for configuring a communication device to be used as a digital sign, the method comprising:

• connecting to a remote portal via a transceiver of the communication device;
• receiving a digital content from the remote portal;
• storing the digital content in a memory of the communication device;
• in response to receiving a first instruction from the remote portal, activating a digital sign mode of the communication device, wherein in the digital sign mode, a ringing function of the communication device is disabled;
• and
• in response to receiving a second instruction from the remote portal, activating a digital content present mode, wherein in the digital content present mode, the digital content is presented via at least one of a screen of the communication device and a speaker of the communication device.
