Content distribution platform for beverage dispensing environments

A computer implemented method for managing and/or distributing content, comprising:

• selecting, at a computing system, by a content management and distribution system, based upon at least one display system factor comprising at least one of (i) the at least one display system, (ii) a physical size of the at least one display system, (iii) a physical orientation of the at least one display system, and (iv) an operating status of the at least one display system, a set of selection criteria to be used in identifying information for display at the at least one display system;
• receiving, at the computing system, by the content management and distribution system data representative of at least one environment condition that is collected by at least one environment condition sensing device operatively cooperating with the at least one display system, the environment conditions comprising at least one physical environment condition relating to dispensing a beverage, the at least one display system being operatively connected to a communications network providing at least one data service comprising one of voice service, television service and broadband connectivity service, and at least one physical environment condition occurring within a predetermined distance from the at least one display system comprising:
• a number of people, an occurrence of a commercial transaction, an occurrence of a one or more physical gestures from at least one person, an utterance of spoken words, a movement of the at least one person, an interaction with at least data element on the at least one display system, a shape of the at least one person, an amount of hair on the at least one persons, a presence of facial hair on the at least one person, a height of the at least one person, a skin tone of the at least one person, a presence of makeup on the at least one person, a length of time the at least a person looks at the at least one display system, a number of beverages being dispensed, and a type of beverage being dispensed;
• applying, at the computing system, by the content management and distribution system the selected set of selection criteria and the data representative of the at least one environment condition in querying content data residing on the data store to select content for distribution;
• and
• communicating, at a computing system, the selected content to the at least one display system.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer readable instructions that, when executed by a computing system cause the computing system to perform operations, comprising:

• selecting, at a computing system, by a content management and distribution system, based upon at least one display system factor comprising at least one of (i) a location of the at least one display system, (ii) a physical size of the at least one display system, (iii) a physical orientation of the at least one display system (iv) and an operating status of the at least one display system, a set of selection criteria to be used in identifying information for display at the one or more display systems;
• receiving, at the computing system, by the content management and distribution system data representative of at least one environment condition that is collected by at least one environment condition sensing device operatively cooperating with the at least one display system, the environment conditions comprising at least one physical environment condition relating to dispensing a beverage, the at least one display system being operatively connected to a communications network providing at least one data service comprising one of voice service, television service and broadband connectivity service, and at least one physical environment condition occurring within a predetermined distance from the at least one or more display systems comprising:
• a number of people, an occurrence of a commercial transaction, an occurrence of at least one physical gesture from at least one person, an utterance of spoken words, a movement of at least one person, an interaction with at least one data element on the at least one display system, a shape of the at least one person, an amount of hair on the at least one person, a presence of facial hair on the at least one person, a height of the at least one person, a skin tone of the at least one person, a presence of makeup on the at least one person, a length of time the at least one person looks at the at least one display system, a number of beverages being dispensed, and a type of beverage being dispensed;
• applying, at the computing system, by the content management and distribution system the selected set of selection criteria and the data representative of the at least one environment condition in querying content data residing on the data store to select content for distribution;
• and
• communicating, at a computing system, the selected content to the at least one display system.
