Appl. No.:

11/859140

Inventors:

Bryce Engelbrecht - Salt Lake City UT, US
Hugh Clark - Bountiful UT, US
Michael Landon - Idaho Falls ID, US

International Classification:

H03G 3/20
H03G 3/32

US Classification:

381057000, 381056000

Abstract:

Systems and methods for monitoring temporal volume control. Such monitoring includes providing an electrical circuit having a power source, an amplifier, and a speaker. The volume control is deactivated or otherwise prevented from being adjusted at the speaker. A signal having a current is received at the amplifier. The amplifier modifies the signal. The modified signal includes a modified current that is measured to determine a volume level at the speakers. The measure value is compared to a predetermined volume that reflects the ambient sound level. If the volume level does not match the predetermined volume, the volume level is appropriately adjusted.

Abstract:

This application relates to systems and methods for advertising in retail environments through the use of video displays that are disposed on retail shelving near target products. In some instances, the video display system may comprise a head-end cabinet that is located remote to the video displays. The head-end cabinet may communicate with at least one tail-end box. In turn, each tail-end box may communicate with at least one line-driver box. The line-driver box may communicate with a fin box that sends signal to the video display. The video displays may be vertically and laterally located on the shelving to catch consumer attention and be easily circumnavigated. For example, the video displays may not be located in an end-of-aisle exclusion zone located at each end of a section of shelving. Similarly, no each video display in an aisle may be a minimum distance from another video display.
