Claim 14:
15. A display assembly providing alerts, said display assembly comprising:
a structural subassembly;
a side assembly movably attached to said structural subassembly and comprising an electronic display;
a latching device for selectively securing said side assembly to said structural subassembly;
a sensor configured to detect if said latching device is in a latched state or an unlatched state;
a proximity sensor configured to detect if the side assembly is in a closed position or an open position; and
a controller in electronic communication with said latching device, said sensor, and said proximity sensor, and said side assembly, said controller configured to:
receive data from said sensor;
receive data from said proximity sensor;
where the data received from the sensor indicates that said latching device is in the latched state, cause said side assembly to provide normal operations, including displaying normal programming images at the electronic display;
in each discrete instance where the data received from the sensor indicates that said latching device is in the unlatched state and the data received from the proximity sensor indicates that the side assembly is in the open position, cause said side assembly to display an open alert image at the electronic display indicating that the side assembly is in the open position instead of displaying the normal programming images at least until further data is received from the proximity sensor indicating that said side assembly is in the closed position; and
in each discrete instance where the data received from the sensor indicates that said latching device is in the unlatched state and the data received from the proximity sensor indicates that said side assembly is in the closed position, cause said side assembly to display an unlatched alert image at the electronic display indicating that the side assembly is unlatched instead of displaying the normal programming images at least until further data is received from the sensor indicating that said latching device is in the latched state.
