Abstract:
A method of assigning an information-category and a priority of exposure for spots or blocks of information in a digital information system comprising interfaces for data and telecommunications for round-the-clock transmission of information at places accessible to and frequented by the general public including places where television sets are placed, wherein a control center has communication interfaces for coordinating and controlling display devices, wherein the control center is able to create and update an exposure list in real time with control instruction fields via dynamic booking of information in time for exposure from mediators, wherein the exposure list with control instructions coordinates and controls the display devices with regard to what shall be exposed, when it shall be exposed, where it shall be exposed and for how long it shall be exposed, and enables each display device to be controlled, independently of the other display devices, to receive the same or different information in accordance with the exposure list for exposure of respective display devices, comprising the steps of determining how many times an information is to be exposed during a specific time period; assigning a specific information-category and a priority for exposure to single spots or blocks of information; decrementing the priority of a specific spot or block of information a specific unit of priority for each exposure; displaying said information according to the assigned priority, whereby exposure interruption due to visual inaccessibility for information viewers is evened out during said specific time period for single spot or block information.
