Title: Server and method for synchronizing display of a digital content on a plurality of computing devices
Inventor: MONGEAU BRYAN
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2019-10-22
Abstract: Server and method for synchronizing display of a digital content on a plurality of computing devices.

The server determines a number of negative responses received from the devices in response to the synchronization request. Each negative response is indicative of one among the plurality of devices not being capable of displaying the digital content. The server transmits a new synchronization request to the computing devices if the number of received negative responses reaches a threshold. The server transmits a display command to the devices for displaying the digital content on their respective displays if the number of received negative responses does not reach the threshold. For example, the method applies to a digital signage server synchronizing display of a digital signage content on a plurality of digital signage players.
