6. Has a similar project been carried out in
your college / elsewhere? If so furnish
details of the previous project and
highlight the improvements suggested
in the present one
: Previous works carried out are done
by commercial services. Therefore
are very costly and also the cost of
propriety software is high. We provide
an android app to be interfaced with
the display.

Project Details

1. Introduction
The network of digital displays that are centrally managed and addressable for
targeted information and advertisements is known as digital advertising. The broadcasting of
information can be done at road highways, subways, buses, train and train station, shopping
malls, city squires, hospital, conference hall, colleges and schools for displaying notice for
student information and displaying all institutional information for visitors.
Digital signage technologies are becoming very popular between many different
business domains. Companies use digital signage for many various purposes. Digital signage
solutions are creating opportunity for customizing the information that they want to deliver.
Main usage purposes of digital signage are announcements, advertising and promoting
products, entertainment, public information systems such as live traffic details, news,
headlines, weather, and menu information such as digital menu boards with information on
pricing.
Sensors and technologies allow digital signage boards to adapt to context such as
time and location, many options appear to catch the audience’s attention. Such features are
called contextual signage
2. Objective
The main objective of this project is to design and develop a digital signage system
which can display advertisements as well as real time useful data like live traffic details,
weather updates, notice and information from college, etc. The data can be controlled
remotely through an Android app or a Laptop via the Internet remotely.
3. Methodology
The proposed methodology is executed in steps:

i) The display unit will be connected to the internet with Raspberry pi.
ii) The data which is to be displayed will be uploaded via android app or website.
iii) The control is done by user remotely using website or the Android App.
4. Hardware Requirement

● Raspberry pi 3b
 ● LED display / Display Unit
● Power Supply

Software Requirement

● Operating System : Raspbian OS

7. Novelty & Applicability

As the technology is advancing every passing day the display board systems
are moving from static boards display to digital signage display. An efficient, effective,
fast and cheap remotely managed embedded Digital Signage System architecture is
designed, implemented, developed using raspberry pi 3 and web application. There are
large number of applications for the system developed which can transform the
advertising and marketing industry. This system can be employed in colleges to display
various information to the student.
