Device Fleet

6 hardware platforms. QR activation. 30-second heartbeat.

Centralized fleet registry for every registered screen across all properties. QR-code provisioning with zero-touch activation. dsp_-prefixed device authentication. 30-second heartbeat telemetry with automatic offline detection after 2 missed pings.

Samsung Tizen

Samsung smart TVs running the Tizen operating system. Widely deployed in hospitality and commercial environments.

Activation Flow

QR Code Scan

Each new device generates a unique QR activation code. Staff scan it from any phone or tablet to begin registration.

Device Key Issued

On confirmation, the device receives a dsp_-prefixed authentication key. All subsequent API calls use this key.

30-Second Heartbeat

Registered devices ping the fleet registry every 30 seconds. A device missing two consecutive heartbeats is flagged offline.

60-Second Content Poll

Content and template assignments are polled every 60 seconds. The last-known state is cached locally for offline resilience.

Device Statuses

Online

Active and responding to heartbeat within the last 30 seconds.

Offline

No heartbeat received for more than 2 minutes.

Error

Device reporting an error state. Requires manual inspection.

Scheduling Layer

Group screens by location. Schedule content by priority.

Screen groups bind devices into logical targets. Content schedules assign templates and media to groups with time windows and day-of-week rules. Five priority levels resolve conflicts without manual intervention. Emergency broadcast overrides everything.

Groups & Schedules

Group screens by location. Schedule content by time.

Screen groups let you manage dozens of devices as a single target. Content schedules bind templates and media to groups with time windows and day-of-week rules. Priority-based conflict resolution handles overlapping schedules without manual intervention.

Screen Groups

Logical grouping of devices by location, floor, or purpose. Assign templates, themes, and ad preferences at the group level instead of per device.

Content Schedules

Bind content to screen groups with start time, end time, and days-of-week selection. Multiple schedules can target the same group with priority-based conflict resolution.

Priority Resolution

Five priority levels from Emergency (1) down to Ambient (5). When schedules overlap, the higher-priority content wins. Emergency broadcasts override everything.

Active/Inactive Toggle

Schedules can be toggled on or off without deletion. Inactive schedules are preserved for reuse during seasonal or recurring events.
