2. Check whether the screen display is caused by backlight.
Another part of the situation is that the equipment is used for a long period of time, or the constant current board failure of the high brightness LCD screen, resulting in the occurrence of regular local backlight is not bright. This phenomenon may also mislead the user feedback the black screen problem. It could be due to the bad contact of the backlight power wire or the failure of the constant current board, either of which needs to be replaced.

The problem can be solved immediately with some process on the mainboard.

4. Design defects by unprofessional manufacturer
Another black screen phenomenon named in the industry, is that because the manufacturer is not professional in the design of the whole machine, and the cooling system is not in place. As a consequence, the heat inside the equipment cannot be discharged to the outside, but accumulated inside. The temperature is too high, beyond the LCD molecular upper limitation, and then the screen appears irregular black partically or totally. Such problems should be dealt with by adjusting the fan speed or resetting the temperature. If it still cannot be solved, it can only be re-produced so as to replace the machine.

In the afternoon boot, the LCD screen, due to the high internal temperature, can not work normally, resulting in a black screen phenomenon. Therefore, SUNTUNE recommends keeping the machine working throughout the day, and the cooling system will keep the whole thing running.

The above basically lists the various situations of “black screen”.

Multiple screen display solution linked advertising and interaction

multiple screen display

In some scenarios, there could be more than one screen needed to cover the operations of advertising and interaction. By traditional solution, it’s usually one motherboard for one screen, which actually brings more complication than convenience, and unnecessarily raise up the costs. Accordingly, SUNTUNE introduced a new solution. It permits the multiple screen display playing different contents at same time, while each screen linked one another, so that advertising and interaction are combined perfectly.

The multiple screen display solution, in brief, is developed on SUNTUNE CMS software, in addition with a linkage function, by which all screens are controlled on one core motherboard. Different screen plays different contents, only the contents are linked smartly.

The multiple screen display solution is set up with CMS, motherboard, server, and of course the screens. To summarize what it can do,

1. Horizontal and Vertical are arbitrary.
Contents are released and displayed independently, not matter whether it’s one board dual screens, or one kiosk multiple screens. Horizontal or Vertical can be set at will.

2. Resolution combinations are arbitrary.
Each screen has its own resolution, but can be grouped in scenario. Supportive to 1080p as well as the ratio cut unusual.

3. Contents are managed remotely and smartly.
Programs are released to each screen from the remote server, no interference, no subordinate, mutually independent. Each screen can be set to play on its own schedule.

4. Not just advertising.
Resulted from the independence, the multiple screen display can run variously with advertising, querying, gaming, yet no disturbing to one another.

5. About contents linkage
The multiple screen display solution supports contents linkage. For example, the first screen plays cars advertising, the second screen switches to 4S car shop, the third screen to car maintenance tips, etc. By so the interaction and the advertising are demonstrated with every aspect.

6. Automatic network, multilevel authorization, remote control
With CMS, screens can be selected and operated uniformly.
With authority, contents can be managed on a large scale.

The multiple screen display solution is widely applied for elevator advertising players, transportation splitting screens, outdoor splitting screens, multi-screen self service terminals, express cabinets, custom built vending machines, etc.

AI digital signage solution creates personalized power for offline retail

AI digital signage solution

Competition is more and more fierce in retail TODAY. Every customer would like to feel valued, and have a personalized experience. Meanwhile the traditional advertising is still infamous for its undifferentiated treatments, delivering harassment more than promotion. Advertisers would think it a waste of money. At this point, AI digital signage solution is the very way to get out of the dilemma.

1. Advertisements are more autonomous and more intelligent.
Actually, marketing is the one benefited most from AI technologies. AI gives machines the ability of deep learning. Deep learning allows data extracted and purified effectively more than ever. Fed back on data, advertising contents are managed via procedures rather than manpower. Background settings, though still necessary at the present, could disappear in future. Instead, data will be put into contexts to bring out the personalized advertisements. That’s to say, in future, AI digital signage solution will be able to switch channels on what it has learned in the previous context, and add or reduce the contents all by itself. For example, if it feels the weather is hot, it’ll switch to advertisements related with cool drinkings.
AI digital signage solution is also more likely able to target individuals. Suppose a young lady comes to an intelligent harbor house, and stays in sofa area for long periods. When AI system detects her behavior, it may check through sofa info immediately, and display the info in real time, so as to create a deeper scene of marketing. It can do more by studying the lady’s characters and recommend the sofa in her favor alone. (Of course, the detection will follow privacy policy.)

2. Two-way communication makes it easier for human-machine interaction.
AI digital signage solution has already been able to recognize the directional sound, and understand the word of commands. With the two-way audio system coming, the communication between human and machine can sound more natural, pleasurable as well. It’s possible to control digital signage with voice, not only with touch. Some day, it’s believed the AI system can take care of everything, like Edwin Jarvis in Iron Man.

3. Multi functions enhance the shopping experience.
Today, technologies have broken down the barriers between online and offline. Personal services are put on the agenda. As a perfect solution, AI digital signage plays an important role in marketing. In case a customer fails to find the goods then and there, he or she usual turns away, which means a selling would be called off. This won’t happen with omni-channel shopping solution. AI digital signage will search over the inventory, and retrieve more related info for the customer. It helps the shop manager as well, to analyze each shopping behavior, so to optimize the inventory management, and display goods better for next.
In addition to being a node of online and offline, AI digital signage solution also allows customers to search brands and locations of different floors, as way-finding navigation. Namely, when you click the shop where you wish to go, the AI digital signage will display a full map of the mall, and mark out the best route for you automatically. All in your convenience and comfort.

As new technologies such as IoT and AI continue to develop and mature, the entire digital signage market is experiencing a transformation. It is certain that the interaction and personalization will become the trend. How to integrate IoT, AI and other technologies related with digital signage, is what SUNTUNE is now working for.

1.In-store music and radio
Many restaurants and retail shops have sought the solutions of audio system, hoping to enhance customers experience and make the brands more famous, which is typical in a grocery called MUJI.
It’s a Perfect fit to play music with the all in one digital signage. A more creative solution is to make the music interactive. It permits consumers to enter the DMS by scanning a QR code, to share their voices and facial expressions on the digital signage, similar to a live broadcasting. More than one consumer would have the intention to make this show and share in his friend groups. This behavior is simply a free accurate advertising for the store. Stores shall take a good use of this interaction!

2.Weather-based menu bar
SUNTUNE was trying with a few new retail enterprises in the past months, to integrate local weather info with the all in one digital signage, by which the menu can switch itself automatically. For example, if it’s a cool day, warm gourmet items will be promoted and displayed on the menu board, while frozen drinks and salads will be downgraded.
The trial is a success. The weather-based menu bar is helpful in pushing catering packages, according to local temperature changes. It can not only make consumers feel the charm of technology, but also form a benign dependence for the consumers with no clear consuming goals. Undoubtedly, the push of goods tailored to weather is more likely to motivate more buy.

3.Queue up online
For shoppers, nothing is more annoying than a long queue line. So more and more shopkeepers are bringing in an online queue system, to ease down the queuing problem. It’s a virtual queuing system, actually, but effective in checking out, and displaying the position in queue line. When a consumer gets his turn, he’ll receive the inform from the system. All in one digital signage, which is good at advertising, can better represent a retailer’s business and solve customer service problems when they are waiting in line. This can be seen from the large-scale adoption of online queuing systems by brands such as CoCo milk tea.

In a point of data analysis, SUNTUNE can provide customers with an online queue solution, to retrieve data related to consumer traffic, queuing time and service time, by which retailers can make analysis for a precise trend. Of course, this will be in need of next generation of all in one digital signage, which will be applied with more AI technologies. They are coming soon.
