SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLOUD-BASED MEDIA MANAGEMENT

Abstract:

A system and method for managing media replenishment of media terminals is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of media terminals within separate groups of networks which are coupled to a media manager via a wide area network. An agent may be installed at each media terminal. The agent forwards status information about media at each associated media terminal to the media manager via the wide area network. The media manager generates an initial delivery schedule for each media terminal based on accumulated historical device data and initial rules, processes status information for each media terminal received via the wide area network and optimizes a prior delivery schedule for each media terminal based on such received status information to generate an updated delivery schedule for that media terminal, and provides the updated delivery schedule to an administrator for that associated media terminal.
