Touch and Contact Closure

Make your Net Top Box Interactive - grant users access to content relevant to their interest

Traditionally with digital signage the content targeting is at most refined to a day part and a location. To further arouse a customer’s interest or provide them a service you need to detect their presence or allow two way interaction with the content. This way the customer can receive content that is relevant to their interests and needs at that moment.

The ONELAN Contact Closure and Touch option enables a Net Top Box to become fully Interactive, even to operate as a basic Kiosk. For example a user in a busy mobile telephone shop approaching the touch enabled screen can be detected and invited to access further information about the different models available by touching the screen or on board a ship a Passenger can get help finding their way to the Duty Free shop and be informed of the latest offers they have there.

Specifications

NTB Software Version:	From V 6.2 onwards
Touch Screen:	USB HID v1.01 Compliant
The Touch interface is via USB interface into the NTB, the NTB will only work with a device such as above that reports X/Y coordinates on an absolute coordinate basis. There is not support for a “Mouse-like” device that sends relative movements since this requires an on-screen cursor.
Contact closure:	This interface provides 4 inputs and 2 outputs. The physical lines are via the flow control lines of the NTB’s RS232 interface.
