Kiosk Administration Dashboard server (LINUX)

Kiosk Administration Dashboard server (LINUX)
 

System Overview

Each TV screen at a client location is connected to a Raspberry Pi device. The Raspberry Pi loads a webpage from a central web server in full-screen kiosk mode. The web server dynamically generates the media content for each specific site.

Main Components:

• TV Screen

• Raspberry Pi (connected via HDMI)

• Internet Connection

• Central Web Server (PHP + MySQL)

• Admin Dashboard

2. How It Works (Step-by-Step)

1. The Raspberry Pi powers on.

2. It automatically launches a browser in kiosk mode.

3. The browser loads a URL specific to that location (e.g., display.php?site=SITE001).

4. The server reads the site ID and retrieves that site's playlist from the database.

5. The server dynamically builds an HTML page with images/videos.

6. The browser displays the content in full screen.

7. The page automatically refreshes periodically to check for updates.

3. Admin Dashboard

The system includes an Admin Dashboard where administrators can:

• Create and manage site locations

• Upload images and videos

• Create playlists per site

• Reorder media items

• Set display duration for each item

• Monitor screen online/offline status

4. Example Screens

Example 1: Fullscreen Image Display

The screen shows a single image scaled to fit the entire display.

[ FULL SCREEN IMAGE ]
----------------------------------------
|                                                   |
| Promotional Banner Image |
|                                                   |
----------------------------------------

Example 2: Video Playback

The screen automatically plays a promotional video in full screen.

|                                                  |
----------------------------------------

Example 3: Mixed Playlist Rotation

The screen rotates between images and videos automatically.

Playlist Order Example:
1. Image - Welcome Banner (10 seconds)
2. Video - Product Demo (30 seconds)
3. Image - Special Offer (15 seconds)

Example 4: Admin Dashboard Screen
