Methods, systems, and media for presenting requested content on public display devices

Abstract

Methods, systems, and media for presenting requested content on public display devices are provided. In some implementations a method for presenting content on a display device is provided, the method comprising: receiving a request from a mobile device to present content, including image data, on a display device; receiving a graphical representation associated with a user; receiving location information associated with the mobile device; receiving display device information associated with display devices, including location information associated with that display device; selecting, without user input, a first display device on which to present the content based on the location information associated with the mobile device and the location information associated with each of the plurality of display devices; and in response to selecting the first display device, causing both the graphical representation associated with the user of the mobile device and the content to be presented by the first display device.

1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . A method for presenting content on display devices, comprising:
 receiving, at a display device from a first user device associated with an administrator of the display device, an indication that the display device is to present content from a plurality of user devices;   in response to receiving the indication, transmitting, by the display device, a signal using a first communication protocol that identifies the display device as available to present content;   receiving, at the display device from a second user device included in the plurality of user devices, a request to present content on the display device that is currently being presented by the second user device, wherein the request is based on the signal transmitted by the display device; and   in response to receiving the request, causing the content currently being presented by the second user device to be presented by the display device in connection with an avatar that indicates a user of the second user device using a second communication protocol that is different than the first communication protocol.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the signal transmitted by the display device using the first communication protocol comprises an audio signal. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the content currently being presented by the second user device is presented using an application executing on the second user device. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein causing the content to be presented by the display device comprises presenting the content using an instance of the application executing on the display device. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the indication received from the first user device comprises a selection of the display device based on a location of the display device within a building the display device is located in. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising inhibiting second content currently being presented by the second user device from being presented by the display device. 
     
     
         8 . A system for presenting content on display devices, the system comprising:
 a memory; and   a hardware processor that, when executing computer-executable instructions stored in the memory, is configured to:
 receive, at a display device from a first user device associated with an administrator of the display device, an indication that the display device is to present content from a plurality of user devices; 
 in response to receiving the indication, transmit, by the display device, a signal using a first communication protocol that identifies the display device as available to present content; 
 receive, at the display device from a second user device included in the plurality of user devices, a request to present content on the display device that is currently being presented by the second user device, wherein the request is based on the signal transmitted by the display device; and 
 in response to receiving the request, cause the content currently being presented by the second user device to be presented by the display device in connection with an avatar that indicates a user of the second user device using a second communication protocol that is different than the first communication protocol. 
   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the signal transmitted by the display device using the first communication protocol comprises an audio signal. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the content currently being presented by the second user device is presented using an application executing on the second user device. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein causing the content to be presented by the display device comprises presenting the content using an instance of the application executing on the display device. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the indication received from the first user device comprises a selection of the display device based on a location of the display device within a building the display device is located in. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to inhibit second content currently being presented by the second user device from being presented by the display device. 
     
     
         14 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for presenting content on display devices, the method comprising:
 receiving, at a display device from a first user device associated with an administrator of the display device, an indication that the display device is to present content from a plurality of user devices;   in response to receiving the indication, transmitting, by the display device, a signal using a first communication protocol that identifies the display device as available to present content;   receiving, at the display device from a second user device included in the plurality of user devices, a request to present content on the display device that is currently being presented by the second user device, wherein the request is based on the signal transmitted by the display device; and   in response to receiving the request, causing the content currently being presented by the second user device to be presented by the display device in connection with an avatar that indicates a user of the second user device using a second communication protocol that is different than the first communication protocol.   
     
     
         15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the signal transmitted by the display device using the first communication protocol comprises an audio signal. 
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the content currently being presented by the second user device is presented using an application executing on the second user device. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 16 , wherein causing the content to be presented by the display device comprises presenting the content using an instance of the application executing on the display device. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the indication received from the first user device comprises a selection of the display device based on a location of the display device within a building the display device is located in. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the method further comprises inhibiting second content currently being presented by the second user device from being presented by the display device.
