Abstract - Internet of things (IoT) is a concept that
considers pervasive presence in the environment of variety of objects that are interconnected through wireless or wired mediums having unique addressing schemes to communicate with each other to create new applications and reach common goals. Digital signage boards are an economical and advanced solution for today's static advertisement boards. The modern digital signage boards can be accessed and controlled remotely using internet. Digital signage system has advantages like reduced costs, integrating citizens with up-to-date technologies, being easy to reach huge number of people, dynamic and effective advertisements, ability to deliver relevant information at proper time for proper mass. The proposed system will replace microcontroller based systems with raspberry pi which will drastically improve the performance and will consume less amount of power for operation.
Key Words: Internet of things, Raspberry pi, Digital signage board, web server, HDMI, Advertisements, Internet 1. INTRODUCTION The network of digital displays that are centrally managed and addressable for targeted information and advertisements is known as digital advertising. The broadcasting of information can be done at road highways ,subways , buses, train and train station, shopping malls, city squires, hospital, conference hall, colleges and schools for displaying notice for student information and displaying all institutional information for visitors [1]. Digital signage technologies are becoming very popular between many different business domains. Companies use digital signage for many various purposes. Digital signage solutions are creating opportunity for customizing the information that they want to deliver. Main usage purposes of digital signage are announcements, advertising and promoting products, entertainment, public information systems such as live traffic details, news, headlines, weather, and menu information such as digital menu boards with information on pricing [2]. Sensors and technologies allow digital signage boards to adapt to context such as time and location, many options appear to catch the audience’s attention. Such features are called contextual signage[3].

The Internet of Things is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity to enable it to achieve greater value and service by exchanging data with the manufacturer, operator and other connected devices. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure With every breath technological entrepreneurs take, a new idea is pitched. Keeping up with these everyday breakthroughs can be tough. In less than 10 years we have witnessed the launch of yet a new wave, Web 3.0. Components of this breakthrough are still new and not many people are familiar with these concepts. In order to seize the opportunity to inform individuals, we developed a digital signage board system that is focused on the area of Internet of Things. Internet of Things is a vision that was introduced in 2009. This vision encompasses the idea of connecting all devices and gadgets to the internet. The Internet of Things is truly changing our world. It is enhancing our lives, businesses, health and society as a whole by developing products which would ease our life. It is estimated that by 2020, 50 billion devices will be connected to the internet [4]. While the traditional print advertisements in newspapers and magazines have witnessed a decline that threatens the existence of print news media outlets, and interest in interactive advertisement on web, mobile and other innovative media the advent of affordable, interconnected, high-definition flat digital displays has enabled content providers, including advertisers, to replace static screens by timely targeted content delivered to the audience [5].
3. PROPOSED SYSTEM : METHODOLOGY The main aim of this research is to design and develop a digital signage system which can display advertisements as well as real time useful data like live traffic details, weather updates, news, etc and can be controlled remotely. The system consists of raspberry pi 3 which will act as the heart of the system, a node.js web server to host the front end as well as backend web interface. The Digital display is connected to raspberry pi using HDMI, no additional hardware is required for using display with raspberry pi 3. Raspberry pi 3 is connected to router and that router will provide internet to raspberry pi 3 so that
