SMS-enabled display board technology is a
novel communication system that integrates mobile
devices with display boards. The system enables users to
send messages to the display board using Short Message
Service technology. The system comprises two primary
components, namely the hardware and software. The
hardware component includes the display board, a
microcontroller, and a Global System for Mobile
Communications module. The software component
consists of the firmware that controls the
microcontroller and the backend system that manages
the received messages and displays them on the board.
The technology has several applications such as in public
places like shopping malls, railway stations, hospitals
and schools where it can display emergency messages
and notices.
