Zusammenfassung:A display device executing a network messaging protocol and capable of receiving display requests from multiple network devices communicating with the display device over an Internet Protocol (IP) based network is disclosed. The network priority messaging protocol executed by the display device enables the display device to efficiently display messages received from multiple network devices. The protocol enables the display device to prioritize among incoming messages from different network devices and to prioritize among incoming multiple messages from a single device. The protocol executed by the display device further enables the display device to receive display characteristics encoded as part of a message from a network device. The display device executing the network priority messaging protocol is able to process and display multiple message requests without the need to prematurely overwrite the message currently being displayed or to segment the display surface of the display device into smaller pieces.
