An audio-visual (AV) component on which a prerecorded promotional video of the merchandise is playable for viewing by consumers passing by the display stand.

A General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) module communicates the detected state of the AV component to a database. A user interface enables a remote user to access the database to monitor the detected state of the AV component. The GPRS module may also communicate video or photos of the displayed merchandise to the database to permit the user to remotely visually monitor the display stand. | 03-17-2011 |
