Coin Operated Internet Kiosk & Advertisement Machine

Introduction
The Internet Kiosk is machine with two LCD monitors with one CPU. One of the
monitor is used for Internet Access and the other monitor is used for
Advertisement purpose. The Machine is operated using Coin so it can be stated as
Coin Operated Internet Kiosk Machine and a advertisement kiosk.

Design
Module 1
Advertisement Module which should be able to access the advertisement material
like Images or Video files from the designated location in the location machine.
And so the local machine should be updated using the advertisement material
either manually or automatically depending on the location where the kiosk is
placed.

Module 2
Internet Kiosk – the module provide the functionality to change the machine to
coin operated kiosk machine. For each
coin inserted by the user, User gets the machine for internet access for
pre-defined time limit.
Module 3
Ad & Kiosk Management module which should work on the Server end to manage
the advertisement and should be able to control the client kiosk machine.

The Module 1 & Module 2 goes together on the client kiosk machine and Module
3 goes to the server end.

System requirement
• P4 processor with 256 MB Ram
• ATI RADEON 9000 64 MB Dual Head Graphics Card
• Integrated Device of Keyboard Mouse and USB Port to a single USB port
• and Finally Fedora core 6 Linux OS
• A Coin machine connected to the serial Port.
The Problem we are facing now,
1. Dual head setup for dual monitor and the final system which we like to have.
We can Display the video on the Top screen and user can use the other monitor
for internet access with the coin machine operated. But when the session is
finished we must lock the user screen and keep the video screen run for the
advertisement.
2. But unfortunately when you try to lock the screen, both the screen lock and
the video does not shows up.
3. Solution that can be implement to lock the screen is
Using Screensaver Method
To lock the screen, I used the command
• Dcop kdesktop kscreensaverIface lock
• Dcop kdesktop kscreensaverIface quit
But when you run the command both the screen is locked but we need only one
screen to be locked I think it is the problem with the xserver or any other
configuration I tried to figure out but I cannot succeed.
And I have used many other screensavers like xscreensavers, and other commands
like xset, display variable, etc…
Using keyboard lock method
By Locking the Keyboard users cannot use the system for internet access and
still the second screen keeps running the video. But unfortunately, when you
lock the keyboard, the system hangs.
If you can help please let me know.,
