Touchscreen Kiosks for Court Applications

One of our most successful market offerings, from a client perspective, is in the courthouse arena. Very often people with business in the courts know that they are there for a particular trial, hearing, or meeting with court authorities, but there are unsure about the time or location of their appointment. This is especially important in courthouse applications because of the fluid nature of the scheduling within the court.

TTSS has helped several courts by developing both interactive and non-interactive solutions for these court challenges. Let's take one courthouse application and examine the solution that was developed.

The Bankruptcy Court in the Eastern District of New York recently renovated its building, and took the opportunity to upgrade their public facing information systems. TTSS collaborated with the Court and various construction groups to provide several touchscreen systems in the courthouse lobby. Visitors to the courthouse can now interrogate the touchscreen systems to find information about their hearings our to find courthouse personnel and departments.






In addition, TTSS created non-interactive lobby screens that display the courthouse hearings for the day, the tie of the hearings, and the location of the hearings. Each of the bankruptcy court's hearing rooms also has a digital sign in the hallway outside of the courtroom. The docket for that judge and day appears on that screen, with the hearings rolling off of the list as the end time of the hearing passes.

From the Court's perspective, perhaps the best feature of the systems is the docket data update capability. Each time the court scheduling software is manually updated to reflect the changing court schedule, the TTSS systems sense that change and automatically update all interactive and non-interactive screens with the new information. This has proven to be a real time saver for court personnel as well as courthouse visitors.

Of course, each implementation is unique and has its own particular needs and requirements. Contact one of our sales representatives and see how TTSS can help you with your digital signage needs.
