Abstract

According to the present invention, a showcase may comprise: a body in which products are displayed in a plurality of stages; a transparent display panel provided in the body to see through the products, displaying an image; at least one sensor detecting a height of a user adjacent to the body; and a control unit controlling a portion of the transparent display panel higher than the height of the user detected by the sensor and a lower portion to differently be displayed.

Description

Showcase {Show Case}

The present invention relates to a show case, and more particularly, to a show case in which a portion of a transparent display panel corresponding to the same eye level as a user is visible after a user's height is detected, .

Showcase has evolved into a format that has a transparent display panel that can not only play video but can also look inside, and is likely to become a new advertising field in the future. The showcase can play various types of moving images in real time, and it is expected that the utility value can be further increased because the advertisement can be performed in a specific time or region.

The show case is provided with a transparent display panel for displaying a product on the inside, and a tempered glass is attached to the front of the transparent display panel to protect the transparent display panel.

The video playback of the show case proceeds throughout the transparent display panel. However, when the moving picture reproduction is performed in the entire transparent display panel, the advertisement effect is excellent at a long distance. However, when the same advertisement is reproduced while the user is close to the user, the visibility of the user may be obstructed,

Since the key of the user is different, it is necessary to facilitate the product identification by making it possible to exclude the moving image reproduction from the part where the user's field of view is located and to be in a viewable state. In addition, since the position of the field of view is low in a child with a small height, the lower part of the child must be viewed to easily identify the inner product.

2 is a side view of a state where a user is placed in a show case according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIGS. 3 to 6 are state diagrams showing display modes of a transparent display panel provided in a show case according to an embodiment of the present invention.
7 is a side view of a show case according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The showcase of the present invention is a showcase comprising: a main body in which a product is displayed in multiple stages; A transparent display panel provided on the main body and capable of viewing the product and capable of displaying an image; At least one sensor for sensing a height of a user adjacent to the main body; And a control unit for controlling the display unit to display the transparent display panel portion and the lower portion, which are higher than the height of the user, sensed by the sensor, in different states.

In the transparent display panel, a portion higher than the user's height can be displayed in a non-transparent manner, and a lower portion can be made transparent.

In the transparent display panel, a portion higher than the user's elongation may be displayed, a portion lower than the elongation of the user may be displayed, and a remaining portion may be viewable.

A portion of the lower portion of the transparent display panel may be displayed as non-transparent, a portion of the lower portion may be displayed as an image, and a portion of the lower portion may be visible, Can be installed.

Hereinafter, embodiments of a showcase according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed herein but may be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. To be precise.

As shown in FIG. 1, a showcase 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 102 in which a product 500 such as a beverage is displayed in multiple stages. The body (102) is provided with a door (110). The door 110 includes a transparent display panel 112 on which an image is reproduced and a tempered glass 114 for protecting the transparent display panel 112 is installed on an outer surface of the transparent display panel 112. Although not shown, the inner surface of the transparent display panel 112, that is, the surface facing the product 500, may be provided with a heat insulating glass.

The door (110) is provided with an illumination (116).

The main body 102 is provided with at least one sensor 130 and a controller 170 for sensing the height of the user proximate to the main body 102. The control unit 170 controls the upper and lower portions of the transparent display panel 112 to be displayed in different forms according to the height of the user sensed by the sensor 130, that is, the eye level.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the user approaches the main body 102, the sensor 130 measures the elongation of the user U. When the extension of the user U is measured, the controller 170 controls the upper portion P1 and the lower portion P2 of the transparent display panel 112 to be displayed in different forms. The portion L1 corresponding to the upper portion P1 of the transparent display panel 112 may be different depending on the elongation of the user U but it may be determined whether the adult L1 is adult or not, The upper portion P1 can be displayed separately. In general adults, the portion L1 corresponding to the upper portion P1 of the transparent display panel 112 is small and the portion corresponding to the lower portion P2 is large. On the other hand, in the case of a child, the portion L1 corresponding to the upper portion P1 of the transparent display panel 112 is larger than the adults and the portion corresponding to the lower portion P2 is smaller. In this way, the upper portion P1 and the lower portion P2 of the transparent display panel 112 should be displayed in different forms because of the difference in height between the adult and the child. The upper part P1 of the transparent display panel 112 corresponding to the eye level of the user U can reproduce the advertisement or darkly display the advertisement and make the lower part P2 visible, have. In this case, since the portion P1 where the advertisement is reproduced is smaller than the entire transparent display panel 112, the advertisement can be reproduced in a reduced form.

3, when the user U is close to the main body 102, the controller 130 measures the elongation by the sensor 130 and the controller 170 controls the height of the upper portion of the transparent display panel 112 P1) and the lower portion (P2). In this state, the portion of the upper portion P1 is displayed as invisible, and the portion of the lower portion P2 is made visible, allowing the user U to concentrate and select the product easily.

Alternatively, as shown in Fig. 4, the advertisement can be reproduced from the upper portion P1 of the transparent display panel 112, and the lower portion P2 can be made transparent. In this case, the portion of the upper portion P1 where the advertisement is reproduced may cause the advertisement to be reproduced in a form smaller than the entire transparent display panel 112. [ The reason for this is to allow the close user U to see the advertisement more effectively.

5 and 6, after the elongation of the user U is measured, the upper and lower portions P2 of the certain portion of the transparent display panel 112 are positioned on the basis of the portion L1 corresponding to the elongation, Can be displayed. And makes the remaining upper portion P1 and the lower portion P1 'invisible, or reproduces the advertisement.

7 is a side view of a show case according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which a plurality of sensors 230a, 230b, 230c are installed in the body 102 in the longitudinal direction. In this case, the elongation of the user U is measured by the respective sensors 230a, 230b, and 230c provided at the different heights H1, H2, and H3, respectively. Reference numeral 190 denotes a handle.
