Description

The claimed technical solution as a utility model relates to the information technology industry and the advertising industry. The outdoor video-roller monitor device is combinational and includes both an automatic player with image projection (MPK-7: G03B 21/04) and a device in which the displayed advertising material is part of a moving tape (MPK-7: G09F 11 / 24).

The outdoor video-roller monitor device is designed to demonstrate video information or static frames that dynamically replace each other - on screens installed on or near small objects.

The technical result of the application of the proposed technical solution is to increase the efficiency of using dynamic (with changing images) medium-sized street demonstration devices (screen diagonal up to 5 m) - at any time of the day, in any ambient light.

Due to the fact that the proposed design combines two types of demonstration devices - a projection video monitor and a roller display, we give analogues and prototypes for each of them.

The closest ANALOGUES of a projection video monitor include projection modules - video cubes from Christie Digital Inc. Information about them can be found on the Internet on the website of the company:

http: //www.christiedigital.co.uk/emea/pages/search.aspx? s = 2057 & k = cube

A close domestic analogue of the video projection device, PROTOTYP-1 is “Outdoor video monitor device” described in the application for utility model No. 2008129205 of July 17, 2008 (RF Patent for utility model No. 79191).

The projection video monitor is designed on the basis of a video projection system consisting of a screen, a supporting structure for it, with which the screen is installed on or near small objects, located next to a video projector, which is placed in a protective thermal box, control and monitoring unit to ensure all-weather operation any source of video signals to be displayed on the screen.

The projection in the video monitor can be of two types - direct or reverse.

With direct projection, the video projector is located on the side of the viewers - it is offset from the center axis of the screen and keystone distortions of images are inevitable, but modern video projectors provide for the correction of such distortions digitally by introducing reverse biases in the frame format - as a result, the image on the screen is restored in the correct format.

In reverse projection - the video projector is located behind a translucent screen. In this case, the video projector can be installed on the central axis of the screen, and the entire design of the video monitor is closed with a protective casing, resembling a large television with a cathode ray tube.

The projection video monitor operates as follows. The operator servicing the device inserts the corresponding video information medium into a reader, a video player connected to the video projector, and turns on the playback mode. The video projector projects a powerful light stream of the video image onto the screen.

As ANALOGUES of the roller display are roller displays of various formats, developed by the industry leading domestic company BiqPlakat, information about them is available on the company's website on the Internet at

http://www.bigplakat.ru

For the roller display as a PROTOTYPE-2 - a BiqPlakat roller display of the Citibord standard was selected with the dimensions of the demonstration field (2.7 × 3.7) m.

The standard design of the roller display includes: a box with a front wall, on which there is a display window, protected by glass. Behind the demonstration window, posters and advertising frames made of rectangular pieces of flexible thin synthetic or paper strong translucent material are moved and stopped for demonstration, moreover, on their outer side, images of advertising frames in the size of the demonstration window are printed. The basis of the design for moving and fixing posters in the demonstration window is made up of two metal shafts, the upper and lower, to which the ends of the flexible tape are formed, formed by a number of posters connected in series (up to 15 pcs). Tape from posters (banner), wound on one shaft - is wound from another shaft; the movement of the tape and its interference in the vertical plane are provided by the rotation of the shafts using electric motors. The stops for demonstration and the correct positioning of posters in the demonstration window are carried out either using position sensors or using a microcontroller that counts the number of steps of a stepper motor that rotates the shaft. Automatic change of the direction of rotation of the scroll shaft is provided by sensors of the beginning and end of the banner. There is an internal illumination of posters with fluorescent lamps, which makes the advertising frame more visible and attractive in the dark. Display operation modes, automatic or manual, time for demonstration of frames - are set using a control board made on the basis of a microprocessor, which is programmed using a plug-in remote programmer.

Common features of PROTOTYPES 1, 2 and the claimed technical solution are a demonstration device with both an automatic cycle for displaying static frames on posters in the "roller display" mode and with automatic display of video images on the screen in the "projection video monitor" mode.

The differences of the proposed technical solutions from prototypes are:

- in the design of the video-roller monitor two different types of demonstration devices are connected - a roller display and a projection video monitor;

- the operation of these devices is carried out alternately depending on the time of day in two different modes: "roller display" or "projection video monitor."

The purpose of the claimed utility model is to increase the efficiency of street dynamic demonstration devices at any time of the day.

Each individual device, a projection video monitor or a roller display, has its own advantages and disadvantages of displaying visual information - depending on the ambient light, which in turn depends on the time of day.

Projection video monitors are effective in low ambient light - morning, evening, especially they are effective at night. In sunny weather, in bright conditions, the video image may disappear altogether.

With roller displays, it's the other way around. The brighter the sun, the more colorful the roller frames. At low ambient light, they fade; either internal or external artificial illumination of roller posters is required.

The combination of a roller display and a projection video monitor with a rear projection in one design allows you to create a street dynamic demonstration video-roller device of the 24/7 class, i.e. a device that works efficiently all 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

The essence of the claimed technical solution lies in the fact that the dynamic demonstration device is performed on a standard basis of a roller display, but without a rear wall, instead of which a rear projection video monitor is installed, consisting of a video projector placed in a protective thermal box, a mounting frame for a thermal box, a frame with a protective casing, supporting structure, with which the device is installed on or near small objects, control and monitoring unit and any source of video information signals the display to be shown on the screen, and the screen for video projection can serve as either a translucent blank (without an advertising image) extreme poster connected to the banner with other advertising posters, or a separate translucent screen with the dimensions of the demonstration window located behind the banner, in this case In the video projection mode, the banner occupies one of the extreme positions and releases the demo window.

Outdoor video-roller monitor can be used in crowded places, for example, in places of trade, sports facilities, airports, train stations, marinas and the like. It can also be used along roads and highways, on roadside buildings, pavilions and trade and food facilities, such as, for example, McDonald's and the like.

The design description of the claimed technical solution is illustrated by the schematically attached drawing of figure 1, where:

1 - display box;

2 - front wall;

3 - a protective glass of a demonstration window;

4 - lower shaft;

5 - stepper motor drive the lower shaft;

6 - upper shaft;

7 - stepper motor drive the upper shaft;

8 - banner, ribbon from posters;

12 - video projector;

13 - thermal casing of a video projector;

14 - bed mount thermoshell with a video projector;

15 - a protective casing of the structure;

16 - tetrahedral frame structure;

17 - front structural support;

18 - rear structural support;

19 is a common control and management unit.

The device of the roller display consists of a metal box 1, the front wall 2. On the front wall 2 there is a demonstration window protected by glass 3. The lower shaft 4 is driven into rotation through the drive by means of a stepper motor 5, and the upper shaft 6 by means of a stepper motor 7. A tape of posters 8 (banner) is wound (wound) on the shafts and fastened to each other at the joints 9. The dimensions of the posters slightly exceed the dimensions of the demonstration window, and on their outside they are applied by printing methods. Nia advertising frames. The poster is stopped and correctly positioned in the demonstration window when demonstrating the next advertising frame either using the sensors of the border of the poster, or as in the latest models of BiqPlakat rollers - without sensors, by controlling the number of steps of the stepper motors. Changing the banner scroll direction after demonstrating the extreme posters occurs either from the extreme loss sensors, or by counting the number of scrolled posters in one direction. The sensor 10 stops the display in case of breakage of the tape posters. The microprocessor control board 11 serves to ensure the coordinated operation of the display nodes, in particular, to set the time for demonstration of one poster. The microprocessor is programmed using a remote control programmer with the appropriate cable and connector for connecting to the control board.

The design of the video projection monitor is made according to the rear projection scheme. Its basis is a video projector 12, for all-weather operation placed in a thermal box 13, which protects the video projector from dust, rain, insects and automatically maintains a positive temperature inside (≥ + 7 ° C) in the cold season. A thermal box with a video projector is attached to the bed 14. The video projection system is closed with a protective dust-moisture-proof casing 15, which is attached to the tetrahedral frame 16. The entire design of the video-roller monitor is attached to the object using the front 17 and rear 18 supports.

A video projection screen can be either a translucent blank (without an advertising image) extreme poster connected to other advertising posters in a banner, or a separate translucent screen with the size of a demo window located behind the banner; in this case, in the video projection mode, the banner occupies one of the extreme positions and releases the demo window.

The common control unit 19 with a video player, a source of video signals to be demonstrated can be located in the nearest room and connected to the video-roller monitor with a cable with corresponding connectors. In the case of wireless remote monitoring and control of a video-roller monitor using networks such as GSM, GPRS, Wi-Fi or the like, the corresponding equipment can be placed in a thermal box with a video projector.

For sound accompaniment, if this is desirable and acceptable by the surrounding environment, the video monitor can be supplemented with a corresponding external audio system.

The video roller monitor device operates in two modes as follows.

In daylight hours the "roller display" mode is turned on. In an automatic cycle, a banner, scrolling alternately in both directions, shows advertising frames on posters.

In the dark, the "projection video monitor" mode is activated, in which the video projector projects video images onto the screen.

The general control of the video-roller monitor, the inclusion of a particular operating mode, can be carried out either manually by the commands of a service operator or automatically from a real-time timer, the programming of which can be focused on the times of sunrise and sunset in a given area.

Briefly indicated device can be called a "video roller".

An example of a possible specific application of a video roller on a typical McDonald's power supply pavilion is shown in FIG. 2, where:

1 - video roller;

2 - supporting device;

3 - the roof of the McDonald's pavilion.
