Description

2866144 -1-

  The present invention relates to an improvement of the portable information media which are equipped sandwich-men, which we will call in the text that follows street media, (which is the literal translation of the street media brand that we filed to denominate invention), and which are used to transmit commercial information to consumers.

  Until now, the information conveyed by the sandwich man was traditionally provided by static means, such as advertisements and printed illustrations on black or colored posters, applied on a panel and worn on a man's back.

  However, it was found that these illustrations had the disadvantage of being devoid of adaptability to the different places visited by the sandwich man (impossibility of changing the message quickly). In addition, the sandwich man did not participate commercially in understanding the message. Thus, the sandwich man was simply a carrier whose role was traditionally limited to showing a static display in the pedestrian zones and sidewalks of cities.

  Contrary to the provisions usually encountered for traditional equipment sandwich-men, several improvements are made to the sandwich man's panel by the invention which follows: the street media device according to the invention makes it possible to transmit visual commercial information and sound, whose content is adaptable by the variation of the messages, while offering a strong interactivity of which the sandwich man is the animator; to do this, the news media is no longer located in the back of the sandwich man but on his stomach, so that the sandwich man can participate in commercial communication, going beyond the traditional role of a simple street wearer, - finally, it allows the consumer to interact with the portable ventral media, to take control of a wireless controller or keyboard, which offers the advantage of significantly improving the content and interactivity of the commercial communication sought.

  2866144 -2- The advantages of this new provision are as follows: - by having a ventral media and wireless communication interfaces, the sandwich man participates in commercial communication, going beyond the traditional role of a simple street carrier, - the backlit and sound-absorbed media, becomes visible and viewable by the consumer day and night, the media goes beyond static information to offer a dynamic presentation of commercial information, which can then accept more content, for example: o watch the trailer for a new movie, o listen to an excerpt from a new album of songs, o take the joysticks to try a new video game, o view the views of a photo album ...

  the consultation of the street media also offers the consumer 15 new opportunities for interactivity, such as: o search data on the internet or view any online business information, o participate in a game or contest online, in real time in the street, o become a media actor, get filmed, or record your voice, thanks to the camera and the built-in microphone, o take control of the street media, via a joystick, a touch screen or a wireless keyboard , to answer a survey, a poll ... and give his opinion.

  The street media object of the invention comprises according to a first feature, a tunic provided with a display screen integrated in a window VENTRALE, completed if necessary by speakers, with a camera and a microphone. This first improvement was achieved through the use of a flat screen electroluminescent broadcasting images in color.

  According to a second characteristic, the street media can be ANIME REMOTE BY THE CHALAND, THROUGH A WIRELESS PERIPHERAL COMMAND, with the assistance of the bearer who becomes an actor of the commercial message, According to a third characteristic, this Screen and its addressing system are powered autonomously by portable batteries, as shown on the - Figure 2 What makes PORTABLE PORTABLE MEDIA. This second improvement could be obtained through the use of a flat screen supplied with very low safety voltage, typically less than 50 volts.

  According to a fourth characteristic of the street media, this screen and its addressing system are directly supplied with very low safety voltage WITHOUT CONVERTER, which gives them a higher operating autonomy.

  The device according to the invention is particularly intended to be used as a portable ventral interactive street media for equipping sandwich-men.

  According to particular embodiments, the street media can be configured to take the form of: - a video game console, an interactive interactive survey sheet for a street survey, an interactive consultation assisted by the type: question and answer games ...

  The attached drawing illustrates the invention: FIG. 1 is a front view of the device of the invention consisting of: a flexible one-piece panel carried on the shoulders and pierced with a hole for the passage of the sandwich man's head (1), - provided with a ventral screen (2), - and his back feeding system (3).

  According to one embodiment, the characteristic products for the execution of components (2) and (3) are commercial components derived from video-TV and portable microcomputers. According to a variant that is not illustrated, the form of the tunic can be of any form and of any kind and any mode of attachment or integration, since it comprises a multimedia screen disposed in the same ventral configuration.

  According to a variant not illustrated, the screen described in the invention can take a square, rectangular, polygonal, rigid, flexible, or cylindrical shape.
