Abstract
This invention is a major improvement on the current vehicle mobile advertising system.
There are few options currently been offered on the market from back-lit printed plastic, magnetic stickers, hub caps, and scrolling LEDs. These systems work well but they often incur much higher cost over long period of time, to update these older systems one will need to reprint, re-install the signage over and over again, producing wasted materials, time and energy.
Combining the usage of latest digital signage technology we are able to eliminate this higher incurred cost, and with LCD
screens they are proven to be more effective medium of communication.
To use this type of technology in the outdoor environment produced few problems, 1. LCD
screens are sensitive to temperature changes, to solve this problem a continuous ventilation system with liquid bearing is added to the casing to provide cooling and ventilation of humidity. Custom made heating pads are added behind the screen for cold temperature operations to prevent LCD
screen freeze ups. 2. Weather proofing the system against rain, snow and dust.
This problem was solved using an ultra strong Aluminum casing to enclose the sensitive electronics; with 6 mm of tempered glass this creates a water proof environment inside the casing. 3. To reduce the weight of the system using Aluminum as constructive material. This has reduced the total weight of the working unit to 18 kg, which makes it safer and easier to be mounted on the roof top of a vehicle.
The system itself is connected to a media player located inside the vehicle through VGA
cable, the display system is not networked in any way, therefore reduces any chance of interference with vehicle's electronic system or GPS devices. Playback of the device is through a compact flash memory card, which can be updated quickly.

Description
Detailed description of the invention This invention is designed for outdoor mobile advertising; it has many advantages such as its ability to operate in hot and cold temperatures in the outdoor environment. It is able to with stand all types of weather including rain and snow.
Material used for casing (Casing diagram - drawing 1), the housing of the signage system is made up of Aluminum to create a strong frame with reduced weight. Combined with 6mm of tempered glass the housing unit is weather proof for rain, dirt, dust. The length of 21.4 inches will accommodate a 22 inch wide screen monitor with perfect fit. The tempered glass is attached to the housing with industrial adhesive to strengthen its ability to withstand extreme temperatures.
Electronic Components drawing 1 will show this invention can operate in harsh temperatures where other LCD devices will fail. This is due to the constant ventilation system that is running continuously and heating pad behind LCD monitors. The test temperature range is from -40 to +30.
Measurements and dimension - The casing unit will have a length of 21.4 inches, width of 14.5 inches, and height of 11.77 inches. These measurements will accommodate a 22 inch wide screen LCD screen.
The power is supplied through vehicle's battery system; the power consumption in operational stage will be 100 Watts total. The positive and negative cables are connected to the vehicle's battery terminal respectively to power up the inverter. And monitors will be powered through the inverter. There will be an extemal switch available outside the housing unit to provide the operator the ability to force shut down the system in case of emergency.
The casing can be mounted through the roof of a vehicle through 6 pre drilled holes of either nuts and bolts, or 6 RN80 magnetic legs (able to hold up 570 lb of weight).
