First embodiment

First embodiment to information output device of the present invention is illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Figure 1, information output device 1 comprises control module 2, information memory cell 3, display unit 4, position detection unit 5, feeler 6 and print unit 7.Control module 2 is provided with CPU, ROM and RAM, and each operation of control information output device 1 (whole information output device 1).Information memory cell 3 comprises hard disk or the large-capacity storage media that is designed to store the polytype information that will provide for user 8.Display unit 4 shows the various types of information that is stored in the information memory cell 3 and will be provided for user 8.Position detection unit 5 detect user 8 whether by with display unit 4 in the regional A and B of the spacing decision of specific range, wherein user 8 uses the information that is shown by display unit 4, when definite user 8 is on the scene, determines the zone at user 8 places.Feeler 6 detects user 8 and has touched display unit 4, or stretches out his or her hand almost touches display unit 4 to his or her hand position (after this, being also referred to as " contact ") to display unit 4.Print unit 7 is printed the information relevant with user 8 use (comprising user's 8 current information of seeing and the integral body that comprises this information).It should be understood that regional A and B are illustrative.Also can comprise or not comprise other zones.For example, also can use additional areas C and D (with other) (with relevant, as described below) from output device 1 additional distance and/or angle apart

The various information that offers user 8 is received by telecommunication circuit by control module 2, and control module 2 is designed to the various information that control information storage unit 3 is received by control module 2 with storage.Feeler 6 has the function of print command input media, and this print command input media is used to input command with by print unit 7 type informations.When control module 2 according to from the input signal detection of feeler 6 when user 8 has touched display unit 4, control module 2 is to print unit 7 input print commands.Like this, in information output device 1, information is printed in print unit 7.Position detection unit 5 comprises known light activated element.

When Fig. 2 was illustrated in user 8 away from display unit 4, the user was just from display unit 4 reception information.Under situation shown in Figure 2, according to input signal (above-mentioned definite result) from position detection unit 5, control module 2 determines that user 8 from display unit 4 specific ranges (for example is positioned at, in the area B of 5-15m) locating, and make display unit 4 show heading messages as the outline content, although so that the user also can the identifying information summary on display unit 4.For instance, as title, " will issue new product YY.$XXXX " will be displayed in the display unit 4.

When user 8 not in regional A or B, can adopt in the following structure: when thinking that user 8 is in area B, in display unit 4 with the structure of display message title only under the display mode; With the structure of display message not in display unit 4.In a kind of structure in back, can save power.

If design display unit 4 in mode by roll display information, rather than demonstration outline content, by rolling speed is provided with lower (for example, 15 seconds/page) to reduce the quantity of information that time per unit will show in display unit 4, the mode that information can be easy to read is presented to the user 8 outside certain distance.In addition, if display unit 4 is designed to the mode display message with periodically-varied information, cycle by prolonging display unit 4 (for example, 15 seconds/page) to reduce the quantity of information that time per unit will show in display unit 4, the mode that information can be easy to read is presented to the user 8 outside certain distance.

When Fig. 3 is illustrated in user 8 near display unit 4, user 8 will supply from display unit 4 reception information.

Under situation shown in Figure 3, according to the input signal from position detection unit 5, control module 2 determines that user 8 is positioned at the regional A from display unit 4 specific ranges (for example 0-5m).For details being shown to user 8 near display unit 4, control module 2 makes display unit 4 show the detailed content of the information relevant with title, for example, " March 11, the XX of company announced that they will be at littler multi-functional of April 25 issue size and weight and new product YY that can high speed processing.”

If display unit 4 is designed to by roll display information, by increasing rolling speed (for example, 10 seconds/page) to increase the quantity of information that will show at time per unit in display unit 4, information can be presented to user 8 fast.In addition, if display unit 4 is designed to the display message by periodically-varied information, by (for example shortening display unit 4,10 seconds/page interval) cycle, information can be presented to the user 8 near display unit 4 fast to increase the quantity of information that time per unit will show in display unit 4.

The print command that Fig. 4 illustrates according to user 8 is printed on the information that shows in the display unit 4.The aforesaid display unit 4 of user 8 contact, feeler 6 will indicates the signal that detects contact by feeler 6 to be input in the control module 2, and subsequently control module 2 input print commands to print unit 7 in, thereby the execution printing.

In addition, configurable information output device 1, so that detecting user 8, the area sensor (not shown) stretches out his or his hand to the position that almost touches display unit 4 to display unit 4, and think that user 8 has touched display unit 4, control module 2 is input to the order of type information in the print unit 7, and print unit 7 is carried out printing.In the case, can keep display unit 4 cleanings, even because when user 8 does not directly contact display unit 4, also can begin to print.

As for the information that will be printed, the information that shows when can be printed in user's 8 contact display units 4.In addition, for example, shown in Fig. 2 after the information that user 8 shows in display unit 4 during away from display unit 4, can be printed in the information shown in Fig. 3 (Fig. 4) in user 8 demonstration display unit 4 in during near display unit 4.Just, printable and a rating information collection that theme is relevant.Consider that user 8 carries the material 9 of printing and uses information in the material 9 be included in printing, information output device 1 preferably is configured to so that user 8 can select the information that will be printed.

In the above description, only be used as reference point by the regional A and the B that determine from the distance of display unit 4.Yet, preferably the distance from display unit 4 as a reference is divided into regional A (for example 0-5m), area B (for example 5-15m) and zone C (for example, 15-30m).

According to said structure, information output device 1 can be configured to so that, for example, when user 8 is in from the distance of display unit 4 during greater than 15m with less than the position of 30m, in display unit 4, show title, when user 8 be in distance from display unit 4 more than 5m during less than 15m in display unit 4 Display Summary, and, in display unit 4, showing in full during from the distance of display unit 4 as user 8 greater than 15m and less than the position of 30m.Like this, according to this structure, can make user 8 discern bulk information as far as possible according to the distance between user 8 and the display unit 4.If the configuration information output device is printed in full when showing in full in user 8 contact display units 4, information can be offered user 8 easily.

In this embodiment, configuration information output device 1 is so that whether position detection unit 5 determines to use the user 8 who is presented at the information in the display unit 4 on the scene, and when definite user 8 is on the scene (in other words, when position detection unit 5 is determined during whether users 8 are in by any one zone of determining from the distance of display unit 4), determine the zone at user 8 places.Yet information equipment 1 can be configured to so that position detection unit 5 is measured from display unit 4 to the user 8 distance when it determines that user 8 is on the scene, and the result of measurement is provided to control module 2.

Second embodiment

In a second embodiment, information output device 1 is configured to, make position detection unit 5 when it detect to use the user 8 of the information of demonstration display unit 4 on the scene, measurement is 8 distance from display unit 4 to the user, and in control module 2 the input measurement result, and the main routine shown in control module 2 execution graphs 5.

When the main routine shown in control module 2 execution graphs 5, it obtains measurement result at S110 from position detection unit 5.At S120, according to the measurement result that is obtained, control module 2 determine user 8 whether distance display unit 4 apart from B in.Particularly, the measurement result indication user 8 who obtains from position detection unit 5 during away from distance B, control module 2 is determined "No" at S120, and when this measurement result indication user 8 is in distance B, determines "Yes" at S120.In addition, when control module 2 obtains measurement result that indication users 8 are absent from the scene, think user 8 away from distance B, and determine "No" at S120.

Configurable position detection unit 5, to measure between display unit 4 and the user 8 with respect to the distance on the vertical direction of the display surface that places the display unit 4 on the horizontal plane, or measurement is apart from the distance at the center (shown in Fig. 6, initial point O) of the display surface of display unit 4.Measuring under the situation of the distance of display unit 4 centers (initial point O), determining that at S120 user 8 is whether in the radius B at the center of distance display unit 4 (initial point O).

When control module 2 when S120 determines "No", flow process proceeds to S125, at this step place, control module 2 is hidden the content on the screen of display units 4.After this, flow process proceeds to S170, and control module 2 determines whether the instruction that finishes main routine is imported from the outside by the operation of for example powered-down.When the instruction of end of input master routine (S170: be), control module 2 finishes main routine.(S170: not), flow process does not again proceed to S110, and in this step, control module 2 obtains most recent measurements from position detection unit 5 when having input instruction.

When control module 2 when S120 determines "Yes", flow process proceeds to S130, at this step place, control module 2 determines that according to measurement result distance between display unit 4 and the user 8 is whether greater than the distance A (distance of A＜measurement≤B).

When the measurement result (distance) of position detection unit 5 satisfied inequality " distance≤B of A＜measurement ", control module 2 was determined "Yes" at the S130 place, and flow process proceeds to S135, and at this step place, control module 2 allows display unit 4 to show the outline content.Title shown in Fig. 2 is included as the outline content.

When but outline content that be easy to user 8 identification less when quantity of information showed in display unit 4, flow process proceeded to S170.If there is not the end of input instruction, flow process proceeds to S110, and in this position, control module 2 obtains most recent measurements from position detection unit 5 once more.

When the measurement result (distance) that is detected by position detection unit 5 does not satisfy inequality " distance≤B of A＜measurement " (S130: in the time of not), user 8 is in the distance A of display unit 4, and flow process proceeds to S140, at this step place, control module 2 is according to determining from the input signal of feeler 6 whether user 8 contacts display unit 4.(S140: not), flow process proceeds to S150, and in this step, control module 2 allows display unit 4 to show detailed content if control module 2 determines user 8 not contact display unit 4.As this detailed content, comparing the details with more information with title can be comprised.

So, when comparing the content with more information with the outline content and be displayed in the display unit 4, flow process proceeds to S170.If there is not the instruction of end of input, flow process proceeds to S110, and at this step place, control module 2 obtains most recent measurements from position detection unit 5 once more.

When control module 2 was determined user's 8 contact display units 4 (S140: be) at the S140 place, flow process proceeded to S160, and in this step, control module 2 inputs are printed the instruction of detailed content in print unit 7.Like this, in print unit 7, produce the output of the printing of detailed content, and the material of printing 9 is provided for user 8.Before S140 is defined as "Yes", be defined as "No" at S140 usually, and detailed content is displayed in the display unit 4.Like this, at the S160 place, print the detailed content that shows in the display unit 4.

Finish after the step at step S160 place, control module 2 is made definite at S170.If there is not the instruction of end of input, flow process proceeds to S110.If the instruction of end of input, then control module 2 finishes main routine.

So far, the information output device 1 of second embodiment has been illustrated.Information output device 1 has the function similar to first embodiment, wherein whether is in by one from the distance a plurality of zones that limit of display unit 4 according to definite user 8, and the display mode of change display message.

That is,,, then will compare with the distance A that is defined as the threshold value that is used to show title or details by the measured distance of position detection unit 5 if be the information shown among Fig. 2,3 and 4 one with the information that shows according to information output device 1.When the distance of measuring by position detection unit 5 during, the display mode of display unit 4 is made as title (with reference to figure 2) greater than distance A.When this distance is equal to or less than distance A, then show details (with reference to Fig. 3).As the situation of first embodiment, can consider to use the user 8 of information and the distance between the display unit 4, according to user 8 position, to allow user 8 be easy to identification mode display message in display unit 4.

Even in a second embodiment, can stipulate that a plurality of distances such as A, B and C are threshold value.In the case, consider and user 8 and display unit 4 between distance, can make user 8 identification information as much as possible.

More than the embodiment that changes display mode according to distance between user 8 and the display unit 4 is illustrated.Yet, if display unit 4 comprises LCDs (LCD), depend on the angle that forms by display screen surface and user's sight line, user 8 may be difficult to identifying information.Like this, configurable information output device 1 changes display mode (quantity of information) with the angle that forms according to display screen surface and user's sight line.

The 3rd embodiment

The information output device 1 of the 3rd embodiment is configured to consider the characteristic of display unit 4 and the distance between user 8 and the display unit 4 and changes display mode, so that user 8 identifying information reliably.Especially, determine display mode according to two factors of distance and visual angle of display unit 4.Especially use this function when having the LCD at narrower visual angle at display unit 4.

Fig. 6 A is the planimetric map (when the view of seeing the position relation between user 8 shown in Fig. 2 and the display unit 4 from the top) of position relation between signal user 8 and the display unit 4, and in the relation between signal display unit 4, initial point O and angle [alpha] h, β h, the θ h on the horizontal plane.The position (for example, the center of user 8 eyes) of some P indication user 8 among Fig. 6 A.

In Fig. 6 A, the ad-hoc location on the display screen surface of display unit 4 (center on the horizontal direction of present embodiment) is regarded as the initial point O of display unit 4.Especially, display unit 4 has horizontal view angle 2 β h.Angle θ h is limited by line OP and line OQ.Line OP connects the point at initial point O and user 8 places on the horizontal plane that comprises initial point O.On the horizontal plane that comprises initial point O, line OQ extends from initial point O, and vertical with display unit 4.If angle θ h is enough littler than β h, and user 8 is positioned at the distance A from display unit 4, and then user 8 even can discern the details that show in as shown in Figure 3 the display unit 4 is positioned at the situation of position Q as user 8.

On the other hand, if angle θ h angle of approach β h (supposing angle θ h＜angle beta h), user 8 may be able to see the information of for example character that shows in the display unit 4, yet user 8 is difficult to identifying information exactly.

In the 3rd embodiment, the pass that quantity of information (information interval or information bar number) and user 8 can manage between the limiting angle of identifying information is to test gained in advance, thereby is identified for showing the threshold alpha h (supposing α h≤β h) of detailed content (details).If angle θ h is greater than threshold alpha h, though user 8 in the distance A of display unit 4, preferably, control module 2 control display units 4 are to show as the outline content (title) shown in Fig. 2.

In the 3rd embodiment, threshold alpha v is provided with in vertical direction with respect to angle θ v.Fig. 6 B for the planimetric map of position relation between signal user 8 and the display unit 4 (for example, when the view of seeing user 8 among Fig. 2 and the position between the display unit 4 relation from the side), and illustrate in display unit 4, initial point O and angle [alpha] v on the plane vertical (after this, being called vertical plane), the relation between β v, the θ v with horizontal plane.Point P indication user's 8 position (for example, user 8 eyes), it projects on the vertical plane that comprises initial point O.

In Fig. 6 B, the ad-hoc location on the display screen surface of display unit 4 (being the center on the vertical direction in the present embodiment) is regarded as the initial point O of display unit 4.Especially, display unit 4 has vertical angle of view 2 β v.Line OQ is for connecting the straight line of initial point O and some Q, and it is from initial point O extension and vertical with display screen surface.On a vertical plane, connect initial point O and and put the line OP of P and form angle theta v from initial point O extension and the line (it equals line OQ when display screen is arranged vertically) vertical with display screen surface.In one aspect, the vertical angle of view can be seen the height correlation (for example, for can from the display unit 4 seen of multi-story of building) of display screen 4 with the user.On the other hand, this vertical angle of view can with the user's who sees display unit 4 height correlation (for example, the adult with 2 meters height compares with the child with 1 meter height).

In the 3rd embodiment, as have under the situation of threshold alpha h, the pass that quantity of information (number of information interval or information bar) and user 8 can manage between the limiting angle of identifying information is to test gained in advance, thereby is identified for showing that the threshold alpha v on the vertical direction of detailed content (details) (supposes α v≤β v).If angle θ v is greater than threshold alpha v, though user 8 in the distance A of display unit 4, preferably, control module 2 control display units 4 are to show as the outline content (title) shown in Fig. 2.

In order to realize this type of control, the position detection unit 5 of the 3rd embodiment is configured to has the take measurement of an angle function of θ h and θ v and the function of measuring the distance shown in second embodiment.In addition, control module 2 is configured to show change procedure with the content shown in the S150 place execution graph 7 of the main routine shown in Fig. 5.

In other words, utilize the control module 2 of information output device 1 of second embodiment and the information output device 1 that position detection unit 5 has realized the 3rd embodiment, content shown in this control module 2 is configured in S150 execution graph 7 shows change procedure, and position detection unit 5 is configured to the measurement result that output comprises angle θ h and θ v.Like this, below will show that change procedure makes a detailed description to content.In the information output device 1 in first embodiment, when according to determining that from the input signal of position detection unit 5 user 8 is in by from display unit 4 (for example, in the time of in the regional A of preset distance 0-5m), this content shows that change procedure can be by control module 2 execution.

Fig. 7 is that control module 2 is carried out the process flow diagram that content shows change procedure at the S150 place.When carrying out content demonstration change procedure, control module 2 determines whether be less than or equal to angle [alpha] h as the angle θ h of the measurement result of position detection unit 5 at the S151 place.When angle θ h is not less than when also being not equal to angle [alpha] h (as angle θ h during greater than angle [alpha] h) (S151: not), make display unit 4 demonstration outline contents (title) at S155 place control module 2.Subsequently, content shows that change procedure finishes.

On the other hand, when angle θ h is less than or equal to angle [alpha] h (S151: be), flow process proceeds to S153, and in this step, control module 2 determines whether angle θ v are less than or equal to angle [alpha] v.When angle θ v be not less than also be not equal to angle [alpha] v (when angle θ v greater than angle [alpha] (S153: not), make display unit 4 demonstration outline contents (title) v) the time at S155 place control module 2.Subsequently, content shows that change procedure finishes.

When definite angle θ v is less than or equal to angle [alpha] v (S153: be), " θ h≤α h " and " θ v≤α v " all is satisfied.Like this, flow process proceeds to S157, and in this step, control module 2 makes display unit 4 show detailed content (details).Subsequently, content shows that change procedure finishes.

According to information output device 1, if " θ h≤α h " or " θ v≤α v " do not satisfied in user 8 position, then the outline content is displayed by priority in display unit 4.Like this, even, also can make user 8 identifying information reliably owing to the characteristic of display unit 4 is difficult to content on the visual identity display screen surface.

The visual angle may be only need be adjusted in the position that is placed according to information output device 1 on the level of display unit 4 or vertical direction.In the case, do not say and bright, need not use respectively in the horizontal direction with vertical direction on two threshold alpha h and α v control.

As long as display unit 4 is configured to by roll display information, can be in advance obtain relation between rolling speed and the limiting angular subtense, with the threshold value on calculated level or the vertical direction by experiment.If angle θ (user 8 sight line) is bigger than threshold value, (for example then can reduce quantity of information that time per unit shows in display unit 4, be reduced to 15 seconds/page rolling rate), even so that when user 8 is positioned at the position that is difficult to identifying information, user 8 also can reliable recognition information.

The information output device 1 of considering the visual angle configuration is not limited to the configuration of the 3rd embodiment, and can adopt other configurations.

The 4th embodiment

When control module 2 is defined as "No" at the S220 place, flow process proceeds to S225, and in this step, control module 2 makes that content displayed is hidden on the screen of display unit 4.Subsequently, flow process proceeds to S290, and in this step, for example, control module 2 determines whether the instruction that finishes main routine is transfused to from the outside by the operation of for example powered-down.When the instruction that finishes main routine is transfused to (S290: be), control module 2 finishes main routine.(S290: not), flow process is not returned S210, and in this step, control module 2 obtains up-to-date testing result from position detection unit 5 when having input instruction.

On the other hand, when control module 2 is defined as "Yes" at the S220 place, flow process proceeds to S230, in this step, control module 2 obtain by the reference line OQ on the xy plane be connected initial point O and (in other words according to the user's 8 of testing result indication three-dimensional location coordinates (x, y, z) indication user's 8 position P, vector V h (x, y, 0)) line and the angle θ h that forms.In the 4th embodiment, angle θ h is replaced by cosine value.

cosθh＝y/|Vh|

|Vh|＝(x ²+y ²) ^1/2

After the process at S230 place, flow process proceeds to S235, in this step, control module 2 obtains by the vector V (0 that extends vertically up to display screen surface on the yz plane from initial point O, α, β) and connect initial point O and according to by the user's 8 of testing result indication three-dimensional location coordinates (x, y, z) the angle θ v that forms of the line of the some P of the position of indication user 8 on the yz plane.In the 4th embodiment, angle θ v is replaced by cosine value.

cosθv＝(α·y+β·z)/((α ²+β ²) ^1/2·|Vv|)

|Vv|＝(y ²+z ²) ^1/2

After S235, flow process proceeds to S240, and in this step, control module 2 uses cosine value relatively predetermined angular β h and angle θ h, and whether definite cos θ h is less than cos β h (cos θ h＜cos β h).When control module 2 is determined cos θ h less than cos β h (S240: be), mean that the angle θ h shown in Fig. 6 A is greater than angle beta h.Like this, flow process proceeds to S225, and in this step, control module 2 makes on display unit 4 content displayed hide.Subsequently, flow process proceeds to S290.

On the other hand, determine cos θ h more than or equal to cos β h (S240: deny) when control module 2, flow process proceeds to S245, and in this step, control module 2 uses cosine values relatively predetermined angular β v and angle θ v.Specifically, whether (cos θ v＜cos β v) less than cos β v for control module 2 definite cos θ v.When control module 2 is determined cos θ v less than cos β v (S245: be), mean at the angle θ v shown in Fig. 6 B greater than angle beta v.Like this, flow process proceeds to S225, and in this step, control module 2 makes on the screen of display unit 4 content displayed hide.Subsequently, flow process proceeds to S290.

In addition, when control module 2 determines that (S245: in the time of not), flow process proceeds to S250 to cos θ v, in this step more than or equal to cos β v, control module 2 uses cosine value relatively more predetermined angle [alpha] h and θ h, and whether definite cos θ h is less than cos α h (cos θ h＜cos α h).In the 4th embodiment, angle [alpha] h and β h are predetermined, so that cos α is h＞and cos β h.

When control module 2 is determined cos θ h less than cos α h (S250: be), mean at the angle θ h shown in Fig. 6 A to be less than or equal to angle beta h and greater than angle [alpha] h.Like this, flow process proceeds to S260, and in this step, control module 2 makes display unit 4 show the outline content.The outline content comprises the title shown in Fig. 2.

When the outline content that has less quantity of information and be easy to allow user 8 discern was presented in the display unit 4, flow process proceeded to S290.When the instruction that finishes main routine was not transfused to, flow process turned back to S210, and in this step, control module 2 obtains up-to-date testing result from position detection unit 5 once more.

On the other hand, determine cos θ h more than or equal to cos α h (S250: deny) when control module 2, flow process proceeds to S255, and in this step, control module 2 uses cosine values relatively predetermined angle v and angle θ v.Particularly, whether (cos θ v＜cos α v) less than cos α v for control module 2 definite cos θ v.In the 4th embodiment, angle [alpha] v and β h are predetermined, so that cos α is v＞and cos β h.
