Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de contrôle du contenu et de la durée d'affichage de messages publicitaires. Elle trouve son application dans l'affichage de type actif: notamment lorsque l'affichage passe par l'utilisation de dispositifs électriques ou électroniques de visualisation.The present invention relates to a device for controlling the content and duration of display of advertising messages. It finds its application in the display of the active type: in particular when the display involves the use of electrical or electronic display devices.

On connaît les problèmes de l'affichage publicitaire. Un annonceur signe un contrat avec une société d'affichage selon lequel des panneaux publicitaires appartenant à la société d'affichage sont revêtus pendant une durée prédéterminée de messages publicitaires vantant les mérites des produits fabriqués et commercialisés par cet annonceur. Au terme du contrat les messages sont remplacés par des messages d'autres annonceurs. Quand les panneaux d'affichage sont destinés à recevoir des affiches, un préposé colle simplement au dessus du message précédent une affiche faisant la réclame des produits de l'annonceur suivant. Cette manutention est lourde à gérer. Elle nécéssite de nombreux personnels qu'il faut régulièrement envoyer auprès des panneaux d'affichage pour modifier l'affichage qu'ils portent.We know the problems with billboards. An advertiser signs a contract with a display company according to which advertising panels belonging to the display company are coated for a predetermined period with advertising messages extolling the merits of the products produced and marketed by this advertiser. At the end of the contract, the messages are replaced by messages from other advertisers. When the billboards are intended to receive posters, an agent simply sticks above the previous message a poster advertising the products of the next advertiser. This handling is cumbersome to manage. It requires many staff who must be sent regularly to billboards to change the display they wear.

On connaît d'autres dispositifs d'affichage, plus perfectionnés, où le panneau comporte un mécanisme pour intervertir des affiches présentées au public. Ce mécanisme comporte dans son principe deux cylindres disposés de part et d'autre du panneau et servant à présenter au public, par une fenêtre ménagée dans ce panneau, successivement différentes affiches relatives à différentes annonces publicitaires. Les affiches s'enroulent à la suite les unes des autres alternativement sur chacun des cylindres. Le mécanisme peut même être prévu pour présenter chaque affiche pendant une durée relativement courte, de l'ordre d'une quinzaine de secondes, de manière à attirer le regard des badauds. Psychologiquement, la disparition d'une affiche et son remplacement par une autre constitue un petit mystère qui attire instinctivement l'attention.Other more sophisticated display devices are known, where the panel includes a mechanism for inverting posters presented to the public. This mechanism comprises in principle two cylinders arranged on either side of the panel and serving to present to the public, through a window in this panel, successively different posters relating to different advertisements. The posters wind up one after the other alternately on each of the cylinders. The mechanism can even be provided to present each poster for a relatively short time, of the order of fifteen seconds, so as to attract the gaze of onlookers. Psychologically, the disappearance of one poster and its replacement by another constitutes a little mystery which instinctively attracts attention.

Dans ce système de présentation, cependant, il n'y a pas véritablement de contrôle de la durée d'affichage. En effet la durée d'affichage est tout simplement partagée, éventuellement d'une manière inégale, entre les différents annonceurs qui ont souscrit à une présentation de leurs produits par cette voie d'affichage. A l'issue de leur contrat de location, il est nécéssaire de démonter les rouleaux et d'enlever la bande contenant les multiples annonces qui y était enroulée. Elle est alors remplacée par une autre bande annonce, correspondant à des annonces souscrites par d'autres annonceurs. En pratique la périodicité de la modification du contenu des rouleaux est du même ordre que la périodicité du collage des affiches sur les panneaux d'affichage: elle est souvent d'une semaine. Cette modification entraîne également des manutentions fastidieuses.In this presentation system, however, there is no real control over the display time. Indeed the display time is simply shared, possibly unevenly, between the different advertisers who have subscribed to a presentation of their products by this display channel. At the end of their rental contract, it is necessary to dismantle the rollers and remove the strip containing the multiple advertisements that were rolled up there. It is then replaced by another trailer, corresponding to advertisements subscribed by other advertisers. In practice, the frequency of modification of the content of the rolls is of the same order as the frequency of pasting of the posters on the display panels: it is often a week. This modification also involves tedious handling.

Par le document EP-A-0196526, on connaît un dispositif de contrôle de la durée d'affichage de messages publicitaires comportant un poste téléphonique public mais la modification du contenu de ces messages est également fastidieuse.Document EP-A-0196526 discloses a device for controlling the duration of display of advertising messages comprising a public telephone set, but the modification of the content of these messages is also tedious.

L'invention a pour objet de remédier à ces problèmes de manutention, tout en proposant un système d'affichage pouvant susciter l'intérêt des badauds par l'apparition et la disparition des messages affichés. Le principe de l'invention consiste à coupler la durée de l'affichage d'une affiche sur un panneau à la durée d'une communication téléphonique échangée entre deux interlocuteurs dont un au moins se trouve dans une cabine publique de téléphone située à proximité de ce panneau d'affichage. Dans une solution préférée la cabine téléphonique comporte un poste téléphonique muni d'un guichet pour recevoir une carte électronique de prépaiement, et munie en outre de moyens pour prélever les informations stockées dans des zones mémoire supplémentaires de ces cartes et pour afficher ces informations sur un panneau d'affichage relié fonctionnellement à cette cabine téléphonique. Ce panneau peut être partie intégrante de la cabine.The object of the invention is to remedy these handling problems, while proposing a display system which can arouse the interest of onlookers by the appearance and disappearance of the messages displayed. The principle of the invention consists in coupling the duration of the display of a poster on a panel with the duration of a telephone call exchanged between two interlocutors, at least one of which is in a public telephone booth located near this billboard. In a preferred solution, the telephone booth includes a telephone set provided with a counter for receiving an electronic prepayment card, and further provided with means for taking the information stored in additional memory areas of these cards and for displaying this information on a display panel operatively connected to this telephone booth. This panel can be an integral part of the cabin.

L'invention a donc pour objet un dispositif de contrôle du contenu et de la durée d'affichage de messages publicitaires, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un poste téléphonique public, un panneau d'affichage relié au poste téléphonique public, des moyens pour afficher un message sur le panneau en fonction de la durée d'une communication téléphonique, des moyens pour que le téléphone public soit accessible par un moyen électronique de prépaiement, le moyen de prépaiement comportant une zone de mémorisation, et le dispositif comportant des moyens pour prélever un message publicitaire à afficher à partir d'informations contenues dans cette zone de mémorisaiton.The invention therefore relates to a device for controlling the content and duration of display of advertising messages, characterized in that it comprises a public telephone set, a display panel connected to the public telephone set, means for display a message on the panel as a function of the duration of a telephone call, means for the public telephone to be accessible by electronic prepayment means, the prepayment means comprising a storage area, and the device comprising means for collect an advertising message to display from information contained in this storage area.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit et à l'examen de la figure qui l'accompagne. Celles-ci ne sont données qu'à titre indicatif et nullement limitatif de l'invention. La figure 1, unique, montre un dispositif de contrôle de la durée d'affichage de messages publicitaires conforme à l'invention.The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows and on examining the accompanying figure. These are given for information only and in no way limit the invention. FIG. 1, unique, shows a device for controlling the duration of display of advertising messages according to the invention.

Une cabine téléphonique 1 de type publique comporte un poste téléphonique 2. Un panneau d'affichage 3 est relié fonctionnellement au poste téléphonique 2. Le dispositif de l'invention comporte des moyens 4 pour que la durée d'affichage d'un message sur le panneau 3 soit fonction de la durée d'une communication téléphonique échangée avec le poste 2. D'une manière préférée le poste 2 comporte un guichet 5 pour permettre l'insertion d'une carte électronique 6 de prépaiement. Cette carte 6 comporte des unités 7 de prépaiement. Pour provoquer le décompte des unités consommées la carte 6, dite carte à mémoire ou carte à puce électronique, comporte des bornes telles que 8 d'accès à sa mémoire. La mémoire de cette carte comporte des zones mémoire où les unités 7 de prépaiement sont programmées. Le poste téléphonique 2 comporte une interface 10 d'échange de type classique avec la carte à mémoire de prépaiement 6 pour provoquer le décompte.A public type telephone booth 1 includes a telephone set 2. A display panel 3 is functionally connected to the telephone set 2. The device of the invention comprises means 4 so that the duration of display of a message on the panel 3 is a function of the duration of a telephone call exchanged with the station 2. In a preferred manner, the station 2 comprises a window 5 to allow the insertion of an electronic prepayment card 6. This card 6 includes prepayment units 7. To cause the counting of the units consumed, card 6, known as a memory card or electronic chip card, comprises terminals such as 8 for accessing its memory. The memory of this card includes memory areas where the prepayment units 7 are programmed. The telephone set 2 includes an interface 10 for exchange of conventional type with the prepayment memory card 6 to cause the count.

D'une manière préférée la carte à mémoire 6 peut comporter aussi une autre zone 9 de mémorisation pour contenir un message publicitaire. L'interface 10 peut être perfectionnée dans les postes équipés à cet effet pour assurer la transmission du message contenu dans la zone 9 au panneau 3 d'affichage. Dans ce cas ce panneau 3 est de type actif. Il comporte par exemple toutes les fonctions d'une console normale de visualisation. La carte 6 peut aussi comporter un microprocesseur 11 de manière à gérer la transmission, à une mémoire 12 du poste 2, des informations contenues dans la zone 9 de mémorisation de la carte 6. A partir de la mémoire 12 on sait aussi afficher sur le panneau actif 3 les informations contenues dans cette mémoire.Preferably, the memory card 6 can also include another storage area 9 for containing an advertising message. The interface 10 can be improved in the stations equipped for this purpose to ensure the transmission of the message contained in the zone 9 to the display panel 3. In this case this panel 3 is of the active type. It includes for example all the functions of a normal display console. The card 6 can also include a microprocessor 11 so as to manage the transmission, to a memory 12 of the station 2, of the information contained in the zone 9 for storing the card 6. From the memory 12 it is also known to display on the active panel 3 the information contained in this memory.

D'une manière préférée le poste téléphonique 2 comporte en plus un circuit séquenceur 13 pour organiser dans le temps l'affichage sur le panneau 3 des informations contenues dans la mémoire 12. Le circuit séquenceur prend essentiellement en compte la durée pendant laquelle une communication a été échangée en utilisant la carte 6 comme moyen de prépaiement. Il peut mesurer simplement cette durée en comptant le nombre d'unités de prépaiement qui ont été déprogrammées de la carte à mémoire 6. Le circuit séquenceur 13 peut alors calculer une durée d'affichage égale, mais de préférence plutôt proportionnelle, à la durée pendant laquelle la carte 6 a été insérée dans le poste téléphonique 2. Ce séquenceur peut comporter une fonction d'affichage intermittent, pendant des durées courtes par exemple à chaque fois de l'ordre de 15 secondes, d'un message contenu dans la mémoire 12.Preferably, the telephone set 2 additionally includes a sequencer circuit 13 for organizing the display on the panel 3 of the information contained in the memory 12. The sequencer circuit essentially takes into account the duration during which a communication has been exchanged using card 6 as a means of prepayment. It can simply measure this duration by counting the number of prepayment units that have been deprogrammed from the memory card 6. The sequencer circuit 13 can then calculate a display duration equal, but preferably rather proportional, to the duration during which card 6 has been inserted in the telephone set 2. This sequencer may include a intermittent display function, for short periods, for example each time of the order of 15 seconds, of a message contained in the memory 12.

Lorsque la cabine 1 est utilisée par plusieurs utilisateurs successifs le séquenceur 13 et la mémoire 12 peuvent être organisés de manière à prendre en compte l'ensemble des messages publicitaires correspondant aux différentes cartes qui y ont été introduites et qui bien entendu peuvent être différents. Dans ce cas le séquenceur 13 peut organiser un multiplexage temporel des affichages de ces messages publicitaires. D'une manière préférée le multiplexeur 13 est en relation avec une horloge 14 qui peut en outre permettre de modifier les conditions de multiplexage en fonction des heures d'une journée. Par exemple l'affichage peut être éteint pendant la nuit, d'une part, et être modifié à un rythme plus rapide au moment des heures de grande circulation des badauds devant le panneau d'affichage d'autre part.When the cabin 1 is used by several successive users, the sequencer 13 and the memory 12 can be organized so as to take into account all of the advertising messages corresponding to the different cards which have been inserted therein and which of course may be different. In this case, the sequencer 13 can organize a time multiplexing of the displays of these advertising messages. Preferably, the multiplexer 13 is in relation to a clock 14 which can also make it possible to modify the multiplexing conditions as a function of the hours of a day. For example, the display can be turned off overnight, on the one hand, and be changed at a faster rate during times of high traffic of onlookers in front of the display panel on the other hand.

Le panneau d'affichage 3 peut être installé sur la cabine 1. En variante il peut être remplacé par un panneau 15 fixé sur un support éventuellement assez éloigné de la cabine 1. Bien que la capacité mémoire des mémoires supplémentaires 9 des cartes de prépaiement 6 soit actuellement relativement limitée, rien n'empêche que les informations que ces mémoires 9 contiennent soient représentatives d'une image à présenter sur un panneau 15. Dans ce cas le panneau 15 pour pouvoir représenter ces images peut être muni d'une multitude organisée d'éléments de visualisation à luminosité commutable. Par exemple le panneau 15 peut être un panneau dit à plasma. Le panneau 15 peut aussi être un écran de couleur blanche sur lequel est projetée, depuis un endroit en vis à vis, l'image représentative des annonces publicitaires à afficher. Le dispositif 16 de projection peut comporter par exemple un dispositif d'illumination d'une plaquette de cellules à cristaux liquides dont l'image est ensuite projetée sur l'écran 15 par passage dans une optique de Schlieren. Le dispositif de projection peut aussi être du type de celui connu sous le nom de la marque déposée "EIDOPHORE". Le choix d'un dispositif de projection est préférable car il met le système à l'abri des vandales. En outre, plutôt que de contenir tout le message à afficher, les zones mémoires de la carte peuvent ne contenir qu'une clef d'accès pour accéder à un serveur 17 relié à la cabine 1. Le serveur 17 qui peut aussi être de type télématique, peut alors envoyer des messages au dispositif 16. Le serveur assure ainsi le contrôle du message affiché, la durée d'affichage étant toujours liée à la communication téléphonique.The display panel 3 can be installed on the booth 1. As a variant, it can be replaced by a panel 15 fixed on a support possibly far enough from the booth 1. Although the memory capacity of the additional memories 9 of the prepayment cards 6 is currently relatively limited, nothing prevents the information that these memories 9 contain from being representative of an image to be displayed on a panel 15. In this case the panel 15 in order to be able to represent these images can be provided with an organized multitude of switchable brightness display elements. For example, the panel 15 can be a so-called plasma panel. The panel 15 can also be a white screen on which is projected, from a place opposite, the image representative of the advertisements to be displayed. The projection device 16 can comprise, for example, a device for illuminating a plate of liquid crystal cells, the image of which is then projected onto the screen 15 by passing through a Schlieren lens. The projection device can also be of the type known under the name of the registered trademark "EIDOPHORE". The choice of a projection device is preferable because it protects the system from vandals. In addition, rather than containing all the message to be displayed, the memory areas of the card may contain only one access key for accessing a server 17 connected to the cabin 1. The server 17 which can also be of the type telematics, can then send messages to the device 16. The server thus ensures control of the message displayed, the display time being always linked to telephone communication.

Avec un tel système, les opérations de manutention des affiches sont supprimées. En outre quand la carte à mémoire sert de clef d'accès, l'annonceur peut éventuellement faire évoluer dans le temps le contenu de ses messages sans avoir à intervenir sur le contenu des cartes.With such a system, poster handling operations are eliminated. In addition, when the memory card serves as an access key, the advertiser can possibly change the content of his messages over time without having to intervene on the content of the cards.
