Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Spiegel mit innerhalb seiner reflektierenden Fläche vorgesehenem, nicht reflektierendem Teilbereich als Informationsgeber.The present invention relates to a mirror with a non-reflecting partial area provided within its reflecting surface as an information transmitter.

Die DE 299 16 732 U1 schildert als Stand der Technik einen Werbespiegel mit einer zumindest in einem Teilbereich halbdurchlässigen Spiegelschicht, bei dem erfindungsgemäß zumindest in dem als Werbe- oder Informationsfläche dienenden Teilbereich in Richtung Spiegelaußenseite-Spiegelrückseite auf die Spiegelschicht folgend eine Antireflektions-Schicht, eine aus einem lichtdurchlässigen Flachmaterial bestehende Werbeschicht sowie ein flach ausgebildeter Beleuchtungskörper vorgesehen sind. Dort bestehen grundsätzlich folgende Probleme: die Informationsübermittlung ist auf ein feststehendes Bild-Standbild beschränkt, das in Form eines einzulegenden Motivträgers -- beispielsweise eines Dias -- hinterleuchtet und somit dem Betrachter sichtbar gemacht wird; das Austauschen der einzelnen Motivträger ist aufwendig, da zur Eingabe neuer zu übermittelnder Informationen bzw. Motivträger der Spiegel geöffnet und der bestehende Motivträger durch einen neuen manuell ersetzt werden muss.As state of the art, DE 299 16 732 U1 describes an advertising mirror with a mirror layer that is semitransparent at least in a partial area, in which, according to the invention, an antireflection layer, at least in the partial area serving as advertising or information area in the direction of the outside of the mirror and the rear of the mirror, following the mirror layer advertising layer consisting of a translucent flat material and a flat-shaped lighting fixture are provided. There are basically the following problems there: the transmission of information is limited to a fixed image still image, which is backlit in the form of a motif holder to be inserted - for example a slide - and thus made visible to the viewer; The exchange of the individual motif carriers is complex since the mirror has to be opened in order to enter new information or motif carriers to be transmitted and the existing motif carrier has to be replaced manually with a new one.

In Kenntnis dieses Standes der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, die erkannten Mängel zu beseitigen sowie einen Spiegel zu schaffen, der sich gegenüber vorbekannten Werbespiegeln in der Art und Variationsmöglichkeit der zu übermittelnden bildlichen Informationen unterscheidet sowie ein einfaches Handhaben bei der Eingabe und dem Wechseln der Informationen bzw. Motivträger ermöglicht.Knowing this prior art, the invention has for its object to remedy the identified shortcomings and to create a mirror that differs from previously known advertising mirrors in the type and variation of the visual information to be transmitted, as well as simple handling when entering and changing which enables information or motif carriers.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt die Lehre des unabhängigen Anspruches; die Unteransprüche erfassen günstige Weiterbildungen. Zudem fallen in den Rahmen der Erfindung alle Kombinationen aus zumindest zwei der in der Beschreibung, der Zeichnung und/oder den Ansprüchen offenbarten Merkmale.The teaching of the independent claim leads to the solution of this task; the subclaims cover favorable further training. In addition, all combinations of at least two of the features disclosed in the description, the drawing and / or the claims fall within the scope of the invention.

Erfindungsgemäß ist der als Informationsgeber ausgestaltete Teilbereich der Spiegelfläche glasklar gestaltet, also völlig blickdurchlässig, sowie mit einem Display hinterlegt, einem Bildsichtgerät zur optisch wirksamen Ausstellung von Objekten. Insbesondere soll dieses Display ein Laufbild präsentieren können. Auch zwei oder mehr derartige Teilbereiche können in der Spiegelfläche vorgesehen werden.According to the invention, the portion of the mirror surface which is designed as an information transmitter is designed to be crystal clear, that is to say completely transparent to the eye, and is provided with a display, an image viewing device for optically effective display of objects. In particular, this display should be able to present a moving picture. Two or more such partial areas can also be provided in the mirror surface.

Die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte halbdurchlassige Spiegelschicht wird also dadurch weitergebildet, dass innerhalb der eigentlichen Spiegelfläche in jenem Teilbereich nunmehr ein laufendes Bild -- bevorzugt ein Farbbild -- erzeugt wird.The semitransparent mirror layer known from the prior art is thus further developed in that a running image - preferably a color image - is now generated within the actual mirror surface in that sub-area.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung wird zur Informationsübermittlung dank jenes Farbdisplays ein laufendes Farbbild eingesetzt. Um die Dicke des Spiegels möglichst gering zu halten, soll erfindungsgemäß ein Flachbilddisplay bzw. -bildschirm eingesetzt werden. Auch hat es sich als günstig erwiesen, ein Display der Technologien TFT oder Plasma zu verwenden, aber auch andere Technologien zur Motivdarstellung, wie z. B. Hologramme zur dreidimensionalen Bilddarstellung. Insbesondere kann auch ein Display der Touchscreen-Technologie zur Anwendung kommen, welches den Abruf verschiedener Funktionen und Programmabläufe am Display ermöglicht und zudem die Darstellung verschiedener Bildarten, wie etwa Fernsehbild, Computerbild und -animation, Internetoberfläche sowie multimediale Oberfläche, in der dafür vorgesehenen Informationsfläche bzw. dem Display.In the context of the invention, a current color image is used for the transmission of information thanks to that color display. In order to keep the thickness of the mirror as small as possible, a flat screen display or screen should be used according to the invention. It has also proven to be advantageous to use a display using TFT or plasma technologies, but also other technologies for displaying motifs, such as. B. holograms for three-dimensional image display. In particular, a display of touchscreen technology can also be used, which enables various functions and program sequences to be called up on the display and also the display of various types of images, such as television image, computer image and animation, internet interface and multimedia interface, in the information area or the display.

Der Erfinder schlägt auch die Übermittlung von Tonelementen vor; durch den Einbau von mindestens einem -- mit dem Display oder einem anderen Peripheriegerät zum Ansteuern des Diplays, wie z. B. einem PC, Videorecoder, DVD-Player bevorzugt verbundenen -- Lautsprecher wird die Übermittlung von Tonelementen, wie etwa Musik, Sprachvertonung od.dgl. möglich. Die Tonelemente können sowohl allein als auch -- bevorzugt -- in Verbindung mit der Bildinformation wiedergegeben werden.The inventor also suggests the transmission of sound elements; by installing at least one - with the display or another peripheral device to control the display, such as B. a PC, video recorder, DVD player preferably connected - speakers, the transmission of sound elements such as music, voice recording or the like. possible. The sound elements can be reproduced both alone and - preferably - in connection with the image information.

Der einfacheren Handhabung halber soll die Form der Informationseinspeisung erheblich erleichtert sowie gewährleistet werden, dass der Spiegel weder geöffnet werden muss, noch eine Person räumlich anwesend sein muss, um Daten bzw. neue Motive in den Informationsspiegel einzugeben. Dazu werden das eingebaute Display und die Lautsprecher von einem geeigneten Peripheriegerät -- wiederum einem Computer, Videorecorder, DVD-Player, CD-Player od. dgl. -- mit den darzustellenden Informationen versorgt. Zum Wechsel der zu übermittelnden Informationen wird lediglich das eingelegte Wiedergabemedium gewechselt, also beispielsweise die Videokassette des Videorecorders.For the sake of easier handling, the form of the information feed should be considerably simplified and it should be ensured that the mirror does not have to be opened, nor does a person have to be present in order to enter data or new motifs into the information mirror. For this purpose, the built-in display and the loudspeakers are supplied with the information to be displayed by a suitable peripheral device - again a computer, video recorder, DVD player, CD player or the like. To change the information to be transmitted, only the inserted playback medium is changed, for example the video cassette of the video recorder.

In der Regel wird zur Ansteuerung des Displays und der Lautsprecher ein Computer eingesetzt, auf den von einem anderen Computer aus die darzustellenden Daten und Informationen per Datentransfer -- etwa ISDN-Datenübertragung oder anderer Übertragungsmöglichkeiten -- übertragen zu werden vermögen.As a rule, a computer is used to control the display and the loudspeakers, to which the data and information to be displayed can be transferred from another computer by data transfer, such as ISDN data transfer or other transfer options.

Dank vorstehender Maßgaben entfällt nunmehr beim Informations- und Motivwechsel das Öffnen des Spiegels, wodurch es möglich wird, den Spiegel an Orten fest zu installieren. Der Motivwechsel kann auch in Abwesenheit einer Bedienungsperson erfolgen.Thanks to the above provisions, there is no longer any need to open the mirror when changing information and motifs, which makes it possible to permanently install the mirror in places. The motif can also be changed in the absence of an operator.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung kann für den Spiegel bevorzugt bruchsicheres Glas zum Einsatz kommen, auch kann die Lautstärkeregelung für den/die Lautsprecher mittels einer Fernbedienung -- etwa eine Infrarotbedienung -- durchgeführt werden. Zudem hat es sich als günstig erwiesen ein Funkempfängermodul für die Bilddaten einzubauen bzw. die beschriebenen Lautsprecher außerhalb des Spiegels anzubringen und mit dem Display bzw. dem Eingabegerät zu verbinden.Within the scope of the invention, break-proof glass can preferably be used for the mirror, and the volume control for the loudspeaker (s) can also be carried out by means of a remote control, for example an infrared control. In addition, it has proven to be advantageous to install a radio receiver module for the image data or to mount the loudspeakers described outside the mirror and to connect them to the display or the input device.

Es entsteht so ein Kommunikationsspiegel variabler Größe mit sehr flachem Rahmenaufbau, bei dem das Wechseln bzw. das Austauschen der Informationen durch einen Datenträgerwechsel beim Eingabegerät problemlos möglich ist.The result is a communication mirror of variable size with a very flat frame structure, in which changing or exchanging the information is easily possible by changing the data carrier on the input device.
