  • the infrared interface 5 has an infrared transmitter 8 for wirelessly forwarding data to a chair 2 following in a line-up. Consequently, the infrared interface 5 preferably has an input side with the infrared receiver 6 and an output side with the infrared transmitter 8 on. Entrance and exit sides are preferably arranged opposite one another, i. directed backwards or forwards in a row line.
  • the infrared interface 5 preferably has forward and backward directions in each case at least one infrared transmitter 8 and an infrared receiver 6 for communicating with chairs 2 on both sides in a row line.
  • the infrared receiver 6 and the infrared transmitter 8 are preferably each designed as a combined infrared receiver / transmitter or transceiver.
  • two infrared receivers / transmitters are arranged as a composite next to each other, preferably transversely to the extension of the channel aperture 7, to set a radiation width. Consequently, a data exchange can take place in both directions through the channel diaphragm 7.
  • the infrared interface 5 is arranged on a lateral edge region of the chair 2 with reference to a row line R.
  • the infrared interface 5 is preferably positioned below a seat 11 of a chair 2 adjacent to a frame 12 of the chair 2.
  • the channel panel 7 then traverses the chair 2 below the seat surface 11.
  • the channel panel 7 is formed by a waveguide with preferably smooth inner surfaces.
  • the channel shutter 7 may be curved or have manifold sections, whereby the infrared radiation can be conducted along a selectable path.
  • the channel panel 7 can also form a portion of the frame 12 of a chair 2.
  • the channel panel 7 is preferably used with its two ends in recesses 13, 14 of housings 15, 16 which are fastened to the chair 2 and thus determine an extension region of the channel panel 7 as a conductor for aligning infrared radiation.
  • the one housing 15 forms a housing for the display device 1.
  • the control unit 4 in particular the microprocessor, forms an electronic chain link for a numbering process with increasing or decreasing number by determining the location number to be displayed by the display unit 3 and communicating the displayed location number with a neighboring chair 2 in a row line.
  • the control unit 4 operates in such a way that the displayed number is in each case increased or decreased by one with a neighboring chair 2 in a row line.
  • a battery 9 can be used.
  • a drawer 10 is provided.
  • the display unit 3 may have a liquid crystal display or other electronic segment or field display device as a display for digits.
  • a wear-resistant protective screen can be placed on the display unit 3 or a display. According to FIG. 1, for example, the location number 38 is displayed.
  • FIG. 2 now shows a device for numbering the seating positions of the individual seats 2 of a row of chairs 20 with a plurality of chairs 2 set up in a row, each with a display device 1 described above.
  • An input device 21 is provided which has an adjustable start value, here for example 15, and optionally communicating a numbering order with a first chair 2 in the chair row 20, whereby a numbering operation of the individual chairs 2 of the chair row by wirelessly transmitting a message from a chair 2 to the next chair 2 of the chair row 20 is triggered.
  • the message which is forwarded according to FIG. 2, for example, is the number increased by +1 each of a chair 2 to the next chair as ascending place numbering in a row of chairs up to a nth chair 2.
  • the first chair 2 receives that is, the location number 15 according to the default value of the input device 21.
  • the subsequent chairs are then consecutively numbered.
  • Each chair 2 can communicate with both adjacent chairs in the chair row by the display device 1 and the infrared interface 5. With the aid of the input device 21, a start value and the numbering sequence, here +1, are set.
  • the input device 21 now communicates with the first chair 2 in the chair row 20, optionally from the left or right, and thus initiates the numbering process.
  • the first chair takes over the starting value set in the input device 21 and sends the next location number 16 to the adjacent chair 2.
  • This process is repeated from chair to chair to the last chair 2 in the row 20, since the display devices 1, the n chairs 2 a Chair row 20 electronically concatenate through a data transfer run from the input device 21 to an nth chair 2 as the last chair of a row of chairs 20.
  • the data transmission takes place by infrared light pulses with a selectable wavelength.
  • the location numbers are therefore assigned automatically.
  • the space numbering can be done decreasing with -1. Further alternatively, the space numbering can be made according to a selectable numbering order, for example, +2, -2, +3, -3, etc.
  • the data transmission between the display devices 1 can be controlled via call and response signals. If the input device 21 sends a call signal to the display device 1 of the first chair 2 of a chair row 20, sends the addressed display device 1 of the next chair 2 of the chair row 20 a call answer back. On the basis of this call response, a data transfer can take place.
  • the input device now sends, for example, the command "Display number and forward by 1" or "Display number and forward by 1" to the addressed display device 1. Successful receiving of the command can be signaled by a confirmation response.
  • the display unit 3 now displays the desired chair number and starts the communication in the opposite direction to the operating unit in the direction of the next chair. This communication then runs just like the one just completed, but with the difference that a place number increased or decreased by 1 is passed in the command.
  • the whole continues from chair to chair 2, until finally the end of the row of chairs 20 is reached.
  • the last chair 2 no longer receives an answer to its call signal, and thereby the communication is terminated.
  • the display units 3 can enter a power-saving mode.
  • the chairs 2 set up in a row 20 may be mechanically coupled or placed free-standing next to each other.
