SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for transmitting advertisements and information at the time of use.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an image and / or a video image at a position which can be easily recognized at the time of stool use.
Blinks in conjunction with sensors that detect where a person is based on radio waves, magnetic waves, pressure, temperature, etc. When using the stool, the optic nerves are calm and they remember what they see unexpectedly. The required time is not so long, but it is impossible to move, so if a video or image is displayed in front of you, your eyes will naturally be paid attention and the information transmission effect is large. In the present invention, the main purpose is to install an advertising device near the urinal for men's urinals. However, if a sensor that can confirm the location of a person using the toilet for urinals is installed, the advertising device can be installed similarly. In short, the advertising device is operated in electrical connection with a sensor that can grasp the start and end times of the stool with some margin.

In addition, a speaker is provided at a position where the user can easily listen to the music when using the device, and music and / or music is associated with the sensor.
Or make a sound. Use of a speaker having strong directivity can reduce the influence on other parts. Further, if used in combination with the above-mentioned images and / or videos, the advertising effect is large.

[0006] The image and / or video is illuminated or projected. The illumination method is to provide a product or commercial screen drawn on a transparent body on the front of the dark box of the advertising device and irradiate light rays from behind it, and the projection method is to place a translucent screen on the front of the device. A film on which an image is printed and a lens are placed between the light source and projected to display an image. Both types of light sources are turned on and off in relation to the sensor.

Further, images and / or videos are displayed as moving images. As the pictures and characters move, the degree of attention increases. A movie that uses afterimages of the eyes may be used, but the device is too complicated, so a moving image with a very small number of frames is used, or a transparent film with pictures or characters such as a lantern is rotated.

[0008] The above image and / or video is converted to a cathode ray tube (C
(RT) and liquid crystal (LC) using electronic means. In the case of a liquid crystal, if the light source illuminated from the back is made bright, a liquid crystal that is easily visible can be obtained. Since still images and moving images can be easily obtained, the apparatus can be simplified. In addition, the present invention includes receiving a TV broadcast by wire or wireless to a place or a building or an area where a large number of toilets are installed, for a topic or an event that is particularly interesting in a region. It is. In addition, Internet information is provided. In these cases, only a monitor may be installed without installing a receiver or a personal computer.

[0009] The contents of the image and / or video are selected from at least one of advertisements for products and events, educational advertisements, advertisements related to religion propagation, advertisements for sporting events, and courses in progress. It can also display public moral content and unique knowledge in a concise manner.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings based on embodiments.

Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 shows a publicity device (hereinafter referred to as a publicity device) 1 provided near a men's urinal of the present invention, which is juxtaposed with a sensor 2 for detecting the location of a person.
The two devices are installed integrally or separately above the urinal, and the water discharge and stop signals are electrically connected so that the advertising device can be started and stopped. The sensor 2 is located generally above the toilet and occupies a position where the line of sight of a person is easily directed. When the sensor is located in a place where the line of sight is difficult to reach, the advertising device 1 is placed alone at a location easily visible above the toilet and mounted on a wall surface. The advertising device 1 includes a frame 3 and a drawer 4
FIG. 2 (a) shows the internal structure. Drawer 4
Has a housing 5 having a function as a dark box and a lamp chamber 6 therein, and three surfaces surrounding the lamp 7 are made to reflect light and are finished with paint or plating. On the other surface, that is, on the front surface, a ground glass 8 for scattering light and a transparent protective plate 9 are attached to the housing 5 with a predetermined gap. The film 10 shown in FIG. In this film, advertisements, advertising articles, missionary texts, event information, articles on public morals, educational information, topics and other information that is likely to remain in human memory are displayed by printing or images applied to the film. I have. In the above configuration, when a person stands in front of the toilet for small use, the sensor is activated and the lamp 7 is turned on in response to the signal. If you leave the toilet, the sensor will stop working and the lamp will be turned off in response to the signal. That is, a person sees a printed matter or an image only while adding a small work. A sponsor who wants to provide information on the film shall use the apparatus of the present invention for a fixed period of time and pay the cost. Film 1
Numeral 0 is a thick material, such as paper, provided with a frame 11 so as to be easily replaced. Since the position of the film is located on the front surface of the housing 5, in this case, the printed matter and the image can be directly viewed by a person. A projector may be configured by placing a film and a lens between them. Reference numeral 12 denotes a battery which is used when the battery is installed in a place where external power cannot be obtained, and is used for lighting a lamp. This drawer 4
Attach a locking device to prevent anyone other than the administrator from pulling out.

FIG. 2C shows an example in which a light emitting sheet 13 is used to illuminate the film 10. The light emitting sheet 13 is mounted on one side surface of the substrate 14 and the film 10 is adhered to the upper surface thereof or sandwiched by using the transparent protective plate 9 to integrally form a light emitting display 15. The light-emitting display is placed in the frame 3 or the substrate 14 is directly attached to the wall. As the light emitting sheet, an electroluminescent type or a light emitting diode type is used. Since the light emitting sheet is used as a light source, a lamp is not required, and the advertising device 1 having a small thickness can be obtained. Reference numeral 16 denotes a cover for fixing the protection plate 9 to the substrate 14.

[0012]

Embodiment 2 FIG. 3 shows an example in which a transparent protective plate 9 is provided on the front surface of a housing 5 and a liquid crystal display panel (LCD) 17 is provided on the rear surface thereof. The liquid crystal may be either a reflection type or a transmission type, but when an external power source is available, the transmission type is brighter and more suitable for providing advertisements and information. The lamp 7 is used for a transmission type. Reference numeral 18 denotes a control unit in which a liquid crystal driving circuit and a chip in which advertisements, information, and the like are recorded are incorporated, and when the contract of the sponsor is changed, the chip is replaced to change the display content. A cathode ray tube (CRT) display may be used instead of the liquid crystal. When an electronic display means such as an LC or CRT is used, it is also possible to immediately report a topic or an event of particular interest in the area through a computer. Only a monitor needs to be installed near the toilet.

[0013]

[Embodiment 3] FIG. 4 shows an example of a means for displaying an image as a moving image. A rotatable display plate 19 which is pivotally supported has films 10a, 10b... The image can be viewed as a moving image by rotating it. The lamp 7 blinks in synchronization with the movement of the film, or intermittently emits a light source using a shutter (not shown). Since the number of frames is limited, it cannot be a moving image with smooth movement, but if there is movement in the image, it is easy to attract human attention. In the case of a liquid crystal display, a color display increases the number of pixels and makes the apparatus itself expensive, but when a film is used, the image itself is clear.

The example of the advertising apparatus described above is mainly installed near the urinal for men, and an example is shown in FIG. Since the sensor 2 for detecting the location of a person aims to discharge water for washing efficiently, when the person stands in front of the urinal 20, the discharge of water starts. The illumination of the advertising device 1 is turned on in conjunction with the water discharge signal, and the content of the advertisement is visually recognized. Since the advertising device is activated suddenly, it is possible to attract human attention. When the user leaves the place, the water discharge is stopped after a while, so that the lighting of the advertising device 1 is also stopped.

[0015]

Fourth Embodiment FIG. 5 shows an arrangement of the advertising device 1 when a human or a toilet bowl 21 is used by a person as an example. The sensor 2a for detecting the location of a person by the light beam is not particularly linked to the water discharge function for washing. Therefore, when the user sits on the toilet, the advertising device 1 is turned on and the advertising content can be visually recognized. Alternatively, the light may be turned on a little while after sitting. The effect is greater when people's feelings calm down. Further, a speaker 22 is provided at a position close to a person to explain an advertisement or B.I. G. FIG. If you play M, it tends to remain in the impression. This speaker can also be installed near the urinals for men. The configuration of the sensor uses a change in a physical quantity or a chemical quantity such as a light beam, a radio wave, a magnetic wave, a pressure, and a temperature, and an appropriate one is appropriately used. In the case of a toilet bowl, a pressure sensor or a temperature sensor can be installed on the toilet seat to detect the location of a person.

[0016]

As described above, the advertising device according to the present invention has the effect of attracting audio-visual senses during empty time in a stool and remains strongly in the impression of a person. It has a special effect. Furthermore, since it is operated in association with a sensing device for detecting the location of a person, it is displayed only when necessary, so that it consumes very little energy and is economical. The contents of the advertisement can be easily changed, and it is possible to respond to requests from many sponsors.
