DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention can provide a screen system that can respond immediately to consumers,
A quick-response screen that can immediately transmit new advertisements or data to local screens, further communicate with consumers, and accumulate the number of people who saw and responded to the screen. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional advertising screens have a very low advertising efficiency, and when designing a single screen, it is necessary to perform steps such as editing, printing, transporting, mounting, and changing the contents of the screen. It is necessary to go to each place and perform the replacement work. In addition, most of the generally used screens are of a static type, and they advertise articles by, for example, posters. However, in such a method, since there is no connection between the manufacturer and the customer, it is not possible to know information such as how many people saw the article or showed interest,
We cannot respond to questions about goods. In addition, most of the current screens are not of the dynamic type, and most of the large screens or LED advertising boards provided in towns are merely for displaying the contents. Also,
The current screen only edits in advance and provides the viewer with the contents of the image, and is completely unresponsive when a person passes in front of the screen. Most importantly, if the viewer of the screen is interested in the content, the current screen does not immediately respond to consumer questions or orders.

[0003]

As described above, the conventional advertisement screen and the conventional advertisement method have the following problems. <a> Basically, one advertisement is performed on one screen, so changing the contents of the screen requires complicated exchange work, and the effect of the advertisement cannot be achieved immediately. <B> A static screen, such as a poster, is a one-sided display means that simply displays the content. There is no interaction with the person watching the screen, and how many people have seen it. It is not possible to know the customer's reaction, such as whether they showed interest. Also, naturally, the screen is unresponsive to the viewer (customer), and it is impossible to respond to a question or the like on the article displayed on the screen. <C> The most important of the above issues is that if a person who views the screen shows interest in the content, the current screen cannot immediately respond to consumer questions and orders, Miss a chance.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems and can provide a screen system capable of promptly responding to consumers, and can immediately transmit new advertisements or data to screens in various places. Communication with the person, and the number of people who saw the screen and the number of people who responded can be accumulated. The present invention measures the movement of an object in front of the screen using a digital camera or other measuring member on the screen, and the object is within a measurement effective area in front of the screen, and is inactive for a certain period of time.

anual) and issue a command. Thereby, advertisement, information or selective communication is performed. When it is desired to further install a credit card device in the above configuration, by transmitting an image of the card user to the control center using a photographing camera, the security when using the card can be improved. Most of the screens are located in high traffic areas (for example, in supermarkets), each of which is connected to a host server by a signal line. Thus, while the customer information is centralized on the host server, the information can be completely or partially transmitted to the screen and downloaded. Naturally, an identification number may be provided on each screen, and the identification number may be selected to download and program the selected screen. It is not necessary to use a digital camera for the measuring method, and a plurality of optical, thermal, contact, or other sensors can achieve the same purpose.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An example of a method for displaying a responsive screen according to the present invention will be described below with reference to a flowchart.

[A] In a block (51), background data of a pixel and parameter values related thereto are set in a computer.

[B] In block (52), the main screen is displayed on the screen to which the computer is connected.

[C] In the block (53), when the pixel moving synchronously with the measured image of the object reaches the set parameter value (for example, when the total number of image pixels is larger than the set value and when the pixel moves). When the speed is lower than the set value), the largest pixel, the slowest pixel, and the pixel closest to the center of the screen among the image pixels are selected, and the object is tracked.

[D] Block (54) changes the screen displayed on the screen according to the movement of the object. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a corresponding video (33) that moves synchronously with the object is displayed. Or, as shown in FIG.
By the block (55), a multilayer screen (35) of a plurality of layers having different depths (the relative moving speeds of the images of the respective layers are different as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12) is formed. A three-dimensional vision is generated by moving in synchronization with. For example, when the person (31) stands at the center position in front of the screen shown in FIG. 9 and moves to the left as shown in FIG. 11, the screen becomes as shown in FIG. 10, and the person (31) moves to the right. Fig. 1
As shown in FIG. Another embodiment of the corresponding video is
This is the same as the video of the synchronous movement shown in FIG. 3 or FIG.

[E] In block (56), when the object is stopped for a certain period of time, the pattern exceeds the set value, the movement of the pattern is slower than the set value, and most of the pattern is within the set center range section. If so, display the signal pattern on the screen. For example, the signal pattern (34) shown in FIG. 5 or the menu image shown in FIGS. The contents of the menu image are as follows: (a) If it is desired to know more detailed contents, stop for a certain period of time. (B) If the user wants to select YES, the limb (for example, body, head, arm, etc.) is moved up and down. (C) When selecting NO, the limb is moved right and left. (D) If you want to select A, move to the left. (E) To select B, move to the right, and so on.

In the [F] block (57), when measuring a small motion of a part of the object that has been stopped for a certain period of time, a menu is selected and “movement tendency of pixels corresponding to the object image” or “object image The computer makes the selection by issuing a command using "moving the geometric center of the corresponding pixel" or "another suitable method".

In the [G] block (58), when the object to be measured has left the measurement section, the above steps are immediately terminated, and the operation returns to the [B] step. Is continuously measured, and when the object exceeds the set time, the background parameter is set again and the main screen is continuously displayed. This prevents abnormal exceptional behavior when an object such as a trash can is left in front of the screen.
