A TV broadcast program (second video information) or a TV broadcast program (third video information) obtained from an antenna cable via a built-in TV tuner is broadcast without sound. When a person approaches, the video information being broadcast is switched from a TV broadcast program to advertising information (first video information). On the other hand, on the large display devices 8 (1) and 8 (2) and the outdoor supervision 9 in the amusement store 2, predetermined advertisement information is constantly broadcast repeatedly.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of the video display terminal 6 (1). Since the video display terminals 6 (2) to 6 (m) and the video display terminals 7 (1) to 7 (n) other than the video display terminal 6 (1) have the same configuration, description thereof will be omitted.

  The video display terminal 6 (1) includes a control board 30 and a video input / output unit 50. The control board 30 includes a TV tuner 31 and a switching processing unit 32, and video information of a TV broadcast program that is constantly streamed from the video distribution server 3 to the second input terminal 32 b of the switching processing unit 32. (Second video information) is supplied via the LAN port 30a. Also, video information (third video information) of the TV broadcast program is supplied from the TV tuner 31 to the third input terminal 32 c of the switching processing unit 32. Further, advertisement information (first video information) stored in the memory 33 mounted on the control board 30 can be supplied to the first input terminal 32 a of the switching processing unit 32. The memory 33 comprises a hard disk, a semiconductor memory, a DVD disk, etc., and advertisement information is stored and held in the form of, for example, MPEG image data.

  The switching processing unit 32 alternatively selects information supplied to the first to third input terminals 32a to 32c and outputs the information from the output terminal 32d. The output information is supplied to the decoding processing unit 34, where a predetermined decoding process is performed. For example, MPEG decoding processing is performed. The decoded information after the decoding process is supplied to the moving image signal generation unit 35, where an image signal and an audio signal are generated from the decoded information. These signals are output via the output port 36 and supplied to the video input / output unit 50.

  A fragrance emitter 37 is mounted on the control board 30, and the fragrance discharger 37 mounted on the control board 30 and each of the above-described parts 31 to 35 are mainly configured by a CPU mounted on the control board 30. The drive is controlled by the controller 38. An output signal of the infrared reflection sensor 39 that functions as a human sensor is supplied to the control unit 38 via the input port 40. Further, an output signal of a body temperature sensor 41 (biological information sensor) for detecting a human body temperature is supplied via the input port 42. Further, an output signal of the urine analyzer 43 (biological information sensor) that analyzes the urinary component to determine the health condition is supplied via the input port 44. The control unit 38 drives and controls each unit based on these input signals according to a control program stored in the ROM.

  The video input / output unit 50 includes a display 51 and an audio output unit 52. In addition, an imaging unit 53 such as a camera is provided as an information input unit. Further, the display screen 54 of the display device 51 may be provided with a touch panel function so that operation input can be performed.

  Here, the infrared reflection sensor 39 is for detecting whether or not a person has entered a region within a certain distance with respect to each toilet of the toilet 4, and is located in the vicinity of each toilet or a video display terminal. 6 (1). In the switching processing unit 32 of the video display terminal 6 (1), the third input end 32c is held in a state of being connected to the output end 32d. Alternatively, the second input end 32b is held connected to the output end 32d. Therefore, a TV broadcast program (third video information) supplied from the antenna cable 45 via the TV tuner 31 or a TV broadcast program (second video information) streamed from the video distribution server 3 is normally used. Only the video of the TV broadcast program is displayed on the display screen 54 of the display 51 supplied to the video input / output unit 50.

  When a person is detected by the infrared reflection sensor 39, the control unit 38 controls the switching processing unit 32 to disconnect the third or second input end 32c or 32b and the output end 32d from the first input end 32a. Is connected to the output terminal 32d, and the advertising information (first video information) stored in the memory 33 is output via the switching processing unit 32, the decoding processing unit 34, and the moving image signal generating unit 35, and the image and sound are output. The signal is supplied to the video input / output unit 50. As a result, in the video input / output unit 50, the video of the advertisement information is displayed on the display screen 54, and the audio is output from the audio output unit 52.

  The body temperature sensor 41 measures the thermography of a person approaching the toilet, based on this, determines the person's excitement state in multiple stages, and outputs the determination result. For example, a two-stage discrimination is performed when the body temperature is low and when the body temperature is high, and the discrimination result is output. When it is determined that the body temperature is low, the control unit 38 releases a scent having an effect of raising the mood from the fragrance releaser 37, and when it is determined that the body temperature is high, the control unit 38 has an effect of calming the mood. A certain scent is discharged from the fragrance emitter 37.

  The urination tester 43 is attached to, for example, a drain pipe of each toilet, and detects one or a plurality of urination components and determines a health condition based on the detection. For example, when sugar is detected from urination, the control unit 38 stores a fixed message stored in the memory 33 in advance, for example, a message such as “We recommend that you go to a health checkup” ( The fourth information) is displayed on the display screen 54 together with the advertisement information.

  On the other hand, a human face image captured by the imaging unit 53 of the video input / output unit 50 is supplied from the video display terminal 6 (1) to the video distribution server 3 via the LAN cable 11. In the video distribution server 3, for example, suspicious person image information or the like is stored and held, and the security of the amusement store can be improved by comparing the received captured image with these. Further, biometric information such as the face color may be read based on the face image, and based on this, the type of scent emitted from the fragrance emitter 37 may be switched and controlled.

  Further, when the display screen 54 of the display 51 has a touch panel function, a plurality of types of advertisement information can be output and displayed by touch panel input supplied to the control unit 38 via the input port 46. It is possible to switch and display the advertisement information being displayed. For example, a plurality of information is prepared as advertisement information (first video information), a menu screen is displayed first, and “game table information”, “development information”, “event information”, etc. displayed there are displayed. A menu can be selected and configured to display the selected information.

(Video switching output operation of video display terminal)
FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart showing the video switching operation of the video display terminal 6 (1) in the information display system 1 of the present example. The operation of the video display terminal 6 (1) will be described below with reference to this figure. First, in the video display terminal 6 (1), a general TV broadcast program (third video information) supplied via the TV tuner 31 or streaming from the video distribution server 3 side via the LAN cable 11 is always performed. A distributed general TV broadcast program (second video information) is broadcast on the display screen 54 of the display 51. The broadcast form is a first output form in which only video is output without outputting sound (step ST1).

  In this broadcast state, when a player enters the toilet 4 and stands in front of the toilet, it is detected by the infrared reflection sensor 39 that a person has stood in front of the toilet (step ST2). The detection area of each infrared reflection sensor 39 is set so as not to overlap with the detection area of the infrared reflection sensor installed in the adjacent toilet. When a person stands on the toilet bowl, the control unit 38 performs a timer count, and switches the video information being broadcast after a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds to 10 seconds has elapsed (steps ST3 and ST4). As a result, on the display screen 54 of the display device 51, the advertisement information (first video information) distributed in advance from the video distribution server 3 side and stored in the memory 33 is displayed on the display screen 54. Audio is output from the audio output unit 52 (step ST5). The advertisement information is for a short time, for example, within 5 minutes, and is repeatedly broadcast.

  Simultaneously with the display of the advertisement information, the body temperature of the person standing in front of the toilet bowl is measured by the body temperature sensor 41, and the scent is released from the fragrance releaser 37 for a predetermined time according to the measurement result (step ST6). For example, when the measured body temperature is lower than a preset value, a scent having an effect of raising the mood is released from the fragrance emitter 37 for a certain period of time. When the body temperature is high, a scent having an effect of calming is released from the fragrance discharger 37 for a certain period of time.

  Here, one of a plurality of types of advertisement information may be selected and output according to the measurement result of the body temperature sensor 41. For example, first, predetermined advertisement information may be output and then switched to the advertisement information selected based on the measurement result.

  Further, the urination component is examined by the urination tester 43, and a message about the health condition (fourth information) is displayed on the display screen 54 based on the specific component (step ST7). For example, when sugar is detected from urination, the control unit 38 is a standard message stored in the memory 33 in advance, for example, “It is recommended to go to a health check.” “It is tired. And the like are displayed on the display screen 54 together with the advertisement information.

  When a person leaves the toilet, this is detected by the infrared reflection sensor 39 (step ST8). In this case, the control unit 38 immediately switches the video that is being broadcast (step ST9), and the display screen 54 of the display 51 returns to the TV program broadcast screen again.

  The advertisement information stored and held in the memory 33 of the video display terminal 6 (1) can be distributed in advance from the video distribution server 3 side. Further, the advertisement information can be updated from the video distribution server 3 side. For example, the update process can be performed simultaneously with streaming.

(Example of advertisement information to be broadcast)
In the above example, when a person stands in front of the toilet bowl, predetermined advertisement information is output as the first video information. As advertising information in an amusement store, the following information can be mentioned, for example.

(1) Amusement store event information Information on replacement of new models (gaming machines) (“Days with 3 ...”, “Ladies Day”, “Time Service”, etc.)
Pachislot machine event information ("5, 6 high setting festival ...""Akanagi...""Okai Festival ...", etc.)
Information on prize events ("Hokkaido Crab Festival ..." etc.)
In-store flyer information (such as “day flyers” and “mini flyers”)
(2) Basic specifications of gaming machines and explanation of gaming methods (gaming machine promotion)
(3) Jackpot information, appearance information
(4) Member service information
(5) Information on holidays and business hours
(6) Corporate information and information on other stores (chain stores, etc.)
(7) Job guidance
(8) Advertising in amusement stores Gaming machine information (installed gaming machines and their layout)
Item information related to amusement stores (related restaurant information, information on branded products, etc.)

  Next, examples of the second video information and the third video information include general TV broadcast, BS (analog, digital) broadcast, CS broadcast, and cable TV broadcast. In addition to this, recorded videos of sports (baseball, soccer, golf, Olympic games, etc.) and general video content (sea, mountains, space, etc.) may be broadcast.

(Information output format)
In the above example, normally only the video is displayed on the display screen 54 of the display 51. That is, the first output form that can be recognized visually is output. Further, when a person stands on the toilet bowl, the advertisement information is output in a second output form that can be recognized by vision, hearing, and smell.

  As a 2nd output form, it can also be set as the 2nd output form which can be recognized by vision, hearing, and touch. For example, an image and sound may be output while sensing vibration using a vibration generating unit such as a vibration motor.

(System configuration example)
In the above example, the video distribution server 3 and each of the video display terminals 6 (1) to 6 (m) and 7 (1) to 7 (n) are connected by the LAN cable 11, and each video display terminal 6 (1 ) To 6 (m) and 7 (1) to 7 (n) have a memory 33 for storing and holding advertisement information. Therefore, advertisement information can be output on demand on each of the video display terminals 6 (1) -6 (m) and 7 (1) -7 (n). The same or different advertisement information can be individually registered in each video display terminal 6 (1) -6 (m), 7 (1) -7 (n).

  Here, the advertisement information may not be stored in each of the video display terminals 6 (1) to 6 (m) and 7 (1) to 7 (n). For example, a memory for storing advertisement information can be omitted from each video display terminal. In this case, the video distribution server 3 must hold the first video information to be distributed to each video display terminal, and the first video information is distributed in response to a request from each video display terminal. The

  On the other hand, instead of the LAN method, the first video information may be distributed from the video distribution server 3 to each video display terminal by a frequency division multiplexing method. In this case, the video distribution server and each video display terminal are connected via a coaxial cable, and usually a general broadcast program supplied from a TV tuner mounted on the side of each video display terminal is broadcast. Also in this case, either a configuration in which a memory for holding the first video information is mounted on each video display terminal side or a configuration in which such a memory is omitted can be employed. In order to support on-demand, it is desirable that each video display terminal has a memory.

(Other embodiments)
In the above example, the present invention is applied to provide information on a game store. The video display system of the present invention can also be adopted in places other than game stores. For example, it can be used as a self-order system such as an izakaya, family restaurant chain, and sushi carrot. It can also be used for a bullet train, a display system installed on an aircraft seat, an airport lobby, and a waiting room display system of each facility. Furthermore, it can also be used as an advertising method for sales promotion of a new perfume using an aroma device, for example.

  When advertising in a facility or the like, the number of times of output of the first video information by the video display terminal according to the present invention may be counted, and the number of times of output may be totaled for each predetermined period. In this way, for example, an information transmission fee can be calculated and charged to the advertisement requester based on the counting result. Further, based on the counting result, it can be determined whether or not the installation location of the video display terminal is a location suitable for transmitting information where many people gather.

  Furthermore, a fortune telling function can be added to the information display system of the present invention. In the case of men who use toilets such as amusement stores, the usage time is, for example, about 10 to 15 seconds. In order to effectively provide advertising information to toilet users, It is necessary to give the opportunity to see advertisements. For this purpose, it is one effective method to display advertisements effectively through fortune-telling.

  For example, when a fortune telling function is added to the information display system 1 described above, the touch screen function is provided on the display screen 54 of the video input / output unit 50 of the video display terminal 6 (1) so that a person can use the toilet 4 A fortune-telling button is displayed on the display screen 54 that is switched to when approaching.
