Description

Fire hydrant signs are always attached to main roads such as national highways and main roads in densely populated areas in each municipality. In other words, a fire hydrant with water supply facilities installed at almost constant distances between 500 m and 1,500 m, and a fire hydrant sign that indicates the position, although it varies depending on the main street or slightly depending on the density of the house. Are in place. By installing special functions such as IT-related equipment on the red fire hydrant signs constructed at regular intervals on these main roads, the fire hydrant signs have not only simple fire hydrant position display functions, but also display functions for various information. As a symbol zone of the city that takes advantage of these features that combine conventional landmark functions, including emergency functions, etc. The present invention relates to a fire hydrant sign equipped with a multi-purpose function as a display device with a bidirectional function for information familiar from a fire extinguisher to an information receiving / sending device, particularly in a downtown area.

Traditionally, public telephones have been installed in public buildings, most street corners, and main streets, and this has been very useful for emergency communications in the event of an emergency as well as for the convenience of the public. With the recent privatization of mobile phones and the recent rapid spread of mobile phones, the removal of deficient public telephones has begun, and the number of installed telephones is rapidly decreasing. In recent years, in Japan, due to an increase in the number of couples working together, it is becoming necessary for housewives to have detailed daily information in order to spend efficient living time such as shopping time. On the other hand, there is always a fire hydrant attached to the main road at regular intervals, and at the same time there is a fire hydrant sign as a landmark. By adding some IT function to the unique landmark red color, especially in case of emergency, especially emergency It can function as a quick and prompt communication function device at the time, or as a mini-landmark as a landmark at the time of gathering. Just telling the street address name and the fire hydrant standing on the street corner, you can know the approximate location, and the fire hydrant is always on the side of the high-convenient road, convenient as a meeting place in case of emergency, evacuate by car The fire hydrant signs set up on the main road ensure a convenient location for information transmission. However, the conventional fire hydrant sign is a plain display function to which red and a small billboard for generating maintenance costs are attached everywhere in the country. Also in the patent field, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-282597 is for preventing illegal parking in the vicinity of a fire hydrant, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-30965 is related to a method for informing the location of a fire hydrant. The present invention is different from these inventions in that the fire hydrant sign is a simple indication, the emergency evacuation information by the fire hydrant sign with a self-power generation function by the solar cell that is not affected by the power failure that frequently occurs at the time of disaster, disaster Providing technology related to super fire hydrant signs that change to information terminals in the town as an information receiving and transmitting base for the surrounding business community as well as for notifying and evacuating to the local residents, as well as for emergency display such as displaying information It is.

Currently, fire hydrants that play an active role in residential fires and automobile accidents in tunnels are standardized nationwide and attached to national roads and main roads in residential areas, with hydrant signs as a landmark. Fire hydrants play an active role as fire extinguishers at night, but for some reason lighting hydrants have not been seen yet. If a house fire is burnt down, a single fire can cause tens of millions of damage, and if it is burned down, the amount of damage can be in the billions. Even when a car fires on the road alone, it is a loss of 1 million yen, and if it reaches multiple cars, the economic loss is immeasurable due to traffic congestion. Fire hydrant signs are like a bath lid and are not necessary when needed, but they are not necessary if they are not needed, and they are truly sober for the purpose of fire extinguishing and water discharge. It is the power under the rim.

Certainly, fire hydrants are placed on many major roads where electrical wiring is inadequate. However, if equipped with energy-saving LED lighting equipped with solar cells, it is possible to provide sufficient nighttime lighting with the power of the solar cells, can also perform the nightlight function at night, and can quickly check the position of the fire hydrant This makes it possible to respond quickly to fires that compete for a moment. The fire hydrant is attached to the side of the main road, so it is very convenient in terms of location when a fire truck or the like acts in the event of a disaster, but the product is almost old-fashioned. By adding lighting and IT functions that also function as outdoor lights to this conventional fire hydrant sign, and raising the awareness of disaster prevention in the neighborhood associations for each attached location, emergency fire extinguishing functions can be provided to local residents even in the event of an emergency in each town. It becomes possible to demonstrate. Especially in the case of a fire, the response processing time is likely to expand the damage geometrically. Fortunately, fire hydrant signs are placed along the main road at intervals of 500m to 1,500m, as mentioned above, so that if the lights are on, the location can be confirmed quickly, and not only for the residents living in the vicinity, but also for firefighters wearing fire clothes. The work efficiency is also improved. In particular, with the various media display and voice enhancement functions that are the main items of this patent, it is possible to provide accurate evacuation guidance not only in evacuation but also in the event of an emergency from the government during a large-scale disaster. The fire hydrant sign still has a hanging advertising board for painting and other annual maintenance costs, but instead of the conventional advertising board, a scrollable media display that can be displayed wirelessly from a remote location. By adding a panel, a so-called television image display device or a mobile phone large display panel display device, it is possible to easily receive and transmit information from a remote control room or from a mobile phone. As a fire hydrant sign, the function of plus α is demonstrated, the quick announcement of quick disaster information and the public relations function of each administrative organization are fully utilized, and the advertising value is also improved if the user of the display panel is made a membership system or billing system Born and a great source of revenue from advertising. Fire hydrant signs placed at regular intervals in urban areas as well as in the city serve as a base for daily information reception and transmission.For example, if a fire hydrant sign is equipped with a so-called handyman call function device directly connected to a rental car shop or a bicycle, etc. In the information field, it becomes a functional fire hydrant sign that can immediately arrange the desired service, and in the information field, emergency disaster information potentially possessed by the fire hydrant sign, daily shopping information, sale information, time service information It is possible to send and receive familiar life information. If there is no fire hydrant, an information display terminal may be attached to a utility pole, a telephone line support, or a wall with good visibility of the building structure.

  Club activities such as cultural activities and sports become popular especially when the society and life become stable, but these are group actions based on local governments or various voluntary organizations, and naturally these voluntary organizations also have no members It does not hold. Therefore, if a fire hydrant sign is equipped with a recruitment display function or announcement display function for these various organizations or voluntary organizations, and a billing system based on the results of recruitment to such organizations is adopted for business organizations, advertising will depend on the application. Fire hydrant signs that can be earned in addition to the reality, and as a familiar information receiving and sending media device in everyday life in the downtown area, hydrant signs equipped with an information display function closely related to daily life are an information receiving and sending base from a simple fire mark In addition, it has become popular media as a public report on cultural activities, and provides a fire hydrant sign that has a function as a display device for information urbanization and cultural urbanization where the fire hydrant sign is more closely attached to daily life.

By replacing the fire hydrant sign with information transmission / reception function of the present invention with, for example, an existing fire hydrant sign, the fire hydrant sign attached to the side of the main road is changed from an information transmission / reception base, completely unrelated to the fire hydrant sign. It has become possible for not only young people, but also senior citizens, to easily obtain the latest information, and commuting people pay attention to when they leave or leave the office or receive and send information on the street. As a media channel, a national or regional network of information is fully possible, and the neighborhood of the town, the month or the day, especially around the fire hydrant sign, is the earliest media that can be quickly communicated to neighboring residents. Fresh and timely daily familiar information such as supermarkets are always scrolled, making it possible to obtain all the latest information easily.For example, concert information held in the vicinity of the area, seasonal travel information, guidance of various classrooms such as English conversation, wedding bridal information, information on museums and exhibitions, various sports clubs, karaoke and other various events, wife as a housewife Various information on a large screen that is different from a mobile phone, such as circle information, can be accurately communicated, and nearby shops can also use this terminal as a more familiar advertising medium, as well as a display device equipped with a fire hydrant sign By displaying graphics that can be recognized by mobile terminals such as barcodes and QR codes, it is possible not only for young people to download various types of information to mobile phones, but the fire hydrant sign itself is a profitable fire hydrant sign. It will change drastically, become an indispensable part of everyday life, and will be an information gathering base.

Information is a valuable business factor, especially in modern society. Careers and stakeholders in cultural circles and sports organizations, except for special cases, are always very expensive, such as recruiting members, recruiting students, recruiting members, Although advertising costs and labor are involved, fire hydrant signs will be able to fulfill the function of attracting customers and recruiting in the future. In particular, by equipping this fire hydrant sign with an information box that contains a large amount of the latest information, from a general service terminal to the general public of various organizations, circles, classrooms, clubs, and event guides to realize individuals This makes it possible to make detailed appeals in the town, making it easier to appeal to the general public, advertising and displaying at low costs compared to expenses such as newspaper advertisements and flyers. In addition to displaying the terminal of the information display device in a public facility such as a government office or a public hall, in addition to a fire hydrant sign, indoor or outdoor such as a convenience store, a column, a wall, etc., the publication function is further enhanced. Ordinary newspapers, radios, televisions, extras, etc. are said to require a minimum of 7 hours from obtaining information to reaching the public, but if you use the device of the present invention, it will become media from the moment you input and send information to a personal computer. Media with the same speed and convenience.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and its purpose is from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, which is a road administrator, to a fire hydrant sign having a valuable road occupancy permit that uses a certain area. Not only the size but also the existing fire hydrant sign size will not be enlarged, and by making the sign multifunctional, it will be possible to obtain familiar living information and the latest information for the local residents. From a simple fire hydrant sign, as a street light function, as a fire hydrant sign with a multi-function device, or by combining a full-scale information receiving and transmitting function at the street corner, as well as a landmark function, as an information box closely attached to the downtown or the town It can also be displayed immediately by sending input from the person in charge of display. The above idea transceiving function hydrant signs high promptness information than medium can be solved by the present invention having the following constitutions.

It is preferable to attach. Equipped with a self-power generation function using solar cells, equipped with a battery that can cope with power outages that occur frequently during disasters, equipped with a scrolling information box in the advertising panel, and equipped with a receiving and transmitting device inside, disaster information and local government Information, general news, neighborhood association information information column, various group event guidance / company advertisement column, convenient information, neighboring town guidance column, hotel vacant room information, advertisement column, etc. Enjoyment

If the latest special composite board with embedded LED lighting is used for the information display device of the fire hydrant sign, the whole is brightly displayed with low power. Since the entire post of the sign is already embedded in the road, the information display device may be retrofitted to the existing fire hydrant sign. Damage caused by mischief of customers or accidents on fire hydrant signs can be resolved with non-life insurance.

Regarding the scroll display of fire hydrant signs and the power supply for lighting etc., in recent urban areas, various wiring systems are equipped with underground wiring facilities due to road maintenance, but lighting facilities are relatively easy, but on roads without electrical wiring For night lighting, the construction of electrical wiring facilities is expensive, so LED lighting and special lighting with low power consumption may be employed, and solar cells and the like may be provided for scroll display and image display.

The current fire hydrant sign is just a terminal and a mark for extinguishing fires in the event of a disaster, but the use of fire hydrant signs as an IT makes it possible not only for disasters, but also for street lighting, as well as for receiving and sending information on lonely rural roads. As an information media device, emergency alerts and evacuation information can be sent and received all at once, especially in the event of a disaster, and it is also useful to people and housewives in town as a daily fresh information source, newspapers, radio, television, It is no longer a dream to serve as the fifth closest information organization in the city after the Internet.
