[First Embodiment of Video Display Fixture]
Hereinafter, the first embodiment of the image display device fixing device of the present invention will be shown with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the image display device fixing device 1 has an aspect ratio of a fixed frame 2 for fixing the image display device 80, a fixing mechanism 10 for fixing the fixed frame 2 to the beverage container 100, and an image 82 of the image display device 80. It is roughly composed of an image aspect ratio control unit 20 for changing the image aspect ratio.
The fixed frame 2 is a frame for fixing the image display device 80, and the shape and material of the frame may be used as long as the image display device 80 can be fixed. Examples of the material of the fixed frame 2 include glass, acrylic, rust-preventive metal, wood, and resin. In the examples of FIGS. 1A and 1B, a U-shaped locking metal fitting 3 is used to fix the image display device 80 to the fixed frame 2, but instead of the locking metal fitting 3. A clamp mechanism, a suction cup, or the like may be used instead.
The fixing mechanism 10 is a fixing mechanism for fixing the fixing frame 2 (or the image display device fixing device 1) to the beverage container 100. In the examples of FIGS. 1A and 1B, an upper clamp mechanism 11 for sandwiching and fixing the upper opening 101 of the beverage container 100 is provided on the upper part of the fixing frame 2 as the fixing mechanism 10. Instead of the upper clamp mechanism 11, the fixing frame 2 may be fixed to the beverage container 100 by using a screw mechanism, a suction cup mechanism, a hook mechanism, a double-sided tape mechanism, or the like. In the example of FIG. 1B, the upper clamp mechanism uses the coaster portion 15 for arranging on the bottom surface of the beverage container 100, and the adjuster mechanism 16 for adjusting the distance between the coaster portion 15 and the upper clamp mechanism 11. The fixing strength of the beverage container 100 is strengthened by sandwiching the beverage container 100 between the 11 and the coaster portion 15 and constantly applying tension to fix the beverage container 100. The adjuster mechanism 16 can firmly fix the fixing frame 2 to the beverage container 100 having an arbitrary height. In FIG. 1B, a non-slip sheet 17 made of a material having viscoelasticity is closely arranged on the surface of the coaster portion 15 on the contact side of the beverage container 100 in order to further enhance the fixing strength. As the material of the anti-slip sheet 17, rubber, cork, or the like can be considered.
The image aspect ratio control unit 20 is provided to prevent the image 82 of the image display device 80 from being enlarged and distorted only in the horizontal direction by passing through the cylindrical beverage L inside the beverage container 100. ing. In the examples of FIGS. 1A and 1B, an optical lens 21 is used as the image aspect ratio control unit 20. The lens 21 is processed so as to magnify the image only in the vertical direction (or the vertical direction), and the image 82 is magnified only in the vertical direction as shown in the image 83 of FIG. 1 (a) by passing through the lens 21. .. The image 82 is prevented from being enlarged and distorted only in the horizontal direction (or the lateral direction) by passing through the beverage L via the lens 21 (that is, an image enlarged in the vertical direction using the lens 21). By generating 83, the aspect ratio of the image 82 and the image 84 transmitted through the beverage container 100 are the same). As the material of the lens 21, transparent glass, acrylic or the like can be considered. The lens 21 is arranged between the image display device 80 and the beverage container 100. As a method for realizing the image aspect ratio control unit 20, not only an analog method using an optical lens as shown in the lens 21 of FIG. 1A but also a digital method applying video squeeze compression software can be considered. .. Details will be described in another embodiment described later.
Normally, the image display device 80 fixes the image display surface 81 of the image display device 80 toward the beverage container 100 to the fixed frame 2 as shown in FIG. 1B, but the touch panel or the like of the image display surface 81 is fixed. When operating, the image display device 80 may be turned upside down and fixed toward the side where the beverage container 100 is not provided.
The beverage container 100 for fixing the image display device fixing device 1 of the present invention is assumed to have the same bottomed tubular body as a normal beer mug. The beverage container 100 may have a cup shape without a handle 102 as shown in FIG. 1A.

In order to explain the details of the lens 21, first, the effect of the liquid in the beverage container and the lens in the horizontal direction due to the beverage will be described.
The shape of the beverage L inside the beverage container 100, which is a bottomed tubular body, is inevitably cylindrical or substantially cylindrical as shown in FIGS. 1A and 2. Since the cylindrical shape is not curved in the vertical direction, the radius of curvature RV in the vertical direction of the beverage L can be regarded as infinite as shown in FIG. On the other hand, since the beverage L is curved in a circular shape in the horizontal direction, the radius of curvature RH in the horizontal direction is always a finite value (in the case of a glass of a normal size, the radius of curvature RH of the beverage L is several [cm] to About 10 [cm]). That is, the radius of curvature RV in the vertical direction of the beverage L is much larger than the radius of curvature RH in the horizontal direction. It is known that the magnification of an optical lens increases as the radius of curvature of the lens decreases (for details, refer to the lens formula and specialized books in the field of optics), and the refractive index of water light is compared to that of air. Since it is large, the image 85 that has passed through only the beverage L inside the beverage container 100 is enlarged only in the horizontal direction and is greatly distorted as shown in FIG. 2 (in other words, the beverage L is only in the horizontal direction). The image is distorted because it operates as a magnifying lens).
The lens 21 used as the image aspect ratio control unit 20 is a lens in which the magnification of the image in the vertical direction is larger than the magnification of the image in the horizontal direction as shown in FIG. 3, that is, the radius of curvature RH in the horizontal direction is the radius of curvature RV in the vertical direction. It is a biconvex lens (or a plano-convex lens) that is larger than the lens. Therefore, by arranging the lens 21 between the image display device 80 and the beverage container 100, the horizontal lens effect of the beverage L can be offset. That is, if a lens 21 having an appropriate magnification of the image in the vertical direction is used, the user U can visually recognize the distortion-free image 84 magnified equally in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 1 (a) through the beverage. ..
One point to note regarding the lens 21 is that a normal lens having the same radius of curvature RH in the horizontal direction and radius RV in the vertical direction should not be used for the lens 21. This is because the aspect ratio of the image 82 cannot be changed with a normal lens having the same magnification in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, so that it is impossible in principle to cancel the distortion in the horizontal direction of the beverage L. Therefore, it is necessary to use a lens 21 having a radius of curvature RH in the horizontal direction larger than that of the radius of curvature RV in the vertical direction. In an extreme case, the lens 21 may use a lens that expands only in the vertical direction, that is, a lens having an infinite radius of curvature RH in the horizontal direction.

As can be seen from the principle of the magnifying glass, the larger the distance between the optical lens and the object, the larger the magnification of the object (for details, refer to the lens formula and specialized books in the field of optics). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the enlargement ratio of the image 84 in the vertical direction can be controlled by providing the image display device fixing device 1 with the lens distance adjusting mechanism 23 for adjusting the distance d between the image display device 80 and the lens 21. By using the lens distance adjusting mechanism 23, the user U can find the optimum distance d (that is, the magnification in the vertical direction) that cancels the distortion of the lens effect of the beverage L. Further, by using the lens distance adjusting mechanism 23, the user U can adjust the magnification of the lens 21 according to the diameter of the beverage container 100 and the type of the beverage L.
As shown in FIG. 5, a minus lens 22 that reduces or compresses the image in the horizontal direction may be arranged between the image display device 80 and the beverage L instead of the lens 21. The minus lens 22 is a plano-concave lens (or a biconcave lens) having a concave horizontal cross section with a horizontal image magnification of less than 1 time, and is used to offset the horizontal enlargement of the image by the beverage L.
The lens 21 and the minus lens 22 may be stacked not only one lens but also a plurality of lenses, but in that case, since the problem of focus adjustment becomes large, one lens for focus adjustment may be inserted separately.

[Second Embodiment of Video Display Fixture]
Hereinafter, the second embodiment of the image display device fixing device of the present invention will be shown with reference to the drawings, but the parts having the same configuration as the image display device fixing device 1 of the first embodiment will be the same. Reference numerals will be given and the description thereof will be omitted.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a squeeze image generator 200 is used as the image aspect ratio control unit 20 instead of the lens 21. The squeeze image generator 200 generates a squeeze image 201 compressed or reduced in the horizontal direction from the data of the image 82 of the image display device 80 by computer image processing as shown in FIG. 7 (that is, the squeeze image generator 200 of FIG. 6 is described above. It has exactly the same function as the minus lens 22 of FIG. 5 described in the first embodiment).
Since the squeeze image 201 is an image obtained by reducing the original image 82 in the horizontal direction in advance, it is possible to offset the enlargement of the image in the horizontal direction by the beverage L as shown in FIG.
The squeeze image generator 200 may be mounted inside a dedicated IC chip attached to the video display device fixing device 1, or may be mounted as software in an external server computer. Further, when the image display device 80 is a part of the portable communication device 300 as shown in FIG. 6, the squeeze image generator 200 may be mounted as computer software built in the portable communication device 300. ..
As the algorithm for generating the squeeze image 201 compressed in the horizontal direction, a known algorithm built into the LD playback device, the DVD playback device, or the photo retouching software may be used.
FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of a computer program when the image 82 is compressed in the horizontal direction (horizontal direction) to generate or output the squeeze image 201.
The data of the original image 82 that has not been compressed in the horizontal direction in STEP 1 is loaded from the memory of the computer of the image display device 80 or the portable communication device 300. In STEP 2, the image 82 is compressed in the horizontal direction (horizontal direction) to create the squeeze image 201. Then, in STEP 3, the squeeze image 201 is output to the image display device 80 or the portable communication device 300.
The computer program of the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 may be stored in a known storage medium such as a flash memory, a DRAM, a magnetic storage medium, or an optical storage medium. Further, it may be installed (saved) in the memory in the portable communication device 300 in the form of application software.
When the squeeze image 201 in which the image 82 is compressed in the horizontal direction is generated, a margin 202 (English: pillar box) is always generated by the amount compressed to the left and right of the image as shown in FIG. Another squeezed image may be embedded in the margin 202, and if this is applied, an image for two or three screens can be projected as an image 84.
