  Next, the usage method and function (operation) of the information display device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The information display 1 according to the present embodiment is optimal for temporary events such as outdoor events and funerals. Now, when an outdoor event is held, it is assumed that the information display device 1 according to the present embodiment is used to secure a guideway for spectators and the like.

  First, the required number of information displays 1. In the memory 4 of each information display 1..., Data types D including various display data Dd and audio data Ds that are expected to be used are written and registered in advance. In use, the display information selection switch 25 and the audio information selection switch 26 select display data Dd and audio data Ds to be used from a large number of registered data Dd. At this time, if there is no appropriate display data Dd and audio data Ds, the display data Dd and / or audio data Ds can be added by the data adding means Fa. That is, using the personal computer 51, necessary display data Dd and / or audio data Ds are created, and the created display data Dd and / or audio data Ds are transmitted via a USB cable connected to the USB terminal 24.

Furthermore, the voice data Ds can be added and rewritten by using the built-in microphone 33 and the recording button 34.

  On the other hand, each information display 1 ... is taken to a necessary installation place and installed. At the time of installation, since it is configured as a small portable information display 1..., It can be easily installed, and various types of display installation means Fx. it can. For example, in the case of the indicator installation means Fx using the hanging tool 9a shown in FIG. 1, it can be hung using an appropriate protrusion. FIG. 4 shows the display installation means Fx using the attracting magnets 9b. Therefore, when there is a wall surface Wo or the like on which a magnet such as a metal plate is attracted, it can be easily installed by using one or more attracting magnets 9b provided on the rear surface of the information display 1. Furthermore, FIG. 5 shows the indicator installation means Fx using the stand 9c. Therefore, when there is nothing on the ground E, it can be easily installed using a stand 9c such as a tripod Po. In the case of the tripod Po, a camera tripod, a microphone stand, or the like can be used, and a screw hole for attaching a tripod may be provided on the bottom surface of the information display 1. Thus, since the information display 1 can be provided with the display installation means Fx having at least one or more of the hanging tool 9a, the attracting magnet 9b, and the stand 9c, it corresponds to various places of use. There exists an advantage which can improve installation ease and installation flexibility, such as being able to install easily. On the other hand, if the display information selection switch 25 is switched to the Lm position in FIG. 2, the entire display panel 2 can be lit in white, yellow, etc., thereby being used as a temporary lighting device (flashlight, etc.). It becomes possible.

  When the installation is completed, the power switch 32 is turned on, and necessary display data Dd and audio data Ds are selected. Thus, for example, in the case of FIG. 1, information G combining the “exit” character Mw and the arrow figure Mi is displayed on the display panel 2 in an LED display. Similarly, the other information displays 1... Can display a plurality of pieces of information G... Combining a character Mw such as “entrance” and “route” and an arrow figure Mi. At this time, the character Mw and the figure Mi can select a static display or a scroll (flowing) display.

  6A to 6C show other examples of information G displayed on the display panel 2. 6A shows a display example of a letter Mw in English and an entry prohibition mark figure Mi, FIG. 6B shows a display example of only the character Mw, and FIG. 6C shows a character Mw at time T. Each display example includes a clock function. In this way, various displays can be selected and performed. On the other hand, a message such as “It is 2 o'clock” can be played from the speaker 6, and if necessary, music (BGM) that matches the atmosphere of the place can be played, increasing the information that can be transmitted. it can. This display and sound output continues until the power switch 32 is turned off. When an unplanned situation occurs at the installation location, information suitable for the situation can be created and displayed on the spot by connecting the personal computer 51. The same applies to the addition and rewriting of the audio data Ds by using the built-in microphone 33 and the recording button 34 described above. Thereby, for example, “Please wait for a while” or the like can be displayed as a display example, or a voice such as “The performance has been changed to 2:30” can be played as a sound example.

  Incidentally, the exemplary information display 1 includes a human detection sensor 8 that detects a person. Therefore, the sensor use mode can be selected by switching the sensor use changeover switch 22. Thereby, the information display 1 can make the information display 1 into a use state only when the person approaches. In the sensor use mode, if no person is detected, the power supply is kept off. However, if the person approaches the information display 1 and the person detection sensor 8 detects the approach of the person, the detection result is the mancro. Since it is given to the computer 4, the power of the mancro computer 4 is switched to the ON state. At this point, information G is displayed on the display panel 2 and a message flows from the speaker 6. On the other hand, if the human detection sensor 8 no longer detects a person, the power is turned off after a preset set time has elapsed, and thereafter, the off state is maintained until a person is detected. The sensor use mode can be set separately for display and sound. For example, it is possible to set so that only the sound is set to the sensor use mode and the information G is always displayed. Therefore, the use of such a sensor use mode has an advantage that power can be saved by suppressing power consumption.

  In addition, a timer use mode with a timer function can be used. With this timer use mode, specific information can be displayed for a predetermined time or a plurality of different information can be switched and displayed at predetermined time intervals. For example, in the case of a concert that opens at 1 o'clock, by installing the information indicator 1 at the entrance of the venue at around 12:00, “Please enter here” is displayed (voice output) at 1 o'clock. You can set the output pattern, such as turning off the display (voice output) at 4 o'clock. As described above, the information display 1 is provided with a timer function (timer use mode), and when one or two or more preset times are reached, display and / or audio output means Fs by the corresponding information display means Fd. If the output of the sound is performed only for a preset time, the information display device 1 can be used only when it is necessary, so that it is possible to save power by suppressing power consumption. In addition, since the user can save time and effort to operate frequently, the labor can be reduced and forgetting to operate can be avoided. The timer use mode and the sensor use mode can be used in combination.

  Therefore, according to the information display device 1 according to the present embodiment, the power supply means Fp having the battery 3a or the battery, the computing means Fc having the microcomputer 4, the display data Dd or the sound related to the information G The data storage means Fm having the memory 5 in which the data D including the data Ds is written, and the character Mw or the figure Mi corresponding to the predetermined display data Dd read from the memory 5 by the computing means Fc are displayed on the display panel 2. Information display means Fd for outputting, audio output means Fs for outputting sound corresponding to predetermined audio data Ds read from the memory 5 by the computing means Fc from the speaker 6, and data classes D inputted from the outside for computing means Fc To write to the memory 5 or to rewrite the data D in the memory 5 with And is added to the housing 7 so as to be portable, so that it can be adapted to various uses and purposes without being limited to specific uses and purposes. The versatility and versatility can be enhanced, and it is excellent in portability such as being able to be freely carried and used in various places of use.

  The preferred embodiment has been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and the detailed configuration, shape, material, quantity, and the like are within the scope of the present invention. , Can be changed, added and deleted arbitrarily. For example, general functions in the display panel 2, such as brightness adjustment and colorization, can be arbitrarily added or changed. Moreover, although the display panel using LED was illustrated as the display panel 2, the display panel using a liquid crystal etc. may be sufficient. Furthermore, although the character Mw and the figure Mi were illustrated as information, it may be an image (including a dynamic image), or a combination of one or more of these. On the other hand, since the exemplary information display 1 has the solar panels 11 integrally assembled, the depth of the housing 7 is increased. However, the solar panel 11 is removed, a detachable form, or a foldable form.
