The output information is supplied to the decoding processing unit 33, 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 generator 34, where an image signal and an audio signal are generated from the decoded information. These signals are output via the output port 35 and supplied to the information input / output unit 50.

  Further, the control board 30 is equipped with a fragrance emitting section 36, and the fragrance emitting section 36 mounted on the control board 30 and each of the above sections 31 to 34 are centered on the CPU mounted on the control board 30. The drive is controlled by the control unit 37 configured as described above. An output signal of an infrared reflection sensor 38 that functions as a human sensor is supplied to the control unit 37 via an input port 39. Further, an output signal of the body temperature sensor 40 (biological information sensor) for detecting the human body temperature is supplied via the input port 41. Further, an output signal of the urine analyzer 42 (biological information sensor) that analyzes the urinary component to determine the health condition is supplied via the input port 43. The control unit 37 drives and controls each unit based on these input signals according to a control program stored in the ROM.

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

  Here, the infrared reflection sensor 38 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 an information output device. 6 (1). In the information switching processing unit 31 of the information output device 6 (1), the first input terminal 31 a is held in a state connected to the output terminal 31 c, and the TV that is normally streamed from the information distribution server 3 is maintained. The broadcast program (first information) is supplied to the information input / output unit 50, and only the video of the TV broadcast program is displayed on the display screen 54 of the image output unit 51 of the information input / output unit 50.

When a person is detected by the infrared reflection sensor 38, the control unit 37 controls the information switching processing unit 31 to disconnect the first input end 31a and the output end 31c and connect the second input end 31b to the output end 31c.

As a result, in the information input / output unit 50, an image of advertisement information is displayed on the display screen 54, and the sound is output from the sound output unit 52.

The body temperature sensor 40 measures the thermography of a person approaching the toilet, and based on that, 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 37 releases a scent having an effect of raising the mood from the fragrance releasing unit 36, and when it is determined that the body temperature is high, the control unit 37 has an effect of calming the mood. A certain scent is released from the fragrance release part 36.

  The urine tester 42 is attached to, for example, the drainage pipe of each toilet, and detects one or a plurality of components of urination and determines the health state based on the detection. For example, when sugar is detected from urination, the control unit 37 stores a fixed message stored in advance in the storage unit 32, for example, a message such as “We recommend that you go to a health checkup”. (Third information) is displayed on the display screen 54 together with the advertisement information.

On the other hand, the human face image captured by the imaging unit 53 of the information input / output unit 50 is supplied from the information output device 6 (1) to the distribution server 3 via the LAN cable 11. In the information 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 emitting unit 36 may be switched and controlled.

  When the display screen 54 of the image output unit 51 has a touch panel function, a plurality of types of advertisement information can be output, and touch panel input supplied to the control unit 37 via the input port 45 The displayed advertisement information can be switched and displayed. For example, a plurality of information is prepared as the second information, a menu screen is displayed first, and menus such as “game table information”, “departure information”, and “event information” displayed there are selected. The selected information can be displayed.

(Information output operation of the information output device)
FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart showing the information output operation of the information output device 6 (1) in the information providing system 1 of this example. The operation of the information output device 6 (1) will be described below with reference to this figure. First, in the information output device 6 (1), the first information, which is general TV broadcast program information, is always streamed and distributed from the information distribution server 3 side via the LAN cable 11 to the image. It is broadcast on the display screen 54 of the output unit 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 38 that a person has stood in front of the toilet (step ST2). The detection area of each infrared reflection sensor 38 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 in front of the toilet bowl, the output information is switched by the control unit 37 (step ST3). As a result, on the display screen 54 of the image output unit 51, the advertisement information distributed in advance from the information distribution server 3 side and stored in the storage unit 32 is displayed as an image on the display screen 54, and the sound is output. Audio is output from the unit 52 (step ST4). The advertisement information is for a short time, for example, within 5 minutes, and is repeatedly output.

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 40, and the scent is released from the fragrance emitting part 36 for a predetermined time according to the measurement result (step ST5). 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 emitting unit 36 for a certain period of time. When the body temperature is high, a scent having an effect of calming is released from the fragrance emitting unit 36 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 40. For example, first, predetermined advertisement information may be output and then switched to the advertisement information selected based on the measurement result.

Furthermore, the urination component is inspected by the urination tester 42, and a message about a health condition or the like is displayed on the display screen 54 based on the specific component (step ST6). For example, if sugar is detected from urination, the control unit 37 will receive a standard message stored in the storage unit 32 in advance, for example, “We recommend that you go to a health checkup.” 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 38 (step ST7), an output switching process is performed by the control unit 37 (step ST8), and the display screen 54 of the image output unit 51 is again displayed on the TV program. Return to the release screen.

  The advertising information stored and held in the storage unit 32 of the information input / output unit 50 can be distributed in advance from the information distribution server 3 side. Further, the advertisement information can be updated from the information distribution server 3 side. For example, the update process can be performed simultaneously with streaming.

(Example of output information)
In the above example, when a person stands in front of the toilet bowl, predetermined advertisement information is output as the second 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 first 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 image output unit 51. That is, the first output form that can be recognized visually is output. Further, when a person stands in front of a 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 information distribution server 3 and each information output device are connected by a LAN cable, and each information output device has a storage unit 32 for storing and holding advertisement information. Accordingly, the advertisement information can be output on demand in each information output device, and the advertisement information can be individually registered in each information output device.

  Here, the advertisement information may not be stored in each information output device. For example, a storage unit for storing and holding advertisement information can be omitted from each information output device. In this case, the information distribution server 3 must hold the second information to be distributed to each information output device, and the second information is distributed in response to a request from each information output device. The

  On the other hand, instead of the LAN method, the second information may be distributed from the information distribution server 3 to each information output device by a frequency division multiplexing method. In this case, the information distribution server and each information output device are connected via a coaxial cable, and a tuner is arranged on each information output device side. Also in this case, either a configuration in which a memory for holding the second information is mounted on each information output device 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 information output device has a memory.

(Another example of information output device)
FIG. 4 is a schematic configuration diagram showing another example of the information output device 6 (1). The information output device 6A of this example includes a rectangular flat device case 61, and a display screen 64 of a liquid crystal display device 63 (image output unit) is exposed inside a rectangular frame 62 on the front surface of the device case 61. . Left and right speakers 65 and 66 (audio output units) are arranged on the back side of the left and right frame portions of the rectangular frame 62, and the device case 61 is built in the center of the lower frame portion of the rectangular frame 62. The fragrance 67a of the fragrance device 67 (fragrance discharge part) is open.

  A control board 70 is built in the device case 61. The control board 70 is equipped with an STB (Set Top Box) 71. The image information of the TV broadcast program input from the LAN port 72 is converted into an NTSC signal here and output to the driver (not shown) of the liquid crystal display device 63 from the NTSC port 73 and is displayed on the display screen 64 via the driver. It is displayed. Further, the advertisement information distributed from the information distribution server 3 side and input from the LAN port 72 is stored in the MPEG image memory 76 (storage unit) via the TCP-IP protocol interface 74 and the MPEG decoder 75. Retained. The advertisement information held here is decoded by the MPEG decoder 75 and converted into an NTSC composite signal including audio and images, and then output from the NTSC port 73 to the liquid crystal display device 63. The image information is displayed on the display screen. The audio information is output from left and right speakers 65 and 66.

  The above-described units mounted on the control board 70 and the fragrance device 67 are driven and controlled by a control unit 77 mainly composed of a CPU. An output signal of the human sensor 78 is supplied to the control unit 77 via the input port 79. Further, an output signal of the body temperature sensor 81 for detecting the human body temperature is supplied through the input port 82. Further, an output signal of the urine analyzer 83 that analyzes the urinary component to determine the health condition is supplied via the input port 84. The control unit 77 drives and controls each unit based on these input signals according to a control program stored in the ROM.

  In this example, the human sensor 78 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 a position near each toilet or information output Built in the device 6A. The control unit 77 always displays the TV broadcast program on the display screen 64. However, when it is detected that a person has entered the area, the display information is transmitted from the TV broadcast program to the MPEG image memory 76. Switch to the promotional information held in.

  The body temperature sensor 81 measures thermography of a person approaching the toilet, and based on that, determines the person's excitement state in multiple stages and outputs the determination result. For example, two-stage discrimination is performed when the body temperature is low and high, and the discrimination result is output. When it is determined that the body temperature is low, the control unit 77 releases an aroma having an effect of raising the mood from the aroma device 67, and when it is determined that the body temperature is high, the control unit 77 has an effect of calming the mood. The scent is released from the aroma device 67.

  On the other hand, the urine tester 83 is attached to, for example, the drainage pipe of each toilet, and detects one or a plurality of urine components and determines the health state based on the detected one or more. For example, when sugar is detected from urination, the control unit 77 has a standard message stored in the MPEG image memory 76 in advance, for example, a message such as “We recommend that you go to a health checkup”. (Third information) is displayed on the display screen together with the advertisement information.

  In addition, as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 4, a removable MPEG image memory 90 such as a CF (Compact Flash (registered trademark)) card or an SD memory card can be mounted. Or the like may be individually displayed on each information output device 6A. Of course, the advertisement information uniquely created in the game store 2 may be put in the image memory 21 of the information distribution server 3 and output in each information output device.

Further, the display screen 64 of the liquid crystal display device 63 is provided with a touch panel function so that a plurality of types of advertisement information can be displayed, and the displayed advertisement information can be switched and displayed by a touch panel input 91 indicated by an imaginary line in FIG. You may do it. For example, a plurality of information is prepared as the second information, a menu screen is displayed first, and menus such as “game table information”, “departure information”, and “event information” displayed there are selected. The selected information can be displayed.

(Other embodiments)
In the above example, the present invention is applied to provide information on a game store. The information providing method 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 second information by the information output device 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 also be determined whether or not the installation location of the information output device is a location suitable for transmitting information where many people gather.

  Furthermore, a fortune telling function can be added to the information providing 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 providing system 1 described above, the touch screen function is provided on the display screen 54 of the information input / output unit 50 of the information output device 6 (1) so that a person can use the toilet 4 of the toilet 4. A fortune telling button is displayed on the display screen that is switched when approaching. When the user presses the fortune telling button, the display screen 54 is switched to the fortune telling menu screen to display various fortune telling menus. For example, three types are displayed: (a) today's fortune-telling, (b) this week's fortune-telling, and (c) new divination. Each fortune-telling menu functions as a selection button, and when one of these is pressed, the display screen 54 is switched to the pressed fortune-telling screen, and the fortune-telling content such as what is fortune-telling is displayed and fortune-telling is executed on the screen Show button. When the fortune-telling execution button is pressed, it is sent to the information distribution server 3 via the control unit 37 and the LAN cable 11 of the information output device 6 (1). The information distribution server 3 notifies the central distribution server 20 of the received fortune-telling execution command via the Internet 18.

  Upon receiving the notification, the central distribution server 20 creates fortune telling result data and displays the data on the display screen 54 of the information input / output unit 50 of the information output device 6 (1) via the information distribution server 3. For example, the following contents are displayed as the fortune-telling results.

(a) In case of “Today's fortune-telling” Display of today's recommended game machines (manufacturer name, model name, specification overview) Lucky machine number (game numbers with “1” or “8” in the machine number) Display of lucky items (polka dot handkerchiefs, gas lighters, fans, etc.)
(b) In case of “This week's fortune-telling” This week ’s recommendation is that a stand made by XXX (maker name, model installed this week) is recommended.
(c) In the case of “New stand fortune telling” Next time new stand replacement and display of fortune telling results about player compatibility Next week's XX month XX day new stand replacement (CRxxx appearance), compatibility with you includes new stand replacement information such as 120% display

  Here, in the central distribution server 20, the fortune-telling content data such as the fortune-telling results as described above, the model data provided from the game machine manufacturer, and the game of the game shop 2 in which the information providing system 1 of this example is installed. It is desirable to edit and generate fortune telling result data based on store data (installed model information, event information). For example, the fortune-telling data is edited by the management company of the information providing system 1, the model data is edited by the game machine manufacturer, the game shop data is edited at the game shop side, What is necessary is just to enable it to provide to the delivery server 20.
