Hereinafter, an installation tool implemented by a digital signage installation method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this installation tool, a commonly used portable tablet computer such as iPad (registered trademark) is commercially available. As such a tablet computer, there is a tablet terminal equipped with, for example, Android (registered trademark) or Windows (registered trademark) in addition to iPad.

  Further, it will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented by a portable digital display device other than a tablet computer. Such display devices include digital photo frames, wireless televisions, and small monitors for PCs.

With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the digital signage installation instrument installed with the digital signage installation method of Example 1 is demonstrated . Here, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the digital signage installation instrument of FIG. The installation tool 1 includes a frame-shaped tablet jacket 3 made of resin, and suction cups 4 provided at four corners of the tablet jacket 3.

  The tablet jacket 3 has an opening 5 that is slightly larger than the monitor of the tablet computer to be mounted, and a groove 7 is provided along the inner periphery of the opening 5. Further, the groove 7 is opened upward to serve as an insertion port 9 for inserting a tablet computer.

  Next, the digital signage installation device of this embodiment will be described according to an actual usage scenario. A user is assumed to be a restaurant owner. First, the owner edits a signage image (moving image, still image, etc.) to be displayed as digital signage and stores it in his tablet computer. Such signage images include, for example, a dish or a zoomed-in moving image of a dish and a telop with the name and price of the dish.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the tablet computer 10 is inserted from the insertion port 9 and is attached to the tablet jacket 3. The tablet jacket 3 is provided with an opening 11 for connecting a power plug. A power plug is connected to the connector 13 of the tablet computer 10 to start up the tablet computer 10 and display an image for signage. Then, the tablet jacket 3 is attached to the window glass facing the street using the sucker 4.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the tablet computer 10 is inserted in such a direction that the display side faces the window glass. Accordingly, only the back of the tablet computer 10 can be seen from the inside of the store, but a signage image is displayed through the glass for a passerby walking on the street. As shown in FIG. 4, it is also possible to insert the tablet computer 10 in the opposite direction, that is, with the display side facing the store. Therefore, it also has a function as a wall-mounted digital frame.

  The tablet jacket 3 is also provided with an opening 17 for accessing the headphone jack of the tablet computer 10 from the outside. That is, even when the tablet jacket 3 is attached, an audio signal can be output to the outside. If a commercially available bone conduction speaker 19 that can be attached to a window glass is connected to the headphone jack, sound can be output toward the street (see FIG. 5).

  Note that the suction cups 4 are provided at the four corners of the tablet jacket 3 in the mobile phone of the above embodiment. However, various other methods are conceivable for attaching the tablet jacket 3 to the window glass. For example, as shown in the rear view of FIG. 6, a large number of smaller suction cups 4s may be provided on the rear surface of the tablet jacket 3, and these may be attached to the window glass. Alternatively, without using a suction cup, the back surface of the tablet jacket 3 may be a flat surface and attached to the window glass with a double-sided tape.

  Further, the bone conduction speaker can be incorporated in the tablet jacket 3. In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the vibration of the voice coil is conducted to the window glass via the suction cup 4b. However, since sound waves are indirectly transmitted from the voice coil to the window glass via the conductive rod 4r and the conductive plate 4t, attenuation of acoustic energy is conceivable. More preferably, the back surface of the tablet jacket 3 incorporating the bone conduction speaker is a flat surface, and the attenuation is reduced by sticking it directly to the window glass with a double-sided tape or the like.

  Further, an amplifier for amplifying a signal from the tablet computer 10 can be incorporated in the tablet jacket 3. In order to increase the sound volume from the window glass, an external horn 25 may be attached to the outside of the window glass 21 and corresponding to the bone conduction speaker 19 inside the tablet jacket 3 to adjust the acoustic impedance (see FIG. 8).

FIG. 9 shows a digital signage installation device installed by the digital signage installation method according to the second embodiment. This installation tool includes tablet support rods 31 and 33 and suction cup support rods 35 and 37, and is made of a resin rich in elasticity.

  Hooks 31h and 33h are provided at the tips of the tablet support rods 31 and 33, respectively, so that the tablet computer 10 can be held as shown in FIG. Further, a suction cup 4 is provided at the tip of each of the suction cup support rods 35 and 37, so that it can be installed on a window glass. The hooks 31h and 33h are attached with sheets 31s and 33s made of a material that does not damage the tablet computer 10 or the glass surface (see FIG. 13).

  FIG. 11 is a top view of the digital signage installation device of FIG. Here, an offset 33f as shown in FIG. 12 is provided at the center of the horizontally extending tablet support bar 33, and the vertically extended tablet support bar 31 is fitted therein. A female screw hole 41 is provided at the center position of the tablet support bar 31, and a hole 43 is provided in the offset 33 f of the corresponding tablet support bar 33. In a state where the tablet support rod 31 is fitted in the tablet support rod 33, the hole 43 and the female screw hole 41 are aligned coaxially. However, the inner surface of the hole 43 is not a female screw.

  Although the female screw hole 41 is provided in the tablet support rod 31, if the bolt 39 protrudes through the female screw hole 41, the back surface of the tablet computer 10 may be damaged. However, since the offset 33f is provided on the tablet support rod 33, even if the bolt 39 protrudes a little, it does not contact the back surface of the tablet computer 10.

  A spacer 45 is provided between the tablet support rod 33 and the suction cup support rod 35. The spacer 45 is also provided with a hole 47. Again, the hole 47 is aligned coaxially with the hole 43 and the female screw hole 41 in the assembled state.
