Abstract

PURPOSE:To confirm the display contents of a display device even nearby an input part. CONSTITUTION:An input device 1 consists of a keyboard 2 for inputting the display contents and a display 3 on which the input contents are confirmed, and an input signal is sent to the display device 5 which is installed at a distance through the input device 1 and displayed. A monitor 6 consists of a switch for operating a camera 8 and a display 7 which displays the video signal from the camera 8 which picks up an image of the display contents of the display device 5 and is arranged nearby the input device 1. Consequently, a fault, etc., can easily be found, so a necessary countermeasure can be taken.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display content confirmation device, and more particularly to a display content confirmation device for a display device that displays news, weather forecasts, etc. on the street.

0002

[Prior Art] Display devices that display news, weather forecasts, etc. are often seen on the streets, but input devices for inputting information such as news and weather forecasts are installed at locations remote from the display devices. There is. When the operator inputs information to be displayed on the display device into the input device, the input information is input to the control device that drives the display device via a communication line etc., and the control device, based on the input information,
The information is displayed on a display device.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, if the above-mentioned control device malfunctions or a failure occurs in the communication line, etc., a situation will occur in which the input information will not be displayed accurately on the display device, or will not be displayed at all. . If such a situation occurs, incorrect information will be provided to the person viewing the display, or required information will not be provided, causing a great deal of trouble to many people. However, as described above, when the display device is installed at a location remote from the input device, it has not been possible to confirm whether the content input to the input device is correctly displayed on the display device.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a display content confirmation device that allows the user to confirm the display content displayed on a display device installed at a location remote from the input device while being near the input device. There is a particular thing.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes an input section for inputting arbitrary display contents, and an input section that is installed at a remote location from the input section and that responds to input signals from the input section. A display content checking device includes a display device that displays content on the display device; The system is equipped with a monitor for displaying images.

[0006]

[Operation] The display content confirmation device according to the present invention uses a camera to image the display content displayed on a display device installed at a remote location from the input device, and places the captured content near the input device. Since the information is displayed on a certain monitor, the content displayed on the display device can be checked while being near the input device.

[0007]

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

The input device 1 is composed of a keyboard 2 for inputting display contents and a display 3 for confirming input contents. The control device 4 is connected to the input device 1 and transmits a display signal in response to an input signal from the input device 1 to a display device 5 installed at a remote location. The monitor 6 includes a switch (not shown) for operating the camera 8 and a display 7 for displaying video signals from the camera 8, and is disposed near the input device 1. The camera 8 is installed at a location where it can image the main part or all of the content displayed on the display device 5.
Converts the image displayed on the screen into a video signal and transmits it.

[0009] When inputting display contents, the input device 1
Enter the displayed content from the keyboard 2 while checking it on the display 3. And input device 1 is keyboard 2
The input signal input from the control device 4 is transmitted to the control device 4. The control device 4 transmits a display signal according to the received input signal to the display device 5. The display device 5 displays images such as characters and figures according to the received display signal.

[0010] By turning on a switch (not shown) of the monitor 6, the camera 8 starts capturing an image of the display content on the display device 5, and transmits the video signal to the monitor 6. The monitor 6 displays an image on the display 7 according to the received image signal. By looking at the video displayed on the display 7, the content displayed on the display device 5 can be confirmed. After confirming the displayed contents, the operation of the camera 8 is stopped by turning off the switch. If the display 7 displays information different from the information you entered, or if it does not display at all, immediately investigate the cause of the failure and repair it to prevent incorrect information from being displayed in the future. To prevent a situation where no display is made at all.

[0011]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, in the present invention, the display contents displayed on the display device installed at a remote location from the input section can be checked on the monitor located near the input section. If an incorrect display is being performed due to a failure in the control device or display device, this can be easily discovered while being in the vicinity of the input device, so that necessary measures can be taken.
