Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is used for hospital window operations and the like, and is information for improving services for visitors by displaying various information such as messages to visitors and responses to inquiries on an electronic display board. The present invention relates to a display device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, at a hospital window or the like, a message to a visitor, a call and a response to an inquiry about a waiting time are made only by a voice call and a fixed message display.

[0003]

Therefore, when the reception work form is different, it is necessary to handle the individual work by human work, and the work for other persons is delayed or the work is not progressed. There is no way for the visitor to know the situation. For example, if the visitor inquires about the time until the processing is completed, the counter is obliged to handle it and the processing is delayed by that amount. In addition, there is a problem that the conventional fixed message cannot be dealt with, and the redundancy is large such as processing by human correspondence.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an information display device capable of reducing human work in hospital window work and providing information to a visitor to improve service.

[0005]

The information display device of the present invention registers an acceptance number and a message, calculates an average waiting time until the acceptance number is processed, and outputs the result as the acceptance number and the message. Together with an input device for outputting as serial data, a transmitting unit for converting data from the input device into a wireless signal and transmitting the same, and a receiving unit for receiving and demodulating a wireless signal from the transmitting unit and outputting received data. And a display device that converts a data signal input from the receiving unit via the wireless interface into a display signal and displays the display signal.

According to the present invention, a kana for inputting a number, a name, a message, a personal computer capable of inputting kanji, an electronic notebook, a handy terminal or the like is used as an input device, and a function for calculating a reservation waiting time in this device, a message. It has a function to register and update, and a command generation function to control the display, all of which make it possible to control the display of the display device on the input side. Since the input device and the display device are configured by a wireless interface, it is easy to move the installation place. The display device registers the electronic message transferred from the input side in the memory and enables repeated display, and the display method can draw attention because the telop display attribute, enlargement, and emphasis can be designated.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. The input device 10 includes an input unit 11, a calculation unit 12, a display unit 13, and a serial I / O 14. The wireless interface 20 includes a transmission unit 21 that converts a data signal from the input device 10 into a wireless signal and sends the wireless signal, and a reception unit 22 that converts the received wireless signal into a data signal. The display device 30 is configured to display the output from the reception unit 22 on the display unit 32 under the control of the control unit 31.

Next, the details of each device shown in FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a detailed block diagram of the input device 10 of FIG. (1) The name, number, message, program structure and command are input using the keyboard 15 of the input unit 11. (2) The CPU 16 determines the input contents,
The number is displayed on the display unit 13 on the monitor. At the input timing, the CPU 16 counts the number of waiting numbers, calculates the average waiting time, and registers it in the program table on the RAM 18. (3) There are many kinds of programs as shown in (B), and the display contents are as shown in (C). A combination of display contents can be designated by selecting a program, and the program is transferred to the display device in units of program through the serial I / O 14. (4) In the input device, a message can be registered in the RAM 18 in advance, and the registered content is backed up by the battery 19. (5) The command can be used for emergency interruption, display system designation, program switching, transfer control to the display device, and the like.

FIG. 3 is a detailed block diagram of the wireless interface 20 of FIG. (1) R output from the serial I / O 14 of the input device 10
The S232C level is converted into the TTL level by the level converter 23, and the frequency is modulated by the modulator 24. (2) The modulated wireless signal is power-amplified and transmitted by the wireless unit 25. (3) The transmitted wireless signal is transmitted to the wireless unit 26 of the receiving unit 22.
The signal is received and detected by and is demodulated by the demodulator 27. (4) The demodulated TTL level data is error-controlled and then converted to the RS232C level by the level converter 29.

FIG. 4 is a detailed block diagram of the display device 30 of FIG. (1) Data converted by the receiving unit 22, for example, data such as waiting time, processed number, name, message calculated by the input device 10 is received by the serial I / O 33, and the CPU
It is stored in the RAM 36 by 34. (2) The bit data stored in the RAM 36 is the CPU
34 is transferred to and displayed on the electronic display 39 via the display controller 37. (3) The data registered in the video RAM 38 by the display controller 37 is repeatedly displayed. (4) The CPU 34 receives the received data regardless of the display,
It can be edited on the RAM 36. The edited data is time-divisionally transferred to the video RAM 38 to control the display.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing an example of the above-mentioned operation processing of the present invention.

[0012]

The following effects can be obtained by implementing the present invention. (1) Due to the electronic display, the message rewriting work can be performed on the console, and since the display system can be specified, it is possible to handle long sentences. (2) Input device 10 and display device 3 by wireless interface
Since 0 is tied, it can be installed or moved anywhere. (3) Since the waiting time display and processed number can be displayed,
It is possible to eliminate the annoyance of waiting for the visitor. (4) Since various messages can be registered, it is possible to improve the service for visitors. (5) It is possible to reduce human correspondence in the window work.
