Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an in-room display device for displaying "vacant room", "in use", etc. outside the room according to the usage status of the room.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIGS. 3 to 5 show various conventional in-room display devices. In-room display device 30 of FIG.
Is printed with the letters “in use” and “vacant space” on both sides of the plate 31.
By switching to the hook, it is displayed in the indoor usage mode.

In the in-room display device 40 shown in FIG. 4, a display window 42 is formed in the right half portion of a thin box-shaped case 41. The word "vacant room" is displayed through this window, and the case 41 is also displayed. The character "in use" is printed on the slide plate 43 provided therein. When the slide plate 43 is slid to the left half of the case 41, the word "vacant room" is displayed in the display window 42 (Fig. 4 (a)), and when slid to the right half, the slide plate 43 becomes "empty". Cover the word "room",
The word "in use" is displayed in the display window 42 (Fig. 4).
(B)).

On the other hand, in the in-room display device 50 shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of types of characters representing the indoor usage state are described side by side on the display plate 51, and the portions of the plurality of characters are used to appropriately display the display plate 51. Arrow 5 slidably provided on the upper end
Move 2 to display it.

[0005]

Among the conventional in-room display devices as described above, the display contents shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 can clearly display the display contents, but the display contents (items) are two types. There was a problem that was limited to. Also, FIG.
Although the display content of more than two types can be displayed, the display content indicated by the arrow 52 is not easy to understand.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and provides an in-room display device capable of clearly displaying display contents and capable of displaying plural kinds of display contents exceeding two kinds. Its purpose is to provide.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the in-room display device of the present invention is an in-room display device for displaying the usage mode of a corresponding room outdoors, and displays the usage mode. Display means, storage means for storing a plurality of types of usage modes, selection means for selecting one usage mode from a plurality of types of usage modes stored in the storage means, and one usage selected by the selection means It is characterized in that it has a control means for displaying the mode on the display means, and a power supply means for these display means, storage means, selection means and control means.

In this case, it is preferable that the display means includes a liquid crystal display.

In these cases, it is preferable that the power supply means includes a solar cell.

[0010]

According to the in-room display device of the first aspect, the control means is operated by the selection means, and one designated usage mode of a plurality of usage modes stored in the storage means is displayed on the display means. Display it. In this case, even if there are a plurality of types of usage that can be displayed, the number of usages displayed on the display means is one, so that the viewer does not misunderstand the display. Also, as long as it can be physically stored in the storage means, it is possible to display a large number of usage modes.

According to the in-room display device of the second aspect, by using the liquid crystal display as the display means, it is possible to reduce the power consumption and the thickness of the device.

According to the in-room display device of the third aspect, by using the solar battery as the power supply means, the installation place of the device is not restricted, and the complexity of battery replacement can be avoided. .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the in-room display device of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of an in-room display device, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an electric circuit of its display system. As shown in FIG. 1, the in-room display device 1 is configured by disposing a liquid crystal display 3, a solar cell 4, and a selection button 5 on a front panel 2a of a thin case 2. . As shown in FIG. 2, a nickel cadmium battery 6 that stores electricity generated by the solar cell 4, an IC 7 including a CPU 8 and a ROM 9, and a driver 10 of the liquid crystal display 3 are provided in the case 2. It is built in. Incidentally, reference numeral 11 in the drawing
Is a power switch.

The ROM 9 stores a plurality of desired display contents S, such as "in-room", "holiday (absent)", "in a meeting", etc., which indicate the usage mode of the room. When the selection button 5 is pressed, a plurality of types of display contents S are sequentially circulated and displayed on the liquid crystal display 3 via the CPU 8 and the driver 10. In this case, the display content S is stored in the ROM 9 when the product is shipped, and the content and the number are stored as needed.

As described above, according to the in-room display device 1 of this embodiment, only the display content S required on the liquid crystal display 3 can be displayed by pressing the selection button 5.
The display content S can be clarified. Further, since the required number of display contents S can be stored in the ROM 9, a plurality of types of display contents S can be selectively displayed.

A RAM may be used instead of the ROM so that the display contents can be changed appropriately at the installation location. Further, the display contents may be replaced with characters and symbols or pictures may be used.

[0017]

As described above, according to the in-room display device of the present invention, since only the corresponding display contents can be displayed on the display means, the display contents can be clearly displayed and the display contents can be displayed. Since a plurality of types can be stored, it is possible to display a plurality of types of display contents, which are more than two types.
