A magnet 24 having a rectangular parallelepiped in contact with the voice coil 23 is fixed to the magnet mounting portion 27.

Next, the presentation table can also be a counter table for face-to-face sales of goods. And although the said face-to-face sales with a customer are made through this counter table, the said cover body used at that time has a display which envisioned the product to be presented. When a label having a display envisioned as a product display is placed on the counter table, the cover is detected, the content data corresponding to the product is read out, and the product is explained.

The diaphragm fixing part 26 is normally integrated in the diaphragm fixing part 28 of the yoke 21, and has the hole 29 for fixing the diaphragm 25 in the center part.                 

As illustrated in FIG. 8, the diaphragm 25 has a shape in which four sides equal to the yoke 21 protrude, and has a hole 30 corresponding to the hole 29 in the upper and lower protrusions of FIG. 8. It has a central opening 31 long in the left and right directions.

The diaphragm 25 is fixed to the vibrating plate fixing portion 26 without screws through the space (32).

The plate yoke 33 is attached to the diaphragm 25.

The plate yoke 33 extends along the central opening 31, and the portion located in the central opening 31 is thick, and the upper surface of the plate yoke 33 and the diaphragm 25 are one surface, for example, at both ends. A thin portion of is fixed to the back of the diaphragm 25 by soldering or the like.

In a facility where the presentation table of the present invention is provided, such as the museum described above, a user card or the like is issued to a facility user, and an ID number or the like for managing and identifying the user is often attached to each user card. In the management item of the user by such a management ID number, which presentation table the user traversed is recorded. Not only which presentation table was traversed, but which information was moved during display of the table and which content was viewed, along with time information, can be interpreted to indicate how much the user was interested in which exhibition. have. That is, at least one of the information specifying the user as the user information, the information specifying the presentation table visited in the past, the information specifying the content viewed in the past, the date and time the visited the presentation table and the content viewed date and time are registered.

In the middle thick portion of the plate yoke 33, two holes 34 are formed in parallel, and when they are coupled to the housing 35, screws 36 are inserted into the housing 35, and the entire speaker 37 is mounted on the housing 35. It is supposed to be.

The housing 35 can be divided into two vertically.

As described above, the present invention is preferably used when a deaf person talks or watches a television, when normal hearing people talk in a noise situation.

Fig. 2 shows an exhibition panel 1, in which events in society and events in companies are displayed in photographs and titles in time series each year in the timeline. In FIG. 2, for example, in 1965, social events such as the "Izanagi Game", the bombing of the US military North Vietnam, and the Toichiaga Shinichiro Nobel Prize in Physics were described. At the same time, there are indications of the development of the wet electronic copier developed in the company and the pictures accordingly.

In addition, by providing a light shielding mask where the focus of the projector in front of the screen is not connected, the edge of the projected image is shielded so that the periphery of the image on the screen is blurred, thereby creating a sense of unity between the table and the content.

When a plurality of tags are sequentially recognized, the content of the last recognized identification ID is always displayed according to the "last-out rule". The content previously displayed is a thumbnail screen (reduced screen) 37, and is displayed as history information in the corner of the tabletop. All tags are removed from the magnetic field of the antenna 25 to return to the initial state.

The content indicated by the identification ID of the RFID can be composed of a plurality of pages, and it is a specification that the page turning and page return are possible by the touch keyboard 26 (cross keys) for content operation arranged on the tabletop. The touch keyboard 26 is also used for ON / OFF language switching of narration voice (Japanese, English, Chinese, etc.), operation of a moving picture file (pause, etc.).

That is, a PC 5 for content storage and display (combined with a control PC), content display software, content (FLASH file, still image and moving image file, PPT file, etc.), and touch keyboard 26 for content operation ( Used for page turning, voice switching, language switching, etc., projector 4 (DLP method, high contrast, short focus type), optical path member (reflective mirror, rear screen type) Table top, filter, etc.)

First, it is determined whether or not the content display control device has received IC tag data ID (step 100). If not, this determination is repeated. In other words, it is in a waiting state for reception. When the content display control device receives the IC tag data ID, a combination of content types is performed.

The flash movie is requested to be updated (step 107), and the flash movie is reproduced as the corresponding content (step 105). In addition, when the icons 2 are placed on a plurality of tables in succession, a plurality of tags are recognized sequentially. In that case, the following rules are followed. For example, if information from a plurality of icons 2 is given in step 107, irrationality occurs, and when the icon A is placed, when the icon B is released, the information of the icon A is displayed on the thumbnail screen, and the information of the B is displayed. Is displayed on the main screen.

By placing the "icon 2" removed from the display panel 1 on the circumference of the tabletop (the upper part of the RFID antenna 25 hidden behind the table top plate), the "icon (2)" Content of the subject indicated by &quot; The content is subjected to image processing that is familiar to the background color of the tabletop, such as a cut out image, and a display method that does not make the PC screen feel due to the effect of display processing with a slight delay. Atmosphere that seems to be reflected in scenery)

In addition, the content is composed of a plurality of pages like a book, and when an icon is placed on the table, the second page of the summary is displayed as a default page.

By introducing a combination of related topics while describing a topic, it is possible to know the relationship between individual pieces of information and to grasp the whole picture more clearly. In that case, while the content of the subject is displayed on the tabletop, another "icon 2" for activating the related subject is removed from the panel 1, and the circumference of the tabletop (the upper part of the RFID antenna 25) ). Then, the content of the subject represented by the "icon 2" newly added in accordance with the "return rule" is displayed. Similar to the above, this content can be presented in detail by using the cross keys. By repeating this operation, you can present up to 15 topics in succession. The first displayed content is the thumbnail screen 37. The history is displayed in the corner of the tabletop, and when the new theme is displayed, the icon 2 must be detached from the display panel 1 to be displayed. It is possible to handle the information in which the part is released.

In the following example, in a museum, an art gallery, etc. in which a plurality of exhibition rooms exist, a plurality of presentation tables are prepared, each presentation table is arranged in a different exhibition room, and the exhibits of each exhibition room are explained by using the presentation table.

As a result, it is possible to interpret what kind of exhibition the user is interested in. That is, in a table, if it leaves the table from the start time of viewing some content, moves to the next table, and the reading start time of the contents in the next table is long, it is viewed in the contents of the previous table. The presumption is that the self was interested. On the other hand, if that time was short. If the content is shorter than the reproduction time, it is assumed that the contents are worn out during the reproduction of the contents.

When the presentation table of each exhibition hall is visited in the above pattern (3), the presentation table of the fourth exhibition hall displays contents from the subject of the Indus civilization related to the Egyptian civilization seen in the previous exhibition hall. For example, focusing on `` brick '' as a building material, in the area of Egyptian civilization, because most of the area is occupied by the desert, and it hardly rains, the `` Sunlight Brick '' that only hardens and dried the soil is built. It was used as a material. In Indus civilization, on the other hand, many reliefs have been painted with Buddhist motifs on baked bricks. Although it is not related as a manufacturing method of building materials, it is possible to connect both civilizations with the keyword "brick", which can bring out the continuous interest of the viewers.

In the above example, the user who uses the cover letter is identified by the ID number of the entrant card, but each time the user information registration means for storing the user information is provided and the plurality of presentation tables are traversed. In addition, you may provide the point granting means which adds a point for every user to this user information registration means. At this time, as user information, for example, an address, a telephone number, an e-mail address, or the like may be registered, and the accumulated points may be viewed via the Internet. It may be urged.
