As used herein, the term "number ticket issuance machine" refers to a device that issues a number ticket issued to waiting people at a reception window at a financial institution, public institution, medical institution, etc. It is used as a concept that includes all number ticket issuing machines that issue number tickets at places.

As shown in FIG. 1, the number tag indicator light device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a bar 20 having one end connected to the number ticket issuing machine, and a plate plate positioned at the other end of the bar 20 ( 10) and an LED display bar 300 located in front of the plate plate 10, including red LEDs, green LEDs, and blue LEDs, and a converter ( 100 ) and the RGB controller 200 for controlling the driving voltage supplied to each LED of the LED display bar 300 using the DC voltage output from the converter 100 . In addition, it may include a wireless receiver for wirelessly receiving information on the lighting color and blinking period of the LED display bar 300 from the user terminal, and a wired/wireless communication device for wired or wireless communication with the number ticket issuer. It will be described in detail below.

The bar 20 is a bar with one end connected to the number ticket issuing machine as shown in FIG. Various materials such as plastic, stainless steel, iron, and wood may be used as the material.

The plate plate is a plate located connected to the other end of the bar 20. As for the material, various materials such as plastic, stainless steel, iron, and wood may be used. A paper on which a guide phrase is written may be attached to the front surface of the plate plate 10 , and in particular, the LED display bar 300 is positioned on the front surface of the plate plate 10 .

The LED display bar 300 is located on the front and is a light emitting body including a red LED, a green LED, and a blue LED. Therefore, the LED display bar 300 can be lit in red (red) by emitting only the red LED, green (green) can be lit through only the emitting of the green LED, and blue (blue) can be lit through the emitting only of the blue LED. It can be turned on, and white (white) can be turned on by emitting the entire red LED, green LED, and blue LED.

The converter 100 converts an external power source of 220V AC voltage into a DC voltage and outputs the converted voltage. The DC voltage output from the converter 100 may be any one of 5V, 12V, and 24V.

As shown in FIG. 3, as a power cable supplied from the outside, it receives AC three-phase voltages of (+), (-), and (N) and outputs DC voltages of (+) and (-). Accordingly, the converter 100 is provided with a detachable port to which an AC AC power input cable and a DC DC power output cable can be detached, respectively, and these detachable ports may be implemented as an input AC power port and an output DC power port.

The RGB controller 200 is provided with an arithmetic chip and uses the DC voltage output from the converter 100 to control the driving voltage supplied to each LED of the LED display bar 300 to turn on the LED display bar 300 . Controls different colors and blinking cycles.

A method of controlling the lighting color and blinking cycle of the LED display bar 300 to be different may include a manual setting method and an automatic setting method.

In this way, the information on the manually set or automatically set lighting color and blinking cycle is stored in the memory. Here, the memory is flash memory, CF card (Compact Flash Card), SD card (Secure Digital Card), SM card (Smart Media Card), MMC card (Multi-Media Card) or Memory Stick. As a module capable of inputting and outputting information, etc., it may be provided inside the device or may be provided in a separate device.

The manual setting method is a method of receiving user settings and controlling the lighting color and blinking cycle of the LED display bar 300 according to the user settings. Although not shown, a separate setting button is provided, and the user sets the lighting color and the blinking cycle of the LED display bar 300 by pressing the setting button. For example, when the red light button is pressed, the LED display bar 300 lights in red, when the green light button is pressed, the LED display bar 300 lights up in green, and the blue light button is pressed. When the LED display bar 300 is lighted in blue, when the white light button is pressed, the LED display bar 300 lights in white. In addition, when the blinking button with a cycle of 1 second is pressed, the LED display bar 300 blinks with a cycle of 1 second, and when the blinking button with a cycle of 2 seconds is pressed, the LED display bar 300 blinks with a cycle of 2 seconds, with a cycle of 3 seconds When the blinking button is pressed, the LED display bar 300 is controlled to blink at a cycle of 3 seconds.

In addition, the manual setting of the lighting color and the blinking period of the LED display bar 300 may be made wirelessly. That is, information on the lighting color and blinking period of the LED display bar 300 may be wirelessly received from the user terminal. Here, the user terminal may correspond to a smart phone, a desktop PC, a tablet PC, a slate PC, a notebook computer, and the like. Of course, the terminal to which the present invention is applicable is not limited to the above-described types, and it is natural that all terminals capable of communicating with an external device may be included.

On the other hand, the automatic setting method of controlling the lighting color and the blinking cycle of the LED display bar 300 according to user settings can be automatically controlled according to information received from the number ticket issuing machine. For example, when there are many waiting people, it is lit in red, and when there are few waiting people, it is lit in blue, so that it is possible to immediately identify whether there are many waiting people from a distance.

To this end, the number table indicator device includes a wired/wireless communication device that communicates with the number ticket issuer by wire or wireless communication. In this case, wired communication methods such as Ethernet, Universal Serial Bus, IEEE 1394, serial communication and parallel communication may be used for the wired/wireless communicator, and infrared communication (Infrared) may be used. Radiation), Bluetooth (Bluetooth), home RF (Radio Frequency), and wireless communication methods such as wireless LAN (Wireless LAN) may be used.

The RGB controller 200 controls the lighting color and the blinking cycle of the LED display bar 300 differently according to information (eg, the number of waiting people, etc.) received from the number ticket issuing machine through a wired/wireless communication device. That is, the RGB controller 200 controls the lighting color and the blinking cycle of the LED display bar 300 differently according to the number of waiting people received from the number ticket issuing machine.

When the number of waiting people received from the number ticket issuing machine exceeds the set standard number of people, it is controlled to light in red.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the number of people on the waiting list is less than the standard number of 5 people, it is lit in blue color. On the contrary, as shown in FIG. to light up with color.

As described above, the best embodiment has been disclosed in the drawings and the specification. Although specific terms are used herein, they are used only for the purpose of describing the present invention, and are not used to limit the meaning or the scope of the present invention described in the claims. Therefore, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
