Description

Signal lighter displaying traffic signal by an image}

The present invention relates to a traffic light in which a traffic signal is displayed as an image, and more specifically, displays a traffic signal such as a pedestrian signal and a vehicle signal as a three-color image, and interlocks with the traffic signal to screen a public service advertisement or a neighboring area. The present invention relates to a traffic light for displaying an advertisement as an image.

In general, traffic lights are traffic lights that indicate traffic conditions in color for safe traffic order. The colors of traffic lights are red, green, and yellow, and the indications are different depending on the color. Yellow is indicated as a caution, but yellow is also used for road traffic.

Conventional traffic lights display three-color signals by passing the light of a light bulb, which is a light source, through the colored glass, so that yellow is orange and blue is green in the process of the light penetrating the colored glass. There is a confusing problem.

In addition, since the signals of three colors are repeatedly displayed according to a predetermined cycle, pedestrians may not know a signal change cycle or failure, and there is a problem that they feel bored and free while waiting for a progress signal.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to display a traffic signal such as a pedestrian signal or a vehicle signal as a three-color image, and in conjunction with the traffic signal, during a stop signal, This is to display a screening advertisement as a video.

Configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object is made as follows.

A first monitor displaying a traffic signal such as a vehicle signal and a pedestrian signal;

A second monitor displaying public service advertisements and commercial advertisements made up of text, video, etc .;

A transmission / reception unit for inputting / outputting traffic signals, public service announcements, and commercial advertisement data by wire or wireless connection with a broadband communication network or a local area network; a storage unit storing data output from the transmission / reception unit and data necessary for operating the system; A central processing unit for controlling an overall operation for displaying an advertisement in connection with traffic signals such as pedestrian signals and vehicle signals by comparing / analyzing data stored in the unit; and storing the data according to a control signal applied from the central processing unit And a video controller configured to separate the data stored in the unit into a traffic signal and an advertisement and to output a drive to the first and second monitors.

Hereinafter, the preferred configuration of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in detail as follows.

1 is a perspective view illustrating a traffic light in which a traffic signal is displayed as an image according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2 is a block diagram illustrating an image controller according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, a traffic light in which a traffic signal of the present invention is displayed as an image includes a first monitor 10 displaying a traffic signal such as a vehicle signal, a pedestrian traffic light, and advertisement information produced by a text or a video. And a video controller 30 connected to the second monitor 20 and the monitors 10 and 20 to control an overall operation for displaying an advertisement in conjunction with a traffic signal.

As the first monitor 10 and the second monitor 20, it is preferable to use a cathode ray tube (CRT), a liquid-crystal displays (LCD), and the like, and the signal is not limited as illustrated in FIG. 1. Depending on the scheme, multiple monitors can be used.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the image controller 30 includes a transceiver 31, a storage 32, a central processing unit 33, and a drive 34.

The transceiver 31 is connected to a broadband communication network such as the Internet, an intranet, or a local area network such as a LAN by wire or wirelessly to input / output various data such as a signal system or an advertisement.

For example, the data may be based on respective static image data representing three colors (blue, red, yellow) associated with a traffic signal indicating progress, stoppage, caution, etc. of a pedestrian or vehicle, and according to time, weather, and traffic volume. Traffic signal management data that sets waiting time, walking time, driving time, etc., various advertisement data produced to advertise shops and restaurants in the surrounding area where signals are installed, and displayed to warn drivers of safe driving. Contains various public service advertising data.

The storage unit 32 includes a first memory 32a in which data necessary for operating the system is stored, and a second memory 32b in which data transmitted from the transceiver unit 31 is stored.

The central processing unit 33 stores the data transmitted from the transceiver unit 31 in the second memory 32b, compares / analyzes the data stored in the second memory 32b, and compares the pedestrian signal and the vehicle. Controls the overall behavior for displaying advertisements in conjunction with traffic signals such as traffic lights.

The drive 34 separates the data stored in the second memory 32b into a traffic signal and an advertisement signal according to a control signal applied from the central processing unit 33, and the first and second monitors 10 and 20. Are printed respectively).

Referring to the operation and effects of the present invention made as described above are as follows.

First, in the case where a traffic signal system capable of displaying moving picture information of the present invention is installed on a road and used as a pedestrian or a vehicle traffic light, the central processing unit 30 is initialized by operating data stored in the first memory 32a. do.

In this case, the central processing unit 33 of the image controller 30 drives a control signal corresponding thereto to display a commercial advertisement or a public service advertisement by interlocking data stored in the second memory 32a with a traffic signal. Output to 34).

The drive 34 separates the data stored in the second memory 32b into a traffic signal and an advertisement according to a control signal applied from the central processing unit 33, and the traffic signal is transmitted to the first monitor 10. And the advertisement is output to the second monitor 20.

The first monitor 10 and the second monitor 20 display traffic signals and advertisements applied to the drive 34 so that the pedestrian or driver can check them.

At this time, the traffic signal displayed on the first monitor 10 is processed according to the change cycle set in the traffic signal management data stored in the second memory 32a, and the stop signal (red) and caution. Three-color signals, such as a signal (yellow), change periodically.

Subsequently, when the transmission and reception unit 31 transmits and receives data by wired or wirelessly connecting to a traffic signal management server or a server providing various traffic information and commercial information at a remote location, the traffic signal management data is changed or displayed to the user. PSAs and commercials can be managed remotely.

As described above, the present invention displays a traffic signal of three colors through a monitor, so that a signal close to the primary color can be displayed, and a pedestrian or a driver can display a public service advertisement or a commercial advertisement displayed on the monitor while waiting for a signal change. By watching, you can get a variety of information that can reduce the boredom and free time at rest.
