In the system according to the present invention, the exterior configuration of the fan is based on a well-known method, and will not be described. However, the overall system for controlling the implementation of the LED assembly in the main body will be described in detail.

2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a character implementation system according to the present invention.

As can be seen from Figure 2, the character implementation system according to the present invention speed detection module 110, block setting module 120, character input module 130, character implementation module 140, character storage module 150 It consists of a character display conversion module 160, the character flashing module 170, and is further provided with a communication module 180 by the USB port 60.

First, in the system according to the present invention, a method of implementing a specific character through the LED assembly 50 in the blade 40 that rotates according to whether or not the electrical contact of the blade is rotated the counter counting the clock pulse generated from the oscillator It is interlocked with the switch to determine the number of revolutions of the rotation speed of the wing 40 and the flashing state of the LED is made of a method, which will be omitted because it has been well mentioned in the above-mentioned prior art.

In addition, the character meaning in the present invention should be understood as a concept including all symbols, numbers, alphabets, Korean characters that can be implemented through the current mobile phone, and should not be understood as a concept limited to specific characters.

The speed sensing module 110 according to the present invention performs a function for determining the rotational speed, that is, RPM of the blade 40, which is provided in the main body 30 to the stop switch and the blade 40 in the stopped state. It is possible to calculate the number of revolutions determined by the contact of the rotary switch that is mounted and rotated by a predetermined time determined by a timer having a time measurement function.

Speed sensing module 110 is an important factor for determining the timing or pattern of blinking of each LED of the LED assembly 50, the character implementation under the assumption that such speed is maintained once the blade 40 rotates to reach a certain speed The module 140 transmits premise information for determining the blinking time of the LED, and the character implementation module 140 stops the character implementation when the detection speed detected by the speed detection module 110 does not reach a predetermined level. do.

3 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a function of a block setting module and an example of character input according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a process of inputting a character through a character input module according to the present invention.

As can be seen from Figure 3, the block setting module 120 is responsible for determining the representation position of the character, once to determine the block is displayed by determining the size, that is, the width / length of one character is represented The character implementation module 140, which will be described later, plays a role for determining from which point of the blade to be rotated (that is, the position where the first character starts in various character implementations).

For example, when the blade 40 is rotated by the block setting module 120 to determine the block and the display position of the character, the sample character (for example, 'A') begins to be displayed at the preset position. In this case, the portion where the sample character is implemented is implemented in a form in which the cursor C blinks and waits for the user's signal input, and the user's signal input is performed by operating the switches 30 of the operation panel. By operating the switch 30 to move C) left and right, the start position is determined, and the size of the cursor C is stepped by dividing the size of the cursor C into specific steps and pressing the switch 30 step by step. By increasing and decreasing the size, the size and starting position of the text are determined.

The character implementation module 140 has a function of displaying a character that can be distinguished from the rotating wing by determining the blinking time and the order of the LEDs to express a specific character in the rotating wing 40, which is linked with the character implementation program. do.

Character implementation program is to set the blinking order and blinking time for each LED of the LED assembly 50 for each of the various characters that can be displayed in the system according to the present invention, specifically, the wings (at a constant speed through the speed detection module 110) 40 has a function of providing a flashing pattern of a predetermined LED for displaying a specific character from the size or start position set in the block setting module 120 when detecting that the rotation is.

That is, the character implementation module 140 is set in conjunction with the function of the character implementation program to control the blinking order and time of each LED of the LED assembly 50 consisting of a plurality of unique values for each character to rotate the blade ( In 40), the characters are visible to the naked eye as if they were fixedly displayed.

The character input module 130 performs a function of receiving a character from a user by operating the switch 30 after the start position and size of the character are determined by the block setting module 130.

The character input module 130 is the most common case can be implemented by the switch 30 of the operation panel, in this case, the character input module 130 is the character change unit 133 and the character determination unit 134, subsequent characters It consists of an input unit 135 and a character input completion unit 136.

The character changing unit 133 has a function of changing and displaying a character at a specific position by operating a character conversion switch in a character input standby state formed in a blinking cursor C shape, and the character determining unit 134 has a character determination switch. The character input unit 135 has a function of eliminating the blinking state by the operation of determining the character of a specific position, the subsequent character input unit 135 automatically adjusts the movement of the cursor (c) by the character input unit 134 When it is determined, the cursor (c) is automatically moved to the next position to prepare to receive the next character, and the character input completion unit 135 switches the completion switch when all the characters to be displayed by the user are input. Press to transmit the input character pattern to the storage module.

Here, the character determination switch and the character input completion switch may be configured as one, and the setting of the switch may be possible to perform each unique function according to the time of pressing the switch.

For example, assuming that there are three switches 30 on the operation panel, the center switch is composed of a letter decision switch, an upper switch is an alphabet decision switch, and a lower switch is a symbol / numeric decision switch, and the cursor (C) blinks. If you want to display the alphabet after the character input standby state is executed, you can change the alphabet displayed by the cursor (C) as A, B, C according to the number of times you press the upper switch. Symbols can be expressed differently according to the number of times, and each character or symbol is determined by pressing the character determination switch shortly to eliminate flickering state, and the cursor (C) is moved to the next position. When it is determined, it functions as a character input completion switch that stores the input character pattern by pressing and holding the character determination switch It is possible to combine.
