The individual room (R) being used or the individual room (R) to be terminated use can be easily confirmed to the user, the road screen or weather conditions can be confirmed in real time through the advertisement screen (42). In addition, the display 40 may transmit various promotional contents to the user through the advertisement screen 42.

In addition, since the advertisement information may be stored in the advertisement storage unit 83, the display 40 may repeatedly output the advertisement information stored through the screen splitter 84, and the advertisement information input to the advertisement input unit 82. May be output directly through the screen splitter 84, so that the advertisement information may be provided quickly.

In addition, the display 40 may provide the road situation or the weather situation in real time when the output advertisement information is a sentence or image indicating the road situation or the weather situation, and the advertisement information to be output is the promotion contents of the contractor contracted with the manager. In this case, the revenue from the advertisement output may be provided to the manager.

In addition, the display 40 can control the output of the advertisement according to the detection state of the user detection unit 81, so that the user can double the advertisement effect by outputting the advertisement only in the adjacent state, otherwise the user in the adjacent state Only the schematic and the list are output so that the user can easily check the individual room (R) to stop the advertisement being displayed.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 1, the advertisement provider may further include an advertisement change unit 86 and an alternate time counter 88. The advertisement shift unit 86 controls the operation of the advertisement input unit 82 and the advertisement storage unit 83 to alternately provide road, weather, or promotion contents to the screen splitter 84. That is, the advertisement shift unit 86 alternately provides the screen division unit 84 with the road situation, the weather situation, or the advertisement contents stored in the advertisement storage unit 83 input to the advertisement input unit 82. The advertisement shift unit 86 controls the advertisement input unit 82 to provide road or weather conditions to the screen splitter 84, and controls the advertisement storage unit 83 to display the promotional contents. To provide.

The shift time counter 88 counts the shift time so that road conditions, weather conditions, or promotional contents are alternately output on the display 40, and provides the shift time unit 86 to the advertisement shift unit 86. Accordingly, the advertisement shift unit 86 controls the operation of the advertisement input unit 82 and the advertisement storage unit 83 during the time set by the shift time counter 88 to sequentially set the road situation, the weather situation, or the promotion contents for the set time. To the screen divider 84. For this reason, the display 40 sequentially outputs road conditions, weather conditions, or promotional contents for a set time to provide various information to the user. For example, the display 40 may output the road situation for about 30 seconds to 5 minutes, and then output the weather situation for about 30 seconds to 5 minutes, and then output the promotional contents for about 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Of course, the display 40 may sequentially output both road conditions, weather conditions, and promotional contents. Alternatively, the display 40 may output only two of them.
