Showcase {SHOWCASE}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a showcase, and more particularly, to a showcase capable of displaying a stereoscopic content image around a display by using a hologram so that information related to the display can be grasped at a glance.

In general, exhibitions are held in showcases that allow visitors to safely exhibit jewelry, artifacts, treasures, luxury goods, and other expensive items. A showcase (showcase, showcase in synonyms) It is a place to display the goods. It is used for the purpose of making the display space with glass panels so that visitors can see the exhibits inside, and also to enhance the exhibits by illuminating the light using the lighting device.

Conventionally, a display article placed on the display case is provided below the display article and on the back of the display case, or by providing a panel next to the display case to provide information on the display article. However, since many contents can not be described in a limited space, it is difficult to understand the display article because the important contents are briefly explained, and there was a problem that the viewer had to search for information related to the information in the future.

In addition, since the shelf for displaying the shelf item is fixed, the spectator can not see the entire part of the shelf item at one point, and it is inconvenient to walk around the display case to see each part of the shelf item There is a problem that a sufficient viewing space should be secured around the display case.

In addition, it is preferable to adjust the display height according to the display article in order to display the display more efficiently. However, since the display stand is fixed in the past, the display height Can not be controlled.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0807868 discloses a display article rotating device for a display case that can rotate an article displayed inside a display case body and adjust a display height of a display article.

1 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration of a shelf product rotating apparatus according to the prior art. In this case, a rotary table 20 is provided at a lower end of a display space D provided inside of the showcase body 10, A rotating tube 40 is rotatably supported by a support bracket 60 at the center of the bottom of the main body 10 and is provided at the center of the lower end of the rotating table 20 on the inside of the rotating tube 40 And the lower end of the rotary pipe 40 is connected to the electric motor 30 through a power transmission belt (not shown), and the lower end of the rotary pipe 40 is connected to the rotary center shaft 21 of the rotary table 20, A height adjusting screw rod 22 screwed to the lower side of the lower rotary pipe 40 is fixedly installed and the height adjusting screw rod 22 pulled out to the lower end of the rotary pipe 40 is screwed into the tightening nut 23 So that the height of the rotary table 20 can be adjusted.

According to the related art, a display product (hereinafter referred to as "exhibition") installed on the upper surface of the rotary table 20 can be rotated left and right so that visitors can observe all four sides of the exhibit even if the viewer does not move , It is not necessary to secure a viewing space around the entire display case, and the display space can be greatly reduced. In addition, the display height can be adjusted by elevating and lowering the rotary table 20 to improve display efficiency.

However, it is possible to expect the effect of improving the shelf efficiency by simply rotating left and right the exhibition products held in the display space D by the rotational drive of the rotary table 20, There was still difficulty.

In addition, various devices have to be complicated in order to achieve the rotating structure of the rotary table 20, which has exposed the problem that the weight of the showcase (showcase) increases.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1349972 discloses an apparatus and method for displaying a hologram image obtained by embodying the same phase as a hologram image.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a hologram in-phase display device and method according to the related art, in which a hologram image is output to the upper side through a monitor, and a hologram image is displayed on the front side, the left side, It is possible to view the hologram image from the outside.

Here, a hologram (hologram) is a three-dimensional image which is three-dimensionally displayed in the same manner as a real object, and is made using the principle of holography. The principle of holography is that a beam of light from a laser is split into two beams, one of which is referred to as a reference beam, and the light of an object is referred to as an object beam. Since the object light is the light reflected from each surface of the object, the phase difference (distance from the object surface to the screen) varies depending on the object surface. At this time, the unmodified reference light interferes with the object light. The hologram is displayed on the screen by this interference fringe.

Korean Patent No. 10-1349972 has solved the problem that the various devices are complicatedly configured to achieve the rotating structure of the rotary table, thereby increasing the weight, but it is difficult to see the top and bottom of the exhibit still, The information needed to understand the exhibits displayed on the showcase is still limited and limited in limited space, so that it is still difficult to understand the exhibits.

The viewer can determine whether the viewer is approaching the showcase 100 through a sensor unit (not shown) installed at the top of the showcase 100 and installed in the showcase 100 to face the front of the showcase 100, A hologram content providing apparatus 310 for providing a stereoscopic content image using a hologram; And

And a display unit 210 attached to a front surface of the display 240 displayed in the exhibition space 270 and transmitting an image provided by the hologram contents providing apparatus 310 to the viewer.

The housing has a laminated structure including a loop housing 300 at the upper end and a base housing 400 at the lower end with respect to the main housing 200.

In the case of the main housing 200, the display space 270 is provided for displaying the display 240. The display unit 210 is installed on the front surface of the display space 270, In the case of the display unit 210, the display unit 210 is installed in an oblique manner from below the front surface of the main housing 200 to the upper side of the rear surface. In addition, the front surface of the main housing 200 is made of a front glass 260 so that the display means 210 can be seen, and the remaining three surfaces are made of walls. At this time, the rear surface allows the display 240 to be inserted into or withdrawn from the main housing 200, and the display unit 210 and the front glass 260 can be easily installed in the main housing 200, (230).

The hologram content providing apparatus 310 includes a hologram content providing apparatus 310 that is located at an upper end of the main housing 200 and provides a content image using a hologram in the case of the loop housing 300, And outputs an image toward the front surface of the roof housing 300. At this time, since the output image must reach the display means 210 in the main housing 200, the output image is reflected to the display means 210 in front of the hologram contents providing device 310, (320). At this time, the roof housing door 330 is configured to facilitate maintenance and management of the hologram contents providing apparatus 310 and the mirror 320 on the rear surface of the roof housing 300.

In the case of the mirror 320, the loop housing 300 may be provided in a similar manner to the display means 210 in order to transmit the image output from the hologram content providing apparatus 310 to the display means 210 at the lower side. It is laid in an oblique line from the lower front to the upper rear.

However, the oblique angles of the display unit 210 and the mirror 320 may be the same or different, and it is preferable that the angle is adjustable so that the image can be properly transmitted according to the viewer.

In the case of the base housing 400, a storage unit 410 for storing and managing images output from the hologram content providing apparatus 310 and a hologram content providing apparatus 310 for storing data stored in the storage unit 410, And a control unit 420 for transmitting and controlling the control signal. At this time, a base housing door 430 is formed on the rear surface of the base housing 400 to facilitate maintenance, management and operation of the storage unit 410 and the control unit 420.

Here, the process of delivering the image output from the hologram content providing apparatus 310 to the viewer is as follows. The image output from the hologram content providing apparatus 310 is reflected by the mirror 320 and reaches the display means 210 and enters into the eyes of the viewer at the front of the showcase 100, And a half mirror 320 (half mirror).

The half mirror 320 is a mirror made to reflect a part of light and transmit a part of it, and also serves as a mirror characteristic and a glass characteristic. For example, when a dark region is viewed through a half mirror 320 in a bright region, a mirror characteristic is shown. When a bright region is viewed through a half mirror 320 in a dark region, glass characteristics are shown. You can see bright areas in dark areas, but you can not see dark areas in bright areas. In addition, when both sides of the half mirror 320 are bright, the half mirror 320 simultaneously exhibits mirror characteristics and glass characteristics, and the two areas are simultaneously displayed.

The showcase 100 may display the illumination 250 on the display 240 located behind the display unit 210 in the exhibition space 270 by using the property of the half mirror 320, Since the display unit 210 is brighter than the viewer on the display unit 210 and the display unit 210 displays the glass characteristic around the viewer, the spectators can view the showcase 100 as usual, The display 240 can be viewed.

At this time, when the illumination 250 illuminating the display 240 is turned off and an image related to the display 240 is output using the hologram contents providing apparatus 310, The viewer is brighter than the exhibit 240 and the display means 210 exhibits a mirror characteristic with respect to the viewer so that the viewer can not view the exhibit 240 through the display means 210 Only the content image related to the exhibit 240 provided by the hologram content providing apparatus 310 is viewed.

When both sides of the display unit 210 are bright, the display unit 210 displays the mirror characteristic and the glass characteristic at the same time, so that the viewer can see the display 240 and the hologram contents providing apparatus 310, The user can view the content image related to the display 240 provided at the same time.

Here, the content image may provide a variety of information related to the display 240 such as a stereoscopic view of the display 240, an origin of the display 240, an interesting anecdote, and the like. Therefore, the viewer can view the three-dimensional appearance such as front, rear, side, top, and bottom views of the exhibit 240 provided with the image together with the actual exhibit 240 through the display means 210, It is possible to receive a great deal of help in understanding the exhibit 240 through various information of the exhibit 240 as well as related information without changing the viewing position.

The sensor unit installed in the inside of the showcase 100 faces the front of the showcase 100 and senses approaching of the viewer around the showcase 100 to automatically turn on / off the hologram content providing apparatus 310 . When the hologram contents providing apparatus 310 is turned off and the illumination unit 250 is illuminated on the display unit 240, the display unit 240 becomes noticeable to viewers who are far away.

In addition, when the hologram contents providing apparatus 310 is always turned on, the hologram contents providing apparatus 310 may be turned on / off because electric energy may be wasted.

For this purpose, the user must detect when the viewer is close to the showcase 100, so that the sensor unit is installed facing the front of the showcase 100. The sensor unit may include an infrared sensor, a thermal sensor, May be selectively used.

If the content image provided through the hologram contents providing apparatus 310 is provided without change, only a difference in degree of space can be provided between the guide panel visible in the general exhibition will be. Therefore, the content image provided through the hologram content providing apparatus 310 can be variously changed. As a method for changing the content, the viewer presses a button installed somewhere around the showcase 100, However, in the present invention, it is preferable to detect changes in the line of sight or behavior of the viewer and to change the content image through the detection.

Therefore, when the viewer moves from one side to the other, the contents image changes from a front view to a side view of the exhibit 240, or from the front view to the exhibit 240, And an operation recognizing unit 220 for tracking the position of the viewer to change the contents from the origin to the age of the viewer.

At this time, the motion recognizing unit 220 is simply composed of a genre or a key in a location identification device.

On the other hand, the Genpla described above is based on the stereo vision method applying the human visual system, but it is applied to the spatial variation of the stereo camera by modifying the optical follow method applied only to the temporal variation during the time, Kinect is a device that can realize the matching and realize the stereo matching configuration by utilizing the least amount of prior information. Kinect is an Xbox 360 that can experience game and entertainment using the body of the user without a controller. It was first introduced as "Project Natal" on June 1, 2009 at E3, and announced the official name "Kinect" at E3 2010. It is a device that recognizes the player's motion by motion capture with a camera module installed, and recognizes the voice by a micro-module.

A situation that can be achieved when the viewer comes to see the exhibit 240 displayed in the exhibition space 270 of the showcase 100 will be described by way of example with reference to the showcase 100 ).

The display 240 displayed in the exhibition space 270 of the showcase 100 will be illuminated by the illumination of the illumination 250 and will be visible to the viewer at a distance, The hologram contents providing apparatus 310 will be in a standby state in which the hologram contents providing apparatus 310 can not operate. The viewer will come to the showcase 100 where the exhibit 240 is displayed to view the exhibit 240. The sensor unit senses that the viewer is close to the showcase 100 and prepares for operation of the hologram content providing apparatus 310. The viewer stands in front of the showcase 100 to watch the display 240 The hologram contents providing apparatus 310 provides an image containing information related to the exhibit 240 prepared by the hologram contents providing apparatus 310.

At this time, various contents such as a perspective view, a front view, a side view, a rear view, a bottom view, and a sectional view of the exhibit 240 are disposed around the exhibit 240, as mentioned above.

In addition, when the viewer moves to the left or right side of the left or right side of the exhibit 240 or tilts the body of the exhibit 240, the view of the viewer moving or leaning among the various contents images is enlarged, The bottom surface, and the bottom surface of the display unit 240. As described above, when the motion recognition unit 220 recognizes the position or behavior of the viewer as described above, The hologram contents providing apparatus 310 provides the corresponding state after the hologram contents are provided.

In addition, even if the viewer does not move his / her body or body, he / she may recognize the direction indicated by the hand of the viewer to provide a desired direction, or may follow the viewer's gaze to recognize the direction It can also provide the direction of the direction.

The hologram contents providing apparatus 310 may include information related to the display 240 from the content images provided through the hologram contents providing apparatus 310, such as the gesture, hand gesture, or gaze of the viewer, When the viewer views the information provided in the scenes of the contents image and reads the information, he or she must hand over the information to the next scene to give new information. Conventionally, In this case, some people may feel long to be provided, and others may feel short. Therefore, it is preferable to track the gesture, hand gesture, or gaze as described above, and then pass it to the next scene after the information of the scene provided by the content image is viewed.

In the case of the exhibit 240 having a small size, it is sometimes difficult for many people to view at once. In order to solve this problem, only one part of the inside of the showcase 100 can be seen. However, if the inside of the showcase 100 can be seen through the side and the rear, even if the exhibit 240 is small in size, A person can be surrounded around the exhibit 240 to watch the exhibition.

Although only the case where the front surface of the main housing 200 is made of glass has been described above, the glass can be constructed so that the inside and the outside of the front and rear surfaces can be seen.

That is, the showcase 100, which is the glass, and the showcase 100, in which the slope is the glass, can be configured in addition to the showcase 100 using the glass only as the front surface. In this case, The hologram contents providing apparatus 310 may be installed in the hologram contents providing apparatus 310 or may provide the same image on three or more slopes using one hologram contents providing apparatus 310.

In other words, in the case of the showcase 100 having three or more slopes made of the glass, it is possible to provide the same image to three or more slopes at the same time and to provide the same image to a plurality of people at the same time. However, The first surface provides an image of the exhibit 240 and the second and third surfaces (or fourth surface) provide images associated with the exhibit 240, such as the origin or age of the exhibit 240, So that the user can understand the entire display 240 if the showcase 100 exhibiting the exhibit 240 is rotated once.
