Description

{Smart signs device}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a smart sign board device, and more particularly, to a smart sign board device that enables a direction and a display sign of a signboard to be varied in cooperation with a smart device of a user,

Generally, a sign is a kind of visual graphic created to show information to people. It is mainly used for providing information such as setting a road or a place inside or outside a building to inform the road.

These signs are unidirectional and one-sided because a large number of people should be able to obtain information. That is, the conventional direction sign only displays fixed information, and the direction of the sign is also fixed.

In the case of signs currently installed in India, there are a number of signposts connected to one of the pillars. Each signpost identifies fixed milestones that guide major facilities such as government offices and sightseeing spots.

These signs lead to the problem of low conspicuity that only the contents of the directional signs indicating the direction of progress and vertical direction can be confirmed from the viewpoint of pedestrians, or the contents of the directional signs installed in dark areas are difficult to confirm.

Particularly, the direction sign installed below the roadside tree is further deteriorated in visibility, and it is difficult to provide information to the driver as well as the pedestrian.

In addition, there are limitations in expressing characters in various countries, so there is a problem in that it is difficult to guide the route to foreigners.

Further, it is difficult to add, remove, or change contents for replacing the information of the signboard, and it is difficult to remove and install the signboard if a plurality of signboards are installed on one of the landmarks.

In addition, when a new sign is added, there is a problem that the unity of the existing sign and the design is frequently hindered.

Furthermore, due to the shortage of information on the signpost, navigation using smart devices is widely used, but there are frequent safety accidents due to the use of smart devices while walking.

And the terminology used herein is for the purpose of illustrating embodiments and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. The singular forms herein include plural forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Brief Description of Drawings FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG.

1 and 2, a smart sign device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a sign board 200 coupled to a support stand 100, a drive motor 400 for rotating the sign board 200, A control module 600 for controlling the sign board 200 and the driving motor 400 and a beacon module 800 for providing customized information to the control module 600.

First, the sign board 200 is formed with an LED module 220, and outputs predetermined information contents.

The signboard 200 allows the LED module 220 to rapidly reflect the contents to be newly announced and output the contents, thereby improving the visibility regardless of the day and night, and enabling a clean urban image to be constructed.

In addition, it is possible to change the contents to be transmitted anytime and anywhere by interlocking with the control module 600 to be described later, and it is possible to collectively change the messages of the signs scattered in various places.

In addition, by turning off the power for a period of time in which the operation is unnecessary, unnecessary power consumption can be prevented, and management costs due to frequent content changes can be greatly reduced.

In addition, various types of contents such as text, images, and moving images are provided through the LED module 220 to induce pedestrians' interest.

Next, the driving motor 400 is mounted between the support stand 100 and the sign board 200 to rotate the sign board 200 about the support stand 100.

This driving motor 400 is controlled by a control module 600, which will be described later, and is further controlled by information received from an adjacent smart device.

That is, the drive motor 400 performs a reactive operation for the user who owns the smart device.

Next, the control module 600 variably controls the information content output through the signboard 200 and the driving motor 400.

That is, by controlling the image displayed through the LED module 220 and controlling the rotation direction of the driving motor 400, the signboard 200 can be utilized as a signboard 200 that is bidirectional and can be used for various purposes, rather than a unidirectional one-way signboard.

Next, the beacon module 800 receives user-customized information from a smart device within a certain range and provides the customized information to the control module 600.

That is, the control module 600 controls the LED module 220 and the driving motor 400 of the signboard 200 according to the customized information provided to the beacon module 800.

Thus, it becomes possible to provide customized or reactive content perceived by the user. For example, it is possible to recognize peripheral users of a sign by interworking with a smart device and a beacon, and provide customized information such as a route guide, a tourist information guide, a city information guide, and advertisement provision suitable for the user.

Here, the beacon module refers to a short range wireless communication device based on a Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) protocol, and can communicate with devices within about 70 m. These beacon modules are highly accurate enough to distinguish between 5cm and 10cm units, and all devices can be connected at all times with low power consumption.

When the user installs the application on a smartphone, a tablet PC, or a wearable device, the beacon module may transmit a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) message, which allows a user to locate a user within a radius of 70 m and transmit a message, Use smartphone local communication technology utilized.

And since the data communication protocol used in the beacon module conforms to the standard of BLE, it can be supported by any terminal supporting BLE 4.0. The arrival distance of such a beacon signal is about 70 m, and there is a difference in the reach distance of the signal from the NFC technique capable of bi-directional communication only through contact within 4 to 5 cm.

3, at least two or more of the signs and the driving motors may be arranged to correspond to each other. At this time, if the respective signs are located on the same vertical line, the signs can be extended to multiple displays according to the setting signal of the control module.

That is, when the signs are located on different vertical lines, each of the signs outputs different information contents as illustrated in FIG. 3- (a). When at least two of the signs are located on the same vertical line As illustrated in FIG. 3- (b), the signs on the vertical line are extended to multiple displays to output one information content.

Here, increasing the number of signs from one to several (n) means that a variety of new services can be provided. In addition, as illustrated in Fig. 3- (a), the number of destinations that can be guided at a specific moment increases from one to n, and the language that can be guided can also increase.

In addition, the unit information can be displayed as illustrated in FIG. 4 through a plurality of signs arranged.

FIG. 4- (a) illustrates a single-step individual display for each sign rotating individually, providing orientation and constant information while rotating 360 degrees, and displaying location-based or destination- Can be displayed.

FIG. 4- (b) illustrates a two-stage display for two adjacent signs. It is possible to simultaneously display a single-stage individual direction guide and a two-stage banner advertisement, Message can be displayed.

FIG. 4- (c) illustrates a three-level display for three adjacent signs. A large banner advertisement including three levels can be displayed, and a three-level personal message as well as a three-line message can be displayed.

In addition, the information processing apparatus may further include a communication module 900 that receives the information content data from at least two content providing servers.

The communication module 900 provides the information content data to the control module 600 and outputs the information content data through the sign 200. [

That is, it is not necessary to replace the signboard 200 by receiving the content data provided at a remote site at any time and outputting the received content data through the signboard 200, thereby greatly reducing the maintenance cost. For example, the content providing server may provide a traffic information system or provide a parking space of a parking lot.

The proximity sensor 300 and / or the illuminance sensor 500 may be mounted on the support pedestal 100 or the sign board 200 and the LED module 220 of the sign board 200 may be mounted on the proximity sensor 300 and / or the illuminance sensor 500, the LED brightness can be varied. Thus, it is possible to secure visibility according to the situation and save power.

According to the embodiments of the present invention described so far, the following effects can be expected.

First, it is possible to recognize peripheral users of a sign by interworking with a smart device and a beacon, and to provide personalized information according to situations such as a route guidance, a tourist information guide, a city information guide, and an advertisement provision for the user.

Secondly, it is possible to guide multiple destinations with only one smart signboard, and it is possible to provide a route guidance service to pedestrians in various directions through a rotating signboard.
