A well-known cooler is designed to dispense water only from an installed tank, which is not always convenient, since frequent replacement of an empty tank with a full one is necessary. In addition, the well-known cooler does not provide for advertising and information devices, which leads to inefficient use of retail and office space.

There is a known advertising and information device containing at least two advertising and information displays attached to the case and connected to the control unit of one vending machine or one terminal, and the advertising and information device is mounted on top of the vending machine or terminal (RU 92734 U1, 03/27/2010) .

The disadvantage of this device is the low efficiency of advertising. This is due to the fact that advertising material is provided regardless of the gender and age of the person using the device, while people of different age categories and sex belong to different target audiences for advertisers.

The closest analogue to the utility model is an automated vending machine for issuing purified drinking water, including a purifier for treating raw water, a reservoir for storing purified water, an electronic control unit and a dispensing container for storing and automatically dispensing water containers to the user (WO 2012032543 A1, 15.03 .2012).

In the known device there is no advertising and information device, which leads to inefficient use of retail and office space.

Utility Model Essence

The task to which the claimed utility model is directed is to eliminate the indicated drawbacks of known solutions, namely: creating a flow cooler containing a device for demonstrating advertising and information materials to users, as well as a means for analyzing user faces and a means for choosing based on analysis and display promotional and informational materials that are optimal for this particular person.

A flow cooler comprising a housing, a filter system for incoming water, a reservoir for storing purified water, an electronic control unit and a container for storing custom water containers, according to a utility model, further comprises a display for displaying advertising and information material, a video camera for capturing images of a user's face and a module processing and management. Moreover, the processing and control module contains storage means for storing advertising and information materials, is connected to a display and a video camera and is intended for analyzing a user's face in an image received from a video camera and for selecting a specific advertising and information material in a storage medium based on an analysis of a user's face for demonstration on display to this user.

In the particular case of a flow cooler, it further comprises audio output means for outputting sound accompaniment of advertising information material.

In another particular case, the flow cooler further comprises an ultraviolet disinfection system.

Analysis of the user's face in the image received from the video camera is carried out according to the following criteria: age, gender, ethnicity, glasses.

The electronic control unit is a touch panel with control buttons to select the water of the desired temperature.

In another particular case, the processing and control module is a computer. The computer can be configured to collect statistical information containing the number of users who used the cooler, the time that each user viewed the promotional information. The computer may further comprise a communication tool for connecting to a single control network via the Internet.

Due to the presence in the flow cooler of a display for demonstration of advertising information material, a video camera and a processing and control module for analyzing the user's face and for selecting, based on the analysis of a specific advertising and information material for demonstration to the user, the functionality of the flow cooler is expanded.

Detailed description of utility model

In the following description, for purposes of explanation, specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the utility model. However, it is obvious that new embodiments can be practiced without these specific details.

A flow cooler with a filtering system, on which an advertising and information display is installed, is designed to display commercials on the screen depending on the user who is currently using this device. The device analyzes the face of the person who uses the device and displays a video on the screen that contains the optimal content for that particular person. The device also provides statistics on people using the device.

The case of the device is made of stainless steel.

In the lower part there is a water filtration system with a storage tank of 10 liters. The filtration system consists of six filters and an ultraviolet lamp. The system has two additional tanks for cold and hot water. The device control is displayed on the touch panel, which consists of four keys: Cold / Warm / Hot water and a hot water safety button. Also on the board there is an indicator of the temperature of the Cold / Gore water.

At the top of the device, at eye level, a color monitor with stereo speakers is installed. A video camera is installed above the monitor.

At the back of the device is a computer that contains a processor (such as Intel i5), RAM, ROM, a system bus, BIOS, and an operating system (such as Windows OS).

The device is connected to power supply in an alternating current network of 220 V, and to water by a flexible 6 mm hose to the central water supply. The incoming water is filtered, disinfected with ultraviolet light and enters the storage tank. The client, going to the device, takes a cup from the sleeve and, putting it on the pallet, presses the touch key of the desired temperature.

As soon as the client approaches a distance of 20 cm, the camera picks up the face and sends the image for processing to a computer that determines the gender and age of the client. Having determined who is standing in front of him, the computer starts losing the commercial (video + audio), for women one, for men another. In addition, various commercials are played for different age groups of men and women. Additionally, the video camera can analyze the faces of users by ethnicity and the presence of points by the user. Then the computer analyzes the number of clients and the time of viewing ads. The computer is connected to a single control network via the Internet, which allows you to remotely fill video content as well as receive reverse analytics (number of husband / wife contacts, viewing time).

Means for detecting a person’s face in an image and means for recognizing a face are widely known in the art.

To select a specific video based on an analysis of the user's face, information provided by the advertiser on the target audience for each specific video is used. To further update this information, statistical information is collected.

An illustrative computer includes a processor, system memory, and a system bus. The system bus provides an interface for system components, including, but not limited to, system memory to the processor. The processor may be any of various commercially available processors. Dual microprocessors and other multiprocessor architectures can also be used as a processor. A system bus can be any of several types of bus structures, and can optionally be connected to a memory bus (with or without a memory controller), a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of commercially available bus architectures. System memory includes read-only memory (ROM) and random access memory (RAM). The basic input / output system (BIOS) is stored in non-volatile memory, for example, ROM, EEPROM, EEPROM, and the BIOS contains basic procedures that help transfer information between computer elements, for example, at startup. RAM may also include high-speed RAM, for example, static RAM for caching data.

Of course, it is impossible to describe all conceivable combinations of components or modules, but it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that many additional combinations and permutations are possible. Accordingly, the proposed solution is intended to cover all such changes, modifications and variations that correspond to the essence and scope of the utility model formula. In addition, to the extent that the term “includes” is used in the detailed description or in the claims, such a term is intended to be inclusive similarly to the term “comprising”, since “comprising” is interpreted when used as a transition word in a utility model formula .
