Description

The utility model relates to video technology and the field of electronic technology and is intended as a device for receiving television signals, images, information and sound, displaying them on screens and using speakers, also for receiving television programs through a television signal, and directly from external devices - a multi-lens video camera (three lenses), three video cameras, from their playback devices - a VCR, DVD-player, media player, game consoles, computer, with the ability to display streaming video received from a local area network or the Internet. The multi-screen panoramic TV is designed to create the effect of direct presence and virtual reality, to obtain the illusion of participation in the scene with a 360-degree visual panoramic view.

A multi-screen Samsung MD230X3 (2011) monitor is known from the existing prior art, consisting of several independent screens, structurally combined into one multi-screen system, each screen has its own video inputs that are connected to different sources, the screens are combined into one control chain.

The disadvantage of this device is the impossibility of displaying a three-dimensional video image, the absence of TV tuners, the absence of a function for broadcasting television channels, the inability to display information without the help of additional connected devices and software, a limited scope of application, a limited viewing angle of 178 degrees, a limited angle of rotation of the side screens in the range from 0 degrees to minus 30 degrees.

Known invention in the form of personal computer hardware and stereo television systems, designed to reproduce volumetric video information by means of two screens and glasses of a separate field of view (RF patent No. 2413388, 2009). The device operates in two modes: in the first one reproduces stereo pairs from a PC video adapter or TV of a stereo television system, in the second - ordinary mono frames from the same equipment. The right and left frames of stereopairs are reproduced synchronously on two adjacent right and left screens (two eyes - two screens), the images of which are perceived by the user as three-dimensional through glasses of a separate field of view (the closest analogue).

The disadvantage of the invention is the mandatory use of additional devices and glasses, reception of only the finished video image without the ability to control the search and transmission of the image.

A device is also known - a TV LG SK 9500 (2018) with a multi-view function, picture-in-picture, picture and picture, which uses a technology consisting of one screen (body) with two built-in independent TV tuners, the so-called channel selectors, performing their own functions based on the operating system, which receive two television signals using the currently known universal remote controls and display these signals on a single screen, divided into two parts using known programs.

The disadvantage of a TV with a multi-view function, picture-in-picture, picture and picture is that the reception of television signals is limited to the reproduction of two different channels, unrelated to each other, the impossibility of receiving with simultaneous simultaneous playback of information, video images and display of volumetric video images without using special programs and themes more in real time on three screens (bodies) simultaneously with a viewing angle of 360 degrees, and the main disadvantage is that one picture is superimposed on another.

There is also known a method of forming a three-dimensional color virtual video image and a device for creating a virtual reality effect for a user (RF patent No. 2375840 C2 HO4N 9/00, 2006). The known invention involves the use of a binocular scanner attached to a helmet worn on the user's head, which creates the illusion of entering the virtual space by forming a three-dimensional image on the retina.

The disadvantage of this method is the mandatory use of a helmet, receiving only the finished video image without the ability to control the search and transmission of the image.

The problem to be solved by the claimed technical solution is to expand the arsenal of technical means in this area for receiving signals and information in the form of a three-dimensional panoramic video image at a qualitatively new level without the use of additional connected devices.

The task to be solved is the creation of a multi-screen panoramic TV in the form of a device consisting of three straight or curved widescreen TV screens, interconnected by a sliding and folding mechanism, hardware and software, an operating system, an interface, a power supply, with three built-in independent TV tuners (channel selectors) for receiving television signals with the functions of synchronizing the sweep of three television signals, information, video image and sound, for displaying them on screens and using speakers, in the form of a three-dimensional panoramic video image at a qualitatively new level, for example, for receiving information from a multi-lens video camera by the method of transmitting and receiving information (Eurasian patent No. 037243 G06T 15/08 H04N 5/222, 2014) in a more user-friendly 360-degree panoramic view with the ability to control the search and reception of an image, with a variable angle of rotation of the side screens from 0 degrees to minus 90 degrees.

The technical result achieved by the implementation of the utility model consists in creating comfortable conditions for the user for natural movements of his head and body when observing circular, panoramic images, volumetric panoramic video images, as well as expanding the scope of application due to the user's reception of the video image in a more user-friendly 360-degree view. the ability to control the search and receive images, or view broadcasts of any standard channels from one to three channels simultaneously, with the ability to play in real time simultaneously simultaneously on three screens (TVs) with different viewing angles.

The solution to this technical problem is that the following innovations are introduced:

creation of a device - a multi-screen panoramic TV, consisting of three widescreen screens (TVs), interconnected by a sliding and folding mechanism, hardware and software, an operating system, an interface, a power supply unit with three built-in independent TV tuners with functions for synchronizing the sweep of three televisions signals that provide reception of a television signal and information from a multi-lens video camera (three lenses), three independent video cameras, external devices transmitting video images, also with the ability to display streaming video received from a local area network or the Internet in the form of a three-dimensional panoramic video image at a qualitatively new level to receive information in a more user-friendly 360-degree view, and also in real time simultaneously synchronously on three screens (TVs) with different viewing angles to create a 360-degree panoramic image with the possibility control of the search and reception of the image, with a variable angle of rotation of the side screens from 0 degrees to minus 90 degrees, without the use of additional equipment and additional connected devices;

the connection of three screens (TVs) is carried out by means of known existing systems of synchronization, decoding and convolution of a signal, video image, which provides a user's viewing angle of 360 degrees, known hardware and software, an operating system, an interface;
