Description

The utility model relates to advertising technology, and more specifically to an advertising and information system designed to display advertising and information content that is dynamically updated from external devices and over the network.

Known advertising and information system containing a power source, a monitor designed to display video information, a processor module-player for video information connected to it, built-in memory (RF application No. 99113746 from 08.28.2001, class G09F 27/00).

A disadvantage of the known technical solution is the lack of dynamic updating of information.

The technical problem to which the claimed utility model is directed is the ability to dynamically update content intended for display from an external source (computer, payment terminal, etc.). The device allows demonstrating successively advertising and other information (both static and video) recorded in various graphic and video formats (JPEG, AVI, MPEG2, MPEG4, etc.), including with sound, which distinguishes the proposed device from static and dynamic advertising stands and billboards. In addition, the proposed advertising and informational allows you to update the content intended for display as in automatic mode (by replacing / adding / deleting files on the storage medium used in the device) from an external control device (computer, payment terminal, etc.) over a network, from a controlling USB host, or through other communication channels, or in “manual” mode (either by replacing memory cards, a hard disk or other storage medium used in the device, or, if necessary, using this function and the corresponding modification of the device, by connecting an external drive, for example, a USB disk with which the device exchanges data automatically or at the command of a user).

The technical problem is solved in that in an advertising and information system containing a power source, a monitor designed to

video information display, a processor module video player connected to it, built-in memory, a processor module video player equipped with a controlling USB host for connecting to a USB port or a USB splitter, as well as a LAN host for connecting to a local network.

Figure 1 presents a block diagram of an advertising information system.

The advertising and information system contains a power supply 1 (standard 12 V), a monitor 2, designed to display video information, a processor module 3 connected to it, a video player, built-in memory 4 (HDD and / or SD / MMC / CF drive, USB disk connected to the device or other storage medium USB connection to a USB port or USB splitter via wireless channels (for example, infrared, Bluetooth, WiFi, COM port and / or other communication channels to a computer or other device (e.g. wireless mod him), which performs dynamic updating of information.Also a modem or other device for updating information can be built into the device itself, and in it the processor module 3-video player is equipped with a controlling USB host 5 for connecting to a USB port or USB splitter, and also LAN-host 6 for connecting to a local network.

The main differences from existing devices are:

- full autonomy (provided by its own video storage device and its own processor);

- flexibility and scalability (the number of monitors in one local network is not limited, from one USB host it is limited to 127 monitors), however when connecting a standard monitor for similar purposes, for example, as an additional advertising monitor in payment terminals, the number of additional monitors is limited by the number of video outputs a computer, which is usually not more than 2 on one video card, or by the number of additional video cards installed, which is also limited;

- the ability to power all components of the device from a direct current with a voltage of 12 V (which allows you to power the system from standard types of power supplies used in computer technology, payment terminals, etc. and batteries, and also increases the electrical safety of the system, however, if necessary, it can a different supply voltage must be applied, as well as built-in power sources, for example, batteries;

- compatibility with the most common standards of data transfer and storage (USB, UTR, LAH, SD / MMC / CF / HDD, if necessary IrDA, Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.

- if necessary, the device is executed in a vandal proof housing and / or in a street version (resistant to temperature, humidity, etc.)

These advantages allow you to use this system not only as part of a payment terminal, but also as:

- a separate advertising module;

- part of the vending equipment;

- a single network (panels, panoramas, etc.), forming a single information space;

- an element of programmable active decoration.

Claims (1)

An advertising and information system containing a power source, a monitor for displaying video information, a processor module for playing video information connected to it, a built-in memory, characterized in that the processor module for playing video information is equipped with a controlling USB host for connecting to a USB port or a USB splitter, as well as a LAN host for connecting to a local network.
