[Modes for Carrying out the Invention]
The digital label of the present invention is affixed to clothes, hats and bags by conventional ways of using adhesive or sewing. Other adhering means like buttons or pins are also available. This label is, of course, also attachable to electronic home appliances, office goods, goods for leisure.
The digital label of the present invention is constructed with a body(2) and a supporter(7) as shown in Fig. 2. The body(2) comprises a panel(3) in elliptical shape, an LCD(4) surrounded by the panel(3), a plurality of input keys(5), and a body case(6) containing a driving circuit as illustrated in the Fig 5 The body case(6) has screw-driven caps(9, 10) in the rear for easy change of enclosed small-sized batterιes(7, 8) which supply power to the driving circuit and has, as shown in the Fig 3, a πm portιon(11 ) at which the body case(6) is detachably inserted, and a groove portιon(12) having a semicircular groove formed along with the rim portιon(11 ) Referring to the Fig 3, a circuit base panel(13) encompassing the LCD(4) is installed inside the body case(6) with a transparent protecting cover(14) to protect the LCD(4) In the circuit base panel(13), parts for the driving circuit of the LCD(4) are mounted and a contacting pattern(15) corresponding to the input keys(5) and contacting poιnts(16) of the batteπes(7, 8) are printed or installed thereon The panel(3) and the body case(6) are assembled by adhesive or bolting connection
The supporter(17) is for supporting the body(2) detachable from the front and also for being attached to material of the goods, comprising a base(18) to be fixed to the material by sewing and a body holder(19) adhered to the base(18) The base(18) can be made by synthetic resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene, or leather The body holder(19) made by an elastic material such as rubber having a inner rim portιon(20) open to be easily and closely combined with the rim portιon(11 ) of the body case(6) A protrusion portιon(21 ) with protuberant ridge having semicircular section is formed along the inner rim portιon(20) to be inserted into the groove portιon(12) of the body case(6) Reference No 22 of the Fig 3 illustrates thread after sewing It is, of course, possible to substitute the supporter(17) with other fixing tools such as buttons or pins
Combined with the body holder(19) of the supporter(17) which is sewed on the the material of the goods such as clothes, hats or bags as shown in the Fig 3, the body(2) is hooked at the groove portιon(21 ) on the inner rim portιon(20) of the body holder(19) so that it shall not be accidentally released from the body holder(19) unless it is pushed by force from outside When it is necessary to disassemble the body(2) from the supporter(17) for washing or changing the batterιes(7, 8), the body(2) can be separated by applying force forward from the inside of the mateπal(23) of the goods As the body holder(19) is of elastic material, with the force the inner rim portιon(20) is widened so that the protrusion portιon(21 ) of the body holder(19) is released and separated from the groove portιon(12) of the body case(6)
Fig 4 shows another disassembling structure wherein the body and the supporter of the digital label according to present invention are separated to the reverse direction of the Fig 3, that is, backward Under the structure, the body case(6) of the body(2) has its front edge exposed and the body holder(19) of the supported 17) further has a restraining jaw(25) formed at the front end of the inner rim portιon(20) Meantime, an openιng(26) big enough for the body(2) to pass is formed at the mateπal(23) of the goods A zippered pocket(22) is prepared to cover the openιng(26) at inner side of the materιal(22)
When the body(2) is pushed inwardly as represented by an arrow in the Fig 4, being detached from the supporter(17), the body(2) is released into the pocket(26) through the openιng(26) of the materιal(23) The body(2) can be taken out from the pocket(26) when the zιpper(27) is opened With this structure, the body(2) would be stored safely in the pocket(26) even if it happens to be separated from the supporter(17) by occasional exterior force ruling out the possible missing of the body(2) unknowingly This structure is, in particular, good for sports wears
The Fig 5 shows a driving circuit of LCD displayer (4) mounted on the digital label(1 ) according to the present invention The driving circuit comprises a mιcrocomputer(30) for controlling, a key portιon(31 ) to input signals from the keys into the mιcrocomputer(30), a memory(32) for saving executable program data, product information and other information inputted by keystroke, an oscιllator(33) for generating clock pulse according to the control of the mιrco-computer(30), a displaying portιon(34) having the LCD(4) for displaying saved or inputted data subject to the control of the mιcro-computer(30), and a back lιght(35) to lightening the LCD(4) of the displaying portιon(34) to make it perceivable in the darkness Here, the mιcro-computer(30) usually has an embedded memory In this case, the aforementioned memory(32) is not needed
In the driving circuit, the mιrco-computer(30) conducts a program having a control routine subject to the operation of the inputting key to select action mode and, according to the action mode, save in the memory(32) or display at the LCD(4) of the displaying portιon(34) the information selected from the memory(32) For instance, it is illustrated below how a user operates the input keys(5) to start operation of the digital label and input data In the Fig 6a, three input keys(5) are power key(5a), light key(5a) and menu key(5c) With a first stroke of the power key(5a), the LCD(4) is on, and with a second stroke, it is off Preferably, when it is on, supplier's trademark or logo appears on the LCD(4) as shown in the Fig 6a More preferably, the information displayed on the LCD(4) blinks or varies for attracting consumers' attention
With a first stroke, the light key(5b) turns on the back lιght(35) so that the LCD(4) can be clearly seen in the darkness at the display mode as illustrated in the Fig 6a With a second stroke, the back lιght(35) is turned off The light key(5b) also has function under the input mode to input letters or figures along with the menu key(5c) as illustrated in the Fig 6b The menu key(5c) shifts the screen of the LCD(4)from display mode in Fig 6a to input mode in Fig 6b and also used for inputting letters and/or figures as the light key(5b) does In the display mode of the LCD(4), letters and figures are inputted in the following manners By pushing the menu key(5c) one time in the display mode as shown in the Fig 6a, the mode is shifted into the input mode as shown in the Fig 6b In this input mode, with a push on the light key(5b), figure-input mode starts and with one more push, letter-input mode starts Once each mode has started, figures appear one by one blinking in order of 0, 1 , 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 and letters in order of "A, B, C, , X, Y, Z, -, /, " at the present position of a cursor When a desired figure or letter blinks, it can be selected and placed at the present position of the cursor by pushing the menu key(5c) Then the cursor moves to the next position In the same way, figures or letters can be inputted one by one as shown in the Fig 6c When all selection is completed, inputting is finished by selecting "*" After certain period of time, for instance 5 seconds, when the screen remains as illustrated in the Fig 6d, the screen automatically changes into display mode displaying what has been selected and inputted
The inputting can be conducted in other ways than the above-mentioned way and also various functions, such as saving the inputted data into the memory(32) or searching the saved data out of the memory(32) can be conducted by properly combining 3 input keys(5, 5a, 5b, 5c)
[ Industrial Applicability]
As explained in the above embodiment, the digital label according to the present invention can provide more various product information including supplier's brand and logo so that it can effectively build up reliability from the consumers In addition, consumers by themselves can input and display figures and letters what they want so that the label works in a consumer-oriented way to meet their varying request Therefore, it works well for enhancing product's reliability and advertisement to attract consumer's attention to buy the products
Also this digital label according to the present invention is effective in public relations when it used for a uniform of an organization or company It can be also used as a name tag. In addition to the functions as a label, the digital label according to this invention can be used as a sales promotion gift or accessory such as breastpin, buckle, key holder.
