Abstract

The method involves using the front of a large building, having windows (21,22) arranged in a regular pattern, to produce a display by varying the brightness of display elements (2). The display elements may be single windows, groups of windows. The respective light sources of the display elements are selectively switched by remote control. The lighting installed in the rooms of the building may be used as the light sources, and pref. have delay-free switch-on. The remote control effects the switching of the light sources via networked control signals. 3x5 elements may be used for low-resolution display, e.g. of time, date, temp. etc., and the illuminable areas between windows are used for increased resolution. USE - E.g. for advertising.

Description

Für eine weithin sichtbare Ausgabe von zumeist aktuellen Informationen werden Großdisplays eingesetzt und z. B. an verkehrsreichen Plätzen aufgestellt oder an Gebäudefassaden montiert.For a widely visible output of mostly current information large displays are used and z. B. in busy places installed or mounted on building facades.

Solche Großdisplays werden insbesondere für Werbungszwecke auch indirekt dadurch genutzt, daß sie die Aufmerksamkeit auf sich bzw. auf ihren Standort lenken, indem sie keine statische Anzeige (Plakat, Dia), sondern in kurzen Intervallen wechselnde Informationen ausgeben (z. B. Uhrzeit, Datum, Temperatur, Werbung, Kurznachrichten, Schlagzeilen . . .). Der erzielbare Werbeeffekt bzw. die erzeugte Auffälligkeit hängen wesentlich von der Anzeigengröße ab und erreichen sehr bald die Grenze der Finanzierbarkeit unter wirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten.Such large displays are also used especially for advertising purposes used indirectly by drawing attention to themselves or direct to their location by not displaying a static display (poster, Slide), but output changing information at short intervals (e.g. time, date, temperature, advertising, short messages, headlines . . .). The achievable advertising effect or the conspicuousness generated depend largely on the size of the ad and will reach it very soon Limit of financial viability from an economic point of view.

Es stellte sich daher die Aufgabe, ein Verfahren zur Anzeige von Informationen sowie eine extrem große und auffällige Anzeige mit vertretbarem Aufwand zu schaffen.It was therefore the task of a method for displaying Information as well as an extremely large and eye-catching advertisement to create reasonable effort.

Zur Lösung des ersten Teils der Aufgabe dient ein Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 1; Ausgestaltungen sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 4 angegeben. Die Lösung des zweiten Teils erfolgt mit einer Vorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 5; Ausgestaltungen sind in den Ansprüchen 6 bis 8 angegeben. Somit kann als "Großdisplay" die gesamte Fassade eines hinreichend großen Gebäudes bzw. Gebäudekomplexes mit seinen zumeist regelmäßig angeordneten Fenstern genutzt werden, wenn die fast immer schon vorhandene Raumdecken- bzw. Fenster-Beleuchtungen fensterweise von z. B. einer Steuerungszentrale aus individuell geschaltet wird. Das ist mit Steuerungen und Baugruppen, wie sie z. B. in der Fernwirktechnik eingesetzt werden, zu vertretbaren Kosten realisierbar, zumal sich die Investitionen auf die Ansteuerungs-Schaltungen reduziert.A method according to is used to solve the first part of the task Claim 1; Refinements are given in claims 2 to 4. The second part is solved with a device according to Claim 5; Refinements are given in claims 6 to 8. Thus, the entire facade of one can be sufficient as a "large display" large building or building complex with its mostly regular arranged windows can be used, if the almost always existing ceiling or window lighting window by window from Z. B. a control center is switched individually. This is with controls and assemblies such as B. in telecontrol be used, realizable at reasonable cost, especially the investments are reduced to the control circuits.

Zweckmäßigerweise sollten verzögerungsfrei einschaltbare Leuchten eingesetzt werden, um auch Laufschriften und ähnliche mobile Effekte - wie sonst im wesentlich kleineren Maßstab üblich - realisieren zu können. Zur Darstellung der infragekommenden Informationen (z. B. Uhrzeit, Datum, Temperatur, Firmenkürzel . .) reicht zur Lesbarkeit eines einzelnen darzustellenden Zeichens (Ziffer, Buchstabe) schon eine Auflösung mit z. B. 3 × 5 Bildpunkten aus. Für eine bessere Auflösung können auch die zwischen den Fenstern befindlichen Fassadenflächen beleuchtbar gestaltet werden.Lights that can be switched on without delay should be expedient used to include tickers and similar mobile effects - as usual on a much smaller scale - to realize can. To display the relevant information (e.g. Time, date, temperature, company code. .) is sufficient for readability of a single character to be displayed (number, letter) a resolution with z. B. 3 × 5 pixels. For a better resolution can also see the facade surfaces between the windows be designed to be illuminated.

In der einzigen Figur ist ein solches Großdisplay (1) beispielhaft dargestellt, dessen Fläche aus einem Teil der Gebäudefront mit den die Bildpunkte (2) bildenden erleuchteten (21) bzw. nicht erleuchteten Fenstern (22) gebildet wird, womit sich im dargestellten Beispiel die Zeitanzeige "20 : 34" ergibt.In the single figure, such a large display ( 1 ) is shown as an example, the surface of which is formed from part of the front of the building with the illuminated ( 21 ) or non-illuminated windows ( 22 ) forming the pixels ( 2 ), which in the example shown shows the Time display "20:34" results.
