Embodiment Construction

[0035] In the following, functionally similar or identical elements may have the same reference signs.

[0036] figure 1 An interactive system 10 is shown for a store and provides for presenting items. The system 10 comprises two video cameras 12 as detectors and for processing video information from the video cameras 12 and controlling a light system 20 with several spotlights 21 and a sound system with several speakers 23 in response to the received video information. Controller 18 of system 22 . Light system 20 and sound system 22 are arranged on some items 16 such as new products. The video cameras 12 are adjusted so that each camera monitors an area 24 in front of an item 16 which may, for example, be positioned in a shelf or on a board in a store.

[0037] Video information from camera 12 is transmitted to controller 18 . The controller 18 is a computer configured to process received information in which it detects the behavior of the viewer 14 in the monitored area ...

Abstract

The invention relates to an interaction system and method for automatically generating a soundscape and lighting, which are adapted to an action of a viewer of displayed items, in order to attract the attention of the viewer to one or more of the displayed items, such as products presented in a shop or displayed in a shopping window. A basic idea of this invention is refining interactivity by triggering the generation of a lighting and soundscape upon detection of a certain viewer or user action and to adapt the generated lighting and soundscape to the viewer or user action. The invention provides in an embodiment an interaction system (10) comprising - at least one detector (12) being adapted to detect an action of at least one viewer (14) showing interest in displayed items (16) and - a controller (18) being adapted to control a light (20) and sound (22) system in response to information received from the at least one detector such that a soundscape and lighting adapted to the detected action is generated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an interactive system and method for automatically generating soundscapes and lighting adapted to the behavior of a viewer of exhibit items in order to draw the viewer's attention to one or more exhibit items , the display item is, for example, a product presented in a store or displayed in a window. Background technique [0002] Grabbing people's attention is becoming more and more complicated. For example, in a store there are many things to see. However, simply adding sound or light to every object or item presented in the store or displayed in a window will result in a jarring and distracting environment that is not suitable for drawing shoppers' attention to a certain some items. WO 2008 / 012717A2 discloses an interaction method and system comprising at least one detector configured to detect the gaze of at least one viewer looking at an item. The processor is configured to calculate a gaze duration, such as a c...
