Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a box; in particular, it refers to a display box. [Previous Technology]

[0002] It is known that commercial advertising has become an important part of product marketing in recent years. In order to arouse consumers' interest in purchasing products, many businesses use display cases to showcase their products, thereby attracting consumers to view the products and increasing product attention and sales revenue. Most current display cases simply place the products inside the case and use some decorations or scenery to decorate the case, making the displayed products more attractive to consumers.

[0003] However, when users want to change the items displayed in the familiar display cases, in order to avoid affecting the consumer experience, users generally have to wait until after business hours to change the items. They cannot make changes during business hours. Furthermore, when changing decorations or scenery along with the items, it is easy to waste a lot of resources. In addition, besides providing consumers with the service of viewing products, how to further enhance the connection between consumers and products is also one of the problems that urgently need to be solved. [Summary of the Invention]

[0004] In view of the above, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a display box that can achieve the effect of decorating the display box by means of the display panel on the display box, and can facilitate users to change the display items and enhance the connection between consumers and products.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a display case for displaying an object, comprising a main body, a display panel, an AI server, and a light source. The main body has an accommodating space and a side opening, the accommodating space being for placing the object. The display panel is disposed on the main body and covers the side opening. The display panel has a first side and a second side facing away from each other. The first side faces the accommodating space, and the second side faces away from the accommodating space. The light transmittance of the first side towards the second side is greater than the light transmittance of the second side towards the first side. The AI ​​server is disposed on the main body and electrically connected to the display panel. The AI ​​server includes a processing unit for converting a received signal into text, parsing the semantics of the text, and providing a response. The display panel displays the response. The light source is disposed within the main body and can be controlled to be turned on or off.

[0006] The effect of this invention is that when the light source is turned on, the light energy of the light source can penetrate from the first side to the second side, and the consumer can see the exhibit placed in the accommodating space through the display panel from outside the display case; when the light source is turned off, the ambient light outside the display case cannot penetrate from the second side to the first side, and the exhibit placed in the accommodating space cannot be seen from outside the display case. Therefore, when the user needs to change the exhibit, he / she can directly turn off the light source to change the exhibit without being seen by the consumer, thus achieving the effect of facilitating the user to change the exhibit; furthermore, through the display panel on the display case... The display panel serves to decorate the display case, thereby reducing the waste of physical decorations. In addition, through the AI ​​server settings, for example, consumers can input text related to the displayed item. The processing unit can convert the input text into text, such as "Please display relevant information about the displayed item." The display panel can then display a response corresponding to the aforementioned text. This response may include information such as the price, color options, and size range of the displayed item, allowing consumers to further understand the displayed item and enhancing the connection between consumers and the product.

Implementation Method

[0007] To more clearly illustrate the present invention, preferred embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, which show a display box 1 of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, used to display an exhibit 2.

[0008] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the display case 1 includes a main body 10, a display panel 20, an AI server 30, and a light source 40. The main body 10 has an accommodating space S and a side opening 1a, which connects to the accommodating space S. The accommodating space S is used to place the display item 2. The display panel 20 is disposed on the main body 10 and covers the side opening 1a. The display panel 20 can be an LCD screen without a backlight module, an LED screen, an OLED screen, or a touch screen. Display case 10 has a first side 201 and a second side 202 facing away from each other. The first side 201 faces the accommodating space S, while the second side 202 faces away from the accommodating space S, i.e., towards the outside of the main body 10. The light transmittance of the first side 201 towards the second side 202 is greater than the light transmittance of the second side 202 towards the first side 201. The light source 40 is disposed within the main body 10 and can be controlled to be turned on or off. The light source 40 can be a monochromatic or multi-color light-emitting diode strip or a bulb. In addition, the decorative image 24 displayed through the display panel 20 on the display case 1 can achieve the effect of decorating the display case 1.

[0009] Since the light transmittance of the first side 201 of the display panel 20 towards the second side 202 is greater than the light transmittance of the second side 202 towards the first side 201, when the light source 40 is turned on, the light from the light source 40 can pass through from the first side 201 to the second side 202. Conversely, when the light source 40 is turned off, external ambient light cannot pass through from the second side 202 to the first side 201.

[0010] Accordingly, when the light source 40 is turned on as shown in FIG1, the light energy of the light source 40 can penetrate from the first side 201 to the second side 202, and the consumer can see the exhibit 2 placed in the accommodating space S through the display panel 20 from outside the display case 1; when the light source 40 is turned off as shown in FIG3, the ambient light outside the display case 1 cannot penetrate from the second side 202 to the first side 201, so that the display panel 20 is in a black screen state, and the consumer cannot see the exhibit 2 placed in the accommodating space S from outside the display case 1; in this way, when the user needs to replace the exhibit 2, he / she can directly turn off the light source 40 and open the case door 12 on the rear side of the display case 1 as shown in FIG4 to replace the exhibit 2 without being seen by the consumer, so as to facilitate the user to replace the exhibit 2. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the light source 40 may also be disposed in other locations within the body 10 and is not limited to being disposed at the top of the accommodating space S.

[0011] Referring to Figures 2 and 5, the AI ​​server 30 is disposed at the bottom of the main body 10 and electrically connected to the display panel 20. In other embodiments, the AI ​​server 30 may also be disposed at other locations on the main body 10 and is not limited to the bottom of the main body 10. The AI ​​server 30 includes a processing unit 32, which is used to convert a received signal into text. The processing unit 32 parses the semantics of the text and provides a response. The display panel 20 displays the response. For example, as shown in Figure 1, the display panel 20 has a control interface 22 for users to input data to ask questions. The data may be, for example, "Please provide product information for the exhibit". The display panel 20 outputs the signal to the AI ​​server 30 based on the data. Then, the display panel 20 displays the response, which includes product information for the exhibit. The response may be displayed on the display panel 20 in the form of images, videos, text, etc., to achieve the effect of interacting with consumers.

[0012] To further explain, the processing unit 32 parses the semantics of the text, scores the relevance of the semantics of the text to the display item 2 and generates a relevance score result. When the relevance score result is lower than a predetermined threshold, the response proposed by the processing unit 32 includes a prompt that the semantics of the text is not related to the display item 2. In this way, consumers can avoid asking questions to the AI ​​server 30 that are not related to the display item 2.

[0013] Furthermore, the processing unit 32 parses the semantics of the text, scores the security of the semantics of the text and generates a security score result. When the security score result is higher than a security threshold, the processing unit 32 provides a prompt that the text is semantically inappropriate. In this way, it can prevent consumers from asking questions containing vulgar, rude, crude or indecent words or from asking questions involving trade secrets.

[0014] Referring again to Figures 1 and 5, the display box 1 includes a voice device 50, which is located outside the main body 10 and electrically connected to the AI ​​server 30. The voice device 50 allows users to input data, and the voice device 50 outputs the signal to the AI ​​server 30 based on the data. In other words, in addition to asking questions through the control interface 22, consumers can also ask questions by speaking through the voice device 50. For example, the processing unit 32 includes a speech recognition module and a language model. The speech recognition module is used to automatically generate a verbatim transcript of the speech inquiry in the signal, and then generate the reply by combining the language model with the knowledge graph. The reply can be presented on the display panel 20 in the form of images, videos, text, etc., or played through the voice device 50.

[0015] Referring again to Figures 1 and 5, the display case 1 includes a camera 60, which is located on the front side of the main body 10. The camera 60 is electrically connected to the AI ​​server 30. The camera 60 captures an image and outputs it to the AI ​​server 30. The image includes parts of the user's body. The processing unit 32 analyzes the image and makes a suggestion based on the image. The display panel 20 displays the suggestion. For example, a consumer can capture a full-body image in front of the display case through the camera 60. The processing unit 32 analyzes the full-body image and makes a suggestion based on the image. The suggestion could be, for example, suitable clothing for the weather at the time, thereby enhancing the connection between the consumer and the product.

[0016] In summary, through the design of the display box 1, when the user needs to replace the display item 2, the light source 40 can be turned off directly to replace the display item 2 without being seen by the consumer, thus facilitating the user to replace the display item 2; furthermore, the display panel 20 on the display box 1 can achieve the effect of decorating the display box 1, thereby reducing the waste of physical decorations; in addition, through the setting of the AI ​​server 30, consumers can further understand the display item 2, thereby enhancing the connection between consumers and products.
