Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a housing with a display device. Prior Technology

[0002] Existing advertising billboards cannot update advertising content in real time, mainly relying on manual replacement of images or text. This not only involves a cumbersome workflow but also incurs high production and replacement costs, making it impossible to frequently update advertising information.

[0003] Furthermore, most electronic billboards rely on external power sources and cannot operate independently of a fixed power supply system. Therefore, they can usually only be installed in specific locations, such as building exteriors, entrances and exits of large shopping malls, or major traffic nodes. Due to the high cost of setting up and maintaining such billboards, their deployment is limited, making it difficult to form a widely distributed advertising network. Moreover, it is difficult to conduct dynamic advertising targeting specific pedestrian flow lines or areas, thus reducing their appeal for temporary or short-term events.

[0004] For example, when a department store holds an anniversary sale, simply posting advertisements at the entrances and exits will only attract people within their immediate vicinity, failing to reach potential customers in the surrounding area, resulting in limited overall advertising effectiveness. To increase the event's exposure, a large amount of advertising resources are often required, leading to a significant increase in costs. Therefore, the industry urgently needs an advertising display device that can dynamically adjust its content according to changes in location, allowing advertising information to be updated in real time based on location or time, thereby effectively improving advertising reach and overall promotional effectiveness.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2, where Figure 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a housing with a display device installed on a mobile vehicle according to a first embodiment of this disclosure; and Figure 2 is a block diagram illustrating a housing with a display device according to a first embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the housing 100 with a display device includes a movable housing 110, a display device 120, and a control motherboard 130. The movable housing 110 has a surface 111, the display device 120 is disposed on the surface 111 and displays at least one delivery information, and the control motherboard 130 is disposed on the movable housing 110 and signal-connected to the display device 120. In the first embodiment, the movable housing 110 is installed on a mobile vehicle 20 (i.e., a motorcycle) and can move with the mobile vehicle 20, but is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the movable housing can be carried by a person or installed on a bicycle, trolley, logistics transport vehicle, or other mobile vehicle. The information to be displayed refers to advertising content that can be played by the display device 120. Its form may include, but is not limited to, images, text, audio and video, and is used to present commercial promotion, brand promotion or event information and other related content.

[0024] The display device 120 may be a cholesteric liquid crystal display (ChLCD), but is not limited thereto. The principle of a cholesteric liquid crystal display is to use a specially arranged liquid crystal structure to reflect light of a specific color, displaying images without backlighting. Therefore, it possesses characteristics such as high color saturation, low power consumption, and resistance to ambient light interference, but is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the display device may also be an electronic ink display (E Ink Display).

[0025] The control motherboard 130 includes a positioning module 131 and a communication module 132. The positioning module 131 is a Global Positioning System (GPS), which provides location information to the display device 120. The communication module 132 is signal-connected to the positioning module 131 and can upload the acquired location information to a cloud server 140 via wireless transmission, such as 4G, 5G, or Wi-Fi. The cloud server 140 stores deployment information for at least one region and outputs the corresponding deployment information for that region to the communication module 132 based on the location information, which is then displayed on the display device 120. In other words, the cloud server 140 stores delivery information corresponding to different regions, and automatically selects the delivery information for the corresponding region based on the received location information, and sends it back to the communication module 132. After receiving the information, the communication module 132 transmits it to the display device 120 for display. In other embodiments, the server can also be located locally, allowing it to directly transmit the stored local delivery information to the communication module to improve transmission efficiency.

[0026] This allows for automatic switching and delivery of relevant advertising information based on the different locations visited, thus meeting localized advertising needs.

[0027] It should be noted that the number of display devices 120 is not limited to one. In other embodiments, two or more display devices can be installed on the mobile housing, respectively configured on different surfaces, to expand the viewing range or display different content according to advertising needs. For example, a display device can be installed on the left and right sides of the mobile housing to simultaneously display the same or different advertising information, thereby enhancing the advertising effect.

[0028] In a first embodiment, the cholesteric liquid crystal display device includes a substrate (not otherwise labeled) made of glass. Glass substrates are less prone to deformation, which helps improve the clarity and stability of the image display, making them suitable for displaying advertising content for extended periods, but this is not a limitation. In other embodiments, the substrate may also be made of flexible materials such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyimide (PI). Compared to glass substrates, PET and PI are lightweight, less prone to breakage, and highly flexible, making them suitable for uneven or curved installation environments. These material properties improve the durability of the display device on mobile vehicles, reducing the risk of damage caused by vibration or deformation.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 2. The control motherboard 130 may further include a memory 133. The memory 133 is signal-connected to the communication module 132 and the display device 120. It is used to receive and store the delivery information transmitted by the communication module 132 for display on the display device 120. In other words, the memory 133 can be regarded as a temporary storage device. It can continuously supply pre-stored delivery information to the display device 120 in the event of wireless communication interruption, weak signal, or unstable network, avoiding screen interruption or blank screen, and ensuring uninterrupted delivery information. In addition, the memory 133 can be selected with different capacities according to actual application needs. If it is necessary to store multiple delivery information corresponding to different regions, time periods, or advertisers, a large-capacity memory can be selected to facilitate switching or repeating the display of multiple sets of delivery information. If the application scope changes little or the delivery information is updated less frequently, a small-capacity memory can be selected to reduce costs and power consumption.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The enclosure 100 with the display device may further include an antenna 150. The antenna 150 is disposed on one side of the display device 120 and is signal-connected to the communication module 132. The antenna 150 is used to receive and transmit wireless communication signals, such as 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, and GPS signals. By receiving the above signals through the antenna 150, the communication module 132 can obtain the location information of the display device 120 and upload the location information to the cloud server 140. The cloud server 140 selects and transmits the corresponding area's delivery information based on the received location information. After receiving the information, the communication module 132 transmits the delivery information to the display device 120 for display. In other embodiments, the antenna may also be embedded in the display device or disposed on a mobile enclosure in different ways. The specific placement can be adjusted according to the actual installation space, structural configuration, or usage requirements.

[0031] The following describes the transmission and display process of the information delivery in the first embodiment, explaining how the information delivery is updated and displayed on the display device 120 according to the change in location.

[0032] The positioning module 131 in the control motherboard 130 can detect the location of the display device 120 and transmit the obtained location information to the communication module 132. The communication module 132 transmits and receives wireless signals via the antenna 150 and uploads the location information to the cloud server 140 via wireless transmission. After receiving the location information, the cloud server 140 queries and retrieves the delivery information stored in the corresponding area, and transmits the corresponding location information back to the communication module 132 via the antenna 150. After receiving the information, the communication module 132 transmits the delivery information to the memory 133 in the control motherboard 130 for storage. The display device 120 can read the delivery information from the memory 133 and play it on the display screen of the display device 120.
