Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of imaging technology, and in particular to a holographic teleprompter device. Background Technology

[0002] A teleprompter is a tool used to help speakers, presenters, or those with limited speaking skills prepare and deliver speeches or dialogues. It provides instant prompts, keywords, and reminders to help users express their thoughts and opinions more fluently. However, with current teleprompters, speakers must hold the script or read it through a monitor, causing them to frequently look down during their speech, preventing them from observing the audience's expressions in real time and hindering timely interaction, thus significantly reducing the effectiveness of their presentations. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this disclosure is to provide a holographic levitation teleprompter to solve the problems in the related art.

[0004] The first aspect of this disclosure provides a holographic levitation teleprompter device, comprising:

[0005] The main body includes an installation compartment and a light outlet on the top surface; the top surface forms a prompting area located above the light outlet;

[0006] The display element is inclinedly disposed in the mounting compartment;

[0007] An optical waveguide plate is disposed at an angle to the display component within the mounting chamber at a position corresponding to the light outlet.

[0008] The light emitted by the display device is mirrored by the light waveguide plate and then emitted from the light outlet to form a suspended teleprompter image facing the speaker.

[0009] In an embodiment of the first aspect, the tilt angle of at least one of the display and the optical waveguide plate is adjustable.

[0010] In an embodiment of the first aspect, the optical waveguide plate is disposed at an angle relative to the horizontal plane.

[0011] In the first aspect of the embodiment, a light-transmitting element is also included, covering the light outlet.

[0012] In an embodiment of the first aspect, the angle between the display element and the optical waveguide plate ranges from 30° to 85°.

[0013] In an embodiment of the first aspect, the main body includes a detachably connected base and a support.

[0014] In a first aspect embodiment, the top of the base is provided with a first insertion portion extending in a vertical direction, and the bottom of the support body is provided with a second insertion portion that is inserted and connected to the first insertion portion; the light outlet is located on the top of the support body.

[0015] In an embodiment of the first aspect, a control unit is further included, the control unit including a control host and an operating element; the control host is communicatively connected to the operating element and the display element, the control host is located in the mounting compartment, and the operating element is removably disposed in the main body.

[0016] In an embodiment of the first aspect, the control unit further includes at least one data interface communicatively connected to the control host.

[0017] In the first aspect of the embodiment, both the base and the support body have heat dissipation holes formed on their sidewalls.

[0018] As described above, this disclosure provides a holographic suspended teleprompter device, including a main body, a display element, and an optical waveguide plate. The main body includes a mounting chamber and a light outlet on its top surface, forming a teleprompter area above the light outlet. The display element is obliquely disposed in the mounting chamber. The optical waveguide plate is positioned at an angle to the display element within the mounting chamber corresponding to the light outlet; wherein, light emitted from the display element is reflected by the optical waveguide plate and exits through the light outlet, forming a suspended teleprompter image facing the speaker. The advantage of this arrangement is that the content displayed on the display element within the mounting chamber is reflected by the optical waveguide plate and exits through the light outlet, forming a teleprompter image facing the speaker and suspended above the teleprompter area. This allows the speaker to obtain the speech text on the display element without frequently looking down to check the content, thereby avoiding a decrease in the audience's audiovisual experience due to the speaker frequently looking down, and thus improving the presentation effect.

[0031] For the purpose of clarity, devices unrelated to the description are omitted, and the same or similar components throughout the specification are given the same reference numerals.

[0032] Throughout this specification, when it is said that a device is "connected" to another device, this includes not only "direct connection" but also "indirect connection" by placing other components in between.

[0036] A teleprompter is a tool used to help speakers, presenters, or those with limited speaking skills prepare and deliver speeches or dialogues. It provides instant prompts, keywords, and reminders to help users express their thoughts and opinions more fluently. However, with current teleprompters, speakers must hold the script or read it through a monitor, causing them to frequently look down during their speech, preventing them from observing the audience's expressions in real time and hindering timely interaction, thus significantly reducing the effectiveness of their presentations.

[0037] To address the aforementioned issues, the holographic teleprompter device provided in this embodiment displays content shown on a display within the mounting chamber. This content is emitted from the light outlet under the mirroring effect of the optical waveguide plate, forming a teleprompter image that faces the speaker and floats above the teleprompter area. This allows the speaker to access the speech text on the display without frequently looking down, thus avoiding a decrease in the audience's audiovisual experience due to the speaker's frequent head-down movements and ultimately improving the presentation effect.

[0038] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the overall structure of the holographic teleprompter in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the holographic teleprompter device from another perspective in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 3 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of the insertion of the base and the support in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 4 The diagram shown is a cross-sectional view of the holographic teleprompter device in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 5 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the light path of the holographic teleprompter in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 , 2 3, 4 and Figure 5 In the example, the holographic teleprompter includes a main body 10, a display 20, and an optical waveguide plate 30. The main body 10 includes a mounting chamber 101 and a light outlet (not shown in the figure) on its top surface, forming a teleprompter area 102 above the light outlet. The display 20 is obliquely disposed in the mounting chamber 101. The optical waveguide plate 30 is disposed at an angle to the display 20 within the mounting chamber 101 corresponding to the light outlet; wherein the light emitted by the display 20 is mirrored by the optical waveguide plate 30 and exits the light outlet (not shown in the figure), forming a suspended teleprompter image 40 facing the speaker.

[0039] The advantages of the above configuration are that the content displayed on the display unit 20 located in the mounting compartment 101 is emitted from the light outlet under the mirroring effect of the optical waveguide plate 30, forming a teleprompter image 40 facing the speaker and suspended above the main body 10. This allows the speaker to obtain the speech manuscript on the display unit 20 without frequently looking down to check the content, thereby avoiding the reduction of the audience's audiovisual experience due to the speaker frequently looking down, and thus improving the speech effect. In addition, due to the special imaging of the optical waveguide plate 30, the image content can only be seen within a limited angle around the speaker, so other audience members will not notice the speaker's teleprompter, greatly improving the speech effect.

[0040] exist Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the example, the main body 10 includes a detachably connected base 11 and a support 12. It is understood that the mounting compartment 101 consists of the internal space of the base 11 and the internal space of the support 12. The light outlet is located at the top of the support 12.

[0041] Exemplarily, the base 11 has a first insertion portion 111 extending vertically at its top, and the support body 12 has a second insertion portion 121 at its bottom that is inserted into and connected to the first insertion portion 111. Exemplarily, the base 11 and the support body 12 are inserted in such a manner that the first insertion portion 111 is inserted into the second insertion portion 121, or the second insertion portion 121 is inserted into the first insertion portion 111. Preferably, the first insertion portion 111 is inserted into the second insertion portion 121. The advantage of this insertion is that the horizontal outer wall of the base 11 can support the first insertion portion 111, while avoiding a reduction in the space utilization of the base 11 due to the second insertion portion 121 being inserted into its internal space.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the first and second plug-in portions is implemented as a convex polygon. The advantage of this design is that it can increase the bonding area between the first and second plug-in portions, improve the connection effect between the base and the support, and enhance stability.

[0043] In other embodiments, the second connector is inserted into the first connector. The advantage of this insertion is that the second connector contacts the bottom wall of the inner wall of the base, thereby increasing the depth of the connection between the support and the base, and thus improving the connection effect between the support and the base.

[0044] Figure 6 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of another embodiment of the first and second insertion portions in this disclosure. Figure 6In the example, the cross-sectional shape of the first insertion portion 111A and the second insertion portion 121A is implemented as a polygonal or curved shape. Further exemplarily, the cross-section of the wall surface where the first insertion portion 111A and the second insertion portion 121A are joined is implemented as a polygonal or curved shape, while the non-joined wall surface remains a straight wall surface. This increases the joining area between the first insertion portion 111A and the second insertion portion 121A, improving the connection effect between the base and the support. It also maintains the flatness of the appearance of the base and the support, enhancing aesthetics.

[0045] Figure 7 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of yet another embodiment of the first and second connectors in this disclosure. Figure 7 In the example, the first insertion portion 111B is implemented as a recessed slot, and the second insertion portion 121B is implemented as a plug inserted into the slot. It is understood that after the second insertion portion 121B, implemented as a plug, is inserted into the first insertion portion 111B, implemented as a slot, the contact surface between the second insertion portion 121B and the first insertion portion 111B increases from one sidewall to two sidewalls. This significantly increases the contact area between the first insertion portion 111B and the second insertion portion 121B, improves the connection between the base and the support, and enhances stability.

[0046] Exemplarily, the holographic teleprompter further includes a lifting component (not shown in the figure), which includes a ball screw, a nut threadedly engaged with the ball screw, and a drive motor. The drive component is located on the bottom wall within the base, the ball screw is axially aligned vertically and coaxially connected to the output end of the drive motor, and the nut is connected to the support body. Exemplarily, the lifting component also includes a lifting switch located on the side wall of the support body, the lifting switch being communicatively connected to the drive motor. Those skilled in the art will understand that the speaker can operate the lifting switch to control the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor, thereby increasing or decreasing the vertical distance between the base and the support body, thus adjusting the overall height of the holographic teleprompter for use by speakers of different heights. Exemplarily, both the first and second insertion portions are rectangular to prevent the support body from rotating with the ball screw.

[0047] exist Figure 1 and Figure 4In the example, the holographic suspended teleprompter further includes a light-transmitting element 50 covering the light outlet. Those skilled in the art will understand that the light-transmitting element 50 not only prevents external dust from falling into the light outlet and contaminating the optical waveguide plate 30, but also improves the aesthetics of the holographic suspended teleprompter. In this embodiment, the light-transmitting element 50 is implemented as a transparent glass with high light transmittance. In another embodiment, the light-transmitting element 50 is implemented as a semi-transparent glass.

[0048] exist Figure 4 In the example, the optical waveguide plate 30 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane. The tilt angle of at least one of the display element 20 and the optical waveguide plate 30 is adjustable. Exemplarily, the angle between the display element and the optical waveguide plate ranges from 30° to 85°. Further exemplaryly, the tilt angle of the display element 20 is adjustable. The display element 20 flips by a certain angle under the rotation of a driving member (not shown in the figure). In another embodiment, the tilt angles of both the display element 20 and the optical waveguide plate 30 are adjustable. Those skilled in the art will understand that by adjusting the tilt angle of the display element 20 and / or the optical waveguide plate 30, the angle between the teleprompter imaging 40 and the horizontal plane can be changed, allowing the teleprompter imaging 40 to be viewed from a suitable angle towards speakers of different heights, thereby improving the applicability of the holographic suspended teleprompter device.

[0049] exist Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this example, the holographic teleprompter device further includes a control unit 60, which includes a control host 61, an operating component 62, and at least one data interface 63. The control host 61 is communicatively connected to the operating component 62, the display component 20, and the at least one data interface 63. Exemplarily, the operating component 62 is implemented as a keyboard and mouse; the display component 20 is implemented as a display screen; and multiple data interfaces 63 are implemented, such as USB, Type-C, etc. With the above setup, the speaker can upload the speech to the control host 61 via the data interface 63, and then display the speech on the display component 20 via the operating component 62. The content displayed on the display component 20 is emitted from the light outlet under the mirroring effect of the optical waveguide plate 30, forming a teleprompter image 40 facing the speaker and suspended above the main body 10. Finally, the speaker can adjust the tilt angle of the display component 20 or the optical waveguide plate 30 to position the teleprompter image 40 at a suitable viewing angle.

[0050] exist Figure 4In this example, the control host 61 is located in the mounting compartment 101, and the operating element 62 is removably disposed outside the mounting compartment 101 in the support body 12. Exemplarily, the support body 12 has a sliding tray 13 slidably connected to the side wall facing the speaker, which is also slidable into the mounting compartment 101, and the operating element 62 is placed within the tray 13. It is understood that the speaker can slide the tray 13 outside the mounting compartment 101 as needed to operate the operating element 62.

[0051] Back to Figure 2 In the example, both the base 11 and the support 12 have heat dissipation holes 103 on their side walls. The heat dissipation holes 103 can dissipate heat from the control host and display device inside the mounting compartment, preventing the control host and display device from degrading due to excessive temperature.

[0052] exist Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the example, the support body 12 has a mounting opening (not shown in the figure) on the side wall facing the speaker, and a door panel 122 is hinged within the mounting opening. It is understood that staff can open and close the door panel 122 to access the control unit, display components, etc., for maintenance, replacement, or adjustment. Exemplarily, the heat dissipation holes on the support body 12 are located in the door panel 122.

[0053] In summary, this disclosure provides a holographic suspended teleprompter device, including a main body, a display element, and an optical waveguide plate. The main body includes a mounting chamber and a light outlet on its top surface, forming a teleprompter area above the light outlet. The display element is obliquely mounted in the mounting chamber. The optical waveguide plate is positioned at an angle to the display element within the mounting chamber corresponding to the light outlet; wherein, light emitted from the display element is mirrored by the optical waveguide plate and exits through the light outlet, forming a suspended teleprompter image facing the speaker. The advantage of this arrangement is that the content displayed on the display element within the mounting chamber is mirrored by the optical waveguide plate and exits through the light outlet, forming a teleprompter image facing the speaker and suspended above the teleprompter area. This allows the speaker to obtain the speech text from the display element without frequently looking down to check the content, thereby avoiding a decrease in the audience's audiovisual experience due to the speaker frequently looking down, and thus improving the presentation effect.

[0054] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this disclosure should still be covered by the protection scope of this disclosure.
