Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of amusement equipment, and in particular to an interactive device combining images and lights. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are two main ways for amusement park rides to interact with visitors: interaction between the display and the launching device, and interaction between the lights and the launching device.
[0003] In one method of interaction between the display and the transmitting device, the transmitting device has a built-in gyroscope to capture the device's offset data, thereby determining the transmitting device's orientation and providing image feedback through the display. The drawback of this method is that, to achieve large-scale interactive effects, the application of the display is limited by the environmental layout and appearance, and the cost is relatively high. Another method involves the light interacting with the transmitting device using an infrared transmitter and receiver. When the transmitter sends an infrared signal, the receiver, within its effective range, receives the signal and converts it into a light control signal to control the light's on / off state. Its main disadvantage is that the light control method is relatively simple, only allowing switching between on and off states, lacking more complex visual effects.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new device to address the technical problem that the interaction between the display and the transmitter is limited by environmental layout and cost, making it difficult to apply on a large scale; and that the interaction between the light and the transmitter is simple, only able to switch between on and off states, lacking complex visual effects.

The control processing unit is used to change the video content of the display unit, analyze the signal frequency of the infrared signal, execute the instruction corresponding to the signal frequency, call the lighting script in memory, and control the lighting unit to achieve dynamic effects.

[0027] Currently, amusement park rides primarily interact with visitors in two ways: interaction between the display and the transmitter, and interaction between lights and the transmitter. The display-to-transmitter interaction relies on the transmitter's built-in gyroscope to capture offset data, which is then displayed as an image. However, this method is limited by environmental layout and cost, making large-scale application difficult. The light-to-transmitter interaction uses infrared signals for control, receiving signals through a receiver and converting them into light-on / off control signals. The drawback of this method is its relatively simple light control, only allowing switching between on and off states, lacking complex visual effects. Overall, both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, limiting richer interactive experiences.
[0028] To address this, this utility model provides an interactive device combining image and light, which solves the problem that the interaction between the display and the transmitting device is limited by environmental layout and cost, making it difficult to apply on a large scale; and that the interaction between the light and the transmitting device is simple to control, only able to switch between on and off states, lacking complex visual effects.
[0029] Specifically, this interactive image and lighting device combines a transmitting unit 7, a receiving unit 2, a display unit 1, a lighting unit 4, and a control processing unit to achieve a more complex interaction method, overcoming the environmental layout and cost limitations of traditional display and transmitting device interactions. By analyzing the frequency of infrared signals, the control processing unit can dynamically change the video content of the display unit 1, enhancing the visual effect. The device uses a combination of a lighting matrix and dynamic lighting scripts, breaking through the limitations of traditional single-function lighting interactions and achieving more complex dynamic effects. The cooperation between the lighting unit 4 and the display unit 1 can generate rich visual changes according to interactive commands, enhancing the interactive experience. The device integrates all units on the decorative panel 3, optimizing the layout and making it more suitable for large-scale applications.
[0030] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an interactive device combining image and light, provided in an embodiment of the present utility model. The device can be used in small amusement equipment and amusement devices, making up for the disadvantages of single display size and cost. The combination of light and display presents diverse effects, has strong plasticity, and has low requirements for the conditions of the effect carrier.
[0032] Please see Figure 1An interactive device combining video and lighting includes: a transmitting unit 7, a receiving unit 2, a display unit 1, a lighting unit 4, and a control processing unit. The transmitting unit 7, the receiving unit 2, the display unit 1, and the lighting unit 4 are respectively connected to the control processing unit. The transmitting unit 7 is used to aim at the display unit 1 and transmit an infrared signal. The receiving unit 2 is used to receive the infrared signal and feed it back to the control processing unit. The control processing unit is used to change the video content of the display unit 1, analyze the signal frequency of the infrared signal, execute the instruction corresponding to the signal frequency, call the lighting script in memory, and control the lighting unit 4 to achieve dynamic effects.
[0033] Specifically, the transmitting unit 7 emits infrared signals of a specific frequency towards the display unit 1. Upon receiving these infrared signals, the receiving unit 2 immediately feeds them back to the control processing unit. The control processing unit analyzes the received signals, identifying different signal frequencies such as single, double, or continuous. Depending on the signal frequency, the control processing unit executes corresponding instruction code. For example, a single signal might trigger the display unit 1 to play a specific video clip; while a continuous signal might cause the lighting unit 4 to display a complete animation sequence. The control processing unit not only updates the content of the display unit 1 but also calls preset lighting scripts in memory to coordinate the lighting unit 4 to produce corresponding dynamic effects. In this way, the display unit 1 and the lighting unit 4 can work synchronously to create a rich visual experience.
[0034] By precisely controlling the signal frequency, the device can provide users with instant and diverse feedback, increasing the enjoyment of interaction. Since the lighting unit 4 can display various dynamic effects as needed, the entire system possesses high flexibility and adaptability. Compared to traditional methods that rely solely on large-size displays, this invention effectively reduces costs by combining a smaller display with the flexible lighting unit 4.
[0035] This interactive light and video display not only solves the size limitations and high costs of traditional solutions, but also greatly enriches the user experience by introducing diverse dynamic lighting effects, giving it unique advantages in applications such as entertainment venues.
[0036] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The aforementioned display unit 1 includes a monitor. The monitor is used to display video content.
[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The aforementioned lighting unit 4 includes a lighting matrix.
[0038] The lighting section consists of a matrix of multiple lights used to create dynamic effects and enhance the visual experience. Specifically, this light matrix is arranged around the outer perimeter of the display. This design allows the lighting effects to closely surround the displayed content, creating a more immersive viewing experience.
[0039] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The aforementioned control processing unit includes a controller 5 and a processor 6. The processor 6 is connected to both the display unit 1 and the controller 5; the controller 5 is connected to the lighting unit 4. Specifically, the processor 6 is responsible for receiving and analyzing the infrared signal from the transmitting unit 7, and adjusting the content of the display unit 1 accordingly. The controller 5, according to the instructions of the processor 6, controls the lighting unit 4 to achieve specific dynamic effects.
[0040] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The aforementioned interactive device combining image and light also includes a decorative panel 3, on which the display unit 1, the receiving unit 2, and the light unit 4 are respectively mounted.
[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The aforementioned receiving units 2 are respectively disposed on the outer periphery of the display unit 1.
[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The aforementioned light matrix is located between receiving unit 2 and display unit 1. This layout optimizes signal reception efficiency while also ensuring good display of the lighting effects.
[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The number of display units 1 mentioned above is at least five. This increases the flexibility and scalability of the system, allowing for the simultaneous display of more information or the creation of more complex visual effects.
[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The aforementioned display unit 1 is located in the very center of the decorative panel 3. This design helps to maintain the balance and harmony of the overall layout.
[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The decorative panel 3 mentioned above is circular in shape. The circular design is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also helps to reduce edge effects and provide a better user viewing experience.
[0046] In summary, this interactive image and light display device achieves efficient information transmission and excellent visual presentation through the carefully designed interaction between its components, making it suitable for various occasions that require interactivity and visual appeal.
[0047] In this embodiment, when the transmitting unit 7 sends infrared commands to the display unit 1, the receiving unit 2 collects these signals and feeds them back to the processor 6. The processor 6 is not only responsible for updating the video content of the display unit 1, but also for analyzing the frequency of the received signals (e.g., single, double, or continuous), and sending different command codes to the controller 5, thereby calling the pre-stored lighting scripts and controlling the lighting matrix to produce corresponding dynamic effects.
[0048] By precisely controlling the lighting matrix to synchronize with changes in the display content, the consistency and harmony of the visual presentation are enhanced. It supports multiple lighting modes, including but not limited to flowing light effects, flashing light effects, and color gradients, greatly enriching the visual experience.
[0049] By leveraging a lighting matrix to enhance display effects, visual boundaries are expanded without increasing monitor size, while reducing costs. This provides users with more creative space, allowing for flexible adjustments to the display effect according to scene requirements, thus enhancing the system's versatility. Because lighting effects can compensate for or even surpass the expressive limitations of a single monitor, the requirements for the installation environment are relatively relaxed, making it highly adaptable.
[0050] This device can be used not only as a standalone product in entertainment venues or home theater systems, but also expanded to other fields, such as small gaming devices that enhance the interactive gaming experience by integrating image and lighting effects. It can also be used in amusement park rides and attractions to increase the appeal and fun of entertainment projects.
[0051] In conclusion, this interactive device combining image and light not only achieves a perfect integration of light and displayed content, but also greatly enhances the diversity and flexibility of visual presentation, possessing high practical value and market potential.
[0052] The aforementioned interactive image and lighting combination device, by setting up a transmitting unit 7, a receiving unit 2, a display unit 1, a lighting unit 4, and a control processing unit, combines multiple units to achieve complex interaction methods, breaking through the limitations of traditional displays and transmitting devices in terms of environmental layout and cost. The transmitting unit 7 aims at the display unit 1 and emits infrared signals, while the receiving unit 2 receives and feeds back the signals to the control processing unit, ensuring accurate interaction. The control processing unit dynamically changes the displayed content according to the frequency changes of the infrared signals, and at the same time calls the lighting script in memory to provide diverse lighting effects. The dynamic control of the lighting unit 4 solves the problem of traditional lighting interaction being singular and only supporting on / off switching. Through integrated design, this device achieves complex visual effects and adapts to the needs of large-scale applications.
