FlexTapBoard, an NFC-enabled information board with replaceable display board

Abstract

We offer FlexTapBoard, an NFC-compatible information board with a replaceable display board. [Solution] This information display plate is an information medium for providing information to devices such as smartphones. It features a structure consisting of an NFC tag storage recess formed in a plate-shaped body and a detachable member covering the recess from the front side, thereby mechanically protecting the NFC tag while using the surface of the member as an icon display surface, allowing for integrated display of changes to the NFC-provided information. Conventional QR Code (registered trademark) displays are often provided on paper or stickers, which have issues such as deterioration, damage, soiling, and damage to the store's image. Furthermore, changing the information requires reprinting and reattaching, which is inefficient. NFC tags are typically used in embedded panels, key chains, and cards, limiting the rewritable nature of NFC tags.

Description

Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0001] Conventional QR Code (registered trademark) displays are often provided on paper or as stickers, which can lead to problems such as deterioration, damage, soiling, and damage to the store's image. Also, changing the information requires reprinting and re-attaching, which is inefficient. [Means for solving the problem]

[0002] This board allows the display board (panel) to be detachably replaced, allowing the stored information of the NFC tag built into (or mounted on) the display board to be rewritten according to changes in use. This makes it easy to ensure consistency between the displayed information and the NFC / QR link content by updating the information content of the NFC tag when the use changes and simultaneously replacing the display board with one that matches the new use. Furthermore, the display board can be attached using a plug-in type, sliding type, snap-in type, magnetic type, or other methods. [Effects of the Invention]

[0003] When the application changes, the information stored in the NFC tag (e.g., Wi-Fi settings, ordering URL, review link, etc.) can be rewritten and replaced with a display board that corresponds to the application, thereby maintaining consistency between the display surface and the access content at all times. This integration allows for continuous operation of function switching such as Wi-Fi information → ordering → reviews → SNS links on a single unit, reducing the effort and cost of reprinting and reattaching paper media or creating new plates. Furthermore, seasonal menus, campaigns, multilingual switching, etc. can be quickly updated, improving the operational flexibility of stores and facilities. Compared to paper media, it is highly durable and clean, and can be used both on a table or wall. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
