DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings attached to this specification, the scale and aspect ratios are appropriately changed and exaggerated from those of the actual objects for the convenience of illustration and understanding.

[0019] In this specification, the term "plate surface (sheet surface, film surface)" refers to a surface that coincides with the planar direction of the target plate-like (sheet-like, film-like) member when the target plate-like (sheet-like, film-like) member is viewed overall and globally.

[0020] Furthermore, terms used in this specification that specify shapes, geometric conditions, and the extent thereof, such as "parallel," "orthogonal," and "same," as well as values ​​of length and angle, are not to be bound by strict meanings, but are to be interpreted to include a range within which similar functions can be expected.

[0021] FIG. 1 shows an example in which the panel set of the present embodiment is used. The panel set 1 provides various services to a person 3 located in the vicinity of the panel set 1. In particular, the panel set 1 provides a service that produces a space in which the panel set 1 is arranged. The service provided by the panel set 1 may be provided to a specific person, or may be provided to unspecified people in the vicinity of the panel set 1. In addition, the service provided by the panel set 1 to the person 3 may be based on information held by the panel set 1, or may be based on information received by the panel set 1 from the outside through communication. In particular, the panel set 1 can receive information from the outside through communication regarding a service purchased or contracted by the person 3, and provide the information to the person 3.

[0022] Furthermore, the panel set 1 is endowed with a design. The panel set 1 can provide the above-mentioned services while exhibiting the design. In particular, in the panel set 1, the members that perform the function of providing the above-mentioned services can be concealed so that they cannot be observed from the outside. In other words, the panel set 1 can provide a variety of services while having an excellent appearance.

[0023] FIG. 2 shows a front view of an example of the panel set 1. In FIG. 2, the panel set 1 has a plurality of panels 10. The plurality of panels 10 are arranged on an arrangement surface 5. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the arrangement surface 5 is an indoor wall surface of a building such as a house, a public facility such as an educational facility or a hospital, or an accommodation facility. However, the arrangement surface 5 is not limited to the illustrated example, and may be a ceiling surface or a floor surface, or a surface of a fixture or furniture. Alternatively, the arrangement surface 5 may be an exterior wall surface of a building. In addition, the plurality of panels 10 are plate-shaped members, and are arranged so that the plate surface is approximately parallel to the arrangement surface 5.

[0024] Each panel 10 displays a design. By displaying a design on the panels 10, it is possible to impart design to the panel set 1. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the multiple panels 10 may display different designs, but it is preferable that the multiple panels 10 display a unified design as a whole. For example, the panels 10 each display a different wood grain design. Alternatively, the multiple panels 10 may display one design as a whole. Note that in FIG. 2, the panels 10 are shown displaying designs by hatching, but for ease of illustration, hatching indicating that the panels 10 display designs is omitted in figures other than FIG. 2.

[0025] Fig. 3 shows an example of a state in which the panel set 1 is performing its functions. As shown in Fig. 3, the panels 10 may each have a different function. Also, some panels 10 may display a design but may not have a function. Fig. 3 shows examples of functions performed by the panels 10, such as displaying images and videos, playing audio and music, and providing directional lighting.

[0026] The multiple panels 10 are detachable from the arrangement surface 5. Each panel 10 can be easily arranged on the arrangement surface 5. Also, a panel 10 can be replaced with another panel. By replacing the panel 10, a panel 10 displaying a desired design and / or having a desired function can be arranged at any position in the panel set 1.

[0027] In the examples shown in Figures 2 and 3, the panel 10 is quadrangular, particularly rectangular, when viewed from the front, but may be any shape. However, in order to arrange the panel 10 in the panel set 1 with a high degree of freedom, the panel 10 is preferably a square or a combination of multiple squares of the same size when viewed from the front. For example, the length of the long side of the panel 10 is 45 cm or more and 180 cm or less, and the length in the direction perpendicular to the long side is 45 cm or more and 180 cm or less. Note that the front view refers to observation from the normal direction of the plate surface of the panel 10.

[0028] Fig. 4 shows an exploded perspective view of one panel 10. As shown in Fig. 4, the panel 10 has a design portion 11, a functional portion 20, and a retaining portion 15. The retaining portion 15 and the functional portion 20 are covered by the design portion 11. Note that the non-functional panel 10 does not have the functional portion 20, but has the same configuration as the functional panel 10 in other configurations. In the panel set 1, at least one panel 10 has the functional portion 20.

[0029] The design part 11 displays a design. The design displayed by the design part 11 becomes the design displayed by the panel 10. In order to allow the design displayed by the design part 11 to be observed, the design part 11 is disposed on the opposite side of the placement surface 5 with respect to the holding part 15 and the functional part 20. The design displayed by the design part 11 may be formed by printing on the surface of the design part 11, or may be formed by providing an uneven shape on the surface of the design part 11, or may be formed by a combination of these. Such a design part 11 displays a design both in a state in which the functional part 20 is functioning and in a state in which it is not functioning. Examples of the design displayed by the design part 11 include pictures such as figures, patterns, designs, colors, pictures, photographs, characters, marks, pictograms, letters, and numbers. In particular, examples of designs that harmonize with the surrounding environment include wood grain or marble patterns and geometric patterns.

[0030] The design part 11 covers the holding part 15 and the functional part 20. The holding part 15 and the functional part 20 are arranged on the arrangement surface 5 side of the design part 11. Therefore, the design part 11 conceals the holding part 15 and the functional part 20 so that they cannot be observed from the outside. In order that the design part 11 can cover the holding part 15 and the functional part 20, the dimensions of the design part 11 in a front view are larger than the dimensions of the holding part 15 and the functional part 20 in a front view.

[0031] The shape of the design portion 11 in a front view corresponds to the shape of the panel 10. In the example shown in Fig. 4, the design portion 11 is rectangular, particularly square, in a front view. For example, the length of the long side of the design portion 11 in a front view is 45 cm or more and 180 cm or less, and the length in a direction perpendicular to the long side is 45 cm or more and 180 cm or less. The design portion 11 is a plate-like member. The thickness of the design portion 11 is, for example, 5 mm or more and 20 mm or less.

[0032] The design part 11 is detachable from the panel 10. That is, the design part 11 can be replaced with another design part. This makes it possible to easily change the design displayed by the panel 10 to a desired design.

[0033] FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a portion of the design portion 11. As shown in FIG. 5, the design portion 11 is provided with a plurality of transmission portions 12. The design portion 11 can transmit light, sound, air, particulate matter, and the like at the transmission portions 12. The transmission portions 12 are, for example, openings. When only light is transmitted through the transmission portions 12, the transmission portions 12 may be formed of a transparent resin or the like. In the illustrated example, the transmission portions 12 are arranged in a lattice pattern. Also, each transmission portion 12 is a circular hole. However, the illustrated example is not limiting, and the transmission portions 12 may be arranged and shaped in any manner.

[0034] The holding portion 15 holds the design portion 11 and the functional portion 20. In the illustrated example, the holding portion 15 is a frame-shaped member. An example of a cross section of the panel 10 and other examples are shown in FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B. In the example shown in FIG. 6A, the holding portion 15 has an opening 15a at the center. On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 6B, the holding portion 15 has a recess 15b at the center. The holding portion 15 can hold the functional portion 20 at the opening 15a or the recess 15b. The dimensions of the opening 15a and the recess 15b correspond to the dimensions of the functional portion 20 to be held. In addition, the holding portion 15 has an engagement portion (not shown) on the side facing the design portion 11, and the engagement portion engages with an engagement portion (not shown) provided on the side of the design portion 11 facing the holding portion 15, so that the holding portion 15 can hold the design portion 11. It should be noted that the holding portion 15 is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and may hold the design portion 11 and the functional portion 20 by other means.

[0035] The thickness of the retaining portion 15 can be appropriately set according to the thickness of the functional portion 20 that the retaining portion 15 retains, or according to the distance set between the arrangement surface 5 and the design portion 11. The thickness of the retaining portion 15 is, for example, 15 mm or more and 50 mm or less.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 4, the holding portion 15 includes a wiring 16. The wiring 16 is electrically connected to the functional portion 20 held by the holding portion 15. The wiring 16 is conductive. The wiring 16 extends linearly between the outer periphery of the holding portion 15 and the opening 15a or the recess 15b that holds the functional portion 20. Preferably, the wiring 16 extends from one outer periphery of the holding portion 15 across the opening 15a or the recess 15b to the other outer periphery of the holding portion 15. This allows the wiring 16 to electrically connect the functional portion 20 to another member that contacts the outer periphery of the holding portion 15. The wiring 16 is made of, for example, a thin wire of copper or aluminum.

[0037] Fig. 7 shows the panel set 1 shown in Figs. 2 and 3 with the design portion 11 removed from the panel 10. Thus, Fig. 7 shows the retaining portion 15 and functional portion 20 that were covered by the design portion 11 of each panel 10. As shown in Fig. 7, the wiring 16 is electrically connected to the wiring 16 in adjacent panels 10. The wiring 16 supplies power from an external power source to the functional portion 20 in each panel 10. Alternatively, the wiring 16 transmits information between adjacent panels 10.

[0038] The functional unit 20 can perform a desired function. Examples of the functional unit 20 include a detection unit 21 that detects information outside the panel set 1, an action unit 22 that performs an action on the outside of the panel set 1, a communication unit 23 that transmits and / or receives information from the outside of the panel set 1, and a control unit 24 that controls the other functional units 20. The functional unit 20 has various configurations according to the function to be performed. The functional unit 20 has a dimension that allows it to be held by the opening 15a and recess 15b of the holding unit 15.

[0039] The panel set 1 has, in particular, a panel 10 having a detection unit 21 as the functional unit 20, and a panel 10 having an action unit 22 as the functional unit 20. The panel 10 having the detection unit 21 and the panel 10 having the action unit 22 may be the same panel 10 or different panels 10. In the example shown in FIG. 7, two or more panels 10 have a functional unit 20, particularly the detection unit 21 or the action unit 22. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the panel set 1 has a panel 10 having a communication unit 23 as the functional unit 20, and a panel 10 having a control unit 24 as the functional unit 20. In the example shown, the panel 10 having the communication unit 23 and the panel 10 having the control unit 24 are the same panel 10, but may be different panels 10. Furthermore, the panel set 1 has a panel 10 that does not have a functional unit 20.

[0040] 7, one panel 10 may have multiple functional units 20. Also, a certain detection unit 21 may detect an object different from that of the other detection units 21. Furthermore, a certain action unit 22 may perform an action different from that of the other action units 22.

[0041] Hereinafter, as examples of the functional unit 20, the detection unit 21, the action unit 22, the communication unit 23, and the control unit 24 will be described.

[0042] The detection unit 21 detects information about the surroundings of the panel set 1, such as the voice of the person 3 around the panel set 1, the body temperature, heart rate, movement, and other conditions of the person 3. Alternatively, the detection unit 21 detects the temperature, humidity, brightness, and the like in the location where the panel set 1 is installed. As specific examples, the detection unit 21 may be a microphone, a camera, a temperature sensor, a motion sensor, a thermometer, a hygrometer, and a light meter. However, the detection unit 21 is not limited to these examples. The information detected by the detection unit 21 can be transmitted to other functional units 20 via the wiring 16.

[0043] The action unit 22 performs actions that stimulate the visual, auditory, olfactory, or tactile senses, such as displaying images or videos, playing audio or music, lighting, blowing air, humidifying, discharging water, and emitting fragrance. Light, sound, air flow, moisture, and substances that are the source of fragrance are released to the outside from the panel 10 through the transparent part 12 of the design part 11. In particular, the action unit 22 performs an action based on information detected by the detection unit 21. Alternatively, the action unit 22 performs an action based on information received by the communication unit 23 described later. Alternatively, the action unit 22 performs an action while being controlled by the control unit 24 described later. For example, the brightness of lighting and the direction of air blowing are adjusted based on information detected by the detection unit 21. As specific examples, the action unit 22 may be a display, a speaker, a light, a blower, a humidifier, a spray, or a fragrance generating device. However, the action unit 22 is not limited to these examples. The action unit 22 can receive information from other functional units 20 via the wiring 16.

[0044] The communication unit 23 receives information on the action performed by the action unit 22 from outside the panel set 1. The communication unit 23 may also transmit information detected by the detection unit 21 to outside the panel set 1. In particular, the communication unit 23 can receive information on the action performed by the action unit 22 from outside the panel set 1 by transmitting information detected by the detection unit 21 to outside the panel set 1. The communication unit 23 transmits and / or receives information via a communication line such as the Internet. The communication unit 23 can receive information from other functional units 20 or transmit information to other functional units 20 via the wiring 16.

[0045] The control unit 24 controls the action unit 22. In particular, the control unit 24 controls the action unit 22 based on information detected by the detection unit 21. The control unit 24 may control the action unit 22 based on information detected indirectly by the detection unit 21, rather than directly based on information detected by the detection unit 21. For example, the communication unit 23 may receive information from the outside based on information detected by the detection unit 21, and the control unit 24 may control the action unit 22 based on the information received by the communication unit 23. The control unit 24 can also control a plurality of action units 22 simultaneously. For example, the control unit 24 can display a video on the action unit 22 that is a display, while playing audio or music that matches the video on another action unit 22 that is a speaker.

[0046] 7 illustrates an example of the arrangement of the detection unit 21, the action unit 22, the communication unit 23, and the control unit 24. In the example illustrated in FIG. 7, one panel 10 has the detection unit 21, the action unit 22, the communication unit 23, and the control unit 24. However, this is not limited to the illustrated example, and the detection unit 21, the action unit 22, the communication unit 23, and the control unit 24 can be arranged in any manner. Alternatively, the panel 10 may have a functional unit 20 other than the detection unit 21, the action unit 22, the communication unit 23, and the control unit 24.

[0047] As shown in Fig. 7, the functional units 20 are connected to each other via wiring 16. In the example shown in Fig. 7, one panel 10 further includes a plug 17. The plug 17 supplies power from the outside. The plug 17 is also connected to the wiring 16. Therefore, the functional units 20 are supplied with power via the plug 17 and the wiring 16.

[0048] Such a plurality of panels 10 are arranged based on the design displayed by the design unit 11 and the function of the functional unit 20, particularly the detection unit 21 or the action unit 22. In other words, each panel 10 has the design unit 11 and the functional unit 20 so as to display a desired design at a desired position and perform a desired function. For example, the multiple panels 10 are arranged so that the design displayed by the design unit 11 becomes darker from top to bottom on the arrangement surface 5 on which the panels 10 are arranged, forming a so-called light-dark gradation. Alternatively, the multiple panels 10 are arranged so that the multiple speakers serving as the action unit 22 produce three-dimensional sound, so-called stereo sound.

[0049] Next, we will explain an example of how to use such a panel set 1. In the panel set 1, the design displayed by the design portion 11 of each panel 10 is observed. In particular, even when the functional portion 20 of each panel 10 is not functioning, the design displayed by the design portion 11 is observed. The design displayed by the design portion 11 imparts designability to the panel set 1.

[0050] Furthermore, the panel set 1 detects information from the person 3 using the detection unit 21. The detection unit 21 transmits the detected information to the communication unit 23. The communication unit 23 communicates with the outside based on the information from the detection unit 21 and receives information from the outside. The communication unit 23 transmits the information from the outside to the control unit 24. The control unit 24 controls the action unit 22 based on the information from the outside. The action unit 22 performs a predetermined action while being controlled by the control unit 24. In this way, the action unit 22 performs an action based on the information detected by the detection unit 21.

[0051] The following is a specific example of how to use the panel set 1. However, the present embodiment is not limited to the following example.

[0052] For example, in panel set 1, detection unit 21 detects a voice uttered by person 3 specifying a service that person 3 wishes to receive. As a more specific example, person 3 specifies a work that he or she wishes to watch. Detection unit 21 transmits this information to communication unit 23. Communication unit 23 transmits information on the service specified by person 3, for example the name of the work, and receives information on the corresponding service, for example data on the work. The received information is transmitted to control unit 24. Control unit 24 controls action unit 22. Action unit 22 executes the service that person 3 wishes to receive in accordance with the control of control unit 24. As a specific example, action unit 22 displays an image or video of the work specified by person 3 and / or plays audio or music.

[0053] For example, in the panel set 1, the detection unit 21 detects the health condition, such as the body temperature and heart rate, of the person 3 located around the panel set 1. When the detection unit 21 determines that the measured health condition is poor, for example, when the body temperature is higher than normal or the heart rate is faster than normal, the detection unit 21 transmits the measured health condition information of the person 3 to the action unit 22. Based on the transmitted information, the action unit 22 warns the person 3 that his / her health condition is poor. For example, the action unit 22 warns the person 3 that his / her health condition is poor by an image, a sound, or lighting. The health condition of the person 3 is detected by the detection unit 21 through the transparent part 12 of the design part 11. Since the detection unit 21 is concealed by the design part 11, the panel set 1 having the detection unit 21 can be provided to match the surrounding landscape regardless of the appearance of the detection unit 21.

[0054] For example, in panel set 1, detection unit 21 detects the movement of person 3 located in the vicinity of panel set 1. While detecting the movement of person 3, detection unit 21 photographs and records the movement of person 3. Note that since detection unit 21 is concealed by design portion 11, it is possible to detect and photograph the movement of person 3 without the person 3 noticing.

[0055] For example, in panel set 1, action unit 22 displays images or videos of signs or advertisements so that they can be observed from the periphery of panel set 1. Instead of displaying the signs or advertisements, or in conjunction with the display of the signs or advertisements, action unit 22 may play sounds or music that represent the signs or advertisements. Information on the signs or advertisements that action unit 22 displays or plays may be information received from an external source by communication unit 23. Furthermore, such information may be periodically distributed from an external source via communication unit 23.

[0056] For example, the panel set 1 provides a service that creates a space. Specifically, in the panel set 1, the detection unit 21 detects the state of the person 3 located in the vicinity of the panel set 1. Information on the state of the person 3 detected by the detection unit 21 is transmitted to the action unit 22. The action unit 22 executes an action according to the state of the person 3. As a more specific example, when the person 3 is observed to be in a restless state, light, music, and fragrance are provided to create a space to calm the person 3. In addition, the functional unit 20 is concealed by the design unit 11. The panel 10 and the panel set 1 can be harmonized with the surrounding environment by the design displayed by the design unit 11 without the functional unit 20 being visually recognized and harmed. In this way, the design of the design unit 11 and the function of the functional unit 20 can create a space.

[0057] The provision of a space created by the panel set 1 can provide an inspiring life for the person 3 in the space, which will enable them to live a long and healthy life.

[0058] In this way, the panel set 1 can provide various services through the functions of the functional unit 20. In particular, the panel set 1 can provide services tailored to the needs of the person 3.

[0059] However, as described above, conventional panels only provide a design to the surface on which they are placed, and do not have the function of providing services to people. Therefore, they cannot fully improve the surrounding environment around the panel, particularly the living environment when the panel is installed on an indoor wall.

[0060] On the other hand, in the panel set 1 of the present embodiment, at least one panel 10 has a detection unit 21 or an action unit 22 covered by the design unit 11. As described above, the detection unit 21 and the action unit 22 can provide a service to the person 3. Furthermore, since the detection unit 21 and the action unit 22 are covered by the design unit 11, they are difficult to see from the outside. Therefore, the panel set 1 can provide a service to the person 3 while imparting an excellent design to the arrangement surface 5.

[0061] Furthermore, the action unit 22 executes an action based on the information detected by the detection unit 21. The detection unit 21 detects information from the person 3 and information on the surrounding environment of the panel set 1. This makes it possible to provide a service desired by the person 3. Alternatively, it is possible to provide an appropriate service according to the situation of the person 3 or the surrounding environment of the panel set 1.

[0062] At least one panel 10 has a control unit 24 that controls the action unit 22. The control unit 24 controls the action unit 22, so that the action of the action unit 22 can be executed at an appropriate timing. Also, the actions of a plurality of action units 22 can be executed in combination. In this way, the control unit 24 can provide services more appropriately.

[0063] At least one panel 10 has a communication unit 23 capable of receiving information on the action performed by the action unit 22 from outside the panel set 1. Receiving information via the communication unit 23 allows the action unit 22 to provide a variety of services. In other words, it is possible to provide a service desired by the person 3 or a more appropriate service according to the situation of the person 3.

[0064] The design portion 11 is provided with a plurality of transmission portions 12. The detection portion 21 can easily detect peripheral information of the panel 10 through the transmission portions 12. In addition, the action portion 22 can more appropriately act on the person 3 through the transmission portions 12.

[0065] The design part 11 is detachable from the panel 10. That is, the design part 11 can be replaced with another design part. This makes it possible to easily change the design displayed by the panel 10 to a desired design.

[0066] The panel 10 is detachable from the arrangement surface 5. That is, the panel 10 can be replaced with another panel. This allows the panel 10 displaying a desired design and / or having a desired function to be arranged at any position in the panel set 1.

[0067] The two panels 10 having the detection unit 21 or the action unit 22 are electrically connected. Therefore, the detection units 21 or the action units 22 of the two panels 10 can share one power source. Alternatively, information can be transmitted between the detection units 21 or the action units 22 of the two panels 10.

[0068] As described above, the panel set 1 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of panels 10 arranged on the arrangement surface 5, the panels 10 having design portions 11 that display designs, and at least one panel 10 further having a detection portion 21 that is covered by the design portion 11 and detects information about the surroundings of the panel 10, or an action portion 22 that performs an action of stimulating the senses of sight, hearing, smell, or touch. Such a panel set 1 makes it possible to provide services by the detection portion 21 or the action portion 22. Furthermore, since the detection portion 21 and the action portion 22 are covered by the design portion 11, they are difficult to see from the outside. Therefore, the panel set 1 can provide services to people while imparting design to the arrangement surface.

[0069] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. The present invention includes various modifications that a person skilled in the art can conceive of for the above-mentioned embodiment, and various additions, modifications, partial deletions, etc. are possible within the scope of the conceptual idea and intent of the present invention.
