MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the invention according to the claims is not limited to the following embodiments. In addition, not all the configurations described in the present embodiment are necessarily essential as means for solving the problem. For clarity of explanation, the following description and drawings are omitted and simplified as appropriate. In each drawing, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations are omitted as necessary.

[0011] (First Embodiment) <Display Holding Device> With reference to FIGS. 1 to 10, a display holding device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. The display holding device 1 according to the present embodiment is a device for holding one or more displays D.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a front view of the display holding device according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a top view of the display holding device according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a side view of the display holding device according to the first embodiment. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the display holding device according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the display holding device 1 according to the present embodiment may be used by fixing the entire display holding device 1 to a table T (which may also be a desk) by, for example, a leg fixing jig 302 (see FIG. 3) described later.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, in this example, the display holding device 1 can hold up to three displays D, and includes two rod-shaped members 101, 101. Further, as will be described later, the display holding device 1 may include three display fixing jigs 200 for three displays D. In this example, the display holding device 1 also includes two leg portions 300 that hold at least one of the two rod-shaped members 101, 101, but the means for holding the two rod-shaped members 101, 101 is not limited to the leg portions 300, and any means may be used. Further, the display holding device 1 may be configured to hold four or more displays D by, for example, placing each display D vertically.

[0014] Here, in this example, a case where the display holding device 1 includes two rod-shaped members 101, 101 is shown as an example, but the number of rod-shaped members 101 is not limited to two. For example, the number of rod-shaped members 101 may be one or three or more, as long as it does not hinder the movement of the display D as described later. However, hereinafter, a case where the number of rod-shaped members 101 is two will be representatively described in detail.

[0015] Furthermore, while this example shows the case where the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 extend horizontally, the display holder 1 may be installed and fixed so that these rod-shaped objects 101, 101 extend vertically, depending on the application of the display holder 1.

[0016] As shown in Figure 2, each of the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 is a rod shape with an arc-shaped curved structure. In this example, when viewed from above the display holding device 1, the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 completely overlap, so only one rod-shaped object 101 is shown in Figure 2. Here, the arc of each rod-shaped object 101 is part or all of an arc made of a perfect circle. By arranging the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 in this configuration, they can be passed through each ring 201 of the display fixing jig 200, which will be described later, and the display fixing jig 200 can be fixed in a predetermined position by fasteners such as bolts and nuts (not shown).

[0017] As shown in Figure 1, the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 are connected at both ends by rod-shaped object joints 102, 102. The two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 are firmly fixed at a predetermined height by the two legs 300 and the rod-shaped object joints 102, 102, which will be described later. The display holding device 1 may also be equipped with a rod-shaped object joint (not shown) that has a separate leg (for example, a leg that serves as a base when installed on a table T) in place of the rod-shaped object joints 102. This can increase the stability of the display holding device 1 after installation.

[0018] Here, the cross-section of each rod-shaped object 101, 101 perpendicular to the extension direction is a perfect circle. By using rod-shaped objects 101, 101 with a perfect circle cross-section in this way, each ring 201 of the display fixing jig 200 can be easily slid on its surface. Note that the cross-section perpendicular to the extension direction of each rod-shaped object 101, 101 is not limited to a perfect circle. This cross-section may be a polygon such as an ellipse or an octagon, as long as each ring 201 of the display fixing jig 200 can slide on it. In this way, each ring 201 of the display fixing jig 200 can slide on each rod-shaped object 101, 101, so that the display D can be moved smoothly and easily. Although not shown in the figures, each rod-shaped object 101, 101 may be hollow, such as a pipe or tube, or it may be solid (not hollow inside), such as a wooden or metal rod. Furthermore, the material of each rod-shaped object 101, 101 can be any material, such as plastic or iron, as long as it can ensure sufficient strength to hold the display D.

[0019] The three display fixing jigs 200 each fix the target display D to two rod-shaped objects 101, 101. As shown in Figure 1, each display fixing jig 200 comprises two rings 201, 201 through which the upper rod-shaped object 101 passes, two rings 201, 201 through which the lower rod-shaped object 101 passes, two ring joints 202 that position the upper and lower rings 201, 201 at the same position when viewed from above, and a fixing bracket 203 fixed between the two ring joints 202, 202. As shown in Figure 1, the four rings 201, 201, 201, 201 are fixed to the two ring joints 202, 202 with bolts and nuts, and the fixing bracket 203 is fixed between the two ring joints 202, 202 with bolts and nuts.

[0020] The mounting bracket 203 is fixed to the back of a separately installed display D and is intended to hold the display D at a predetermined height. A through hole (not shown) is provided on the back of the display D, and the display D is fixed to the mounting bracket 203 by bolts and nuts through the through hole. However, the display D may also be fixed to the mounting bracket 203 by fasteners other than bolts and nuts (not shown), taking into consideration stability issues.

[0021] In this embodiment, the display fixing jig 200 may be configured to be detachable from the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 by completely opening the ring 201. Alternatively, the display fixing jig 200 may be slidable from the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101, and detachable from the ends of each rod-shaped object 101 by removing one of the rod-shaped object joints 102. Even if the display fixing jig 200 is configured in this way, the display D can be moved smoothly and easily, just as when each ring 201 is slidable.

[0022] The two legs 300 are designed to hold at least one of the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101, separated by a predetermined distance so that each rod-shaped object appears arc-shaped when viewed from a predetermined direction and is parallel to the other. By holding the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 in an arc shape and parallel to each other, the display D can be moved smoothly and easily. As shown in Figure 3, each leg 300 is equipped with two rod-shaped object fixing parts 301, 301 corresponding to the two upper and lower rod-shaped objects 101, 101, and a leg fixing jig 302 for inserting into the depth edge of the table T on which the display holding device 1 is installed and fixing the display holding device 1. If the configuration is to hold only one of the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101, then only one rod-shaped object fixing part 301 is required on each leg 300.

[0023] Each rod-shaped object fixing part 301 is designed to hold and fix the corresponding rod-shaped object 101. Although not shown in the diagram, each rod-shaped object fixing part 301 is equipped with a jig for gripping and securely fixing the corresponding rod-shaped object 101, and after the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 are installed, these jigs are used to fix the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101.

[0024] The leg fixing jig 302 is provided at the bottom of each leg 300 and is for fixing the entire display holder 1 to the table T. The leg fixing jig 302 can be, for example, a clamp structure such as a vise to firmly fix the leg 300 onto the table T. However, the leg fixing jig 302 can have any structure as long as it can firmly fix the leg 300 onto the table T.

[0025] Alternatively, instead of providing a leg fixing jig 302, the leg portion 300 may be configured to have a base that serves as a foundation, allowing the display holding device 1 to be directly installed on the table T. This makes it possible to install the display holding device 1, which has a predetermined number of displays D fixed to it, on a general-purpose table or desk. In this case, a separate means for fixing it to the table or the like may be provided.

[0026] Here, the two legs 300 fix the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 in parallel so that their arc shapes overlap when viewed from a predetermined direction. By fixing the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 in this way, the display D can be moved smoothly and easily. The predetermined direction is not limited to the vertical direction, but may also be a direction inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the vertical direction. In this case, the positions of the two rod-shaped object fixing parts 301, 301 on the upper and lower legs 300 will also shift in the depth direction of the table T in accordance with the inclination angle. The user of the display holding device 1 can select the arrangement variation of the two rod-shaped object fixing parts 301, 301 according to the desired degree of inclination of the display D.

[0027] Although not shown in the figures, the display holder 1 may also include a movement mechanism that moves the upper rod-shaped object fixing part 301, the lower rod-shaped object fixing part 301, or both, in the depth direction of the table T relative to the upper rod-shaped object fixing part 301. Furthermore, the display holder 1 may also include another movement mechanism that moves the upper and lower rod-shaped objects 101, 101 together vertically relative to the main body of the leg part 300 (or the table surface of the table T). These mechanisms allow for easy adjustment of the tilt angle of the display D according to the user's seating height, etc.

[0028] Furthermore, the display holder 1 does not have to be of the type that is installed on a table T, by changing the configuration of the legs 300, 300. For example, if each leg 300 is long in the vertical direction so that it can be installed directly on the floor and has a base that can be installed on the floor, the predetermined direction may be the horizontal direction. Alternatively, if the table T has a through hole in the center and the display fixing jig 200 can be installed so that it faces approximately upward with two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 fixed by two rod-shaped joints 102, the predetermined direction may also be the horizontal direction. In these cases, the user of the display holder 1 will view the one or more displays D held by the display holder 1 in a posture that looks down (looks diagonally downward), as long as the distance between the user's eyes and the displays D can be secured as described later.

[0029] <Display holding device after display retention> Next, the state in which the display holding device 1 according to this embodiment holds the displays D will be described. Figure 5 is a top view showing an example of the state in which the display holding device 1 according to Embodiment 1 holds three displays D. Figure 6 is a perspective view showing an example of the state in which the display holding device 1 according to Embodiment 1 holds three displays D.

[0030] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the display D is held by the fixing brackets 203 of each display fixing jig 200 of the display holding device 1. As can be seen from Figures 5 and 6, the display direction of the display D is directed toward the center of the perfect circle formed by the arcs of the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101. Therefore, by positioning the user's head near the center of the perfect circle, the user of the display holding device 1 can view all of the displays D at a constant distance. The user's field of view in this case will be described later with reference to the drawings.

[0031] In this embodiment, the display size of the display screen of the display D is not particularly limited. When the display holding device 1 holds three displays D, the size of the display screen of each display D should be determined so that adjacent displays D do not overlap.

[0032] In this embodiment, the display holding device 1 may hold only two displays D. In that case, since there is some leeway in the length of the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101, the placement of the displays D relative to the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 can be set according to the user's needs.

[0033] Figure 7 shows an example of the display holding device 1 according to Embodiment 1, in which two displays D are held. Note that, in order to simplify the figure, the legs 300, 300 of the display holding device 1 are not shown in Figure 7.

[0034] For example, as shown in Figure 7(a), the display D on the right side from the user's perspective may be removed, and the remaining two displays D, D may be positioned closer to the center of the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 in the longitudinal direction (the direction in which the arc extends). This allows the user of the display holding device 1 to view the two displays D, D at the same distance. Therefore, compared to the display fixing device of Patent Document 1, the user of the display holding device 1 can view the two displays D, D without any discomfort.

[0035] Subsequently, as shown in Figure 7(b), the two displays D, D, which were positioned towards the longitudinal center of the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 at the time of Figure 7(a), may be moved to the left. In this case as well, the user of the display holding device 1 will view the two displays D, D at the same distance. Thus, the display holding device 1 according to Embodiment 1 can increase the versatility of the arrangement of the displays D.

[0036] <User visibility and operability> Next, we will describe the user's visibility and operability of the display holding device 1 according to Embodiment 1. First, we will describe the various fields of view in the vertical direction. Figure 8 is a schematic diagram showing the various fields of view in the vertical direction of the display holding device 1 according to Embodiment 1. Note that the display D is not shown in Figure 8.

[0037] The user U of the display holder 1 sits in a chair and faces the display holder 1, which is installed on a table T. When viewing the display D, the user's optimal field of view is within a 30° range downward from the standard line of sight, which is horizontal to the user's line of sight, and the center of this range is the user's normal line of sight. In the example shown in Figure 8, the maximum field of view when the eyeballs rotate while facing forward is 25° above and 35° below the standard line of sight. Also, the possible field of view when the head rotates while facing forward is 65° above and 50° below the standard line of sight. In the display holder 1 of this embodiment, the predetermined distance between the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101, the height of the legs 300 from the table surface, etc., should be determined by considering the size of the table T and these field of view angles.

[0038] Next, we will describe the various horizontal fields of view. Figure 9 is a schematic diagram showing the various horizontal fields of view for the display holding device 1 according to Embodiment 1. Note that the display D is also shown in Figure 9.

[0039] Similar to various vertical field of view cases, the user U of the display holder 1 sits in a chair and faces the display holder 1, which is installed on a table T. The normal line of sight is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the table T. The optimal field of view is within a 15° range to the left and right of this normal line of sight. In the example shown in Figure 9, the maximum field of view when the eyeballs rotate while facing the user is within a 35° range to the left and right of the normal line of sight. Also, the possible field of view when the head rotates while facing the user is within a 60° range to the left and right of the normal line of sight. In the display holder 1 of this embodiment, the length of the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 and the screen size of the display D to be installed should be determined by considering the size of the table T and these field of view angles.

[0040] Next, the relationship between the user U and each display D will be explained. Figure 10 is a schematic diagram showing the distances to each part of the display holding device 1 according to Embodiment 1. First, let's consider the size of the table T on which the display holding device 1 is installed. Considering the convenience of the user U who uses multiple displays D, the width W of the table T is preferably in the range of 1200 to 1800 mm. The length of the table T in the depth direction is not particularly limited, as long as the display holding device 1 can be installed on it.

[0041] Next, various sources state that the optimal distance between the user U's eyes and the display screen of the display D is 450 to 700 mm. Furthermore, by rotating the user U's head with the area near the back of the head as the center of rotation O, the display D can be considered as a chord corresponding to a part of the arc of each rod-shaped object 101. Therefore, the distance between the user U's eyes and the display screen of each display D can be kept approximately constant. As a result, the user U of the display holding device 1 does not need to change their focus when shifting their gaze from the display D they are currently viewing to another display D, and can quickly view images or videos on the other display D.

[0042] Here, the vertical width of the head of a typical adult male or female, that is, the distance from the back of the head to the center of both eyes (vertical width of the head), is statistically about 167 to 203 mm. If we add this distance directly to the optimal range of the above distance, the distance a from the head rotation center O to the display D will be in the optimal range of 617 to 903 mm. The radius r of each rod-shaped object 101 should be greater than or equal to this distance a if it is possible to move the display D to about the extent of the tangent line touching the arc of each rod-shaped object 101. In other words, the radius of the perfect circle forming the arc of each rod-shaped object 101 should be 617 mm or more.

[0043] To determine the radius r of each rod-shaped object 101, the width of the fixing bracket 203 of the display fixing jig 200 and the thickness of the display D must be considered. Also, considering the width dimension of the table T, in this example, the maximum value of the radius r of each rod-shaped object 101 is approximately 1039 mm. In other words, the radius of the perfect circle forming the arc of each rod-shaped object 101 should be 1039 mm or less.

[0044] By setting the radius r of each rod-shaped object 101, which is an arc of a perfect circle, in this way, the visibility of all displays D can be improved for the user of the display holding device 1. Furthermore, if an input device connected to a computer (not shown) is provided, its operability can also be improved.

[0045] In the display holding device 1, the radius r of the perfect circle formed by the arc of each rod-shaped object 101 is fixed to a single value. However, a mechanism may be provided to adjust the position of the fixing bracket 203 with respect to the radius r in order to set the distance a from the head rotation center O to the display D within the range of the above-mentioned optimal value. This improves the visibility of all displays D for the user of the display holding device 1.

[0046] As described above, the display holding device 1 according to this embodiment is a display holding device 1 for holding one or more (three in this example) displays D, and comprises two rod-shaped objects 101, 101, each having an arc-shaped curved structure, and the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 are configured to appear arc-shaped from a predetermined direction and be held at a predetermined distance apart so as to be parallel to each other. By configuring the display holding device 1 in this way, one or more displays D are held in a position like a chord relative to a part of the arc shape of the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101. Therefore, the distance between the head rotation center O and each display D becomes constant, and the user of the display holding device 1 can comfortably view one or more displays D. Furthermore, since the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 are fixed in an arc shape and parallel to each other, the movement of the displays D can be performed smoothly and easily.

[0047] Furthermore, in the display holding device 1 according to this embodiment, the arcs of the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 are part or all of a circle, allowing the rings 201, 201 of the display fixing jig 200 to slide easily. This allows the display D to be moved smoothly and easily, and therefore, the user of the display holding device 1 can select the desired position of the display D.

[0048] Furthermore, in the display holding device 1 according to this embodiment, the radius r of the perfect circle formed by the arcs of the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 should be between 617 mm and 1039 mm, taking into consideration the optimal range of distance between the user U's eyes and the display screen of the display D. Since this range roughly coincides with the size of a typical office desk (table), the versatility of the display holding device 1 can be improved.

[0049] Furthermore, the display holding device 1 according to this embodiment may include one or more (three in this example) display fixing jigs 200 for fixing each of the one or more displays D to at least one of the two rod-shaped objects 101. Each display fixing jig 200 only needs to be detachable or slidable from at least one of the rod-shaped objects 101. By configuring the display holding device 1 in this way, the movement of the displays D can be made even smoother and easier.

[0050] (Embodiment 2) <Console System> Next, with reference to Figures 11 to 13, a console system according to Embodiment 2 of this disclosure will be described. The console system C according to this embodiment is a console system that includes a display holding device 2 similar to the display holding device 1 according to Embodiment 1, as will be described later. In each part of the display holding device 2, the same reference numerals are used for members that are the same as or similar to those in the display holding device 1, and redundant explanations are omitted as appropriate.

[0051] Figure 11 is a perspective view of the console system C according to Embodiment 2, taken from the front at an angle. Figure 12 is a perspective view of the console system C according to Embodiment 2, taken from the rear at an angle. As shown in Figures 11 and 12, the console system C according to this embodiment comprises a display holding device 2 and a console table T1.

[0052] Similar to the display holder 1, the display holder 2 is capable of holding up to three displays D and comprises two rod-shaped objects 101, 101, three display fixing jigs 200 for the three displays D, and two legs 400. The display holder 2 may also be configured to hold four or more displays D, for example, by arranging each display D vertically. The console table T1 comprises various input devices arranged on the table and two legs 400 for fixing the table surface.

[0053] Thus, the two legs 400 of the console table T1 also serve as the two legs 400 of the display holding device 2. A reinforcing plate, as shown in Figure 12, may be provided between the two legs 400. Furthermore, similar to Embodiment 1, the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 may be held at a predetermined distance apart by means other than the legs 400, such that they appear in the arc shape from a predetermined direction and are parallel to each other.

[0054] In this example, the console table T1 includes, as various input devices, three touch panels TP (two horizontal and one vertical), an electronic pen holder P, a touchpad TD, and a keyboard KB on its panel. A keyboard cover KBC is provided above the keyboard KB. Note that the input devices of the console table T1 are not limited to this combination, and other configurations may be used.

[0055] When a user of console system C makes an input to these input devices, the corresponding image or video output is displayed on display D via a game device or computer (not shown).

[0056] Since the display holding device 2 of the console system C has the same configuration as the display holding device 1 according to Embodiment 1, it can achieve the same functions and effects as the display holding device 1 described in Embodiment 1.

[0057] Here, the display holding device 2 of the console system C according to this embodiment may hold only two displays D. In that case, since there is some leeway in the length of the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101, the placement of the displays D relative to the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 can be set according to the user's needs. Figure 13 is a diagram showing an example of the display holding device 2 of the console system C according to Embodiment 2 in a state in which two displays D are held.

[0058] For example, as shown in Figure 13(a), the display D on the left side from the user's perspective may be removed, and the remaining two displays D, D may be positioned closer to the longitudinal center of the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101. This allows the user of the console system C to view the two displays D, D at the same distance. Therefore, compared to the display fixing device of Patent Document 1, the user of the console system C can view the two displays D, D without discomfort.

[0059] Subsequently, as shown in Figure 13(b), the two displays D, D, which were positioned towards the longitudinal center of the two rod-shaped objects 101, 101 at the time of Figure 13(a), may be moved to the right. In this case as well, the user of the console system C will view the two displays D at the same distance. Thus, the display holding device 2 of the console system C according to Embodiment 2 can increase the versatility of the arrangement of the displays D.

[0060] Furthermore, the console system C only needs to fix the height of each display D from the floor, and the height at which each display D is positioned does not depend on the height of the table portion of the console table T1. For example, the table portion of the console table T1 may be omitted by attaching each input device to the user's body, arms, fingers, etc. Also, as long as the three displays D can be fixed in place, the width of the table portion of the console table T1 may be made smaller (more compact) compared to the horizontal length of each rod-shaped object 101, 101.

[0061] As described above, the console system C according to this embodiment is configured to include a display holding device 2 for holding one or more (three in this example) displays D, one or more displays D held by the display holding device 2, and a console table T1 having an input device and legs 400. The legs 400 of the console table T1 may also serve as the legs 400 of the display holding device 2. By configuring the console system C in this way, one or more displays D are held in a position like a chord relative to a part of the arc shape of two rod-shaped objects 101, 101. Therefore, similar to Embodiment 1, the distance between the head rotation center O (see Figure 10) and each display D is constant, and the user of the console system C can comfortably view one or more displays D.

[0062] Although the present disclosure has been described above with reference to embodiments, the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above. Various modifications to the structure and details of the present disclosure can be made as can be understood by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present disclosure. Furthermore, each embodiment can be combined with other embodiments as appropriate.
