As shown in
The display apparatus 201 can simultaneously display local information and remote information that is sent by at least one other display apparatus 201. The local information includes at least one of local image information, local text information or local audio information, and the remote information includes at least one of remote image information, remote text information or remote audio information.
In addition, as for a display apparatus 201, the remote information is information transmitted to the display apparatus 201 by at least one other display apparatus 201, and the local information is information obtained by performing local operations by the display apparatus 201. The display apparatus 201 can perform the local operations independently without interacting with at least one other display apparatus 201. For example, the local operations include: collecting relevant information by a detection device in the display apparatus 201, and storing the collected information in at least one storage medium, such as a memory or a register, of the display apparatus 201. For another example, the local operations include: receiving information from an information input apparatus (e.g., a keyboard) connected to the display apparatus 201, and storing the information in at least one storage medium of the display apparatus 201. For yet another example, the local operations include: receiving information from other storage media (e.g., U-disks and magnetic disks), and storing the received information in at least one storage medium of the display apparatus 201. It will be noted that, the local information are only available to local participants (i.e., participants attending the conference), and it may include at least one of reminder information, warning information, or remark information.
It will be understood that the local information and the remote information are relative concepts. For example, if the first display apparatus 201A transmits information to the second display apparatus 201B, the information is local information for the first display apparatus 201A and is remote information for the second display apparatus 201B. Conversely, if the second display apparatus 201B transmits information to the first display apparatus 201A, the information is local information for the second display apparatus 201B and is remote information for the first display apparatus 201A. Similarly, local participants and remote participants (mentioned later) are also relative concepts. For example, for the participants attending the conference through the first display apparatus 201A, the participants attending the conference through the second display apparatus 201B are remote participants.
In some embodiments, as shown in
The communication system 200 includes a transmission apparatus. For example, the transmission apparatus in the wireless communication system may include optical fibers, and the transmission apparatus in the wired communication system may include wireless base stations. The first display apparatus 201A and the second display apparatus 201B may communicate with the transmission apparatus by means of respective external or built-in transceivers. For example, a built-in transceiver of the first display apparatus 201A receives the remote information that is sent by the second display apparatus 201B and transmitted through the transmission apparatus, and the first display apparatus 201A displays the remote information. In addition, the first display apparatus 201A transmits the stored local information to the second display apparatus 201B through the built-in transceiver of the first display apparatus 201A, and then the information is received by another built-in transceiver of the second display apparatus 201.
In some embodiments, as shown in
Display surfaces of the first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120 may be disposed in a same plane, and the plane is referred to as a display surface of the display apparatus 201.
For example, the first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120 are arranged within the frame 100 along a direction from the bottom of the frame 100 to top of it. In this case, the second display screen 120 may be configured as a main display screen.
In order to facilitate understanding of the display apparatus 201 in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the operation of the display apparatus 201 is described below by taking an example where the application scene of the display apparatus 201 is a business conference and the display apparatus 201 is the first display apparatus 201A. For example, when relevant information needs to be displayed for the local participants, the first display apparatus 201A receives information from the information input apparatus connected to the first display apparatus 201A, and the information, which is defined as local information, is displayed on the first display screen 110. In addition, the first display screen 110 may also display information about the local participants, for example, live video of the local participants. The second display screen 120 may be configured to display remote information sent by at least one other display apparatus 201. For example, the transceiver in the first display apparatus 201A receives information (i.e., the remote information) send by the second display apparatus 201B, and the second display screen 120 displays the remote information.
Since the second display screen 120 can display remote information (such as remote conference images), and the first display screen 110 can display local information (such as reminder information), the display apparatus 201 may display local information and the remote information simultaneously, so as to make the function of the display apparatus 201 diversified. In addition, the first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120 are arranged within the frame body 1001 along the height direction of the frame 100, and the second display screen 120 is relatively higher than the first display screen 110, so that the remote information displayed on the second display screen 120 may be seen by a large number of participants, so as to make the local participants know the content of the remote conference timely and interact with the remote participants in real time.
It will be seen from the above that the display apparatus 201 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may satisfy the demand of local participants to interact with remote participants. Compared with traditional communication means such as the telephone, the display apparatus 201 makes the communication between participants at different conference locations more convenient and efficient, that is, the display apparatus 201 may improve the interactivity and efficiency of the conference.
In some embodiments, the frame 100 may be a fixed frame or a movable frame. For example, when the base assembly 1000 is a movable base assembly, the frame 100 is the movable frame.
In this case, since the first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120 are fixed within the frame body 1001 of the frame 100, the display apparatus 201 has strong mobility and may be moved freely according to actual needs. In addition, in the display apparatus 201, due to the arrangement of the frame 100 of the display apparatus 201, the display apparatus 201 may move freely and is not limited to a certain fixed location, which may make the application of the display apparatus 201 wider; on the other hand, since the first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120 are provided separately, the two display screens may be used to display different information.
In some embodiments, an area of the display surface of the second display screen 120 is greater than an area of the display surface of the first display screen 110. In this way, it may be easier for local participants to view the remote information displayed on the second display screen 120.
In some examples, the first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120 are both in a shape of a rectangle, and width directions of the first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120 and the height direction of the movable frame 10 are the same (i.e., the first direction Y shown in
In some embodiments, the first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120 are light-emitting diode (LED) display screens, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display screens or liquid crystal display (LCD). Of course, other type of display screens may also be used as the first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120 according to actual situations.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some other embodiments, the at least one movable base assembly 1000 includes one (as shown in
It will be noted that a structure of the base 1000A is not limited, as long as the frame body 1001 can be supported and fixed by the base 1000A.
The frame body 1001 is used to carry the first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120. The frame body 1001 has a plurality of accommodation spaces, and the first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120 are located in respective accommodation spaces.
In some embodiments, as shown in
That is, the base assembly 1000, the connecting portion 1001A, the first frame portion 1001B, and the second frame portion 1001C are sequentially arranged along the first direction Y.
In some examples, at least two adjacent members of the base 1000A, the connecting portion 1001A, the first frame portion 1001B and the second frame portion 1001C are connected in a detachable manner. In some other examples, the base 1000A, the connecting portion 1001A, the first frame portion 1001B and the second frame portion 1001C are integrally formed.
The second frame portion 1001C is used for supporting and fixing the second display screen 120, and the first frame portion 1001B is used for supporting and fixing the first display screen 110. The connecting portion 1001A is disposed between the base assembly 1000 and the first frame portion 1001B, and the first frame portion 1001B and the second frame portion 1001C may be located at respective appropriate heights by designing the connecting portion 1001A.
In this way, on the one hand, the second display screen 120 may be used as a main display screen, and is disposed within the second frame portion 1001C to ensure that the second display screen 120 is as level as possible with the user's gaze when displaying remote information. On the other hand, the first display screen 110 is disposed within the first frame portion 1001B, so as to avoid that the position of the first display screen 110 is too low to interfere the presentation of the local information displayed on the first display screen 110.
In some embodiments, as shown in
For example, as shown in
The number of the at least one audio device 150 and the arrangement of the at least one audio device 150 and the first display screen 110 within the first frame portion 1001B may be reasonably set according to the structure of the frame 100, which is not limited thereto.
Since the position of the third frame portion 1001D is relatively high from the ground, by providing the image acquisition device 130 within the third frame portion 1001D, the image acquisition device 130 may acquire image information of the environment where the image acquisition device 130 is located widely, so that the content of local image information acquired by the image acquisition device 130 is as rich as possible. In addition, since the first display screen 110 is mainly used to display local information, a display screen with a small size may be used as the first display screen 110, so that the at least one audio device 150 can be arranged within the first frame portion 1001B together with the first display screen 110.
For example, the image acquisition device 130 may be an image sensor or a camera. The image sensor may be a charge coupled device (CCD) image sensor. The camera may be a black-and-white camera, an infrared camera, or any other cameras having the function of acquiring image.
In some examples, as shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
For example, when the image acquisition device 130 is needed to be in a higher position in the display apparatus 201, the process of replacing the third frame portion 1001D includes: removing the third frame portion 1001D from the second frame portion 1001C, installing the image acquisition device 130 onto another new third frame portion 1001D (called a new third frame portion 1001D) with a higher position (matching with the height requirement of the image acquisition device), and assembling the new third frame portion 1001D on the second frame portion 1001C. In this way, the image acquisition device 130 with a different height can be used for the display apparatus 201 by disassembling the third frame portion 1001D.
It will be noted that structures of the third frame portion 1001D, the second frame portion 1001C, the first frame portion 1001B and the connecting portion 1001A may be set according to actual situations, which are described herein by some possible implementations.
In some embodiments, as shown in
For example, as shown in
It will be understood that, the distance between the third horizontal beam 1001C1 and the fourth horizontal beam 1001C2 depends on the width of the second display screen 120, the distance between the second horizontal beam 1001B1 and the third horizontal beam 1001C1 depends on the widths of the first display screen 110 and the at least one audio device 150, the distance between the first horizontal beam 1001A1 and the second horizontal beam 1001B1 depends on the heights of the first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120, which are set according to actual needs.
As shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
For example, as shown in
In order to reduce the usage of material and the weight of the frame body 1001, each of the first to fifth horizontal beams is an aluminum extruded horizontal beam. Each of the first to fourth vertical beams is an aluminum extruded vertical beam. Both the aluminum extruded horizontal beam and the aluminum extruded vertical beam may be manufactured by using an aluminum extrusion die.
In some embodiments, as shown in
For example, a first end of the first horizontal beam 1001A1, a first end of the second horizontal beam 1001B1, a first end of the third horizontal beam 1001C1, a first end of the fourth horizontal beam 1001C2, and a first end of the fifth horizontal beam 1001C1 are connected to a same side of the first integrated vertical beam 108. A second end of the first horizontal beam 1001A1, a second end of the second horizontal beam 1001B1, a second end of the third horizontal beam 1001C1, a second end of the fourth horizontal beam 1001C2, and a second end of the fifth horizontal beam 1001C1 are connected to a same side of the second integrated vertical beam 109.
In some examples, as shown in
In some other embodiments, every two adjacent vertical beams of one first vertical beam 1001A2, one second vertical beam 1001B2, one third vertical beam 1001C3 and one fourth vertical beam 1001D2 that are at a same side of the first to fifth horizontal beams may be detachably connected. Every two adjacent vertical beams of another first vertical beam 1001A2, another second vertical beam 1001B2, another third vertical beam 1001C3 and another fourth vertical beam 1001C2 that are at another same side of the first to fifth horizontal beams may be detachably connected.
It will be noted that, the connection of two adjacent vertical beams may be a plug-in connection, that is, an end of one of the vertical beam has a groove, and an end of the other vertical beam has a projection that can be inserted into the groove. The two adjacent vertical beams can be also connected in other manners, such as using one or more fasteners (such as screws or other fasteners); a snap fit, a friction fit, and/or an interference fit; one or more adhesives; or any other suitable means.
In this way, the display apparatus 201 may be more easily assembled by setting the vertical beams being detachably connected. Moreover, when the devices in the display apparatus 201, i.e., the first display screen 110, the second display screen 120, the image acquisition device 130, and the audio device 150, need to be replaced with new devices in different specifications, the replacement may be realized by replacing at least one vertical beam, and thus devices in different sizes may be applied in the frame 100.
In some examples, as shown in
In some other embodiments, as shown in
For example, as shown in
In some examples, as shown in
Of course, since the first sub-vertical beam 108B is detachably connected to the first arc connector 111, and the third sub-vertical beam 109B is detachably connected to the second arc connector 112, the space between the first horizontal beam 1001A1 and the second horizontal beam 1001B1 may also be increased by replacing a longer first sub-vertical beam 108B and a longer third sub-vertical beam 109B.
The structures of the first to fifth horizontal beams are described below through examples with reference to
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some examples, the surface of the first horizontal beam body A00 provided with the at least one first functional groove A01 is defined as a functional surface M1 of the first horizontal beam body A00, and the functional surface M1 of the first horizontal beam body A00 is perpendicular to the first direction Y. In addition, the first horizontal beam body A100 has two opposite visible surfaces M2 parallel to the display surface of the first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120, that is, the visible surfaces M2 of the first horizontal beam body A00 is parallel to the plane defined by the first direction Y and the second direction X.
In some examples, as shown in
By forming the at least one first functional groove A01 in the first horizontal beam body A00, the use amount of the material of the first-type horizontal beam may be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the first-type horizontal beam and the cost.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some examples, each first functional groove A01 is provided with one first magnetic part 310 therein. For example, as shown in
In some examples, as shown in
