AUDIO-VISUAL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18099367 titled 'AUDIO-VISUAL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
An audio-visual system is described in this patent application. The system includes a housing with an open upper end and a storage space, an audio-visual device installed inside the housing, and a lifting device that can expose or store the audio-visual device through the open upper end. The audio-visual device consists of a display, a speaker, and a processor.
- The audio-visual device can be stored inside the housing or exposed through the open upper end.
- The system can operate in three different modes based on different events.
- In the first mode, the system outputs media art content while the display is stored in the housing.
- In the second mode, the system outputs audio content through the speaker while part of the display is exposed.
- In the third mode, the system outputs visual content while the entire display is exposed.
Potential Applications
- Home entertainment systems
- Digital signage displays
- Interactive kiosks
- Exhibition displays
Problems Solved
- Efficient use of space by storing the audio-visual device inside the housing when not in use.
- Versatility in outputting different types of content based on different events.
- Easy installation and maintenance of the audio-visual system.
Benefits
- Space-saving design allows for a clutter-free environment.
- Flexibility in displaying media art, audio content, and visual content.
- Enhanced user experience with the ability to switch between different modes.
Original Abstract Submitted
An audio-visual system may include a housing comprising an open upper end and a storage space, an audio-visual device installed inside the housing and exposable through the open upper end, and a lifting device configured to expose or store the audio-visual device inside the housing through the open upper end. The audio-visual device may include a display, a speaker, and a processor configured to control the audio-visual system to operate in a first mode for outputting media art content while the display is stored in the housing according to a first event, operate in a second mode for outputting audio content through the speaker while part of the display is exposed through the open upper end according to a second event, and operate in a third mode for outputting a visual content while the entire display is exposed through the open upper end according to a third event.
