Electronic floor display with weight measurement and reflective display
View Patent ↗Embodiments of the present invention relate to a floor display system comprising or associated with a weight measuring device. An output of the weight measuring device may be processed by electronic logic to display corresponding information on an electronic display device of the floor display system. The information may relate to the weight of an object on the floor display system, in particular, for example, the weight of a person standing on the floor display system. The floor display system may further be capable of displaying arbitrary content including graphical images and verbal information, where the content is changeable on demand. Embodiments of the present invention further relate to a floor display system with reflective properties.
1. A floor display system comprising:
an electronic display device having a protective cover capable of being walked over or stood upon; and
a weight measuring device;
wherein the floor display system is capable of displaying arbitrary content including graphical images and verbal information, the content being changeable on demand, and of displaying information relating to the weight of an object measured by the weight measuring device, on the electronic display device.
2. The floor display system of claim 1 , wherein the content relates to the weight of the object.
3. The floor display system of claim 1 , wherein the weight measured is within a predetermined range, and the content corresponds to the range.
4. The floor display system of claim 1 , wherein the weight measured is transmittable to a remote location.
5. The floor display system of claim 1 , wherein the content is remotely controllable.
6. The floor display system of claim 1 , wherein the content is changeable via a network.
7. The floor display system of claim 1 , wherein the weight measuring device includes a scale.
8. The floor display system of claim 1 , wherein the weight measuring device includes a pressure sensor.
9. The floor display system of claim 1 , wherein the weight measuring device includes a spring.
10. The floor display system of claim 1 , further comprising a controller to process an output of the measuring device and generate corresponding information for display on the electronic display device.
11. The floor display system of claim 1 , wherein a housing of the floor display system is deformable to transfer a force to the weight measuring device.
12. The floor display system of claim 1 , wherein the floor display system includes reflective properties.
13. A floor display system comprising:
an electronic display device;
wherein the floor display system is capable of displaying arbitrary content including graphical images and verbal information on the electronic display device,
and further wherein the electronic display device includes a reflective technology.
14. The floor display system of claim 13 , wherein the reflective technology includes reflective LCD.
15. The floor display system of claim 13 , wherein the reflective technology includes electronic ink.
16. The floor display system of claim 13 , wherein the reflective technology includes magnetic ink.
17. The floor display system of claim 13 , wherein the reflective technology includes digital ink.
18. The floor display system of claim 13 , further comprising a supplementary light source to activate the reflective technology.
19. The floor display system of claim 18 , wherein the supplementary light source is movable along a track.
20. The floor display system of claim 13 , further comprising a weight measuring device, wherein the floor display system is further capable of displaying information relating to the weight of an object measured by the weight measuring device on the electronic display device.
