Media display system and adjustment method therefor

1. A media display system comprising:

an electronic billboard attached to a bracket;

a camera mounted on a midline in height of the electronic billboard, to capture an image of a viewer;

a driving apparatus to adjust a position of the electronic billboard relative to the bracket for changing a height of the electronic billboard;

a processing unit; and

a storage unit connected to the processing unit, the camera, and the driving apparatus, and storing a plurality of programs to be executed by the processing unit, wherein the storage unit comprises:

a facial detecting module to detect a face region in the image;

a midline determination module to obtain a midline of the image;

a comparison module to compare a reference eyeline of the face region with the midline of the image to determine whether the reference eyeline of the face region and the midline of the image overlap, and output a comparison signal correspondingly; and

a control module to control the driving apparatus to move the billboard according to the comparison signal;

wherein the reference eyeline is a horizontal line passing through two eyes in the face region, the midline of the image is parallel to the reference eyeline; in response to the reference eyeline being higher than the midline of the image, the control module directs the driving apparatus to move the electronic billboard up; in response to the reference eyeline being lower than the midline of the image, the control module directs the driving apparatus to move the electronic billboard down; and in response to the reference eyeline and the midline of the image overlapping, the control module stops the driving apparatus, and the viewer can comfortably view the electronic billboard.

2. The media display system of claim 1 , wherein a top one-third of the face region is regarded as the reference eyeline.

3. The media display system of claim 1 , wherein the storage unit further comprises an eye detection module to obtain the reference eyeline in the face region.

4. The media display system of claim 1 , wherein the driving apparatus comprises a motor attached to the rear side of the billboard, a gear attached to a rotor of the motor, and a track vertically formed in the bracket, wherein the gear meshes with the track to adjust a height of the electronic billboard.

5. An adjustment method for a media display system comprising:

capturing an image of a viewer by a camera;

detecting a reference eyeline in the image, wherein the reference eyeline is a horizontal line passing through two eyes in the image;

obtaining a midline of the image, wherein the midline of the image is parallel to the reference eyeline;

comparing the reference eyeline with the midline of the image to determine whether the reference eyeline and the midline overlap, and output a comparison signal correspondingly; and

directing a driving apparatus to move an electronic billboard according to the comparison signal to adjust a height of the electronic billboard;

directing the driving apparatus to move the electronic billboard up, in response to the reference eyeline being higher than the midline of the image;

directing the driving apparatus to move the electronic billboard down, in response to the reference eyeline being lower than the midline of the image; and

stopping the driving apparatus, in response to the reference eyeline and the midline of the image overlapping.

6. The adjustment method of claim 5 , further comprising, between capturing an image of the viewer and detection of the reference eyeline in the image:

detecting a face region in the image, wherein a top one-third of the face region in the image is regarded as the reference eyeline.
