Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Spiegel mit innerhalb seiner reflektierenden Fläche vorgesehenem, nicht reflektierendem Teilbereich als Informationsgeber.The present invention relates to a mirror with inside its reflective surface provided, non-reflective Subarea as information provider.

Die DE 299 16 732 U1 schildert als Stand der Technik einen Werbespiegel mit einer zumindest in einem Teilbereich halbdurchlässigen Spiegelschicht, bei dem erfindungsgemäß zumindest in dem als Werbe- oder Informationsfläche dienenden Teilbereich in Richtung Spiegelaußenseite-Spiegelrückseite auf die Spiegelschicht folgend eine Antireflektions-Schicht, eine aus einem lichtdurchlässigen Flachmaterial bestehende Werbeschicht sowie ein flach ausgebildeter Beleuchtungskörper vorgesehen sind. Dort bestehen grundsätzlich folgende Probleme: die Informationsübermittlung ist auf ein feststehendes Bild-Standbild beschränkt, das in Form eines einzulegenden Motivträgers -- beispielsweise eines Dias -- hinterleuchtet und somit dem Betrachter sichtbar gemacht wird; das Austauschen der einzelnen Motivträger ist aufwendig, da zur Eingabe neuer zu übermittelnder Informationen bzw. Motivträger der Spiegel geöffnet und der bestehende Motivträger durch einen neuen manuell ersetzt werden muss.DE 299 16 732 U1 describes a state of the art Advertising mirror with a semi-permeable at least in a partial area Mirror layer, according to the invention at least in the advertising or information area serving Part area towards mirror outside mirror back following the mirror layer, an anti-reflection layer, one of a translucent sheet existing advertising layer and a flat formed lighting fixture are provided. There exist basically following problems: the information transfer is limited to a fixed picture still picture, which in Shape of a motif carrier to be inserted - for example one Slides - backlit and thus visible to the viewer is made; the exchange of the individual motif carriers is expensive because there to enter new information to be transmitted or motif carrier opened the mirror and the replaced existing motif carrier by a new one manually must become.

In Kenntnis dieses Standes der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, die erkannten Mängel zu beseitigen sowie einen Spiegel zu schaffen, der sich gegenüber vorbekannten Werbespiegeln in der Art und Variationsmöglichkeit der zu übermittelnden bildlichen Informationen unterscheidet sowie ein einfaches Handhaben bei der Eingabe und dem Wechseln der Informationen bzw. Motivträger ermöglicht. In knowledge of this prior art, the invention the task is to eliminate the identified shortcomings as well as to create a mirror which is already known Advertising mirrors in style and possible variations distinguishes between the pictorial information to be transmitted as well as a simple handling with the input and the Changing the information or motif carrier allows.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt die Lehre des unabhängigen Anspruches; die Unteransprüche erfassen günstige Weiterbildungen. Zudem fallen in den Rahmen der Erfindung alle Kombinationen aus zumindest zwei der in der Beschreibung, der Zeichnung und/oder den Ansprüchen offenbarten Merkmale.To solve this task leads the doctrine of the independent claim; the dependent claims cover favorable developments. In addition, fall within the scope of the invention, all combinations from at least two of those in the description that Drawing and / or the claims disclosed features.

Erfindungsgemäß ist der als Informationsgeber ausgestaltete Teilbereich der Spiegelfläche glasklar gestaltet, also völlig blickdurchlässig, sowie mit einem Display hinterlegt, einem Bildsichtgerät zur optisch wirksamen Ausstellung von Objekten. Insbesondere soll dieses Display ein Laufbild präsentieren können. Auch zwei oder mehr derartige Teilbereiche können in der Spiegelfläche vorgesehen werden.According to the invention designed as an information provider Part of the mirror surface crystal clear designed, so completely opaque, as well as with a display deposited, an image viewer for optically effective exhibition of Objects. In particular, this display is a moving picture can present. Also two or more such sections can be provided in the mirror surface.

Die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte halbdurchlassige Spiegelschicht wird also dadurch weitergebildet, dass innerhalb der eigentlichen Spiegelfläche in jenem Teilbereich nunmehr ein laufendes Bild -- bevorzugt ein Farbbild -- erzeugt wird.The semi-transmissive known from the prior art Mirror layer is thus further developed by that within the actual mirror surface in that subarea now a running picture - preferably a color image - generated becomes.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung wird zur Informationsübermittlung dank jenes Farbdisplays ein laufendes Farbbild eingesetzt. Um die Dicke des Spiegels möglichst gering zu halten, soll erfindungsgemäß ein Flachbilddisplay bzw. -bildschirm eingesetzt werden. Auch hat es sich als günstig erwiesen, ein Display der Technologien TFT oder Plasma zu verwenden, aber auch andere Technologien zur Motivdarstellung, wie z. B. Hologramme zur dreidimensionalen Bilddarstellung. Insbesondere kann auch ein Display der Touchscreen-Technologie zur Anwendung kommen, welches den Abruf verschiedener Funktionen und Programmabläufe am Display ermöglicht und zudem die Darstellung verschiedener Bildarten, wie etwa Fernsehbild, Computerbild und -animation, Internetoberfläche sowie multimediale Oberfläche, in der dafür vorgesehenen Informationsfläche bzw. dem Display.

Der einfacheren Handhabung halber soll die Form der Informationseinspeisung erheblich erleichtert sowie gewährleistet werden, dass der Spiegel weder geöffnet werden muss, noch eine Person räumlich anwesend sein muss, um Daten bzw. neue Motive in den Informationsspiegel einzugeben. Dazu werden das eingebaute Display und die Lautsprecher von einem geeigneten Peripheriegerät -- wiederum einem Computer, Videorecorder, DVD-Player, CD-Player od. dgl. -- mit den darzustellenden Informationen versorgt. Zum Wechsel der zu übermittelnden Informationen wird lediglich das eingelegte Wiedergabemedium gewechselt, also beispielsweise die Videokassette des Videorecorders.The simpler handling should be the form of information feed greatly facilitated and guaranteed be that the mirror does not have to be opened, still one person must be physically present to data or to enter new motifs in the information mirror. To become the built-in display and the speakers of one suitable peripheral device - again a computer, VCR, DVD player, CD player or the like - with the supplied information to be presented. To change to information submitted will only be the one inserted Play media changed, so for example the video cassette of the video recorder.

In der Regel wird zur Ansteuerung des Displays und der Lautsprecher ein Computer eingesetzt, auf den von einem anderen Computer aus die darzustellenden Daten und Informationen per Datentransfer -- etwa ISDN-Datenübertragung oder anderer Übertragungsmöglichkeiten -- übertragen zu werden vermögen.In general, to control the display and the Speakers used a computer on the other Computer from the data and information to be displayed via data transfer - such as ISDN data transmission or other transmission options - to be transmitted capital.

Dank vorstehender Maßgaben entfällt nunmehr beim Informations- und Motivwechsel das Öffnen des Spiegels, wodurch es möglich wird, den Spiegel an Orten fest zu installieren. Der Motivwechsel kann auch in Abwesenheit einer Bedienungsperson erfolgen. Thanks to the above provisions, the information and motif change the opening of the mirror, causing it it becomes possible to firmly install the mirror in places. The motif change can even in the absence of an operator respectively.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung kann für den Spiegel bevorzugt bruchsicheres Glas zum Einsatz kommen, auch kann die Lautstärkeregelung für den/die Lautsprecher mittels einer Fernbedienung -- etwa eine Infrarotbedienung -- durchgeführt werden. Zudem hat es sich als günstig erwiesen ein Funkempfängermodul für die Bilddaten einzubauen bzw. die beschriebenen Lautsprecher außerhalb des Spiegels anzubringen und mit dem Display bzw. dem Eingabegerät zu verbinden.In the context of the invention may be preferred for the mirror shatterproof glass can be used, also can the volume control for the speaker (s) by means of a remote control - About an infrared control - carried out become.
