OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention according to it is expressed in the title of this specification,
It refers to a utility post, commonly used to support lightings, capable of performing
multiple functions in the public space or urban road that incorporates information
elements in the shape of screens and a transceiver that provides input and output
data, managing a network communications which provides information services, advertising,
surveillance, alerts, etc.
PRECEDENTS OF THE INVENTION
[0002] In recent years is more and more the set of elements which belong street furniture
that as well as they achieve a practial purpose, they expect to carry out a second
task such as completely advertising or as support for institutional information...
[0003] These public elements are necessary to add them private that they try to attract
to themselves pedestrian who they are circulating in their areas of influence.
[0004] There is no doubt that municipalities, through their areas of Urbanism try controlling
and regulating the disposition of these elements with the drawback that they add to
existing ones, they require work, they consume more resources in maintenance, they
visually pollute the urban landscape, they generate a cumulation in ones commercial
areas, etc.
[0005] On the other hand there is a tendency to use a type of furniture for advertising
support: the streetlights. Above them they constantly have got posters that they are
visually unattractive, they require expensive labor costs and they cause troubles
to the circulation when you install them and you uninstall them, they produce a cost
very high in comparison with the short time that they live, they are not reusable
because previously they must be recycled if they are valid for it, and definitely
a product obsolete which it renounces to dissapear, maybe because there is not an
alternative more appropiated current times.
[0006] But surely one of the major failures of street furniture is that they not contributes
effectively to disseminate messages, alerts, warnings, etc., which surely it would
have to be its main purpose if it were not for the strong need of maintenance if you
look it as an advertising format and not as a vehicle for information to citizens.
[0007] Therefore the invention here praised is going to provide a set of solutions that
They will allow to walk hand in hand the information function due to citizens with
the pay support, get them a profitability so that they be them self - sufficient,
avoid set of troubles that updating some signage on lampposts and shelter roofs can
make them: emit warnings, alarms or any citizen information alternately with advertising
messages and other benefits to the community as the possible elimination of advertising
elements which they disturb the passersby, increase control and collection of static
advertising on public roads, achieve any urban space with minimum cost, etc.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The present invention refers to a post of public lighting which has got two monitor
screens (updated to the last technology of the time) which they are housed in a rectangular
metal frame made expressly for them.
[0009] This framework is fixed to the post by solder, with the only condition that the inside
of the post, and through a hole, connects with individual cables that supply electric
current and data to screens. Likewise, the framework is prepared in order to the screens
would be fitted inside and behind a transparent safety film that it is fitted by metalic
edges with a metal closure that it prevents ingress of water, dust, etc.
[0010] The rectangular frame is arranged vertically so that it does not only occupy
less space between the post and the adjacent building if not that, as a measure of
safety, offers the least wind resistance and their effects on certain adverse circumstances
that could break the post and cause an accident on the road
public.
[0011] The frame with its screens is placed at a height sufficient safety for avoid inconvenience
to pedestrians and to protect it from vandalism more
evident as hanging on it or beating it with objects taken by hands.
[0012] In any version at the top it will be installed the luminaire, reserving the superior
edge for install an internally hollow part in which you can find the transceiver antenna
which it is capable of transmitting and receiving digital signals, and a video surveillance
camera and a light emitter that works as emergency visual warning, alert, etc., not
necessarily in combination with the color of the hollow piece that crown the post
considering that its own light would be emitted using showy colours.
[0013] The hollow part may take any form prevailing those one that it provides a best result
to the combination of the features described, keeping in mind that for visible light
emitted it could be translucent.
[0014] The camera will have to provide images of the environment for public safety
as well as to support traffic regulation or any other citizen service that it to be
necessary to get information at the moment.
[0015] The central unit will be installed inside the frame leaving a physical access manual
point for cases where it would not be possible to access the system using wireless.
[0016] Finally, the frame has got a plurality of small holes in the bottom by which the
sound that it is released emitted by a player installed inside that zone.
[0017] The base and the way of how to install the post will be compatible with any of the
systems that they are more convenient as far at the present and in the future.
