Description
DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
del Brevetto Italiano per Invenzione Industriale dal titolo: of the Italian Patent for Industrial Invention entitled:
“CORNICE DIGITALE IMPERMEABILE PER USO CIMITERIALE” "WATERPROOF DIGITAL FRAME FOR CEMETERY USE"
La presente invenzione si riferisce ad una cornice digitale per uso cimiteriale. The present invention refers to a digital frame for cemetery use.
Come noto, nei cimiteri in corrispondenza delle tombe o dei monumenti funebri è tradizione collocare un documento legato alla persona sepolta, in particolare una o più fotografie del defunto, aventi lo scopo di ricordare ai parenti ed ai visitatori la persona sepolta in tale luogo. As is known, in cemeteries in correspondence with tombs or funeral monuments it is traditional to place a document linked to the buried person, in particular one or more photographs of the deceased, with the aim of reminding relatives and visitors of the person buried in that place.
Tale forma di ricordo dei defunti, pur essendo ampiamente diffusa, presenta tuttavia il problema che in tal modo è possibile rappresentare la vita passata del defunto unicamente con una o, in casi rari, con poche fotografie del defunto stesso, dando quindi solamente un’impressione statica e limitata del soggetto raffigurato. Scopo della presente invenzione è quello di superare il succitato inconveniente mediante un sistema che consenta di visualizzare, in un contesto cimiteriale, i momenti più importanti e significativi della vita passata del defunto. This form of remembrance of the deceased, although widespread, nevertheless presents the problem that in this way it is possible to represent the past life of the deceased only with one or, in rare cases, with a few photographs of the deceased himself, thus giving only an impression static and limited of the subject depicted. The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawback by means of a system that allows the most important and significant moments of the deceased's past life to be viewed in a cemetery context.
Ulteriore scopo dell’invenzione è quello di creare un sistema di rappresentazione di immagini correlate alla vita passata dei defunti che non possa essere soggetto a furto o a manomissione. A further purpose of the invention is to create a system of representation of images related to the past life of the deceased that cannot be subject to theft or tampering.
Un altro scopo dell’invenzione è quello di creare un sistema di rappresentazione di immagini correlate alla vita passata dei defunti che funzioni in modo autonomo e si adatti facilmente alla rete elettrica del cimitero. Another purpose of the invention is to create a system of representation of images related to the past life of the deceased that works autonomously and easily adapts to the electrical network of the cemetery.
Altro scopo dell’invenzione è quello di conseguire i suddetti risultati in modo razionale ed economico. Another purpose of the invention is to achieve the aforementioned results in a rational and economic way.
Detti scopi vengono raggiunti grazie ad una cornice digitale per uso cimiteriale, caratterizzata dal fatto di presentare una scocca esterna, resistente agli sbalzi di temperatura e protetta da una guarnizione in materiale atto a garantire l’impermeabilizzazione, un display per la visualizzazione delle immagini, la suddetta cornice essendo inoltre provvista di mezzi di fissaggio ad una lapide o ad altro supporto associato ad un monumento funebre o ad una singola tomba, detta cornice digitale essendo collegabile alla rete elettrica del cimitero, ed essendo dotata di mezzi elettronici per la rappresentazione in successione variabile o prefissata di fotografie digitali sul display. These purposes are achieved thanks to a digital frame for cemetery use, characterized by the fact of having an external body, resistant to sudden changes in temperature and protected by a gasket made of a material designed to guarantee waterproofing, a display for viewing images, the said frame being also provided with fixing means to a tombstone or other support associated with a funeral monument or a single grave, said digital frame being connectable to the electrical network of the cemetery, and being equipped with electronic means for the representation in variable succession or preset of digital photographs on the display.
Nell’invenzione, i mezzi elettronici per la rappresentazione in successione variabile o prefissata di fotografie digitali sul display comprendono una scheda elettronica, dotata di una CPU atta ad interfacciarsi con una memoria predisposta ad accogliere le suddette foto digitali. In the invention, the electronic means for the representation in variable or predetermined succession of digital photographs on the display include an electronic card, equipped with a CPU capable of interfacing with a memory designed to accommodate the aforementioned digital photos.
Inoltre, la CPU si interfaccia con un modulo di ricezione dati via radio per l’acquisizione delle immagini digitali, in particolare secondo la tecnologia Bluetooth. In addition, the CPU interfaces with a radio data reception module for the acquisition of digital images, in particular according to Bluetooth technology.
La cornice digitale è regolata in accensione e spegnimento automatici da un clock interno salvaguardato, in caso di mancanza di tensione, da una batteria tampone, al fine di mantenere il clock sempre attivo. Infine, le immagini digitali contenute nella memoria della cornice digitale sono memorizzate utilizzando un software proprietario. The digital photo frame is regulated in automatic switching on and off by an internal clock safeguarded, in the event of a power failure, by a buffer battery, in order to keep the clock always active. Finally, the digital images contained in the memory of the digital photo frame are stored using proprietary software.
Ulteriori caratteristiche e vantaggi dell’invenzione risulteranno evidenti dalla lettura della descrizione seguente fornita a titolo esemplificativo e non limitativo, con l’ausilio delle figure illustrate nelle tavole allegate, in cui: Further features and advantages of the invention will become evident from reading the following description provided by way of non-limiting example, with the aid of the figures illustrated in the attached tables, in which:
- la figura 1 rappresenta una vista esplosa di una cornice digitale per uso cimiteriale secondo la presente invenzione; - la figura 2 rappresenta lo schema della scheda elettronica che gestisce la cornice digitale di figura 1; e Figure 1 represents an exploded view of a digital frame for cemetery use according to the present invention; - figure 2 represents the diagram of the electronic card which manages the digital frame of figure 1; And
- la figura 3 rappresenta una vista in assonometria di una cornice digitale dell’invenzione applicata ad una lapide. - Figure 3 represents an axonometric view of a digital frame of the invention applied to a tombstone.
Dalla figura 1 si rileva una cornice digitale per uso cimiteriale, globalmente indicata con il riferimento numerico 10. La cornice digitale 10 presenta una scocca esterna 11, impermeabile e resistente agli sbalzi di temperatura, uno schermo LCD 12 per la visualizzazione delle immagini, una scheda elettronica 13 ed una scocca posteriore 15, il tutto protetto da una guarnizione in gomma 14 o altro materiale atto a garantire l’impermeabilizzazione della cornice digitale. Figure 1 shows a digital frame for cemetery use, globally indicated by the numerical reference 10. The digital frame 10 has an external body 11, waterproof and resistant to sudden changes in temperature, an LCD screen 12 for viewing images, a card electronics 13 and a rear body 15, all protected by a rubber gasket 14 or other material suitable for guaranteeing the waterproofing of the digital frame.
La cornice digitale è inoltre chiusa ed installata sulla lapide mediante una pluralità di tasselli interni e amovibili 16. The digital frame is also closed and installed on the tombstone by means of a plurality of internal and removable plugs 16.
La figura 2 rappresenta lo schema della scheda elettronica 13 che gestisce la cornice digitale 10, e che è alimentata mediante attacco alla rete elettrica normalmente già presente nel cimitero e ad allo scopo prevede un regolatore automatico di tensione 12/24 Volt, atto anche a trasformare la corrente alternata della rete cimiteriale in corrente continua per l’alimentazione dell’elettronica della cornice, indicato con il riferimento numerico 27, per potersi adattare alla rete elettrica cimiteriale presente. Figure 2 represents the diagram of the electronic card 13 which manages the digital frame 10, and which is powered by connection to the electrical network normally already present in the cemetery and for this purpose provides an automatic voltage regulator 12/24 Volt, also suitable for transforming the alternating current of the cemetery network in direct current for powering the electronics of the frame, indicated with the numerical reference 27, in order to be able to adapt to the existing cemetery electrical network.
Ad esempio in molti cimiteri, la rete elettrica presente è molto estesa e pertanto si creano fenomeni di dispersione elettrica che abbassano la tensione fino a portarla a valori di 15/16V in corrispondenza delle singole tombe. Pertanto risulta necessario provvedere un rettificatore di corrente ed un trasformatore che la trasforma dalla suddetta tensione a 12V per poter alimentare in corrente continua la cornice digitale. For example, in many cemeteries, the electrical network present is very extensive and therefore electrical dispersion phenomena are created which lower the voltage until it reaches values of 15 / 16V in correspondence with the individual graves. Therefore it is necessary to provide a current rectifier and a transformer that transforms it from the aforementioned voltage to 12V in order to supply the digital frame with direct current.
Inoltre, la cornice digitale 10 prevede una CPU 21 atta ad interfacciarsi con una memoria 22, quest’ultima predisposta ad accogliere le foto digitali del defunto ed a controllare un modulo 25 di output video per la rappresentazione delle foto digitali sul display 12. In addition, the digital frame 10 provides a CPU 21 capable of interfacing with a memory 22, the latter designed to accommodate the digital photos of the deceased and to control a video output module 25 for the representation of digital photos on the display 12.
Alla CPU 21 si interfaccia anche un modulo di ricezione dati via radio 26, in particolare secondo la tecnologia Bluetooth senza fili. L’inserimento dei file contenenti le immagini è effettuato tramite un dispositivo Bluetooth al fine di evitare che sul dispositivo siano presenti fori e ingressi non protetti da intemperie. I file vengono trasferiti mediante software dedicato che trasforma le normali foto in file con un estensione leggibile solo dal dispositivo per evitare differenti utilizzi. A radio data reception module 26 also interfaces with the CPU 21, in particular according to wireless Bluetooth technology. The insertion of the files containing the images is carried out via a Bluetooth device in order to avoid the presence of holes and inputs not protected from bad weather on the device. The files are transferred using dedicated software that transforms normal photos into files with an extension that can only be read by the device to avoid different uses.
Questo accorgimento relativo alla memorizzazione dei file di immagine digitale mediante un formato proprietario scoraggia anche i furti poiché la cornice non è utilizzabile per altri usi. This precaution related to storing digital image files using a proprietary format also discourages theft as the frame cannot be used for other uses.
La cornice digitale 10 è regolata in accensione e spegnimento automatici da un clock interno 23 salvaguardato, in caso di mancanza di tensione, da una batteria tampone 24, al fine di mantenere l’orologio sempre attivo. The digital frame 10 is regulated in automatic switching on and off by an internal clock 23 safeguarded, in the event of a power failure, by a buffer battery 24, in order to keep the clock always active.
La figura 3 rappresenta una vista in assonometria di una cornice digitale 10 dell’invenzione applicata ad una lapide 30, secondo un esempio di installazione. Figure 3 represents an axonometric view of a digital frame 10 of the invention applied to a plaque 30, according to an example of installation.
Più in generale, la cornice digitale 10 è installabile sia in orizzontale, sia in verticale secondo specifiche richieste del cliente, impreziosita da cornice in ottone o marmo al fine di risultare completamente coordinata ed in linea con il contesto a cui è preposto. More generally, the digital frame 10 can be installed both horizontally and vertically according to specific customer requests, embellished with a brass or marble frame in order to be completely coordinated and in line with the context for which it is in charge.
La cornice digitale per uso cimiteriale impermeabile e resistente agli sbalzi di temperatura per l’installazione su lapidi funerarie ed atta a contenere tutte le immagini dei momenti più importanti e significativi della vita del defunto. La visione di fotografie può essere effettuata in successione variabile o prefissata. The digital frame for cemetery use that is waterproof and resistant to sudden changes in temperature for installation on tombstones and suitable for containing all the images of the most important and significant moments in the life of the deceased. The viewing of photographs can be carried out in variable or fixed succession.
Dalla descrizione effettuata emerge il fatto che la cornice digitale dell’invenzione può essere applicata alla rete cimiteriale esistente, adattandosi ad essa, e ha un funzionamento autonomo regolato da un clock. Essa inoltre è protetta da utilizzi differenti mediante un software proprietario. From the description it emerges that the digital frame of the invention can be applied to the existing cemetery network, adapting to it, and has an autonomous operation regulated by a clock. It is also protected from different uses by proprietary software.
Ovviamente all’invenzione così come descritta potranno essere apportate modifiche o migliorie dettate da motivazioni contingenti o particolari, senza per questo uscire dall’ambito dell’invenzione come sotto rivendicata. Obviously, modifications or improvements may be made to the invention as described, dictated by contingent or particular reasons, without thereby departing from the scope of the invention as claimed below.
