Abstract

A advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor primarily is a system that installs a detection device in each advertising light-box of each area to detect whether a lamp body, a power supply device, or a control circuit board in the advertising light-box is abnormal, and send messages detected to a message receiving server of the area thereof for displaying, such that a maintenance worker of the area can get the real-time status of each advertising light-box in the area; and messages received by the message receiving server are sent by the message receiving server to a remote monitor server via internet to be converged and displayed on a remote display, thus a remote supervisor can get the status of all advertising light-boxes in all areas to achieve the object of real-time maintenance; also, the remote monitor server can send messages to a cellular phone, a PDA, or a notebook of a supervisor via a communication network so that the supervisor can 24-hour monitor the advertising light-boxes in all areas.

Claims

1. An advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor, wherein a plurality of advertising light-boxes and a message receiving server are disposed in each area, each said advertising light-box is installed with a detection device, said detection device detects whether a lamp body, a power supply device, or a control circuit board in the advertising light-box is abnormal, and sending messages to a display of the message receiving server in each area for displaying, such that a maintenance worker can get the status of each advertising light-box in the area and the message receiving server of the area sends messages received to a remote monitor server via internet for convergence;

the remote monitor server shows all messages sent from all message receiving servers on a remote display, and alarms with a light or a sound while receiving an abnormal signal so that a remote supervisor can get the status of all advertising light-boxes of all areas to achieve timely maintenance; and

the remote monitor server can send messages to a cellular phone, a PDA, or a notebook of a supervisor via a communication network so that the supervisor can 24-hour monitor all advertising light-boxes in all areas.

2. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 1, wherein the detection device can send messages to a message receiving server via a wire transmission.

3. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 1, wherein the detection device can send messages to a message receiving server via a radio-frequency infrared Bluetooth or other wireless transmissions.

4. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 1, wherein the display of the message receiving server and the remote display can be a LED panel so that the supervisor can determine which advertising light-box is abnormal by the twinkling or color of the LED light.

5. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 1, wherein the display of the message receiving server and the remote display can be a LCD display so that the supervisor can determine which advertising light-box is abnormal directly and can enquire the abnormal history on the LCD display.

6. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 1, wherein the display of the message receiving server and the remote display can be a LCD display incorporated with a LED panel so that the supervisor can determine which advertising light-box is abnormal by the twinkling or color of the LED light and can enquire the abnormal history on the LCD display.

7. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 1, wherein a memory can be installed in the message receiving server to store the abnormal data of the advertising light-boxes of the area.

8. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 1, wherein the message receiving server can dispose a control button for operating and controlling the display.

9. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 1, wherein a detection loop device can be installed in the message receiving server, the detection loop device can monitor unusual conditions such as whether the detection device is normal, whether the circuit is short, and the like, to minimize the probable error.

10. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 1, wherein the remote display can facilitate enquiring the abnormal history and printing the abnormal data via a printer for preservation.

11. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 1, wherein a remote supervisor can switch off an alarm, sounded by the remote display, via a cellular phone, a PDA, a notebook, or other communication product to reset the remote display.

12. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 1, wherein a memory installed in the remote monitor server stores the collected data which can facilitate the enquiry of a supervisor.

13. An advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor, wherein a plurality of advertising light-boxes and a transmission set are disposed in each area;

each advertising light-box installs with a detection device and said detection device detects whether a lamp body, a power supply device, or a control circuit board in the advertising light-box is abnormal, and sending messages to the transmission set in each area, and the transmission set of the area sends messages received to a remote monitor server via internet for convergence;

the remote monitor server shows all messages sent from all transmission sets on a remote display and alarms with a light or a sound while receiving an abnormal signal so that a remote supervisor can get the status of all advertising light-boxes in all areas to achieve timely maintenance; and

the remote monitor server can send messages to a cellular phone, a PDA, or a notebook of a supervisor via a communication network so that the supervisor can 24-hour monitor all advertising light-boxes in all areas.

14. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 13, wherein the detection device can send messages to a transmission set via a wire transmission.

15. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 13, wherein the detection device can send messages to a transmission set via a radio-frequency, infrared, Bluetooth, or other wireless transmission.

16. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 13, wherein the remote display can be a LED panel, so that a supervisor can determine which advertising light-box is abnormal by the twinkling or color of the LED light.

17. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 13, wherein the remote display can be a LCD display with a button on a panel thereof, so that a supervisor can determine which an advertising light-box is abnormal and can enquire the history abnormal data by the button, and can print the abnormal data via a printer for preservation.

18. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 13, wherein the remote display can incorporate a LCD display with a LED panel so that the supervisor can determine which advertising light-box is abnormal by the twinkling or color of the LED light and can show the history abnormal data by the LCD display and can print the abnormal data via a printer for preservation.

19. The advertising light-box network system with auto-detection and auto-monitor of claim 13, wherein a remote supervisor can switch off an alarm, sounded by the remote display, via a cellular phone, a PDA, a notebook, or other communication product to reset the remote display.
