Tilting Display Assembly and Method
First Claim
1. An electronic display assembly comprising:
- a frame;
an electronic display device pivotally connected to the frame, the display device having a display surface, a control board, and a tilting mechanism and the display device for moving the electronic display device and the frame among an attract orientation, an access orientation, and a handicap orientation;
a proximity sensor with a detection level, the sensor connected to the control board; and
a switch connected to the control board,wherein the control board energizes the tilting mechanism to pivot the electronic display device from the attract orientation to the access orientation when the detection level is reached, and to pivot the electronic display device from the access orientation to the handicap orientation when the switch is closed.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an assembly and method for use of an electronic display, and more particularly, to an electronic display device including a proximity sensor and a switch for a handicap or a small person both connected to a tilting mechanism. The display in a first attract orientation shows an attract graphic to incite users toward the display. Once a user has been detected by the proximity sensor, the assembly tilts the display device toward the face of a user and the attract graphic is replaced by an access graphic operated via the touch screen. In the event a handicapped person or a short person wishes to access the display assembly, a switch is activated to rotate the display device downwards to a user sitting in a chair.

11. A method for using a tilting electronic display assembly, the method comprises the steps of:
-
placing a tilting electronic display assembly having a frame, an electronic display with the display surface device pivotally connected to the frame, the proximity sensor, a switch in visual relationship with an area of use, and a computing device connected to the display surface with a memory for storing an attract graphic and an access graphic in the area of use; activating the sensor to detect a user within the area of use; pivoting the electronic display in an attract orientation and display on the display surface the attract graphic from the memory using the computing device; pivoting the electronic display in an access orientation once the sensor detects a user and displaying on the display surface the access graphic from the memory using the computing device; activating a touch screen mode on the display surface for an interface of the tilting electronic display assembly with the user; and pivoting the electronic display in an attract orientation and displaying on the display surface of the attract graphic from the memory using the computing device once the sensor no longer detects the user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
