Abstract
Disclosed is a boarding bridge having a transparent display. The boarding bridge includes a first tunnel connected to a terminal gate, a second tunnel connected to be capable of overlapping with the first tunnel, and a control unit. The first tunnel and the second tunnel each have a plurality of transparent displays, and include at least one overlap detecting sensor unit. Through the overlap detecting sensor unit which detects whether a transparent display of the first tunnel and a transparent display of the second tunnel overlap, the controller can selectively control the playback of images on the transparent displays of the first and second tunnels.
Claims14
A boarding bridge comprising:
- a first tunnel configured to be connected to a terminal gate;
- a second tunnel configured to be overlappingly connected to the first tunnel;
- and
- a controller,
- wherein each of the first tunnel and the second tunnel has a plurality of transparent displays and includes one or more overlap detecting sensors, and
- when it is detected that the transparent displays of the first and second tunnels are overlapped through the overlap detecting sensors that detect whether or not the transparent displays of the first tunnel and the transparent displays of the second tunnel are overlapped with each other, the controller selectively controls an image reproduction of the transparent displays of the first and second tunnels so that images reproduced in the transparent displays of the first and second tunnels are not overlapped with each other.
A method of controlling a boarding bridge, the method comprising:
- detecting, by an overlap detecting sensor, whether or not transparent displays each disposed in an inner tunnel and an outer tunnel are overlapped with each other by extending and shortening the inner tunnel or the outer tunnel in a length direction;
- selecting at least one transparent display disposed in the inner tunnel among the overlapped transparent displays and at least one non-overlapped transparent display disposed in the outer tunnel;
- detecting, by a passenger movement detecting sensor, the number of moving passengers of the inner tunnel and the outer tunnel;
- and
- turning-on, by a controller, only the selected transparent displays when the number of moving passengers detected by the passenger movement detecting sensor is a reference or more.
