Abstract
Display assemblies with monitoring features, along with related systems and methods, are disclosed. The display assembly includes a display unit having an electronic display movably mounted to a frame. A controller includes an orientation detection device in connection with a processor. The controller receives data from the orientation detection device and determines, from time to time, a state of the display assembly based, at least in part, on data received from the orientation detection device.
Claims20
A display assembly with monitoring features, said display assembly comprising:
- a frame;
- a display unit movably mounted to said frame and comprising an electronic display;
- and
- a controller comprising an orientation detection device, wherein the orientation detection device is in connection with a processor, and wherein said controller is configured to:
- receive data from said orientation detection device;
- and
- determine, from time to time, a state of said display assembly based, at least in part, on data received from the orientation detection device.
4 more elements
A display assembly with monitoring features, said display assembly comprising:
- a frame;
- a display unit movably mounted to said frame and comprising a liquid crystal type provided within a housing for movement between an open position where at least a portion of a rear surface of the display unit is moved away from the frame and a closed position where an entirety of the rear surface of the display unit is proximate to the frame;
- a controller comprising an orientation detection device and in electronic connection with the display unit, wherein the orientation detection device is located, at least in part, at the display unit, and wherein the orientation detection device is in connection with a processor, and wherein said controller is configured to:
- receive data from said orientation detection device;
- determine, from time to time, an orientation of the display unit based, at least in part, on data received from the orientation detection device;
- determine, from time to time, a state of the display unit based, at least in part, on the orientation, including:
- determining the display unit to be in the open position where the orientation meets a first set of one or more predetermined criteria;
- and
- determining the display unit to be in the closed position where the orientation meets a second set of one or more predetermined criteria or does not meet the first set of one or more predetermined criteria;
- and
- control at least certain operations of the display unit.
8 more elements
A display assembly with monitoring features, said display assembly comprising:
- a frame;
- a display unit movably mounted to said frame and comprising a directly backlit liquid crystal type provided within a housing for movement between an open position where at least a lower edge of the display unit is moved away from the frame and a closed position where the rear of the display unit is proximate to the frame;
- a thermal management subsystem comprising at least one airflow pathway extending, at least in part, within the display unit, and one or more fans located along the at least one airflow pathway;
- and
- a controller comprising an orientation detection device and in electronic connection with the display unit and the thermal management subsystem, wherein the orientation detection device is located, at least in part, at the housing of the display unit, and wherein the orientation detection device is in connection with a processor, and wherein said controller is configured to:
- receive data from said orientation detection device;
- determine, from time to time, an orientation of the display unit based, at least in part, on data received from the orientation detection device;
- determine the display unit to be in the open position where the orientation meets a first set of one or more predetermined criteria;
- determine, from time to time, a state of the display unit based, at least in part, on the orientation, including:
- determining the display unit to be in the open position where the orientation meets a first set of one or more predetermined criteria;
- and
- determining the display unit to be in the closed position where the orientation meets a second set of one or more predetermined criteria or does not meet the first set of one or more predetermined criteria;
- and
- control at least certain operations of the display unit and the thermal management subsystem based, at least in part, on the orientation.
