DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL EMBODIMENTS

(5) The LED display described in the present application proposes an innovation in the field of outdoor communication. By incorporating different devices and systems into the LED display, it is intended to function as a connection between the user, the city, and different interacting entities.

(6) The display contains Internet access devices, cameras with recognition and recording systems, speed radar, and an integration system for synchronized screen management. The purpose is for both the public and private sectors to take advantage of the screen's benefits to improve their communication with and understanding of citizens. In turn, the screens are intended to benefit citizens by providing required information wherever they are located in the city. As previously stated, the intention is for the screen to function as an access device in order to convert the city into a smart city.

(7) FIGS. 1A-1C illustrate one embodiment of a smart screen 10 includes an integrated Light Emitting Diode (LED) display 12, wherein the LED display 12 is set on a metal framework 14 that is reinforced against vandalism and the weather for outdoor use. In alternative embodiments, the smart screen may be affixed to a post or other similar surface, both in a horizontal and/or vertical orientation, with a design that integrates a number of simultaneous or asynchronous devices.

(8) The smart screen 10 further comprises a radar device 2, a Wi-Fi emitter 3, an emergency light 4, an emergency siren 5, a safety camera 6 and a plurality of speakers 7. In one embodiment, the safety camera 6 is equipped with facial, license plate, people, vehicle and object recognition. Preferably, the LED display 12 possesses an image projection in color and black and white.

(9) Furthermore, the radar device 2 is configured to detect both vehicle speed and geographic location preferably of an automobile, truck or other similar modes of transportation. Additionally, the Wi-Fi emitter 3 is configured to provide connection to the Internet to computing devices that link to the World Wide Web and to be able to send a variety of information to select databases based on the data captured by the smart screen 10.

(10) Additionally, the emergency light 4 is activated by the illumination of a red light in certain situations that may be deemed dangerous or threatening requiring assistance. In conjunction with the activation of the emergency light 4, the emergency siren 5 will emit an audio alert following activation of the emergency light 4 so that both a visual indicator and audio indicator will be present in potentially dangerous and/or life-threatening situations. In yet another embodiment, the plurality of speakers 7 are configured to be able to transmit various messages to pedestrians and other people in the vicinity of the smart screen 10.

(11) FIGS. 2A-2C illustrate the smart screen 10, wherein the smart screen 10 is separated from the framework 14 prior to be affixed for usage. Additionally, in FIG. 2C, a pair of smart screens 10 are placed on the framework 14 in opposing directions so that there is an LED display 12 on both sides of the framework 14.

(12) FIGS. 3A-3D illustrate yet another embodiment of the smart screen 10 shown in a variety of views both affixed and separate from the framework 14.

(13) FIGS. 4A-4C illustrate another embodiment of the smart screen 10 wherein the plurality of speakers 7 and the emergency light 4 may be configured as individual parts of the smart screen 10 that are affixed to the LED display 12 as a single unit.

(14) The screen has an approximate height of 2.33 meters (7.65 feet), an approximate length of 1.36 meters (4.45 feet), and an approximate depth of 29.05 centimeters (11.45 inches). The display consists of the following components: LED screen set into a metal framework that is reinforced against vandalism and the weather, built especially for outdoor use, and that can be affixed to or set into any vertical and horizontal surface. Its unique design integrates a number of simultaneous or asynchronous devices, including: megapixel integration for color image projection, speed radar, public Wi-Fi, emergency light, emergency siren, safety camera with face, license plate, people, and vehicle recognition, and a carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) monitor, with the possibility of incorporating other devices as well.
