September 3, 2013 at 13:01Concepts, concepts, ideas and products (part 2)
From the ideas of the last post, which a few years ago (with the exception of the Menu), is moving to more recent ones:
remote orders, an interactive table, smart parking, an office building, a room and a house
hotels, interface, automation
This is also a continuation of the idea of the Electronic Menu, but in this case the service extends beyond the boundaries of a particular restaurant and covers, for example, a hotel. You can order food, drinks, goods and services from kiosks, or directly from your room. In general, an extremely pleasant system would be.
restaurant, interface, automation
This is a large screen with an electronic menu inside, and you can eat on top.
A network of New Zealand restaurants asked me to make them such a table for the order and software for it ... discussed, discussed, in the end - they say: “How is it that you must first pay for no reason, and then after a few months to get the result. Let’s make the best prototype and software for free for us, then let’s see if it’s worth paying for it.
parking, automation
This is just a complete solution for automated multi-level parking, which was ordered by one company for its office building ... well, and then it scored, as it happens.
Each car was supposed to reserve a place right at the entrance, and then direct it to this place using displays (and a printed coupon).
Operator interface (there should be no operator at all, but the local tradition is that you need to put people everywhere, starting from opening the door in the supermarket):
Admin interface:
There was even a small demo program with very truncated functionality:
- print a ticket with the check-in time
- at the exit, enter the time of departure and print the receipt
- the program automatically considers how much to pay
(I can throw off to anyone)
There is a complicated picture, the essence is this: you go to the club and buy a ticket card, which you pay inside on order terminals with an electronic menu.
The client wanted innovation for a very new office skyscraper (40 floors of 2000 m2), but then the key person was transferred to a new facility and all projects went into oblivion. And it was proposed to place kiosks and screens around the building with interactive and informational content:
- news, time, events, weather
- a system of ordering food to the office (and office supplies too)
- a directory and navigation
- ordering service to the office (water, repair, catering, cleaning, etc.)
The second version of the interface:
The same customer with an office skyscraper dreamed about the display in the elevator. We talked, talked ... in the end, they put up a tiny screen with some kind of creepy graphics, and somewhere under the ceiling, where you can’t even see it without turning your neck.
But it’s strange - a very expensive building in the center, the customer pays a lot of money to all kinds of overseas consultants, designers and contractors. The output is semi-working equipment (there you could hardly even get through the turnstile), idiotic decisions (7-inch screens in the elevator under the ceiling), lack of basic things (like a display with a list of companies in the hall) and general chaos with disorganization.
This was a sketch of my proposal:
And then for other buildings with options:
And a colorful picture:
We attach a panel PC with a touchscreen to the wall and all devices and sensors are connected to it via I / O cards (USB).
Plus, this PC will be a media center, door controller and transmitter of all alarms.
Almost perfect solution for small studio apartments and hotels.
The working interface (.NET + WPF):
And the prototype in hardware:
In 500-700, you can even fit into a room.
It is based on the previous solution of a smart room, but in this case the control object is already a house.
There will be many beautiful pictures for those who like to look at the schemes:
1. Automation subsystem
2. Sensor subsystem
3. Security subsystem
4. Communications subsystem
5. Additional solutions
And interface:
(I no longer draw such pictures - it takes too much time)
Prototype interface The software is of course simpler (night mode):
End of the second part.
In the final:
interactive presentation, digital cloud poster, virtual shopping, self-registration system, booking, modular monitor
Part 3
remote orders, an interactive table, smart parking, an office building, a room and a house
Remote Order System

Interactive menu table

Night club automation

Interactive information system for office building
The client wanted innovation for a very new office skyscraper (40 floors of 2000 m2), but then the key person was transferred to a new facility and all projects went into oblivion. And it was proposed to place kiosks and screens around the building with interactive and informational content:
