Abstract:
1. An apparatus mounted on a vessel that includes any tool, machine, vehicle, train, vessel, ship, and utility used for transportation, said apparatus displaying a visual media on surroundings of the vessel, and transmitting a audio signal, associated with a media being displayed and updated by a server, said apparatus comprising: projectors mounted inside or on the vessel displaying a visual media content on outside surroundings of the vessel the projectors displaying in all angles (X,Y,Z) and adjusted to display in a preferred angle that is possible or preferred by users of the vessel, the projectors can be used for a same projection, having a primary function of allowing one projector to switch off, and another projector to turn on projecting, in a same place, so that the projectors are not overheated or start malfunctioning after continuously are used, the projectors being switched off and on from a lamp, rather than shutting all of the projectors down, enabling the projectors to start and stop fast and without shutting said all of the projectors off or on, the projectors being connected with a local server, which is aboard the vessel, containing a visual and audio media which is to be transmitted; the local server that performs a task and a function of containing data such as a visual media, an audio media, maintenance reports, bug reports, rich site summary (RSS) feeds, and other update and data needed, the local server using cable or wireless connections to transfer and receive data to the projectors, audio devices, sensors and other electric devices, the local server working together with a central server that sends and receives relevant data, and allows local servers to be controlled from one place; surrounding as screens such that the apparatus functions without using of screens for visual projections of the projectors, the visual projections projecting to existing facilities or the surroundings of the vessel; a wireless audio unit that transmits an audio signal from the local server, wirelessly to passengers, using a wireless technology which is used by passengers on their personal electric devices including cell phones, allowing the passengers to receive an audio associated with the visual media being displayed; a central server working works as a communicator that transfers and receives the data from the local server, the central server having a main task to transfer a media which is to be broadcasted from the local server aboard the vessel, the central server receiving data for maintenance related issues from the local server; tags being placed along a route of the vessel, communicating with the local server aboard the vessel or the central server, and based on a geographical placement of the tags along the route of the vessel, the tags broadcast appropriate media for the geographical placement, wherein the tags are based on sensors which are placed along a track or the route of the vessel and the vessel itself, the sensor registering a movement and a current location on the track or the route, and communicating with the local server or the central server in order for the servers to adapt and modify the media being displayed, the tags comprising sensors of different types, including motion detecting sensors, light detecting sensors, and light reflecting sensors; and on/off sensors to switch the projectors or lamps of the projectors off or on, or to communicate to the central server, the local server, or the projectors, to switch the projectors on or off, the on/off sensor being placed on the route of the vessel, the vessel itself, or onboard other vessels to shut down the projectors or another equipment when said other vessels are passing the on/off sensors, the on/off sensors comprising different types of sensors, including mechanical or light based sensors, the motion detecting sensors, the light detecting sensors, the light reflecting sensors, and switches, wherein the local servers or the central server, when directly connected to media units, broadcast a time specific content, which is based on a specific time, that the media is broadcasted.
