Es handelt sich um übliche Fernsehgeräte, vor denen Zuschauer zu Hause, in Gaststätten, in Hotelzimmern usw. sitzen und das Werbefernsehen oder öffentliche Veranstaltungen oder auch belehrende Sendungen mit Quizfragen bzw. Preisrätseln verfolgen, wobei in die Werbespots oder zwischen die Werbespots bzw. Unterhaltungssendungen Quizfragen eingeblendet sind. Der Fernsehzuschauer schreibt im allgemeinen die für ihn richtige Antwort auf eine Postkarte und schickt diese auf dem Postweg an eine der Fernsehanstalten, die dann den bzw. die Gewinner ermittelt.Devices for playing short films and / or quizzes are known per se. These are conventional television sets in front of which viewers sit at home, in restaurants, in hotel rooms etc. and watch advertising television or public events or educational programs with quiz questions or price puzzles, with quiz questions in the commercials or between the commercials or entertainment programs are shown. The television viewer generally writes the correct answer for a postcard and sends it by post to one of the television stations, which then determines the winner (s).

Es ist auch bekannt, in öffentlichen Unterhaltungssendungen des Fernsehens derartige Quizfragen zu stellen, die dann ebenfalls auf dem Postwege beantwortet werden und wobei die bzw. die Gewinner auf die gleiche Weise ermittelt werden.It is also known to ask such quiz questions in public television entertainment programs, which are then likewise answered by post, and the winners or winners are determined in the same way.

Weiterhin ist es bekannt, daß bei derartigen Sendungen die Zuschauer telefonisch ihre Adresse und das Lösungswort mitteilen, wobei es dann vor allem darauf ankommt als erster anzurufen.Furthermore, it is known that in such programs the viewers give their address and the solution word by telephone, the most important thing then being to call first.

Derartige Veranstaltungen sind mit hohen Kosten verbunden, erfordern einen erheblichen finanziellen Aufwand, so daß für viele Gewerbetreibende die Kosten für eine Werbung zu teuer sind. Insbesondere kommt aus diesem Grunde auch das Einblenden von Quizfragen, die den Werbeeffekt unterstützen, für sie nicht in Frage.Such events are associated with high costs and require considerable financial expenditure, so that the costs of advertising are too expensive for many traders. For this reason in particular, fading in quizzes that support the advertising effect is out of the question for them.

Weiterhin setzen derartige Veranstaltungen, insbesondere wenn sie den Rahmen bzw. Einblendungen in einer Unterhaltungssendung bilden, entsprechende Säle, den Auftritt von Künstlern usw. voraus, damit ein großes Interesse bei den Zuschauern bzw. Teilnehmern vorhanden ist bzw. geweckt wird, zumal diese Veranstaltungen eine überregionale Aufmerksamkeit auslösen sollen.Furthermore, such events, especially if they form the framework or insertions in an entertainment program, require corresponding halls, the appearance of artists, etc., so that there is great interest among the spectators or participants, especially since these events are one should trigger national attention.

In vielen Fällen sind insbesondere kleinere Unternehmen nur an einer regionalen Werbung interessiert, da für eine überregionale Belieferung des Marktes, insbesondere im grenzüberschreitenden Verkehr die erforderliche Betriebsstruktur und auch ein entsprechender Fuhrpark nicht zur Verfügung stehen.In many cases, smaller companies in particular are only interested in regional advertising, since the necessary operating structure and a corresponding vehicle fleet are not available for supraregional supply to the market, especially in cross-border traffic.

Aus der DE 38 38 775 ist ein audiovisueller Werbeträger mit einem im Boden verankerten senkrechten Trägerrahmen bekannt, in dessen oberem Bereich ein kastenförmiges Schutzgehäuse zur Aufnahme eines Farbfernseh-Monitors und von mindestens zwei Videorecordern eingepaßt ist. Des weiteren ist ein darunter eingepaßter Vitrineneinsatz vorgesehen, der durch einen Leuchttransporteinsatz oder einen Verkaufsautomaten ersetzt sein kann. Hierdurch ist ein relativ kostengünstiges Werbemedium geschaffen, mit dem auch Klein- und Mittelbetrieben eine effektive Direktwerbung ermöglicht wird, um damit ein vergrößertes Umfeld auf seine Aktivitäten aufmerksam zu machen.From DE 38 38 775 an audiovisual advertising medium with a vertical support frame anchored in the floor is known, in the upper area of which a box-shaped protective housing for receiving a color television monitor and at least two video recorders is fitted. Furthermore, a display case insert fitted underneath is provided, which can be replaced by a light transport insert or a vending machine. This creates a relatively inexpensive advertising medium that also enables small and medium-sized businesses to use direct advertising effectively, in order to draw the attention of an enlarged environment to its activities.

Durch diese Maßnahmen ist eine Vorrichtung geschaffen, die auch für kleine Unternehmen zur lokalen Werbung aufgrund der relativ geringen Werbekosten von Interesse ist, wobei zur flächendeckenden Werbung gleichzeitig eine oder mehrere der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen zu Einsatz gleichzeitig kommen können, so daß auch eine großflächige überregionale Werbeaktion durchführbar ist, deren räumlicher Bereich durch die Anzahl der zum Einsatz kommenden erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen vorgebbar ist.These measures create a device that is also of interest to small businesses for local advertising due to the relatively low advertising costs, one or more of the devices according to the invention being able to be used simultaneously for area-wide advertising, so that large-scale national advertising can also be carried out whose spatial area can be predetermined by the number of devices according to the invention used.

Sämtliche Vorrichtungen können in der gleichen Folge die gleiche Anzahl von Kurzfilmen und/oder Werbespots und/oder Quizfragen wiedergeben bzw. ausstrahlen.All devices can reproduce or broadcast the same number of short films and / or commercials and / or quiz questions in the same sequence.

Bei gleicher Anzahl von Kurzfilmen und/oder Werbespots und/oder Quizfragen kann deren Aufeinanderfolge geändert werden.If the number of short films and / or commercials and / or quiz questions is the same, their sequence can be changed.

Schließlich ist möglich, den regionalen Besonderheiten Rechnung zu tragen und beispielsweise im Sommer an den Küstenregionen für Segelboote und Surfkurse zu werben, während im waldreichen Binnenland für Wanderungen und die entsprechende Ausrüstung, sowie für die Übernachtungen geworben wird.Finally, it is possible to take into account the regional peculiarities and, for example, advertise sailing boats and surf courses in the coastal regions in summer, while hiking and the appropriate equipment, as well as overnight stays, are advertised in the inland forest.

Insoweit gestattet die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung je nach regionalen Besonderheiten eine differenzierte und gezielte Werbung, die in dieser Variationsbreite - bereits durch die Kosten bedingt - durch das Werbefernsehen nicht geboten werden kann.To this extent, the device according to the invention permits differentiated and targeted advertising, depending on regional peculiarities, which cannot be offered by advertising television in this range of variation - already due to the costs.

Als Projektionswände kommen übliche Projektionswände für Großprojektionen zu Einsatz, wobei ihre Abmessungen im Hinblick auf die Größe der Freizeitanlage gewählt wird, damit die Benutzer bzw. Besucher einer mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung versehenen Freizeitanlage den Eindruck haben, an einer Live-Sendung teilzunehmen.Conventional projection screens for large-scale projections are used as projection screens, their dimensions being chosen with regard to the size of the leisure facility, so that the users or visitors of a leisure facility provided with a device according to the invention have the impression of participating in a live broadcast.

Die Einrichtung zum Projizieren der Kurzfilme und/oder der Werbespots und/oder der gegebenenfalls einzublendenden bzw. zwischenzublendenden Quizfragen kann eine Projektionseinrichtung sein, wobei dann die Kurzfilme und/oder Werbespots und Quizfragen einen Tonfilm bilden.The device for projecting the short films and / or the commercials and / or the quiz questions that may or may not be shown may be a projection device, in which case the short films and / or commercials and quiz questions form a sound film.
