  • Information display system
    Patent number: 6131874
    Abstract: An information display system in which positional incompatibility with respect to a user of a display screen is overcome by means of making the screen pivotable to align with the user. Pivotal adjustment can be manual, or (in some embodiments) automatically performed by an in-built user-sensing camera. To protect the display system from children, the display is rendered inactive if the user's height is sensed as being below a pre-set minimum height.
