Be in simultaneously the information context delivery system of commonality schemata and individual pattern

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of system be used to releasing news.

Background technology

Such system typically comprises at least one main distributor and control unit, and described at least one main distributor can release news, and described control unit can make main distributor transmit the selected information of extracting from selected storage data.

Knownly in for example railway station or airport, provide such system.In the time will releasing news with visual form, these systems usually comprise as the video screen of main distributor or have the plate of shutter.In the time will providing information with sense of hearing form, main distributor is taked the form of the speaker system of broadcast sounds announcement.And such system usually is redundant, and they comprise speaker system and video screen.

Described information is specifically related to about the arrival of conveying arrangement and the timetable that sets out, in the situation at the train station, described information is for going out the information of platform and in-track platform about train, perhaps in the situation of airport system, described information is the information about destination or the departure place of flight.

The data that consist of this information are stored in the memory in organized mode, and can select this data according at least one first standard that depends on the first key value.

For example, for display case as getting to the station on the specific date or leaving all trains at station, the first standard can be date standard, the first key value can be the date.

In meticulousr mode, the first standard can be the timetable standard that defines since the time slice (for example two hours) of current time, and the described current time is got makes key value.Thereby, be presented at all flights that leave airport terminal in two hours or get there.

Sometimes, particularly in the position as the local tourism terminal of foreign country, use the foreign language such as English that information is provided, described position is such as airport or some station.Be more frequently, when providing information with visual form, issue this information by additional issue facility or screen, thereby can obtain at a screen identical information of French, and obtain the identical information of English at adjacent screen.When information is audio form, by regularly notifying to provide in turn this issue with bilingual.

Except this cost that arrange to produce of being provided by system copies with take turns streaming voice by this and issue the caused detest (timetable of not hearing or mishearing, by the audience's fatigue that repeats to cause of announcement etc.), the information of issuing does not always meet all public.

In above-mentioned example, some travellers can not speak English or French, and no matter information is sense of hearing form or visual form, and they can not understand the information of issue like this.

Certainly, for system mentioned above, increasing screen and verbal note is infeasible with the particular case that is suitable for each possible traveller.

And it is useful providing main information issue with the form of for example language-specific, and described language-specific satisfies most of travellers, perhaps replacedly, satisfies typical traveller (for example, saying the traveller of French in French airport).

More generally, there is such problem in the system that is used for releasing news,, make all public's energy visit informations that is, caters to simultaneously the possible personal considerations in this public in the situation that need not to use based on the solution that increases the expensive complexity of issuing facility.

Summary of the invention

The present invention is devoted to improve this situation, specifically, solve above problem by the system that proposes aforementioned type, described system also comprises the short haul connection repeater, and described short haul connection repeater is associated with the physics circumference and can sets up in this circumference and being connected of the portable terminal that is equipped with consistent short-range communication device.Control unit comprises and interface and the control module of this communication relays that control module is designed to carry out the function that affects physics circumference and main distributor.These functions comprise general issuing function, list function and the particular delivery function to main distributor, described list function can be reacted to the existence of portable terminal in described circumference, store simultaneously the corresponding state data of collecting from these portable terminals, and can set up the second key value as the function of status data subgroup, described particular delivery function can be sent the selected information of extracting from selected storage data according to the second standard that depends on the second key value to portable terminal or a plurality of portable terminal of the status data with this subgroup.

Thereby, can be by at least formal different different information of main distributor and the issue of each portable terminal, thus can make information be suitable for consisting of the public's and be present in a guy of institute in the described circumference.

Embodiment

Information issuing system 1 shown in Figure 1 comprises main distributor IDISP 3 and control unit CTRL 5, and main distributor IDISP 3 can send information, connects main distributor IDISP 3 and control unit CTRL 5 with the exchange control signal.Distributor IDISP 3 can take to send the form of the public display unit of visual information, and described public display unit is the information board of LCD screen, plasma screen or shutter type for example.Here, statement " visual information " refers to the information of image, video and/or textual form.

Replacedly, perhaps in addition, distributor IDISP 3 can comprise public audio system, for example provides the public audio system of the type of loud speaker.

Connection between distributor IDISP 3 and the control unit CTRL 5 can be such as wired type of netting twine or use WIFI for example or the wireless type of the short-distance wireless electrical transmission of bluetooth-type.This connection can also be more complicated, can use current available some communication technology, such as the Internet.

Distributor IDISP 3 self can comprise the network of a plurality of distributor that can be identical or can be not identical.Thereby distributor IDISP 3 can comprise two plasma screens and the loud speaker that is connected to unit CTRL 5.

System 1 also comprises short haul connection repeater RLY 7, and short haul connection repeater RLY7 is connected with unit CTRL 5 by wired or wireless connection.Arrange repeater RLY 7 to form physics circumference 9, repeater RLY 7 can be in the communication connection of physics circumference 9 inner foundation with portable terminal Ti (in Fig. 1, index i equals 1,2 and 3), and portable terminal Ti is provided with compatible short-range communication device.Only shown three terminal T1 11, T2 13 and T3 15 in Fig. 1, but will recognize that system 1 can operate with a plurality of terminals, described terminal refers generally to be decided to be Ti.

Terminal Ti can be, for example, provide the communication module of bluetooth, Zigbee or WIFI standard mobile phone, be equipped with such module personal electric assistant (being commonly referred to PDA), provide the headphone of radio transmitter-receiver or the earphone of bluetooth-type.Terminal Ti 11,13 and 15 can send by the information, particularly vision of repeater RLY 7 transmissions and/or the information of form of sound.Visual information refers to image, video or the text of any type.Acoustic information refers to voice signal, music or the text of reading aloud.

Unit CTRL 5 shown in Figure 2 comprises control module CTRLM 17, memory MEM 19, first interface INTFC1 21 and the second interface INTFC2 23, control module CTRLM 17 can carry out function, memory MEM 19 storages have the information of the form of organising data, first interface INTFC1 21 communicates by letter with distributor IDISP 3, and the second interface INTFC2 23 communicates by letter with repeater RLY 7.

Specifically, module CTRLM 17 can affect alternately with interface INTFC1 21 function of distributor IDISP 3 with execution, and can affect alternately with interface INTFC2 23 functions of circumference 9 with execution.Thereby module CTRLM 17 can start terminal Ti 11,13 and 15 broadcasting are stored in information in the memory MEM 19 with data mode, and can start such information is offered distributor IDISP 3.

And, module CTRLM 17 can carry out with memory MEM 19 in the managing concatenated function of data, classify such as reading out data, data writing or to data.

As example, unit CTRL 5 can be the form of central computer unit, described central computer unit includes wired network interface (typically, Ethernet) and the WIFI interface, wired network interface can make unit CTRL 5 and distributor IDISP 3 link, the WIFI interface is connected to repeater RLY 7, and repeater RLY 7 is for being used for the hard disk of storage information data.

Unit CTRL 5 can also be the form of private casing, and described private casing comprises microprocessor, memory, be connected to the blue tooth interface of repeater RLY 7 and be connected to the serial line interface of distributor IDISP3, and described memory is such as the memory of flash type.

Although display-memory MEM 19 belongs to unit CTRL 5, but can provide memory MEM 19 in this outside, unit, and module CTRLM 17 can pass through communication interface reference to storage MEM 19, and described communication interface is network interface (for example, wired or wireless Ethernet) for example.For example, provide the place of a plurality of systems 1 in the spatial entities such as railway station or airport, they can share same centralised storage device MEM 19, can access centralised storage device MEM 19 by radio network interface.So, the necessity that does not have Copy Info.

Now will be by the operation of the diagram descriptive system 1 among the flow chart among Fig. 6 and Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.

Module CTRLM 17 implementation list function INVF 25, it is present in the terminal Ti 11 in the circumference 9,13 and 15 tabulation (step 600) with formulation alternately via interface INTFC2 23 and repeater RLY 7.

According to an embodiment, compare with the previous execution of this function INVF 25, function INVF 25 can find recently to appear at the terminal Ti in the circumference 9.Function INVF 25 is mutual with memory MEM 19, thinks that among these new terminal Ti each is stored in identifier IdTi in the memory MEM 19.Identifier IdTi can comprise number or any out of Memory of identification terminal Ti clearly of the SIM card of terminal Ti.

Thereby function INVF 25 can check each the existence among the terminal Ti that before has been found in the circumference 9.Delete the identifier of non-existent terminal Ti from described tabulation.

Can be impliedly or " with free schema " carry out the discovery of new terminal Ti, that is, the user of portable terminal Ti needn't take specific action that this portable terminal Ti is found and benefit from the information issue from system 1.

In case worked out the tabulation of terminal Ti, function INVF 25 is just mutual with interface INTFC2 23, obtains the set of the status data DjTi relevant with terminal Ti with the terminal Ti 11 from this tabulation, 13 and 15 each.Here, index j represents the status data numbering.By being associated with identifier IdTi among the context table CxtTab 26 shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 these status datas DjTi is stored in the memory MEM 19.

Status data DjTi can comprise the first status data D1Ti.For example, data item D1Ti comprises the data item for the operating language of determining terminal Ti.Data item D1Ti can be, for example, identification align discussion phone the mobile phone operator or, the replacedly code of the country of mobile phone operation, the perhaps code of the language of the figure of Direct Recognition terminal Ti and/or sound interface.

Status data DjTi also can comprise the second status data item D2Ti.For example, data item D2Ti can comprise such data item, and this data item is used for determining whether the user of portable terminal Ti suffers any obstacle, if the user of portable terminal Ti suffers any obstacle, then determine the character (for example, impaired vision or impaired hearing) of obstacle.

Certainly, these are simple examples, can imagine other status data.Can be directly obtain status data DjTi at terminal Ti, perhaps can send by the particular module collection status data DjTi that in terminal Ti, carries out and with it.If suitable, then can the application program of such JAVA type is integrated in terminal Ti, this application program is used for obtaining and/or be emitted in terminal with the unavailable status data of standard mode.Status data DjTi can be relevant with terminal Ti self (model of operator's identifier, terminal etc.), and is perhaps relevant with user's (age, sex etc.) and/or preference (for example, selected interface language).

For more clear, described respectively step 600 and 602, but they can occur simultaneously also.

Function INVF 25 and context table CxtTab 26 are mutual, with state-based subsets of data DjTi, specifically, set up the first key value KVal1 (step 604) according to absolute majority logic OR relative majority logic.

For example, function INVF 25 is established as the first key value the value that occurs this maximum status data items among table CxtTab 26 from status data D1Ti.Value KVal1 can directly be the value of status data item, or the value that maximum values obtains occurs explicitly from value that maximum status data items occurs or with each value of status data item.

For example, when status data comprises operator's nationality's the data item D1Ti of indicating terminal Ti and value that maximum data item D1Ti occurs for " Austria ", the code value of being defined as KVal1 that function INVF 25 can identification German.

Certainly, can obtain other subgroup and other key value from data DjTi.

In step 606, the general issuing function GIDF 27 of module CTRLM 17 is based on the table DatTab 28 selection information datas of the first standard that depends on value KVal1 from the content of memory MEM 19.Store from the information data of showing DatTab 28 in organized mode, so that can access this information data according to query criteria, can realize described query criteria with the form of classification and/or function of search.Specifically, can be with the information data storing among the table DatTab 28 in database.

This first standard can comprise separately value KVal1, other value that perhaps also can consider to link to KVal1 or can not link to KVal1.

Alternatively, function INVF 25 can set up first from the status data subgroup and replenish key value SKVal1.As will further seeing, the character of value SKVal1 can differ widely with the character of value KVal1.

For example, if value KVal1 specifies German, then can provide like this first standard, that is, selected information data is relevant with German information, and the people's of German interest is said in attraction.

In case selected information data, function GIDF 27 just sends to these data distributor IDISP 3 to be used for transmission (step 608).

Function INVF 25 sets up the second key value KVal2 (step 610) for each identifier IdTi from status data subgroup DjTi.The value KVal2 of terminal Ti can only comprise the value of the data item DjTi of this terminal Ti similarly, perhaps can not comprise the value of the data item DjTi of this terminal Ti.

Can be from identical status data subgroup acquisition value KVal2, based on described status data subgroup determined value KVal1 or there is not determined value KVal1.In other words, value KVal1 and KVal2 can indicate combination with dissimilar states.

A customizing messages issuing function PIDF 29 selects to be included in the information data of showing among the DatTab 28 according to the second standard C r2 that depends on the second key value KVal2 for each terminal Ti11,13 and 15.In addition, the data that function PIDF 29 will so select send to respectively terminal Ti 11,13 and 15, thereby reproduce this information in these terminals.

A Cr1 who is used for Information Selection can be different types with the 2nd Cr2.For example, the Cr1 that can formulate standard, so that issue all information relevant with value KVal1, and standard C r2 can comprise additional exclusion standard.

The same as before, but function INVF 25 also the state-based subsets of data set up second and replenish key value SKVal2.The character of value SKVal2 can differ widely with the character of value KVal2.For example, value KVal2 can be relevant with the language indication, and value SKVal2 can be relevant with the form (sense of hearing or visual form) of information issue.

After step 614, again from the described process of step 600 beginning, revise key value to set up new value KVal1 or first.Between step 614 and the step 600 of restarting, can exist the delay of implanting described process to prevent the too fast change that occurs at distributor IDISP 3.

In one embodiment, can set in advance the first default key value, function GIDF 27 can use this first default key value conditionally.Can use this default key value before step 600 beginning in described process, so, this default key value is as the initial value of value KVal1.In one embodiment, carry out function GIDF 27 in step 614 with after postponing arbitrarily, restart to issue IDISP 3 with the first default key value.

Can regard the operation of module CTRLM 17 as organized instruction sequence.Can be to be intended to using module CTRLM 17 by the program of central computer unit or microprocessor operation or the form of microprogram.

To point out, because the first key value KVal1 is identified for selecting to being present in the standard that all (or great majority) terminal Ti in the circumference 9 are public information, so the first key value KVal1 is public in essence, and it is opposite, because it is the standard of distinctive information that the second key value KVal2 is identified for selecting to each terminal Ti, so the second key value KVal2 is privately owned in essence.

What the technology no matter repeater RLY 7 uses is, advantageously, provides continuity or the complementarity of system 1 to guarantee to serve.Thereby when distributor IDISP 3 issue was revised the new information data of function of key value as first, terminal Ti received new information data in fact simultaneously.Here, determiner " simultaneously " refers to the user of terminal Ti, and it indicates " any delay that does not in fact have the user to experience ".

When repeater RLY 7 uses the Bluetooth technologies operation, single bluetooth unit can be exclusively used in find new terminal Ti 11,12 and 13 and terminal Ti and repeater RLY 7 between communication.Advantageously, system 1 comprises a plurality of bluetooth units.Therefore, a bluetooth unit can be exclusively used in fully finds new terminal Ti 11,13 and 15, that is, it does not participate in communication.Therefore, system 1 comprises only for a plurality of BTCN of being bluetooth units of communicating by letter with terminal Ti.

Can be from the performance of this system's imagination be derived and will be integrated in the quantity BTCN of the bluetooth unit the system 1.Switch the required maximum delay DLY of distributor IDISP 3 and be the quantity BTCN of the bluetooth unit of the quantity N that described information sent to its terminal Ti, installation and the function of being connected bluetooth and connecting required time CxD.For example expression postpones DLY according to formula (1):

DLY＝ceilinginteger{N/min(BTCN，N)}x CxD (1)

Function ceilinginteger is associated real number with tight integer greater than this real number.For example, ceilinginteger (3.75)=4.

The value of selection set time CxD by Bluetooth technology, this value is approximately 5 seconds.

The date t0 computing relay DLY that is connected with terminal Ti can started.

At date ti, unit CTRL 5 is connected to terminal Ti.Provide the constant time lag DLYi that communicates by letter with terminal Ti according to formula (2):

DLYi＝DLY-(ti-t0) (2)

Be fixed as by the value of selecting to postpone DLY and DLYi and make the user obtain the excellent operation of system 1 or the delay of acceptable operation.By being connected selection and the predetermined quantity N of the terminal Ti that connects come then solution formula (1) of solution formula (2) with DLYi based on postponing DLY, obtain the quantity BTCN of the bluetooth unit that will provide.

If according to the WIFI standard operation, then providing according to formula (3), repeater RLY 7 postpones DLY:

DLY＝NxCxD (3)

The value of selection set time CxD by the WIFI technology, this value is approximately 10 milliseconds (comprising the processing time).As a result, except the situation that has a large amount of N terminal Ti, for the user of terminal Ti, it is negligible postponing DLY.

In fact, formula (1), (2) and (3) make it possible to the size of Adjustment System 1, with continuity or the complementarity that obtains above-mentioned service.

The first usage example of the present invention will be described now.System 1 is provided in the waiting area in the airport.Distributor IDISP 3 has the form of LCD screen, and this LCD screen can show the information of the text type relevant from the different flights that leave the airport and arrive at the airport.The data relevant with this information of different language are stored in the memory MEM 19.

Design repeater RLY 7 is so that circumference 9 covers the zone that comprises distributor IDISP 3.Know that in advance the different traveller of its nationality has terminal Ti 11,13 and 15.

Flow chart among Fig. 7 illustrates the operation of system 1 under this particular case.

In step 700, as previously mentioned, function INVF 25 sets up the terminal Ti 11 that is present in the circumference 9,13 and 15 tabulation.

In step 702, each from terminal Ti 11,13 and 15 of this function INVF 25 obtained each the mobile phone operator's who communicates by letter nationality among the initial office terminal Ti as status data D1Ti.

In step 704, the identifier of the language that function INVF 25 will be associated with the nationality who maximum operators occurs is established as the first key value KVal1.

Suppose, for example, by German operator's operating terminal T1, by French operator's operating terminal T2, by Austrian operator's operating terminal T3.Because German is in circumference 9 interior appearance twice, and French only occurs once, so function INVF 25 is with the identifier value of being established as KVal1 of German.In other words, here, value KVal1 specifies the main language of circumference 9 inside.

In operation 706, function GITF 27 is established as German for the first standard C r1 that selects information data.In other words, function GIDF 27 selects the enough German of energy to show the data of information.

In step 708, function GIDF 27 sends to distributor IDISP3 with selected data, thereby the information that is presented on the screen is German.In other words, with the information on the main language display screen in the circumference 9.

In step 710, function INVF 25 is established as the identifier of French the second key value KVal2 of terminal T2 13.Alternatively, this function INVF 25 is established as the identifier of German the value KVal2 of terminal T1 11 and T3 15.

Function PIDF 29 sets up the second information data choice criteria Cr2 from value KVal2, thus selected data representation French information (step 712).

In step 714, the information data that this function PIDF 29 will so select sends to terminal T2 13, thereby is presented on this terminal T2 13 with French about the information that arrives at the airport and leave the flight on airport.Alternatively, German information is sent to terminal T1 11 and T3 15.

Although still set up the first standard C r1 and the second standard C r2 based on the first key value KVal1 and the second key value KVal2, the first standard C r1 and the second standard C r2 can have more more options.Thereby, can set up the first standard C r1, to select with the country of leaving for to say German or from such country, such as Austria or the relevant German information data of the German flight that arrives.Then distributor IDISP 3 only shows this information.Similarly, can set up the second standard C r2, be presented on the terminal T2 13 only to select the French information data relevant with the flight of French company.

As shown in Figure 8, the first standard C r1 can be different types with the second standard C r2.Thereby standard C r1 makes screen show with German and not have further to distinguish (the first row of table), and the second standard makes all flights in two hours that follow from that time terminal T2 13 only with French demonstration company " Air France " Flight.

As previously mentioned, advantageously, system 1 has such size, with the continuity of guaranteeing to serve.Thereby when the language in circumference 9 interior main language changes and screen display changed, affected terminal Ti received the information that is equal to the language expression that before was used for demonstration immediately.As a result, if necessary, then use formula (1), (2) and (3) to determine the size of system.

Flow chart among Fig. 9 illustrates the alternative embodiment of the first embodiment of the present invention.In this alternative embodiment, function INVF 25 obtains nationality's indication as status data D1Ti, obtains the obstacle indication as D2Ti (step 902).Status data item D2Ti can suppose the value of indication " not having obstacle ", " impaired vision " or " impaired hearing ".

Suppose that for example, function INVF 25 obtains the status data item D2T3 of indication " impaired vision " from terminal T3 15, obtains status data D2T1 and the D2T2 that indication " does not have obstacle " from terminal T1 11 and T2 13.

The same as before, function INVF 25 sets up the first key value KVal1 of expression German indication and the first additional key value SKVal1 that indication " does not have obstacle ", SKVal1 be with in value (step 906) corresponding to the value of the maximum status data D2Ti of circumference 9 interior appearance.

In step 908, function GIDF 27 is according to based on the key value KVal1 of indication German and additional key value SKVal1 that indication " does not have obstacle " and the first definite standard C r1 selects information data.For example, function GIDF 27 selects the German information data of textual form.

In step 910, function GIDF 27 sends to distributor IDISP3 with selected data, thereby the same as before, and the demonstration of distributor IDISP3 switches to German.

In step 912, function PIDF 29 selects information data based on the second standard C r2, and the second standard C r2 is the function of the additional key value SKVal1 of the key value KVal2 of indication " French " and indication " impaired vision ".For example, set up the second standard C r2, with the French information data of the form of selecting a sound, that is, read aloud and be the text of voice data for example by pre-recorded.Can be provided for automatically the information data of textual form being converted to equipment or the automatic fetch equipment of the information data of audio form.

In step 914, selected information data is sent to terminal T2 13 send being used for, thereby this information is published to the user visually impaired of terminal T2 with sense of hearing form.

In this usage example, additional key value causes the vision issue of text and the switching between the sense of hearing issue.

In the application example of the invention described above, the information of the function of his status data of conduct that the user receives at his portable terminal Ti is equal to the information that distributor IDISP3 issues semantically.Basically relevant with the form of issue with the difference of status data combination.Yet, currently do not think that this characteristic is restrictive.In the description in front, equivalent is relevant with the information content of data, but it is also can be only relevant, perhaps only relevant with additional information with the character of the information of the content that does not keep equivalent.

As previously mentioned, specifically, distributor IDISP3 can issue according to default value or the information selected according to majority logic.Should be appreciated that, these two preference patterns can be combined.For example, after the specific period of the issue of the information of selecting according to majority logic, can be that another specific period is selected information according to default key value.

By revising alternative condition, at least some in information can being issued move on to terminal Ti from distributor IDISP3, to minimize any failed effect of device.This moves can be spontaneous, is intended to for example make the load of distributor IDISP3 to brighten.In some cases, can imagine all issuing function are moved on to terminal Ti, move on to terminal Ti at least temporarily.

In the application example of the invention described above, system 1 is fixed.According to the second application example, this system 1 can be mobile.

For example, system 1 can take the form of speaker system, and this speaker system is installed in the motor vehicles and issues pre-recorded information.Arrange repeater RLY 7, unit CTRL 5 and distributor IDISP3 in vehicle, distributor IDISP3 comprises loud speaker.This information can be disaster alarm, for example Leakage Gas.Be present in the mobile circumference 9 everyone and can receive at their portable terminal Ti the disaster alarm of equivalents.Thereby the people who does not understand the language of broadcast warning can be warned in the time identical with other people with hearing impaired people.

According to the 3rd embodiment, system 1 is used in the museum.Guide carrying system 1, in this case, system 1 comprises that the loud speaker of playing pre-recorded commentary is to be used as distributor IDISP3.Guide is also carried unit CTRL 5 and repeater RLY7.Unit CTRL5 and repeater RLY7 can be integrated in the same housing in this case.Follow guide and can not say that the visitor of the language of this guide can receive at their portable phone the commentary of for example sense of hearing form.The text equivalent can be given the visitor who likes.

According to the 4th embodiment, for example on highway, realize system 1 along road axes.So, distributor IDISP3 can take the form of signal plate or information board, and described signal plate is direction indication for example, and described information board is for example indicated transportation condition.Status data DjTi according to terminal Ti, the user can (for example receive the expression signal plate in this terminal in his vehicle, the alphabetical write signal plate that can not read with the user) or information board (for example if, if the user does not know the language of write information) the data of equivalent, described equivalent is such as text equivalent or equivalent that may sounding.In the situation of vehicle with low speed driving, the WIFI technology can be used as for example short-range communication technique.

In the 5th embodiment, system 1 is used in the lobby at hotel or uses in sound distributor IDISP3 any other position with pre-recorded form broadcast music fragment.Unit 5 can be broadcasted when the one section word that just is being broadcasted of textual form are provided on the terminal Ti (for example, mobile phone) by one or more repeaters.In this case, advantageously, provide issue with the form of flow, in this case, use the method that is known as " flow transmission " to provide issue with the form of text flow.To understand, and need to be stored in step in the memory 19 with such any issue of flow transmission form, yet be interim storage.Replacedly, also can carry out by " flow transmission " technology the issue of multistage music.

In the 6th embodiment, system 1 is used in the reception space in hall, town, and in described reception space, the distributor IDISP3 of notice board form provides information, such as, about the information in the geographical position of different administrative services.The form that can compile with the sense of touch text that usually print character is transcribed into Braille equipment provides terminal Ti.Can also provide other terminal Ti with the form of the earphone of bluetooth-type.Thereby described system can be the people who suffers impaired vision transcribing from the information of distributor IDISP3 is provided.

Figure 10 illustrates the favourable further feature according to system of the present invention.Here, system 1 comprises the network 31 for detection of radio-frequency (RF) tag, arranges network 31 to detect such label 33 entering in collecting circumference 9, and perhaps label 33 leaves and/or exist.Sampling network 31 is connected to unit 5, for example via the communication interface (not shown).Thereby, detect the existence of this portable terminal by the radio-frequency (RF) tag that is associated 31 that physically or otherwise is connected to portable terminal.

Here, label 33 can be " RFID " type.Say that more generally the object that is called " radio-frequency (RF) tag " here in this description is passive or half passive small portable object, this object permanent storage sets of bits, and can inquire about this object by short haul connection.Below this sets of bits is called " memory ".Can use the label of other type, for example, be known as the label of the type of " NFC " (from english term Near Field Computing).

Sampling network 31 comprises at least one manager 35 and is connected at least one antenna 37 of described at least one manager 35.Antenna 37 can read the data of the memory that is included in the radio-frequency (RF) tag 33 that is arranged in its scope.Manager 35 is connected to unit 5, for example via communication interface mentioned above.

Manager 35 can comprise, for example, and the RI-CTL-MB2A controller of the series 2000 of being made by Texas Instruments and the RF-MOD-TX8A multiplexer of being made by same company.

As shown in figure 12, the set of the memory stores status data DjTi of label 33, for example, the data item D1Ti of the current language that is just using of the user of identification terminal Ti or above-mentioned any other status data item.

In addition, the mailing address data ComAdrDat that the memory stores of label 33 is relevant with portable terminal Ti.These data ComAdrDat specifically comprises the contact address to portable terminal Ti via repeater RLY7.This can be, for example, the material address of communication interface: if repeater RLY7 by this technical operation, then described material address is the material address of blue tooth interface.If applicable words then can be derived from these data AdrComDat the identifier IdTi of portable terminal.

Preferably, data ComAdrDat and status data DiTj are stored in the same label, and this label is that different data reserve bit regions.Owing to can read single label by antenna 33, the simplification of this special permission different pieces of information is read.Thereby data ComAdrDat and DjTi form same code word.

Label 33 is arranged in the user of portable terminal Ti, for example on the entrained object of the user of terminal T1 11.The portable user object can be taked the form of card, for example is similar to credit card.From the meaning that label 33 and terminal Ti can be integrated, portable terminal Ti can be used as portable object.Label can be Self-adhesive, thereby the user can place it in any substrate voluntarily, for example, and on the terminal Ti.

When antenna 37 detects label 33, above-mentioned functions INVF25 with are connected the interactive interfacing that is connected with manager, to obtain to be included in all the status data DjTi in this label.

Realize this feature of the present invention in each of the application example of the present invention that can formerly describe.Owing to when antenna 37 1 detects the entrained label of user, just detect immediately terminal, accelerate to be present in the discovery stage of the portable terminal Ti in the circumference 9 or the advantage in inventory stage so the interpolation of label Sampling network 31 has.

In according to the specific embodiment shown in Figure 12 of feature of the present invention, can be only by forcing the process point access circumference 9 of identification.In this case, advantageously, these through each of point provide be connected to manager enter/withdraw from detector.Such detector comprises, for example, is arranged in described two row antenna 37A and 37B through point, this two row antenna 37A and 37B is parallel to each other and with respect to moving direction across.Thereby can detect the moving direction of label 33: when row 37A detected label 33 and is expert at the front of 37B, moving direction was that vice versa from antenna 37A to antenna 37B.Advantageously, use so-called " flexibility " antenna, described " flexibility " antenna can adopt support profiles, such as, the flexible antennas on the plastic film of CIPAM CIP ANT-LF type.

Owing to when the in-position, read user tag 33, so this is advantageous particularly.And, can detect their leaving, thereby know that in any given time which terminal Ti is present in the circumference 9 easily.

This specific embodiment has also avoided distribution antenna 21 on whole operating space 5.Although in Figure 12, show circumference 9 with solid line, should realize that this circumference needn't seal physically.

Also advantageously, as shown in figure 12, in network, arrange many repeater RLY with basically cover demarcated according to circumference 9 had living space.

Alternatively, unit 5 also is connected to the access interface 39 with the global communications network 41 of wired or wireless type, such as GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, IP etc. of described global communications network 41.

On the one hand, this access interface 39 allows unit 5 access Remote data processing devices, and described Remote data processing device is suitable for for example carrying out that additional data is processed or away from the material resources of circumference 9.

On the other hand, access interface 9 is so that can set up and the communicating by letter of portable terminal Ti 11, and described portable terminal Ti 11 has relevant global communication device 43, namely, the global communication device 43 of cellular network type, described cellular network type such as GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS etc.Specifically, this so that can set up with the portable terminal Ti 11 of standard portable electric call type communicate by letter to be used for transmitting the data of classification.In this case, advantageously, data ComAdrDat comprises by the call number of cellular network to portable terminal.The issue of SMS (text message) or MMS (Multimedia Message) form for example, can be provided.

Advantageously, label 33 is for being known as the type of passive label, that is, label 33 does not have autonomous energy or disposal ability.Yet it can comprise the message that is stored in the data in its memory by transmission and come query requests is responded.Always extract the required energy of this ability from the induced current of inquiring about the signal of equipment, in this case, described query facility is antenna 37.This design means that this system is not subjected to energy constraint, and has removed the weight that this implied from.

Yet, will understand, if active label, namely those labels of energy source with them namely, limit them request signal are responded with operate in passive mode, can use these active labels.

As example, can use the label that is known as the TITISRI-TRP-W4FF that is made by Texas Instruments.

Mailing address data ComAdrDat can form user identifier, for example at controller 5.In some cases, in the label 33 of reality, available such user identifier makes the complete or replacement mailing address data ComAdrDat of mailing address data ComAdrDat.

Replacedly, data ComAdrDat can be stored in the different labels, particularly when the off-capacity of the memory of single label 33.Thereby these data ComAdrDat and DjTi form several code words (perhaps code collection).If repeater RLY uses different technical operations simultaneously, then data ComAdrDat also can comprise the data item of particular communication technology of the user institute preference of identification terminal Ti.

Preferably, Sampling network 31 comprises a plurality of antennas 37 that are connected to manager 35.

Can imagine the various layout (not shown)s of an antenna or a plurality of antenna 37:

-Sampling network 31 can have the individual antenna 37 that is connected to manager 35.But tags detected 33 is in the existence of the specified point of circumference 9 inside.Only this specified point in circumference 9 reads the data in the memory that is included in label 33.

-Sampling network 31 can comprise and is connected to manager 35 and is distributed a plurality of antennas 37 with the overlay area.Specifically, but distribution antenna 33, so that can be in any some reading tag 33 of circumference 9 inside, perhaps can be along circumference 9 distribution labels 33.

-Sampling network 31 can comprise a plurality of managers 35, especially when reaching the antenna of maximum quantity that can be connected to single manager 35.

For the more details of the operation of the description of Figure 10 to Figure 12 and Sampling network 31, can with reference to No. 0601031 french patent application of being submitted on February 6th, 2006 by applicant, hereby incorporate this application into as a reference.

According to the embodiment of exploitation of the present invention, use system 1 with the form of while translation system, for example be used for presiding room.

When each participant registers, give each participant the card with the label of RFID type.The information of this tag storage status data form, the participant provides described information when for example registering.Specifically, these status datas can be identified the language that the participant says.

Wish to use each participant of simultaneously translation service to have for example earphone of bluetooth-type, the address of this earphone is stored in the RFID label on the card.This can be his earphone or the earphone that is leased to once in a while him.

Meeting room is provided with the bluetooth access point that is connected to unit CRTL 5 by local network, and described local network for example is IP network type (IP represents " Internet protocol ").The translation that unit CRTL 5 translates into the different language that offers the audience to major general speaker's statement is stored in its memory 19 temporarily.Under the particular case of interim storage, memory 19 is as buffer (that is, buffer memory).

Being distributed as like this of bluetooth access point in the described room: anyone who is equipped with bluetooth earphone can hear that the language of selection that passes through with them carries out the meeting that flow transmission distributes.

Say more accurately, the statement digitlization that the speaker can be given, and for example use that the agreement of RTSP and RTP type sends to the content server (not shown) with this statement.Similarly, the Interpreter can provide translation, and these translations are offered content server.Content server can be integrated among the unit CRTL5.Suppose content server, unit CRTL5 and be responsible for to the speaker to statement carry out existing between the digitized computer for example data link of IP type, then this content server also can be positioned at the outside of unit CRTL5.Content server can be positioned at the outside of meeting room.

Unit CRTL5 can receive not homogeneous turbulence from content server, and each stream is corresponding with certain translation.This can carry out after from the request of unit CRTL5, and described request is for example used the request of RTSP agreement (that is, " real time streaming transport protocol ").Thereby unit CRTL5 can be stored in the various flows that receives in the memory MEM 19 and (specifically, the various flows that receives be placed its buffer), for example uses Real-time Transport Protocol (" RTP ") to store.Say that more accurately this storage can occur among the table DatTab 28 of memory 19.

The status data of the RFID label that detects according to network 31, unit CRTL5 sends to bluetooth earphone with the stream of the translation of correspondence.This transmission also can be based on Real-time Transport Protocol.

Can organize as shown in figure 12 provides the simultaneously meeting room of translation.

This translation service also can use the mutual means that are different between Sampling network 31 and the radio-frequency (RF) tag 33 to obtain status data.

Described translation service can be used in the performance district such as cinema auditorium, theatre etc.Under it is used in particular case in the auditorium, theatre, use multi-loudspeaker system.

This translation service has avoided being equipped with for meeting room the needs of translation service traditional the time, and translation service is a complexity and expensive operation traditional the time for meeting room is equipped with, especially with regard to the deployment aspect of equipment.In fact, need traditionally for each audience provides the desk that headphone and keyboard are installed, they can pass through keyboard and select them to want to hear the language of meeting.In addition, all desks must be connected to the position of translation that the translator generates speaker's statement.

Also the present invention can be defined as a process.
