MULTIMEDIA AUDIO AND VIDEO PLAYER EQUIPMENT

FIXED STORAGE WITH ADVERTISING MATERIAL AND ENTERTAINMENT FOR PASSENGER TRANSPORT

The present invention relates to a fixed storage and playback equipment of standardized multi-media files in MP4, MP3, MPEG3 audio and video formats as entertainment and advertising resources, which transmission will be carried by means of passenger terrestrial transport.

Background of the Invention.

Passenger transport traditionally did not have entertainment such as music, movies or videos along the way, and was incorporated into various cassettes, televisions and audio playback equipment, which added value to the passenger transport service, but common isolated handling. of the material to be reproduced, that is, consideration should be given to the allocation (of the day, week or month) of cassettes, compact discs, VHS tapes, DVD discs, etc. This has led to an increase in the cost of managing the vehicle's assets or accessories and, as a result, a problem of lack of control (registration, location and conditions) has also arisen with the audiovisual material providing a suitable environment for low-risk audio and video playback quality, intellectual property violations, etc. In connection with this, the transmission of advertising material or advertisements is not being used, there is no guarantee that it will be transmitted in its entirety or timely as it depends on the availability of the material and the mood of the operator. The present invention is designed to provide single storage and the reproduction of multimedia music, audiovisual and advertising material, whose operation is simpler, offers a lower administrative cost by having in one equipment the storage of multimedia information and an adequate registration of payment of rights, a better level of security to combat piracy and ensure the quality and integrity of multimedia audio and video material. In addition, this invention provides the ability to deregulate information to be transmitted through a GPS system and can program the reproduction of information that corresponds to the region in time and form, or even according to combined by the transport line. The integration of its components and its compact and versatile design for its installation and operation is what allows it to be easily incorporated into the vehicle.

That is why the present invention was conceived to solve the current problem with the audio and video entertainment resources in the passenger transport mass media or in its modalities; in such a way that the audio and video multimedia material can be frivolous and that it cannot be extracted or duplicated, altered, respecting intellectual property, authorized producing houses and the payment of corresponding rights and proper transmission in time and form local, regional commercials. or nationals.

The present invention consists of a self-stereo format equipment identified as TVDv3 (digital video transport) with DIN dimensions for passenger self-transport, which has a non-removable fixed storage medium for storing music, movies, commercials, videos and other multimedia material in a safe way, preventing it from being extracted or duplicated. FIG. 5

The equipment plays the video or audio according to operator selection by means of a selector. FIG. 4.0 has a high-speed USB2.0 communication port for upgrading by authorized personnel only and with the passkey. FIG. 3b.

The equipment can also operate according to a pre-recorded and GPS assisted programming. FIG. 5.Playback of the information stored in the TVDv3 equipment operates with a coded representation (algorithm) that can be used for compression of mono or stereo audio and video sequences. Mapping information packets create a filtered subset of the input audio signal. A psychoacoustic model creates a set of data for counter and encoder control. Counter and encoder oblique generates a set of coded symbols from the input samples. Packing lock assembles the stream of bits obtained from other locks and aggregates other information as error-correcting bits. Modes of use and operation.

TVDv3 equipment is used as an audio and video player within the passenger self-transporting vehicle and is a means of entertainment. The vehicle driver can choose, if desired, the audio listening option, select the movie or song by number that he / she wants to play, and can control the presentation of the material with the option of pausing, stopping, advancing or returning.

The main advantage over other audio and video players is the flexible storage capacity, anti-copy security, small format for installation and transportation, the equipment is specifically designed for the passenger transport industry in its different modes, alternative GPS-supported programming. for regionalization of information production, restricted access for information exchange via USB ports. Simple installation and low purchase cost.

Manual Operation of TVDv3 Equipment Functions.

The invention focuses on the fact that it is an equipment that integrates the fixed-flexible storage and playback functions of multimedia files in their standardized formats in a single location, in order to ensure the integrity and quality of information restricted and controlled for the exchange or programming of the data. information through an installer key programmed into a ROM memory integrated in the controller.

TVDv3 is a multimedia player designed specifically for the passenger transport industry in its various forms; Allows you to produce high quality audio and video in simple ways.
