Explanation
With reference to Fig. 1, information dissemination system 1 is provided with one and is used for elevator display unit 10 in the elevator 12 that is installed in office tower 14 (being represented by frame of broken lines) and propagates central exit with digital advertisement integrated information together.System 1 comprises a making center 20, generates and propagate the elevator display data by advertising message and " in real time " integrated information are combined, and this task is carried out with other following vital task.It is " in real time " that integrated information is considered as, and this is newer (refreshing with the gap periods that limits) because of this information, do not having under the situation of human intervention simultaneously, by system 1 collect, format and show this information.Integrated information provides (as website) by the information generator 22 by propagation ducts (adopting internet 24 here) bonded assembly arbitrary number.
Each building 14 comprises a building server 28, and this server engages with the making center by internet 24, the image of the advertisement of the merging that is used to show and integrated information is passed to the display unit of elevator.As described in greater detail below, each building server provides integrated information and advertising message by Local Area Network 30 to each elevator display unit 10 of related elevator 12.
Information dissemination system 1 has adopted a notion that is called " microdemography ", can make advertiser and online supplier aim at required statistics population and commercial population.Desirable customers by particular advertisement merchant and online supplier aiming may alter a great deal, and depends on multiple factor.As discussed below, the statistics population that system's 1 collection or mensuration are relevant with the occupant of specific buildings and this building.Therefore, the operational mode of geographic position and elevator and building occupant's nature of business is all measured and is stored by making center 20, thereby the file or the display list 68 (as Fig. 5) of the building of advertisement and comprehensive (" in real time ") content can be conformed to building.
With reference to Fig. 2, they belong to a specific geographic position building 14 expressions that are circled among the figure.For example, the group 7a-7f that ringlet surrounds represents the building 14 in the city (as Boston), and it is also surrounded by bigger geographic area (as New England) 8a-8b.The geographic position is very important demographic factor generally speaking, and is important as the particular business subregion that is aimed at.Therefore, the geographic position difference, but a few building building 14a-14cs relevant with same sowntown population (as financial circles) can be divided into one group (be expressed as by the dash area that intersects and define).Utilize geographic position and commercial location to divide that statistics population can be information provider and the advertiser brings very surprising commercial value.
In an application example of native system, suppose that an advertiser wishes special financial district propagating advertisement towards Northeastern United States.This advertisement need be during two weeks in Best Times the morning occur.Making center 20 is used to obtain the process of the relevant information of representing target statistics population for this advertisement provides automatic request to enter.The building display list 68 of the possible candidate's who is used for advertisement building is set up from target statistics population in making center 20, and defines the time slot that may move that is used for display ads.The Several Factors that influences candidate architecture thing quantity and available time slot comprises: quantity (promptly seeing the number of times of advertisement) is play in target statistics population (as the financial district of Northeastern United States), the advertisement of buying, advertisement begins and steady arm (place of promptly distributing gif file) is imported in the date (as the beginning and the end of two cycles) that finishes, form (280 * 90 gif files) and the advertisement that Best Times requires (being the Best Times in the morning), advertisement.In case identify the time slot of advertisement, the integrated information (upgrading as news, weather) that is provided by online supplier just is provided at making center 20, and these information are incorporated advertisement into, and together show with advertisement.Building display list 68 is specified the format and content that is used for each moment elevator demonstration of this day.Therefore, in this example, making center 20 arranges advertisement to show in the 9: 15 seconds mornings in a building display list, also shows local news simultaneously, and in another building display list, moved same advertisement in 8: 15: 0 morning, also show the renewal of weather simultaneously.Importantly, should point out building display list 68 limits what when shows, but not comprise actual displaying contents.On the contrary, building display list 68 is provided for obtaining the pointer of the information on the internet 24.
Subsequently, making center 20 must send advertisement and the information relevant with advertisement that is included in the building display list 68 to elevator ride person.Building server 28 is responsible for from the making center 20 and is downloaded the building display lists, and 24 extract concrete advertisement and integrated informations from the internet, subsequently in display interior collection and the propagating advertisement and the information of elevator display unit 10.Building server 28 is used the pointer extracting content in the display lists 68, and these contents are stored in specific building 14 in this locality.Can make building server 28 in building 14, set up the very good propagation ducts of a performance like this.In this example, building server 28 utilizes the advertisement steady arm that is included in the display list 68 to extract the gif file that is activated that is used for advertisement, and stores this document in this locality.The content that utilization stores in this locality, building server 28 is read display list 68, compiles the demonstration number of times by the tabulation indication, and they are propagated into single elevator 12.Therefore, in this example, in the 9: 15 seconds mornings, building server 28 pooled together the local news and the advertisement of appointment, and showed in elevator 12.
The relevant details of the major part of information dissemination system 1 is as follows.
With reference to Fig. 3, elevator display unit (EDU) 10 receives and handles the data that provided by building server 28, generates to show image.Elevator display unit 10 comprises that this telltale 13 comprises a lcd controller, a backlight assembly, a supply transformer and a flat-panel monitor (not shown) by the telltale 13 of a single board computer (SBC) 34 and a NIC (NIC) 36 controls.The operation of computing machine 34 management elevator display units 10 comprises the situation of occupying of the spending of system's installation and supervision, network, display data transmission and elevator.NIC 36 and local network 30 interactions, and during system start-up, install by computing machine 34.The display data that is broadcast to elevator display unit 10 downwards from building server 28 is represented the transmission quantity of most of networks.On downward direction (promptly from building server 28 to elevator display unit 10), transmission volume in most cases comprises the propagation data of demonstration.On downward direction, limited amount control information is only arranged, although these data have been left in the basket.NIC 36 directly transmits display data to telltale 13.The interrupt request of service is sent in control information to computing machine 13.On the direction that makes progress (promptly from elevator display unit 10 to building server 28), transmission volume comprises occupied information and system monitoring data.All data that make progress that produced by computing machine 34 are sent to the NIC 36 that is used to send data.
The data that come from building server 28 are sent to each elevator display unit 10 by local area network 30 (being expressed as the part that with dashed lines surrounds).Specifically, utilize the ring twisted wire 38 transmission data of the ethernet network switch 40 of management data transmission by copper.
System 5 also has a key character not discuss, i.e. its closed loop characteristic.Detect advertisement according to image (promptly seeing the number of times of advertisement).Determining needs the result of system feedback with the measurement generation of elevator Occupation efficiency by the visual number of times that system 1 transmits.
Provide feedback to system 1, each elevator display unit 10 comprises an Occupation efficiency detector 42, and this detector detects certain elevator at daylong number of users with preset time interval (as 5 seconds).Every day,, serve as that gather these data on the basis with each building, and these data upload are arrived making center 20 by building server 28 particularly at inaction interval.Making center 20 these feedback informations of utilization are kept accounts, and safeguard the data bank 60 (as shown in Figure 5) at making center.Specifically, this feedback is used to upgrade still at the advertisement image that shows, and sets up the transmission information of adding up for each building.These data are very crucial to dispatch list and ad sales process.
When the passenger entered or leave elevator, Occupation efficiency detector 42 utilized the sensor (not shown) to produce a paired pulses.For example, sensor can be arranged in the elevator door.The pulse characteristic decision passenger of sensor enters or leaves elevator.The count value that Occupation efficiency detector 42 is preserved Occupation efficiency according to these sensor outputs.34 pairs of these Occupation efficiency count values of computing machine are carried out periodic sampling.Therefore, each elevator display unit 10 produces the Occupation efficiency historic records of every day, and this historic records can be used for advertisement record keeping process.
With reference to Fig. 4, under the control of building server 28, telltale 13 subregions show, the information of particular type are shown in the concrete zone of telltale.Telltale 13 comprises that one is used for the advertisement title division 44 of display ads and other business information, and " in real time " content part 46 that is used to show integrated information." in real time " content part 46 can be divided into other parts (taking passages 50 as demonstration information), one or more pictures 52 relevant with extracts, and the explanation of picture 54.For example, as shown in FIG., provide the Speciality Foods of caffee room breakfast on the same day at title division 44 for elevator passenger, for example, caffee room is located at the ground floor of building 14.Simultaneously, the interested news content of common people is taken passages part 50 demonstrations in information, and relevant picture 54 also shows together.
As mentioned above, the basic function at making center 20 is to set up and issue elevator display data.The elevator display data of setting up comprises news, information and advertisement is merged, thus the concrete display list 68 of making building.Issue display list by the interconnectivity that internet 24 provides.
Another critical function at making center 20 is the websites that administer and maintain system 1.Portal management building 14 and a central site, hereinto the potential advertiser of heart website can obtain with in the relevant information of system's promulgating advertisement.The user of elevator also can enter this website obtain with telltale 13 in elevator 12 on " in real time " information or the relevant supplementary of advertising message that show.For example, use details that may not can remember particular advertisement (as the speciality in a certain dining room in today building), perhaps thinking to understand more the News Stories of the extracts that on " in real time " part 48, shows.The making center
With reference to Fig. 5, making center 20 comprises that one makes central database 60, scheduler module 62, building loader 64 and bill and database maintenance module 66.In general, make the data of central database 60 storages and advertisement, " in real time " content and building relating to parameters.
Scheduler module 62 utilizes data bank to produce the display list 68 that is used for a certain building 14.As mentioned above, building display list 68 (as shown in Figure 5) plays a part menu, is used for building server 28 to set up daylong display image.Scheduler module 62 also provides useful advertisement and the content information that is sent to bill and database maintenance module 66, and this module 66 generates accumulation bill and the invoice 70 that is used for each advertiser and " in real time " content provider.Accumulation bill and invoice 70 also store, after being used on the make heart data bank 60 extract.Make central database
Make the data bank that central database 60 comprises three kinds of fundamental types: 1) building characteristics; 2) " in real time " content; 3) ad content.
The building characteristic data that produces is used to set up microdemography's distribution situation of concrete building.Set up the population microdemography from structure building characteristics process.Structure building characteristic process is made up of three parts: 1) where the geographic position of building-be building is located in (city, state, regional or the like); 2) population of operation classification-building is divided into and manages classification (bank, insurance, financial service, law, advertisement, real estate or the like); 3) self study-in case install, system just can obtain building characteristics.(often be established as the best time period) during the peak operation and average elevator Occupation efficiency situation under (important scheduling part) be the representative type self-learning property.
The result that characteristic is handled is stored in as the building characteristic data and makes in the central database 60, so that use in scheduling process, and comprises the information of listing in the following table 1.

Table 3 scheduler module
By generating ad contents and " in real time " contents, and these contents are combined, can make scheduler module 62 have the premiere feature of setting up the building display list from making central database 60.
With reference to Fig. 6, scheduler module 62 is carried out first analytical procedure (100), judges which building is to make the target that each advertisement may be selected in the central database 60.Scheduler module 62 is utilized the information that is provided by the advertiser in the mode of automatic request logon process, generate building initial list 72 and can with the double-type advertisement of its group.The advertiser utilizes the website at making center to carry out logon process, this website can provide electronics login form, this form can make the advertiser login required information, and these advertising messages need issue on schedule, to allow the statistics population of its target, commercial population see.On the other hand, the advertiser can provide relevant information by phone meeting, application form or third party's representative.Utilization such as advertisement is initial/and Close Date, Best Times requirement, delivery time and image parameter or the like auxiliary criteria can be in second analytical procedure (102) initial list 72 of further abridging.The result of these analytical procedures is the concrete tabulations 68 that generate an advertisement building, the time gap when this is tabulated advertisement and these advertisements and may be shown.
Next step, by building feature data (referring to table 1) are connected to building (104), scheduler module 62 can be " in real time " content preference that is used for each building as initial point.Utilize these information, " in real time " building that can generate " in real time " content specifically tabulates 76.
Utilization is assigned to ad content and " in real time " content of building, and scheduler module 62 combines tabulation 74 and 76, generates a building display list 68 (106).Specifically, when merging the ad content be used for each building 14 and " in real time " content, scheduler module 62 will consider format of content, time gap and advertizing situation.When will at first consider time gap and advertizing situation, this is because they determine display ads, and which type of " in real time " content follows advertisement to show together." in real time " content shows with fixed interval (as per 30 seconds kinds).Thus, scheduler module 62 will at first be deposited " in real time " content.
The demonstration arrangement of advertisement also will submit to propagation conditions and take situation.The always important propagation conditions of network user's situation on and off duty is being arranged aspect the effect spread particular advertisement.For example, most of people arrived office in the same time of every day, have lunch, leave office in 30 minutes.Thus, for any given building, scheduler module 62 will guarantee that all the same advertisement that shows the previous day can not show again in these 30 minutes.The result is that advertizing must compare evenly in the demographic scope of building.The advertisement Occupation efficiency is another important condition.Advertisement can be rotated (changeing once as per 15 seconds) apace.But, not arrange fully under the full situation in advertisement schedule, system 1 will fix and rotate same advertisement or rotate some limited advertisements.Like this may be very uninteresting concerning elevator passenger.For reducing this possible worry, scheduler module 62 prolongs during the demonstration of each advertisement, makes this transition cause the attention that people are less.
In case ad content and " in real time " content are limited for each time slot, and scheduler module 62 will be created demonstration.Advertisement and " in real time " format of content are important, and this is because which template form can determine to select be used for whole demonstrations.As mentioned above, advertisement and " in real time " content must be deferred to a series of predetermined format.In case when they are combined, just they are put into a framework.Frame representation therefrom produces the template of final demonstration.Because format of content can change, scheduler module 62 is selected the suitable frame type, so that they are merged.The number of content format need limit wittingly to simplify merging process.Utilize the definite time slot and the information of framework type, scheduler module 62 can be set up building display list 68.
With reference to Fig. 7, show the form of the building display list 68 that is used for management " in real time " content and ad content set.Display list 68 comprises one " in real time " content part 80, and this part on the make directly generates from " in real time " data in the heart data bank 60, and determines the refresh cycle of " in real time " content.Display list 68 also comprises an ad content part 82, this part definition time and the framework type that is used for ad content.
With reference to Fig. 5, making center 20 also comprises a building loader 64, as the interface between making center 20 and the building 14 in the system 1.Owing to carry out the communication with building on internet 24, this provides a price cheap and propagate mechanism widely.Regrettably, internet 24 also is the passage of a potential deterioration system.Consider this danger, designed system 1 requires each building server 28 from making center 20 solicited messages, rather than makes making center 20 propagation datas.Building loader 64 is carried out a verification process, is that server from relevant with system 1 sends to guarantee to ask, and this request can be discerned by system 1, so that each building request one display list.Before propagating, 64 pairs of display lists of building loader are encrypted, thereby the information that further prevents is subjected to worsening potentially.Bill and database maintenance module
Bill and database maintenance are also very crucial for the closed loop characteristic of system 1.As mentioned above, scheduler module 62 generates the building display list according to demographic parameter of trace and statistical probability, in specific buildings, produces a large amount of advertisement images in specified time.For forming closed loop system, the elevator occupancy rate information of accumulating each building 14 according to daily benchmark.Can make system 1 adapt to the variation of building characteristic like this, thus propagating advertisement and content better.Bill and database maintenance module 66 are used for providing this feedback to system 1.These two kinds of operations, promptly bill and database maintenance are in same process, but produce different output.Feedback process relates to a building display list 68 and is added on the building Occupation efficiency number.From then in the process, can calculate the actual image number that is used for each advertisement.The bill operation utilizes this information to set up advertiser's report and invoice 70.Database maintenance is manipulated the image that these Data Update are made each advertisement that does not transmit as yet in the central database 60.That is to say that the number (referring to table 3) of " not transmitting image " is modified.In addition, bill and database maintenance module 66 will further change the building Occupation efficiency, with change building characteristic data.For example, bill and database maintenance module 66 can be changed field label " building work-hours ", " Best Times cycle " and " the average Occupation efficiency of elevator " (referring to table 1).Important herein feedback is that definition dead band (time that a small amount of elevator passenger is only arranged), peak value are checked cycle and the average Occupation efficiency of elevator.In dispatching process, these are scheduler module 62 employed important parameters.Building server
In general, building server 28 and making center 20 interfaces, stores advertisements and " in real time " content show elevator display unit, and manage this local area network 30.
With reference to Fig. 6, building server 28 comprises making center/WAN (PCWAN) interface 90, and this interface is responsible for and making center 20 and internet 24 communications.As mentioned above, each building 14 is 20 receptions, one display list 68 from the making center, this tabulation definition displaying contents and time gap.Internet 24 is used for gathering " in real time " content and transmits advertising message.This locality " in real time " data bank 92 is stored in " in real time " output that comes from interface 90 into, and advertising database 94 is stored in the 24 advertisement outputs of extracting into from the internet.These representatives are by the local copy of internet 24 information extractions.Preserve local copy, to avoid potential fault, in fact this fault can forbid producing performance-oriented demonstration image, for example, comprises the vigor of image, the fluency and the film effect of image.According to the needs of building display list definition, carry out the database update operation.
By the compilation and the demonstration of one display generator/LAN (DGLAN) interface, 96 execution contents, this interface is explained building display list and particular content is collected.The result generates a html file, is fed to each elevator display unit 10 by local area network 30.
Building server 28 comprises that also one is used to store the Occupation efficiency data bank 98 of the information relevant with the Occupation efficiency of single elevator 12 in the building.Making center/wan interface
With reference to Fig. 9, the mutual action of 90 management of PCWAN interface and internet 24.Generally go up with wide area network (WAN) mutual action, so that improve the safety of internal system from building.PCWAN interface 90 comprises display list routine analyzer 110, and this program is carried out a convert task, sets up the local reference that is used for advertisement and " in real time " content.Be necessary to change, this is because all the elements that are shown in building 14 are all in this locality is stored in data bank 92,94.Thus, the URLs based on WAN that is included in the initial display list is invalid.Routine analyzer 110 also with ad content accumulator/accum 112 mutual actions.Because advertisement is stored building in this locality, the process that just must add up is set up local storage.In case analyze adding up of programming start advertisement when routine analyzer 110 is determined to comprise the advertisement that can not obtain in the display list in current ad content data storehouse.The function of accumulator/accum will with the WAN mutual action, extract the information lose, and this information storage to data bank.Local URL for advertisement returns, and routine analyzer 110 is write data to local building tabulation.Be used for " in real time " content and also carry out similar operations.But, in the case, according to refresh cycle execution refresh operation.In the building display list, define the refresh cycle that is used for " in real time " content.Display list routine analyzer 110 to " in real time " proxy module 116 transmit the refresh cycles, based on URL and " in real time " database address of WAN.Proxy module 116 is adjusted the refresh cycles, and with wan interface controller 109 mutual actions, thereby extract " in real time " content.Store this content according to the steady arm that provides by routine analyzer 110.Display generator/LAN interface
With reference to Figure 10, display generator/LAN (DGLAN) interface 96 is carried out two kinds of different operations; 1) compilation of telltale and transmission; 2) collect the Occupation efficiency data.
For second step in these operations, the calculating of Occupation efficiency plays important effect in system.Weigh advertisement with the price that whenever increases progressively 1000 eye impressions.The effect that someone is subjected to advertisement is defined as eye impressions.In system 1, the demonstration of advertisement occurs in the elevator 12.For determining the number of times of the advertising vision impression that using system 1 shows, need a kind of method of measuring the elevator Occupation efficiency.The information that DGLAN interface 96 adds up and measures from each elevator is set up the Occupation efficiency data bank that is used for each building 14.Occupation efficiency accumulator/accum 130 extracts take off data (when generally being the end at a day) between system's lay-off period from each elevator.This information provides the elevator Occupation efficiency with the fixed interval in the whole day.Occupation efficiency accumulator/accum 130 is aggregated into independent tabulation to these information, and this tabulation is sent to making center 20 and keeps accounts.
The compilation of telltale and transmission are the premiere features of DGLAN interface 96.The telltale compilation is by local building display list 114 controls, except that having deleted " in real time " controlled variable and all content locator (as URL) replaced it by local equivalent elements, this tabulation is used and the 68 identical forms of tabulating of the building shown in Fig. 5.DGLAN interface 96 comprises that a display format routine analyzer 120 and shows assembler program 122.Display format routine analyzer 20 utilizes Hyper Text Markup Lauguage (HTML) to set up display frame.HTML is widely used in internet 24, can make demonstration information, and is easy to be understood by modern browser technology.In case be provided, display format routine analyzer 120 just generates a html template that is used, and sets up actual displaying contents.Local building display list definition frame type.Display analysis program 120 is explained this framework type, and produces a html file, is used to illustrate the physical attribute of demonstration.These attributes comprise the boundary of absolute location, size and each content segmentation.Template does not have the pointer of these content segmentations.The content segment pointer is by showing that assembler program 122 generates.
Show that assembler program 122 is applied in the final stage that shows generating period.Begin the compilation that shows at interval according to definition time in the display list.Limited by the time indicating device, each demonstration is collected, and be sent to display server 124.Show the html template that assembler program 122 is analyzed by 120 generations of display format routine analyzer, find the boundary of content segmentation.This template will meet the boundary of the content segmentation of explanation in display list 114.As a result, demonstration assembler program 122 has been inserted the positioning pointer that is used for each content segmentation.In case inserted the pointer of each content segmentation, html file just prepares to be transferred to elevator display unit 10.
Elevator display unit 10 is connected with building server 28 by local area network 30.Display server 124 manages local area network by " in real time " and the ad content that extract html files from demonstration assembler program 122 and illustrated by HTML.Subsequently, display server 124 during these data transfer become display format with elevator display unit 10 compatibilities, package file host-host protocol and data converted, and the data transmission of this encapsulation to gateway 40 (shown in Figure 3), so that propagate.From show assembler program 122 extract data task can because from elevator display unit 11 to building server 28 the distance of separating too big (as greater than 1500 feet), and produce more difficulty.
With reference to Figure 11, it is right that display server 124 and elevator display unit 10 form network host/demonstration, and wherein elevator display unit 13 only is the extension of server display.The THML file is explained by browser 136 (as Internet Explorer 4.0, the product of Microsoft).The operating system that building server 28 is used (the MicrosoftWindows NT that produces as Microsoft) in-to-in browser 136 and display driver 138 mutual actions are with the hardware communication relevant with telltale 13.Display data is translated program 140 and extracts, and this program is once more data alignment elevator display unit 10 and telltale 13.These data store server 28 in this locality, reduced the influence of browser refresh delay.Procotol canned software module 42 is extracted data from high-speed cache, adds the TCP/IP Communication Layer.This encapsulation of data is sent to network interface, and is transferred to LAN by gateway 30 (as shown in Figure 3).
Claim is subsequently also supported further embodiment.For example, the propagation ducts that is used by above-mentioned information dissemination system 1 is internet 24.This internet, or " network " provide growth, an existing basic design, so that obtain information, and sets up contact between computing machine.But information dissemination system 1 also can utilize other passage to realize that these passages include line modem, satellite, XDSL.
As the above-mentioned discussion relevant with Fig. 4, twisted-pair feeder 38 can replace with the propagation medium of other type, comprises that optical fiber, coaxial cable, RF transmit.And in application-specific, the ethernet in the local area network 30 among available non-symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) replacement Fig. 3 connects.Building owner manager (BOM) interface
The information dissemination system 1 that is illustrated in as mentioned above among Fig. 1 comprises a making center 20, this center and building server 28 mutual actions, and the picture inversion that advertisement and integrated information are combined is used for showing on elevator display unit 10.As mentioned above, system 1 can also make the resident family's communication in building owner and supvr and the building.As described in wanting as following horse back, this ability offers the building management device by building owner manager (BOM) interface.
For example, with reference to Figure 12, shown BOM interface 200 comprises by the BOM interface (BOMGUI) 202 of propagation ducts 24 with one or more building subsystem 204 communications.Shown building subsystem 204 comprises building server 28, building LAN30 and comprises the building display unit 206 that is installed in the elevator display unit 10 in the elevator 12.As shown in Figure 1, propagation ducts 24 can be by the device representative such as internet 24.In the case, shown propagation ducts 24 comprises other connecting path, such as directly or indirectly connecting by office premises LAN208, dialing modem 210 and ISP 209.Importantly, should note difference between the building LAN30 of office premises LAN208 and building subsystem 204.Particularly, office premises LAN208 represents building management person's oneself local area network is used for office's in-to-in communication.On the other hand, building LAN30 is private local area network, only is specifically designed to information dissemination system 1.
In general, BOM interface 200 can make the building management device to building resident family transmission information, and the information on the display unit 10 that is installed in the elevator 12 can be seen by resident family, and other telltale 206 that is installed in the whole building building also can show this information.The information of utilizing BOMGUI200 to produce is merged in building server, and does not have and making center 20 mutual actions.Thus, generation and propagation that the building management device can control information, and can promptly revise this information.
The information type that application BOM interface 200 can be carried has a variety of, for example:
* urgent time information comprises the closing of fire alarm test, garage parking, the variation of building service time, the operation information of concrete building;
* particular incident, as: the activity that arrange vacation, building is interior;
Characteristics/the service in * new building comprises equipment, parking area, cafe, the florist's shop of health club, cafeteria;
* public address/emergence message comprises indication, the storm signal of taking advantage of an elevator passenger, the message of catching fire;
* advertisement information is as the explanation of the announcement of available room, administration and their function.BOM user interface (BOMGUI)
BOMGUI200 represents the User Part of BOM interface 200, be used for providing a running environment, thereby set up, change and send message from arbitrary in esse place in the world to display unit by almost any in the many kinds of coupling assemblings to the building management person.
With reference to Figure 13, BOMGUI200 utilizes template 212 definition message structure and forms.Template 212 is a foundation with HTML, thereby provides variable, a sufficient environment for its upgrading.In one embodiment, it is 640 * 480 form that template 212 is fit to pixels, and utilize a remarks territory<!-information text--〉, this remarks territory is inserted in the placement location of information.Utilize BOMGUI202 to make and fill the information text login of selecting template.Tab, carriage return, space and common text message can be used in the text login territory that is provided.
BOMGUI202 can also import completed html file.Can make building owner and supvr can set up special bulletin like this, and on information system, show them, and the formwork structure of just having discussed above needn't using.The foundation of information
Information is set up each zone that process needs filling template.In BOMGUI202 inside, adopt a kind of in the dual mode to finish this operation.First kind of mode utilizes an information to set up guide, when the user fills each zone, by the content of prompting input requirement input, user-friendly program designation user set up each step of process by information.The second way utilize one by aforementioned guide generate, and the information registration form that stores in advance as setting up information pattern.This form comprises all information areas that the user must fill, and generally is editor's existing information.Adopt this two kinds of approach, the result of logon process is the effective information that can show in system.BOMGUI202 converts this information to from template 212 can be at system's display unit reading and the file that shows.
As described below, BOMGUI202 comprises the routine analyzer that is used to analyze selected template file.The first group analysis program search remarks territory<!-information text--〉.In case the zone is positioned, the second group analysis program becomes html format to these information translation with regard to the operation information text.The result exports one and is called<name of the information〉html file of .htm.These files are transferred to building server 28, so that show in system.BOMGUI202 also can make the supvr show on can other telltale in elevator or in the building before browsing information in advance.Each information that BOMGUI202 is set up repeats this process.The foundation of BOM display list
BOMGUI202 can make the building management, and the person is based upon a plurality of information that show in the building.These information can be sorted, to show simultaneously in whole weeks/months/in year or to propagate.
With reference to Figure 14, BOM display list 220 comprises that a series of building informations 221, each information comprise following a few part: display cycle, information model and the information text on Start Date, the date of stopping, one day.Begin and stop the date determination information when to show for the first time, when withdraw from from system by system.The cycle that shows information in one day also can be selected in BOMGUI 202.In one embodiment, be divided into four periods, i.e., (LT) period dinner hour, and sleep (SLP) period in one day the period in the morning period in the afternoon.These periods are represented intraday time slot, and can be by systems programming.For example, the period in the morning may be defined as from 6 in morning of every day to point in the mornings 11.The building management person can select the concrete time period to be used for the demonstration of information, perhaps selects these information whole days are shown.Thus, in the 220 definition time cycles of BOM display list, promptly how long when each information show, show (as one month, 1 year).The form of BOM display list 220 is similar with the building display list of being set up by making center 20 68 that combines that Fig. 5-9 describes in the above.But BOM display list 220 comprises additional beginning and stop area.
BOM display list 220 utilizes BOMGUI 202 to set up, and generates by passing through each HTML output file information individually, thereby can determine one day cycle and beginning and stop the date.Which one day cycle be used to define and information will occur period.Beginning and stop the date and be directly changed into BOM display list form.For example, sample B OM display list among Figure 14 represents that the ordering of bom_messagel.htm is only between on June 12nd, 98 and 13,98 on June demonstration the period in the morning, and the ordering of bom_messagel.htm is that whole day shows between on June 12nd, 98 and 14,98 on June.As mentioned above, the BOMGUI202 person that can make the building management sends information from any in esse place in the world to telltale.Can in present most computers, utilize popular LAN and WAN technology to finish this operation.BOMGUI202 comprises that one connects and to set up menu.Menu is set up in this connection can make the user define by propagation ducts 24 and the interactional method of building subsystem.Utilize this to set up menu, the user can set up a plurality of passages of the information that sends to building subsystem 204.For example, if live in the building, the building management person just can send information by public building LAN208.Same building thing supvr also can utilize wiring or the Internet server supplier (ISP) 209 of BOM interface 200 by dialing modem 210 to send information from remote location to system.In each case, the building management person will define link information simply in BOMGUI202, and information storage is got up, and select suitable connection subsequently when the information of transmission.BOMGUI202 automatically sets up this connection, transmission information and disconnect connection after the information transmission finishes.The building subsystem
As top in conjunction with the accompanying drawings 9 described, BOM interface 200 utilizes a BOM display list parser analysis BOM display list, the mode of analysis is so that to analyze the mode that building display lists 68 adopt similar to display list routine analyzer 110.Specifically, display list routine analyzer 110 conversion BOM display lists 220 are set up the local reference that is used for advertisement or " in real time " content.
The structure of BOM interface 200 also can make building owner and building management person set up and transmission information to one or more concrete elevator display units 10 by building server 28 and building LAN30.This alerting ability is particularly useful, and for example, the elevator passenger that can be used in an elevator out of service provides indication.Therefore, the building management person can keep in communication with the passenger in the stoppage in transit elevator, and can not startle the passenger in other elevator.
In certain embodiments, the BOM interface with combine described making center/wan interface 90 collaborative works of Fig. 9 in the above.Display list analysis/design
With reference to Figure 15, in the case, the local building display list analytic function of building server 28 must be changed, and comes from the information of the display list that is collected by making center 20 and the information of BOM display list 220 with reception.
As top in conjunction with the accompanying drawings 9 described, under the situation that lacks the BOM interface, the operation of display list routine analyzer 110 will be mapped to the building data bank to URLs again.When adding the BOM interface, display list routine analyzer 222 must be carried out mapping and interlace operation again.
With reference to Figure 16,, can make display list routine analyzer 222 initialization (230) by upgrading making center (PC) building display list 68 or BOM display list (232).If two display lists also all do not have to upgrade, routine analyzer 222 will be waited for one section preset time, carries out the variation of inquiry judging display list update mode subsequently.On the other hand, if two display lists all upgrade, whether routine analyzer 222 is just inquired about subsequently is that PC display list 68 has upgraded (234).The basic version of the local building display list 114 of PC building display list 68 representatives.That is to say that local building display list 114 comes from the initial point of setting up from PC building display list 68.If PC building display list has been updated, routine analyzer 222 is just carried out as above the mapping again with reference to the described URL of Fig. 9, routine analyzer 222 is carried out for the second time and is sent, and the information of BOM display list 220 is intersected put into the PC building display list 68 (238) of renewal.
In Another Application, BOM interface 200 is used alone as parts with its resident family's communication by the building management person, and need not any mutual action be arranged with the making center.In these are used, there is not the PC display list in BOM display list infall inside.Therefore, with reference to Figure 16, display list routine analyzer 222 can judge simply whether the BOM display list has been updated (232), and generates local building display list 114 from BOM display list 220 separately.
The purpose of interleaving function be exactly at the appointed time the cycle utilize one successively on-cycle priority scheme per minute insert a building management person information of setting quantity.The information content that per minute inserts can be designed to from 0 to all available gaps.Certainly, before insertion information, routine analyzer 222 will verify whether current time and data fall in the scope of start-stop day of information and time cycle parameter.
One embodiment will help the mode of operation of specification analyzer 222, and the person has set up and downloaded the BOM display list shown in Figure 14 by BOMGUI (202) to suppose the building management.If the current date is on June 12nd, 98, and the gap of per minute is 1, and routine analyzer just produces local display list 114 as shown in Figure 17.
Notice that in bom_message1.htm and bom_message2.htm intersection are put into PC display list 68 period in the morning, also notice the form change with " circulation successively " of these information the period in the morning in.In LT, PM and SLP time period, only show bom_message2.htm.At this moment the section, this information per minute all can occur.Information storage/transmission
With top different in conjunction with the described making central aisle that is used for content compilation of Figure 10, the page of being set up by BOMGUI202 does not need to utilize the building subsystem to upgrade.But, the automatic assembly that the composition of this page advertisement will be in building.
With reference to Figure 18, BOMGUI202 is stored into BOM message memory 240 to message file.When showing that assembler program 122 is explained local building display list, it also can inquire about all building informations in the BOM message memory.Define by display list with information-related advertisement, and before being transported to display server 124, by showing assembler program 122 insertions.
In an embodiment, building subsystem and making center 20 interfaces, dialing modem generally is used to connect.In order to increase the function of BOM interface, system 1 can dispose a network interface card, makes it the mutual action with private buildings thing LAN30.If the physical connection of BOM interface is by dialing modem 210 and ISP209, single modem interface is just enough.By at BOMGUI202 and the center of making operating software, can finish aforesaid operations.The making center is carried out and is reattempted, and makes the data multiplication.The result has reduced hardware device.The safety of BOM interface
BOM interface 200 is the passages that directly enter information system 1.Therefore, the safety that is used for this interface is very important, can guarantee that inappropriate and uncommitted application is not allowed to.The step of system safety can be carried out three layers, i.e. BOMGUI password protection, safety connection and the password/visit that is located on the building subsystem are protected.Before the invoke user interface, BOMGUI202 carries out a user name and password checking process.Password and user name are encrypted and are stored in the protected file, only have the individual talent of top privilege to be allowed to manage these information.In the physical connection aspect, tunnel name and dialing feature are encrypted, only have the people who is authorized to visit.At last, building subsystem 204 provides two-layer protection.At first, can guarantee that like this security monitor of system 1 is known the user that all are licensed to the Information Authentication the user name and password of each Request System.Secondly, BOM information remains on the independent sector on the building server 28.Can guarantee so not to be prohibited from entering other function with system independence by the user of system authorization.These three kinds of approach all can make the extremely difficult system that enters of any undelegated user.
The embodiment that also comprises other in the claims.
