Description

Be used for method and system to a plurality of user's distributing internet informations
The present invention relates to be used for the method and system that the while releases news to a plurality of user base station.Be specifically related to carry out the wireless transmission of information to a plurality of receivers, so that user's storage and visit from a broadcasting station.
Along with the appearance of internet and World Wide Web (WWW), a lot of users can obtain information by the internet.Though utilize so-called website to improve the availability of information, because limited data throughout and transfer rate on the standard phone line makes the download of information and visit become time-consuming process.
The conventional modulation technique of using is lower ambient noise threshold value victim signal data in telecommunications industry, and is maintained fixed the relative higher data transfer rate on the bandwidth channel simultaneously.The example of this advanced modulation technology has, GMSK (Guassian Minimum Shift Keying) (GMSK), the heterogeneous modulation of quadrature (QPM) and galaxy modulation (GM).But, the technological progress in the electronic applications and along with and the component size of coming and the reduction of cost have made these modulation techniques realize in broadcast system.
As a rule, the user of information network need buy modulator-demodulator and every month and pays one's subscription to ISP (ISP).User after the paying has the right dial-up access in an ISP who has point (POP), the licensed subsequently information superhighway that enters.
Studies show that some registered in advance website is more frequently more welcome and accessed with respect to other website.And the purpose of these welcome websites of frequent access is to obtain information such as stock price, news, weather, rather than merely for amusement.
Login ISP and be licensed for access to the website subsequently, and expend time in very much usually with dull from the process of website download message.In addition, most of users are in the operating time access the Internet, and the most expensive time of telephone charges just at that time.
The internet is normally utilizing transmission information in " drawing " system of dial-up connection.Because the restriction of communication network, current " pushing away " system does not allow bulk information is offered a plurality of users.
Make the user can ask the service provider to send a large amount of information with the current dial-up connection of internet, to avoid tediously long download time.But this transmission must be asked by the user, and according to each request this information is sent to the specific user independently by the service provider.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of system and method, be used for broadcasting bulk information simultaneously to a plurality of receivers, and at the user base station download message, thereby alleviate the shortcoming of above-mentioned known system at least by radio wave.
In addition, an object of the present invention is can realize or the system of convenient following one or more functions for the user provides a kind of:
The product delivery system-it is by internet or other mode order to sending based on the product of data such as software, and wherein this product need not time-consuming and expensive internet and downloads and can easily send.The sale of music CD is the well application of the present invention as the product delivery system;
The arrival of mail carrying notice-prompting user new mail.Though Email remains the fastest communications platform, most of people use the telephone system of non-special use, consequently check mailbox in the mode of being interrupted.Have only those ISP users that have expensive special digital connection can after new mail sends several seconds, just obtain notice.The present invention can be when send Email the broadcast delivery notice, make the user can sign in to the internet and when their mail reaches, read;
Download-transmit information to user base station from webpage.Though the internet provides the free product downloaded resources that does not stop to the user, speed and relevant cost are still an obstacle.The invention enables and to send institute's information requested with low cost to a plurality of user base station, download and need not dull and expensive internet;
Business information-utilize subscribed services receives the renewal such as the business information of share price, the exchange rate etc.Similar system has been arranged, but it also is only effective to those people that have special-purpose connection in telecommunication system;
In the application aspect community and the crime strick precaution also is unconfined-timely transmission such as stolen credit card inventory, and information such as stolen vehicle, Missing Persons are used for discerning swindle and fighting crime; With
Internet content is delivered to backwardness or the rural area that does not have telecommunication system and equipment.
According to a first aspect of the invention, a kind of system is provided, it is convenient to transmit information simultaneously and is used for later taking-up in this information of user base station reception, demodulation, download and storage to a plurality of user base station by cordless communication network, and this system comprises: at least one content supplier; At least one service provider; Transmission infrastructure; A plurality of user base station have the receiver of being made up of in conjunction with receiving card antenna; The modulator-demodulator that is used for the demodulation broadcast singal; The processing unit that is used for the later message reference of stored information and permission.
This system can comprise the device of managing one or more changeable channels, by starting and/or closing the customizing messages channel and can optionally broadcast above-mentioned channel to certain user's subclass.
The information signal that is transmitted can comprise and be used to the device of encoding or encrypting that respective receiver comprises and being used at the device of user base station to signal decoding or deciphering.
Can provide cryptographic algorithm for the device that is used to encode and encrypt, this cryptographic algorithm is the function of user's particular identification code intrinsic in the receiver and card, can also be further pay the key that obtains after the required channel subscription expense, guarantee only to have the payment user could be decrypted signal for it provides.
Receiver can have as the coupled antenna of the part of computer module, and perhaps, antenna can be the separate unit that can connect demonstration and processing unit.
This system can comprise the device that is used for the compressed information signal, and user base station can comprise the device that is used for behind download message its decompression.
This system can use for example existing transmission infrastructure of wireless provider use.
According to a second aspect of the invention, a kind of method is provided, it is convenient to transmit information by cordless communication network simultaneously to a plurality of user base station, with be used for later taking-up in this information of user base station reception, demodulation, download and storage, this method may further comprise the steps: from least one content supplier's acquisition of information; With information categorization be grouped into channel; Producing modulating information signal is used for transmitting; Information signal by wireless-transmission network broadcasting modulation; Receive the information signal that sends in user base station by suitably tuning receiver; The information signal that demodulation received; Be used for later taking-up with this information of storage.
This method comprises with upgrading the step that version refreshes stored information automatically.
The step of modulating information signal can realize by use one or more modulation techniques of selecting from the group that following modulation technique is formed: GMSK (Guassian Minimum Shift Keying) (GMSK), the heterogeneous modulation of quadrature (QPM) and galaxy modulation (GM).
The step of modulating information signal can comprise the facility redundancy check guaranteeing that received signal is accurately, and makes it possible to rebuild ruined signal at receiver.
