Abstract

The travel guide, e.g. a town guide, travel guide for given regions and countries, eating - and hotel-guide, disco guide or museum guide, has tourist information outputted with the aid of an automatic procedure for providing absolute positional information (e.g. via a GPS and APS (auto-pilot-system) in the vicinity of the location, via a speech or music output device. A CD-ROM is used for storing information, country maps, street maps and town layouts as well as tourist information.

Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die aktuelle Standortbestimmung von bewegten Objekten (Kraftfahrzeugen) kann mit Hilfe von Navigationssatelliten erfolgen, die dauernd GPS-Signale (GPS = Global positioning system) aussenden. Diese werden von Satellitenantennen empfangen und vom GPS-Empfänger ausgewertet. Als Positionsdaten werden sie in einem Display angezeigt. Die Messung der Entfernung zu mindestens vier Satelliten ermöglicht die Bestimmung der benötigten Raumkoordinaten des Fahrzeugs mit einer Genauigkeit von 100 bis 200 m. In der Stadt sind diese Angaben zur Lagebestimmung jedoch nicht ausreichend. Hinzu kommt die Schwierigkeit, in Straßenschluchten die benötigten vier Satelliten nicht immer empfangen zu können.The current location of moving objects (motor vehicles) can be determined using Navigation satellites take place that continuously transmit GPS signals (GPS = Global positioning system). These are received by satellite antennas and evaluated by the GPS receiver. As Position data is shown on a display. Measuring the distance to at least four Satellite enables the required spatial coordinates of the vehicle to be determined with a Accuracy from 100 to 200 m. In the city, however, this information is not used to determine the situation sufficient. Added to this is the difficulty in not having the four satellites required in street canyons to always be able to receive.

Gemäß dem Stand der Technik können die angezeigten Fehlerwerte durch einen Referenz-GPS- Empfänger, dessen Lage bekannt ist, bis zu einer Genauigkeit von etwa 3-5 m korrigiert werden. Die Datenübertragung geschieht durch Rundfunk (RDS-Empfänger).According to the prior art, the displayed error values can be determined by a reference GPS Receiver whose position is known to be corrected to an accuracy of about 3-5 m. The Data transmission is done by radio (RDS receiver).

Eine weitere Möglichkeit, die Genauigkeit der Messung zu erhöhen, gibt es mittels Vergleich mit einer digitalisierten Straßenkarte. Hierbei werden die empfangenen GPS-Lagedaten mit der auf CD-ROM gespeicherten Straßenkarte verglichen und an den GPS-Empfänger zurückgeleitet, der die berichtigten Positionsdaten anzeigt.Another way to increase the accuracy of the measurement is to compare it with a digitized road map. Here, the GPS location data received with the on CD-ROM stored road map compared and returned to the GPS receiver, which corrected the Displays position data.

Nach dem Stand der Technik ist es ferner möglich, Kartenmaterial mit unterschiedlichen Maßstäben mit dem GPS-Empfänger zu korrelieren, so daß bei Bedarf - etwa in stadtischen Ballungsräumen - Karten mit größerer Auflösung vorliegen.According to the prior art, it is also possible to use map material with different scales correlate with the GPS receiver so that when necessary - for example in urban areas - Maps with a higher resolution are available.

In Kürze kommen Navigationsgeräte in Kraftfahrzeugen auf den Markt, die im Rahmen eines Verkehrsleitsystem benutzt werden. Dieses Auto-Pilot-System (APS) kann dem Fahrer eine optimale, zeitsparende Route ausrechnen und ihn zu seinem gewünschten Ziel lotsen. Auf einem Display wird ein Richtungspfeil für die nächste Straßenkreuzung oder -gabelung angezeigt und eine Computerstimme gibt Anweisungen, wann man demnächst abbiegen soll. Gekoppelt ist das Bedienungsteil (Display) mit dem Stereo-Autoradio mit Rundfunk-Daten-Signal-Empfänger und CD-Wiedergabe.Navigation devices in motor vehicles will soon come onto the market as part of a Traffic management system can be used. This auto-pilot system (APS) can provide the driver with optimal, calculate the time-saving route and guide him to his desired destination. A appears on a display Directional arrow for the next intersection or fork and a computer voice gives instructions on when to turn soon. The operating part (display) is coupled with the stereo car radio with radio data signal receiver and CD playback.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Die Aufgabe dieser Erfindung besteht darin, einen ortsgesteuerten Reiseführer zu ermöglichen, der aus einer CD-ROM und einem Begleitbuch besteht und dessen Sprachausgabe automatisch betätigt wird, sobald man sich bestimmten Sehenswürdigkeiten nähert. Zudem soll eine Datenbank mit touristischen Informationen zur Verfügung gestellt werden, die einen schnellen Zugriff zu gewünschten Daten (etwa Hotels, Restaurants, Discos, Notdienste, Museen, Freizeiteinrichtungen und ähnliches) ermöglicht.The object of this invention is to enable a location-controlled travel guide that consists of a CD-ROM and an accompanying book and the voice output is activated automatically, as soon as you approach certain sights. In addition, a database with tourist Information is provided that provides quick access to desired data (such as Hotels, restaurants, discos, emergency services, museums, leisure facilities and the like).

Da die technischen Einrichtungen (GPS-Systeme, mobile CD-ROM-Laufwerke, Sprach- und Musikausgabe) bereits bestehen und Firmen APS-Produkte zur Navigation von Kraftfahrzeugen bereits anbieten, muß nur noch die entsprechende CD-ROM mit einem Begleitbuch ausgearbeitet werden. Zugrunde liegt somit eine bestehende CD-ROM mit digitalisierter Straßenkarte, die um touristische Informationen erweitert wird. Zum einen benötigt die Straßenkarte viel Speicherplatz, zum anderen erfordern die gewünschten touristischen Informationen, also die Sounddatei mit gesprochenem Wort und Musiksequenzen, zusätzlichen Speicherplatz. Eine Möglichkeit zur Reduzierung des benötigten Speicherplatzes besteht durch die Verwendung von reduzierten Land- und Straßenkarten, die sich auf die touristisch interessanten Routen beschränken. As the technical facilities (GPS systems, mobile CD-ROM drives, voice and Music edition) already exist and companies already have APS products for navigating motor vehicles offer, only the corresponding CD-ROM must be prepared with an accompanying book. This is based on an existing CD-ROM with digitized road map, which is about tourist Information is expanded. On the one hand, the street map requires a lot of storage space, on the other hand require the desired tourist information, i.e. the sound file with spoken word and Music sequences, additional storage space. One way to reduce the need Storage space exists through the use of reduced land and road maps that focus on restrict the tourist routes of interest.  

Die Sprach- und Musikausgabe schaltet sich dann ein, sobald man sich in einer bestimmten Position befindet, also in der Nähe einer Sehenswürdigkeit (z. B. Museum, Kirche, Schloß). Auslöser sind die aktuellen Raumkoordinaten, die z. B. ein GPS-Empfänger oder das APS-System ermittelt. Es können somit gezielt Datenspeicher mit Sprach- und Musiksequenzen während der Fahrt automatisch ausgelöst werden. Die Sprach- oder Musikausgabe erfolgt über das Auto-Pilot-System oder über ein Sondergerät. Da das Kartenmaterial mit unterschiedlichem Maßstab auf die CD gespeichert ist, können touristisch relevante Städte und Regionen mit größerer Auflösung verwendet werden. Als Zusatzfunktion wird eine Datenbank angelegt, die eine beliebige Abfrage touristischer Informationen ermöglicht: z. B. Restaurants und Hotels unterschiedlicher Kategorien, Freizeiteinrichtungen, Museen verschiedener Ausrichtung usw.The voice and music output then turns on as soon as you are in a certain position located, i.e. close to a place of interest (e.g. museum, church, castle). They are the trigger current spatial coordinates, e.g. B. determines a GPS receiver or the APS system. It can targeted data storage with voice and music sequences is triggered automatically while driving will. The voice or music is output via the auto pilot system or a special device. Since the map material is stored on the CD with different scales, it can be touristy relevant cities and regions can be used with higher resolution. As an additional function created a database that enables any query of tourist information: z. B. Restaurants and hotels of different categories, leisure facilities, museums of different Alignment etc.

Gleichzeitig meldet die Sprachausgabe: Bei der nächsten Straßenkreuzung fahren Sie bitte geradeaus/rechts/links (Verkehrsleitsysteme von Bosch, Philips, Nissan, Sony).While driving (B), the system shows directional arrows on the display: ↑ (drive straight ahead) or → or ← (drive right / left). At the same time, the voice prompts: At the At the next intersection please drive straight / right / left (traffic control systems from Bosch, Philips, Nissan, Sony).

Sobald man in die Nähe einer prägnanten Sehenswürdigkeit (C) kommt, etwa der Stuttgarter Staatsgalerie, meldet die Sprachausgabe: Sie befinden sich an der berühmten Stuttgarter Staatsgalerie mit dem postmodernen Erweiterungsbau von James Stirling. Es folgen Erläuterungen zu diesem architektonischen Glanzstück und seinen Exponaten. Die Fahrt kann bei Belieben unterbrochen werden. Ruft man etwa ein Restaurant der gewünschten Kategorie in der Datenbank auf, wird die Sprachausgabe eingeschaltet, sobald sich das Fahrzeug dem Punkt D nähert: Zu Ihrer Linken befindet sich ein Restaurant für den Feinschmecker, das vor allem für seine . . . berühmt ist (kulinarische Empfehlung und Preisbeispiel).As soon as you come close to a striking sight (C), such as the Stuttgart one State Gallery, announces the voice output: You are at the famous Stuttgart State Gallery with James Stirling's postmodern extension. Explanations to this follow architectural gem and its exhibits. The journey can be interrupted at will. If you call up a restaurant of the desired category in the database, for example Voice output switched on as soon as the vehicle approaches point D: is on your left a restaurant for the gourmet, especially for his. . . is famous (culinary Recommendation and price example).

Kommt man etwa an einer Baustelle (E) vorbei, meldet sich das System: Achtung Baustelle, Straße ist gesperrt. Die Information für eine gezielte Verkehrsumleitung erhält das APS-System entweder über Rundfunk oder durch stationäre Datenübertragungseinrichtungen, z. B. an Ampelanlagen.If you pass a construction site (E), for example, the system reports: Caution, construction site, street is blocked. The APS system receives the information for a targeted traffic diversion either via Broadcasting or through stationary data transmission facilities, e.g. B. at traffic lights.

Ausführungsbeispiel in Kombination mit einem tragbaren Gerät.Embodiment in combination with a portable device.

Ein ortsgesteuerter Reiseführer kann ebenso in Stand-alone-Systemen betrieben werden, die unabhängig von Kraftfahrzeugen betrieben werden. Diese sind derzeit noch nicht am Markt erhältlich. Sie könnten wie folgt aussehen: Ein tragbares System bestehend aus GPS-Empfänger, einem CD-ROM-Lautwerk und einem Gerät zur Sprach- und Musikausgabe. Ähnlich wie ein Walkman können die touristischen Informationen bei Reisen zu Fuß, in der Bann etc. abgerufen werden.A location-controlled travel guide can also be operated in stand-alone systems that are independent operated by motor vehicles. These are currently not available on the market. You could look like this: A portable system consisting of GPS receiver, a CD-ROM volume and a device for voice and music output. Much like a walkman, the tourist can Information when traveling on foot, in the spell, etc.
