Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Steuerung einer Wiedergabeeinrichtung für ortsabhängige Informationen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for controlling a playback device for location-dependent information according to the preamble of claim 1.
Aus der Prospekt-Druckschrift "Bosch-Travelpilot - und Sie wissen immer wo′s langgeht" der Robert Bosch GmbH ist ein als "Travelpilot" bezeichnetes Gerät bekannt, das eine autonome, mit Koppelortung arbeitende Navigationseinrichtung, gespeicherte Straßenpläne sowie einen Navigationsrechner umfaßt, der auf einem Monitor einen Straßenplan ausführt,der die Umgebung des eigenen Standortes darstellt. Bei Fortbewegung des Fahrzeugs wandert der Straßenplanausschnitt mit. Wird der Travelpilot mit der Zielinformation versorgt, werden zusätzlich Hinweise über empfohlene Fahrtrichtungen eingeblendet.From the brochure "Bosch Travelpilot - and you always know where it's going" from Robert Bosch GmbH, a device known as "Travelpilot" is known which comprises an autonomous navigation device working with a coupling, stored road maps and a navigation computer which executes a street map on a monitor that shows the surroundings of one's own location. When the vehicle is moving, the street map section moves with it. Becomes the travel pilot provided with the destination information, additional information about recommended directions of travel is displayed.
Während der Travelpilot speziell zur Information des Fahrers vorgesehen ist, kann es z.B. in öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln auch erwünscht sein, die Fahrgäste mit Informationen, wie Haltestellenansagen, Umsteigemöglichkeiten oder Informationen über Sehenswürdigkeiten zu versorgen. Dies war bisher auch schon durch individuelle Ansagen des Fahrers oder eines Reisebegleiters sowie durch manuelles Steuern eines Tonbandgerätes möglich. Allerdings sind derartige Lösungen unbefriedigend, da sie beim Fahrer oder Reisebegleiter eine genaue Kenntnis der Fahrstrecke und die Bereitschaft zur Weitergabe der Information voraussetzen. Selbst im Linienverkehr kann man diese Kenntnis nicht immer erwarten, wenn Fahrer z.B. vertretungsweise andere als die gewohnten Linien fahren müssen.While the Travelpilot is specifically designed to inform the driver, it can e.g. In public transport, it may also be desirable to provide passengers with information such as stop announcements, transfer options or information about sights. So far, this has also been possible through individual announcements by the driver or a travel companion and by manual control of a tape recorder. However, such solutions are unsatisfactory because they require the driver or travel companion to have precise knowledge of the route and the willingness to pass on the information. This knowledge cannot always be expected even in regular traffic if drivers e.g. representatively have to drive other than the usual lines.
Informationen vom Tonband setzen die fahrstreckensynchrone Betätigung voraus und können bei Änderungen der Fahrstrecke, wie sie z.B. bei Umleitungen erforderlich werden, fehlerhaft sein. Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Auf gabe zugrunde, die Voraussetzungen für eine automatische, ortsabhängige Steuerung einer Wiedergabeeinrichtung für ortsabhängige, ausgewählte Informationen zu schaffen.Information from the tape requires operation synchronized with the route and may be incorrect if the route changes, such as is required for detours. Starting from this prior art, the invention is based on was based on creating the conditions for automatic, location-dependent control of a playback device for location-dependent, selected information.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Verfahren durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved in a method specified in the preamble of claim 1 by the features of claim 1.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren werden den ausgewählten Informationen bestimmte Auslösepunkte zugeordnet, die z.B. als Ortskoordinaten im Straßenplan angeordnet und mit diesem gespeichert werden. Passiert das Fahrzeug nun eine Stelle, an der sich ein solcher Auslösepunkt befindet, so wird dieses Ereignis von dem Steuergerät durch Vergleich der navigatorisch erfaßten Daten mit den gespeicherten Daten erkannt und gemeldet. Die Meldung erfolgt in Form eines Auslösesignals, das sich zur Wiedergabe der entsprechenden ortsabhängigen ausgewählten Informationen eignet.In the method according to the invention, certain trigger points are assigned to the selected information, e.g. Arranged as location coordinates in the street map and saved with it. If the vehicle now passes a point at which such a trigger point is located, this event is recognized and reported by the control unit by comparing the data acquired by navigation with the stored data. The message takes the form of a trigger signal that is suitable for displaying the corresponding location-dependent, selected information.
Die Sicherheit der richtigen örtlichen Zuordnung des Auslösesignals sowie der von diesem aufgerufenen Informationen wird so verbessert. Bei Anwendung in Linienbussen zur Haltestellenansage z.B. wird der Fahrer entlastet und kann sich besser auf das Verkehrsgeschehen konzentrieren. Irrtümer sowie aus Bequemlichkeit oder Unkenntnis unterlassene Ansagen lassen sich so vermeiden.This improves the security of the correct local assignment of the trigger signal and the information it calls up. When used in Scheduled buses for announcing stops, for example, relieve the driver and can concentrate better on the traffic situation. Errors and announcements made for convenience or ignorance can thus be avoided.
Die Erfindung betrifft ferner eine Vorrichtung zur Steuerung einer Wiedergabeeinrichtung für ortsabhängige Informationen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 7.The invention further relates to a device for controlling a playback device for location-dependent information according to the preamble of claim 7.
Die eingangs genannte Aufgabe, nämlich die Voraussetzungen für eine automatische, ortsabhängige Steuerung einer Wiedergabeeinrichtung für ortsabhängige, ausgewählte Informationen zu schaffen, wird bei einer im Oberbegriff des Anspruch 7 angegebenen Vorrichtung durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 7 gelöst.The above-mentioned object, namely to create the prerequisites for automatic, location-dependent control of a playback device for location-dependent, selected information, is achieved in a device specified in the preamble of claim 7 by the features of claim 7.
Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sowie der Vorrichtung ergeben sich aus den Ansprüchen 2 - 6 bzw. 8 - 12.Further developments of the method according to the invention and of the device result from claims 2-6 and 8-12.
Verfahren und Vorrichtung werden nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung erläutert, die in der Figur ein Block schaltbild der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung veranschaulicht.The method and device are explained below with reference to the drawing, which is a block in the figure circuit diagram of the device according to the invention illustrated.
Die Vorrichtung umfaßt eine Wiedergabeeinrichtung 10 für ortsabhängige Informationen, eine Navigationseinrichtung 12, einen Speicher 14 für einen Straßenplan sowie ein Steuergerät 16. Wiedergabeeinrichtung 10, Navigationseinrichtung 12 und Speicher 14 sind mit dem Steuergerät 16 verbunden. Der Speicher 14 umfaßt noch einen weiteren Speicherbereich 18, der in Unterbereiche 20, 22 und 24 aufgeteilt ist. Ferner sind mit dem Steuergerät 16 noch ein Eingabegerät 26 sowie ein Datenempfänger 28 verbunden. Die dargestellte Vorrichtung dient dazu, eine Wiedergabeeinrichtung in einem Fahrzeug zur Ausgabe ausgewählter ortsabhängiger Informationen zu veranlassen, wenn bestimmte Auslösepunkte in einem Straßenplan passiert werden. Dies soll am Beispiel einer automatischen Ansage der nächstfolgenden Haltestelle bei einem Linienbus erläutert werden.The device comprises a
In einem Speicher 14 ist der gesamte Straßenplan eines größeren Gebietes, z.B. einer oder mehrerer Städte sowie des Umlandes gespeichert. Der zur Darstellung der Koordinaten eines solchen Straßen planes in codierter Form vorliegende Datenumfang läßt sich auf z.B. einer oder mehreren CD-Rom unterbringen. Neben dem Speicher 14 für den Straßenplan gibt es noch einen weiteren Speicherbereich 18 für Auslösepunkte. Dies sind im vorliegenden Fall Ortspunkte, die sich auf der Fahrstrecke des Linienbusses vor den Haltestellen befinden.The entire road map of a larger area, for example one or more cities and the surrounding area, is stored in a
Da es in einer Großstadt eine Vielzahl von Linien gibt, die sich teilweise überschneiden, sind die einer Linie zugeordneten Auslösepunkte jeweils in einem der Unterbereiche 20, 22 oder 24 dargestellt. Die Anzahl der Unterbereiche ist natürlich nicht auf die dargestellten Drei begrenzt, vielmehr ist es zweckmäßig soviele Unterbereiche vorzusehen, wie unterschiedliche Gruppen von Auslösepunkten vorhanden sind.Since there are a large number of lines in a large city that partially overlap, the trigger points assigned to a line are each shown in one of the
Während der Fahrt des Busses wird die Fahrtrichtung sowie der jeweilige Standort automatisch durch die Navigationseinrichtung 12 ermittelt. Diese gewinnt z.B. über Radsensoren sowie einen Kompaß Weg- und Richtungsinformationen, welche zu einer Koppelnavigation zusammengeführt werden.While the bus is traveling, the direction of travel and the respective location are automatically determined by the
Das Steuergerät 16 verarbeitet sowohl die von der Navigationseinrichtung 12 als auch vom Speicher 14 sowie im Speicherbereich 18 zugeführten Daten und ermittelt durch Vergleich die Fahrtrichtung und den aktuellen Standort innerhalb des Straßenplans. Dabei lassen sich eventuelle Ungenauigkeiten der Navigationseinrichtung 12 in markanten Bereichen des Straßenplans, z.B. Kurven oder Kreuzungen korrigieren, so daß die von der Navigationseinrichtung 12 gelieferten Daten langzeitstabil sind.The
Wird der Linienbus für eine bestimmte Linie eingesetzt, so wird über die Eingabeinrichtung 26 die Liniennummer eingegeben, worauf die dieser Linie zugeordnete Gruppe von Auslösepunkten aus einem der Unterbereiche 20, 22 oder 24 selektiert wird. Bei Abfahren der Fahrstrecke, die dieser Linie zugeordnet ist, werden dann nur diese Auslösepunkte berücksichtigt.If the line bus is used for a specific line, the line number is entered via the
Da die Streckenführungen der Linien gelegentlich, z.B. zur Umfahrung von Baustellen geändert werden müssen, ist vorgesehen, die Lage der Auslösepunkte zu aktualisieren. Dies geschieht hier durch Datenübertragung mittels einer Empfangseinrichtung 28, indem von der Zentrale der Verkehrsbetriebe aktuelle Daten der Auslösepunkte den Empfangseinrichtungen 28 der Vorrichtungen in den Linienbussen übermittelt werden und in die entsprechenden Speicherbereiche 18 eingeschrieben werden. Bei diesen Speicherbereichen muß es sich somit um überschreibbare Speicher handeln.Since the routes of the lines have to be changed occasionally, e.g. to bypass construction sites, it is planned to update the location of the trigger points. This is done here by data transmission using a receiving
Die Aktualisierung der Daten kann in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen, z.B. bei Betriebsbeginn, bei Änderungen der Routenführungen oder bedarfsweise erfolgen, wenn ein Linienfahrzeug für eine andere als die bisherige Linie eingesetzt werden soll und der Fahrer zu diesem Zweck die neue Linie über die Eingaberichtung 26 eingibt. Die Datenübertragung kann dann im Dialog mit der Zentrale stattfinden.The data can be updated at regular intervals, e.g. at the start of operation, changes in route guidance or, if necessary, when a line vehicle is to be used for a line other than the previous line and the driver enters the new line for this purpose via the
Werden beim Durchfahren der Fahrstrecke nun die einzelnen Auslösepunkte vor den Haltestellen passiert, so erkennt das Steuergerät 16 durch Vergleich der Daten aus der Navigationseinrichtung 12 und dem Speicherbereich 18 dieses Ereignis und gibt ein Auslösesignal an die Wiedergabeeinrichtung 10 ab. Es kann sich hierbei um ein gleichbleibendes Auslösesignal handeln, das in der Wiedergabeeinrichtung 10 jeweils eine Ansagenfolge weiterschaltet, es kann sich jedoch auch um ein codiertes Auslösesignal handeln das abhängig von den Auslösepunkten jeweils eine spezielle Information aufruft.If the individual trigger points are passed in front of the stops when driving through the route, the
Die Haltestellenansagen lassen sich auch noch durch Hinweise auf Umsteigemöglichkeiten ergänzen. Darüberhinaus besteht die Möglichkeit, bei Linien, die häufig von Touristen benutzt werden, Touristeninformationen und Hinweise auf an der Fahrstrecke gelegene Sehenswürdigkeiten zu geben. Auch kommerzielle Informationen, wie Werbespots von Geschäften, die neben der Fahrtroute liegen sind realisierbar.The station announcements can also be supplemented by information on transfer options. It is also possible to provide tourist information and information on places of interest along the route on lines that are frequently used by tourists. Commercial information, such as commercials of shops that are located next to the route, can also be realized.
Alle diese aufgezählten Informationen werden automatisch an genau der Stelle der Fahrtroute ausgegeben, die durch die Auswahl und Festlegung der Auslösepunkte vorgegeben ist. Dadurch ist die Information sehr zuverlässig und besonders für ortsunkundige Fahrgäste hilfreich. Die Nachteile individueller Informationen wie undeutliches Sprechen, Irrtümer oder gar Unterlassen einer Ansage aus Unkenntnis oder Bequemlichkeit werden so vermieden.All this listed information is automatically output at the exact point on the route that is specified by the selection and definition of the trigger points. This makes the information very reliable and especially helpful for passengers who are unfamiliar with the area. The disadvantages of individual information such as indistinct speech, errors or even failure to make an announcement out of ignorance or convenience are avoided.
Eine besonders für Fahrzeuge im Linienverkehr vor teilhafte Weiterbildung sieht vor, daß die Daten der Auslösepunkte mittels des Steuergerätes veränderbar sind. So ist es z.B. zweckmäßig, in verkehrsarmen Zeiten den Auslösepunkt vorzuverlegen, damit die Fahrgäste genügend Zeit haben, sich zum Aussteigen vorzubereiten. In Verkehrsspitzenzeiten hingegen, in denen eine Haltestelle wegen zähfließendem Verkehr erst mit Verzögerungen erreichbar ist, kann dagegen der Auslösepunkt unmittelbar vor die Haltestelle gelegt werden. Die Steuerung kann dabei durch Empfangseinrichtungen erfolgen, die Informationen über die Verkehrsdichte oder auch die Tageszeit von der Zentrale der Verkehrsbetriebe erhalten. Darüberhinaus besteht noch die Möglichkeit, die Lage der Auslösepunkte in Abhängigkeit der Kapazitätsauslastung des Fahrzeugs zu verändern, um die Fahrgäste so rechtzeitig auf die nächste Haltestelle hinzuweisen, daß auch die von den Ausgängen weiter entfernt stehenden noch rechtzeitig zu den Türen gelangen können, bis die Haltestelle erreicht ist.One especially for vehicles in regular service partial development provides that the data of the trigger points can be changed by means of the control device. For example, it is useful to move the trigger point forward in times of low traffic so that passengers have enough time to prepare to get out. On the other hand, during peak traffic periods, when a stop can only be reached with delays due to slow-moving traffic, the trigger point can be placed directly in front of the stop. The control can be done by receiving devices that receive information about the traffic density or the time of day from the central office of the transport company. In addition, there is the possibility of changing the position of the trigger points depending on the capacity utilization of the vehicle in order to notify the passengers in good time of the next stop so that those further away from the exits can still get to the doors in time until the stop is reached.
Neben einer Sprachausgabe kann die Wiedergabeeinrichtung 10 auch so ausgestaltet sein, daß ein Umgebungsplan der Haltestelle optisch dargestellt wird, um den Fahr gästen eine bessere Orientierung zu ermöglichen.In addition to a voice output, the
Neben dem beschriebenen Anwendungsbeispiel der Vorrichtung für Fahrzeuge im Linienverkehr bietet sich die Vorrichtung auch an, Touristen bei Stadtrundfahrten allgemeine Informationen sowie vor oder beim Passieren von besonderen Sehenswürdigkeiten auf diese hinzuweisen. Weitere Anwendungen bestehen im Güter- und auch Privatverkehr, um die Fahrer auf besondere Verkehrsvorschriften oder Gefahrenstellen aufmerksam zu machen.In addition to the described application example of the device for vehicles in regular service, the device also lends itself to pointing out general information to tourists during city tours and before or when passing special sights. There are further applications in freight and private transport to draw the driver's attention to special traffic regulations or danger spots.
Bei einer abgewandelten Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung ist die Wiedergabeeinrichtung 10 als Fahrzeugrundfunkempfänger ausgebildet, der einen Senderidentifikationsspeicher umfaßt. Durch das Auslösesignal kann eine die den Speicher enthaltende ortsspezifische Sendertabelle selektiert werden, wobei die Standortkoordinaten zur Entscheidung über den korrekten Sender herangezogen werden. Das Auslösesignal ist hier nicht ein gespeicherter Ort, sondern eine kontinuierliche Folge von Koordinaten. Dadurch läßt sich die Senderidentifikation in einem Gebiet, in denen die zur Verfügung stehenden Frequenzen mehrfach belegt sind, verbessern.In a modified embodiment of the device, the
