Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control unit for a radio receiver, which in the Radio data system (RDS) encoded in its traffic message channel (TMC) receives and decodes transmitted information with an information key to get information.
  • RDS Radio data system
  • TMC traffic message channel
  • German patent DE 35 36 820 discloses a receiver that according to the Switch on the previously received, decoded and stored Plays traffic reports once. After that, only the latest messages reproduced. The older messages are therefore not repeated. It will be here So only once the whole series of traffic reports when switching on the Reproduced by the recipient.
  • the US patent 49 07 159 shows a control panel for an RDS receiver, the one LCD screen and several buttons that select the desired one Enable information.
  • the traffic reports received are after Areas stored in order. Nevertheless, the driver must always choose the preferred one Specify the area because the recipient is unable to select the desired area, save and retrieve information about which the driver wants to receive.
  • the invention has for its object a control panel for an RDS-TMC radio receiver to specify that an easy access that few Operating steps required to allow certain desired information.
  • This task is therefore for a control panel of a radio receiver solved that pressing the information button for the duration of a first Time period a reproduction of the received, decoded and previously stored information triggers, and that pressing the information button searches for other RDS-TMC stations than for the duration of a second period the currently received station.
  • Only one information button is provided for the central operating functions.
  • the duration for which the button is pressed is already different Information or various functions selected. Will the button operated only for the duration of a first period of time, so the previous received, decoded and stored in the receiver again accessed, i.e. reproduced. However, the button will last for a second Pressed for a period of time, the receiver searches for other RDS-TMC transmitters than the current one received. In the simplest case, it is sufficient to operate the RDS-TMC receiver or its control panel by pressing this button, with which the desired information can be called up at any time and with the other stations are adjustable.
  • the entire decoded and stored previously received The driver can always call up any information; he doesn't need to Reproducing the information particularly focus so that its Attention is not distracted from traffic.
  • An embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the control panel has a regional button, when pressed only that information are reproduced, which are assigned to the region in which the Broadcast receiver is located.
  • the known evaluation of the region in which the recipient is located offers in connection with the control unit according to the invention for one Radio receivers have the advantage that this information for the selection of the RDS-TMC information can be used advantageously. Pressing the regional key triggers then just playing back the information from the current area assigned. No operator intervention is required to identify the region in which the vehicle is to be adjusted or entered.
  • Control panel has memory buttons, among which selected regions and / or selected routes can be saved, and only when they are pressed those information are reproduced that the under a pressed key stored regions and / or routes are assigned.
  • the memory buttons allow certain regions under each of them and / or routes can be saved. When one of these is pressed Memory buttons are then only played back the information that the assigned button are assigned.
  • the advantage for the operator of the Broadcast receiver or the control unit for this is that he the Select regions or routes only once and under a memory button must save and that it is subsequently simply by pressing the save button are available at any time. So there is a possibility here, for example the Information for a pre-planned route, in which the recipient is, however is not (yet) available in advance. The driver must also use the driver's enter preferred areas and / or routes only once.
  • the regions and / or routes for the purpose of Storage under a regional key can be selected from a selection list. It this eliminates the need to enter individual letters; rather, the Destinations or routes can be selected from a list.
  • an RDS-TMC radio receiver is in view shown on its control surface 1.
  • the user interface 1 of this receiver has different ones Groups of buttons on.
  • a first group of keys 3 has such general operating functions, e.g. On / off, sound mute and volume. These buttons are for the general operation of the device, not only for RDS functions provided.
  • Another group of keys includes a regional key 4, an information key 5 and a function key 6, for future services of the RDS-TMC system is provided (e.g. information regarding public transport, park & Ride facilities).
  • buttons 7, 8 and 9 On the right side of the control unit 1 is a button group provided with memory buttons 7, 8 and 9, which Selection buttons 10, 11, 12 and 13 are assigned.
  • the radio receiver tuned to an FM transmitter that transmits the RDS-TMC information the messages received without errors in the Receiver saved.
  • Info button 5 has a double function. Will she during a first period of time, all are so far received, decoded and stored in the receiver Messages played once. This can for example by means of a not shown in the figure Speech synthesizer systems happen that by means of the information acoustically to an artificial voice reproduces.
  • the recipient looks for another RDS-TMC station than the one currently received. Once a new station has been found, its frequency and / or its name is displayed and the user can by actuation of the information key 5 the information of this station.
  • the information key 5 thus has a double function selected by the duration of pressing this button becomes.
  • the radio receiver is able to change the field strengths of the received transmitter with the field strengths of the stored Compare transmitters. After evaluating the differences of the field strengths, the region can suffice determine exactly.
  • the radio receiver uses the one transmitted in the RDS channel of the received station to use alternative frequencies. These alternative frequencies are frequencies of such transmitters over which the same Program is transmitted as on the currently received Channel. From the list of alternative frequencies you can deduce the place of residence of the recipient, since it is possible to draw conclusions from this list on which Transmitter that the device is currently receiving. From this Information in turn is known in which region the Receiver is located and it can be activated when the Regional key only those information from the RDS-TMC channel are reproduced that are assigned to this region are.
  • buttons 7, 8 and 9 provided among which selected regions and / or selected routes can be saved.
  • Pressing one of the buttons 7, 8 or 9 will be the one under regions and / or routes saved with this button called and evaluated in such a way that only reproduced those information of the RDS-TMC channel the regions and / or routes that are accessed assigned.
  • buttons thus offer the user the Possibility of the information for planned routes or regions to be visited in the to get ahead of time.
  • the driver can not only single areas or Select routes, but also combinations of both.
  • buttons offer it can more than three buttons, of course act, the operator the opportunity at any time Select information that specific areas or Routes are assigned. You only have to do this once must be selected and it is not necessary to have the Selection procedure be carried out again.
  • control panel according to the invention thus allows without time-consuming repeated inputs by the user direct access to the desired information.
