  • FIG. 1 schematically represents a car radio receiver equipped with the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows in more detail the part concerned by the invention, and its connections with the rest of the apparatus.
  • the receiver of FIG. 1 comprises, from an antenna 1, a device 2 ("tuner") containing a tuning circuit and a frequency change circuit, followed by a device 3 containing a amplifier intermediate frequency and a demodulator.
  • a device 2 containing a tuning circuit and a frequency change circuit
  • a device 3 containing a amplifier intermediate frequency and a demodulator.
  • RDS Radio Data System
  • an FM subcarrier is modulated by digital data signals, useful for the reception of different transmitters of the same chain.
  • the receiver includes a decoder 13 for RDS messages.
  • TMC Traffic Message Channel
  • traffic information messages are incorporated into certain digital fields of RDS signals, for example:” traffic jam three km before entering Lille ".
  • the receiver To process the TMC messages, the receiver includes a module 14, to which the RDS data of the decoder 13 is brought by a bus 21, to be analyzed and possibly stored. To enable messages to be delivered in voice form, this module 14 is connected to an audio amplifier system 4 followed by a loudspeaker 5. To allow messages to be displayed in written form, it is connected to an interface device input / output 18 connected to a display screen 10, for example with liquid crystal. To ensure interactivity with the user, the input / output interface 18 is connected to a control keyboard 12.
  • a permanent memory in which information is stored in clear, in the form for example of the ASCII codes of the characters of a message to be displayed, and / or the sequence of phonemes (for the record, a phoneme is a sound unit of a language) which corresponds to it, to addresses corresponding to the different possible contents of each field, which makes it possible to find the information from the content of a field.
  • the 1 st field (describing an event), which has 11 bits, is associated with a memory which can contain in plain text 2048 vocabulary elements (i.e. 2 11 vocabulary elements), each being found at the address defined by the content of the field.
  • vocabulary elements are for example "traffic jam", “work”, “accident”, etc.
  • the 2 nd field (describing a location), which comprises 16 bits, is associated with a memory, known as the location point memory, which can contain in the clear up to 65,536 vocabulary elements (i.e. 2 16 vocabulary elements) which include complete data on in particular localization names, their type, the region to which they belong, the next and previous points, etc., each vocabulary element being in principle found at an address designated by the content of the field.
  • vocabulary elements are for example "Paris”, or "Lille”, or "the exit 21", etc.
  • TMC describing a location
  • 65536 elements each for selection depending on the application.
  • the country concerned is indicated in a so-called PI code carried by the RDS data, and the reference of the chosen database is indicated in a "system message" which is sent from time to time by each RDS / TMC transmitter.
  • extension is meant the fact that the event considered extends for example to the following location.
  • bit 0 means for example "direction Paris ⁇ Lille"
  • bit 1 would mean “direction Lille ⁇ Paris” (it is the content of field 2 which indicates that we are on a link between Paris and Lille, but the direction is not indicated there).
  • the microcontroller 7 selects and prepares digital data, for example a sequence of ASCII characters designating parts of a message, allowing the display screen 10 to display these elements, or symbols each designating a phoneme, allowing a module of speech synthesis 20 known per se, to generate the phonemes in the form of analog signals delivered to the audio amplifier 4 followed by the speaker 5.
  • digital data for example a sequence of ASCII characters designating parts of a message, allowing the display screen 10 to display these elements, or symbols each designating a phoneme, allowing a module of speech synthesis 20 known per se, to generate the phonemes in the form of analog signals delivered to the audio amplifier 4 followed by the speaker 5.
  • the microcontroller 7 When a TMC message arrives, the microcontroller 7 receives the contents of the fields from the RDS decoder 13, and writes them to memory 9. For display on the screen 10 and / or the voice transmission of this message, the microcontroller 7 extracts from the memory 9 at least the contents of the fields 1, 3, 4 which it interprets in a known manner, inter alia by reading in the memory 8 the constituents of the message to be produced to announce the corresponding event in the language of the user, in the form of symbols describing the phonetics of the corresponding statements.
  • the microcontroller extracts from memory 9 the 2 nd field, it deduces therefrom an address in memory 23 by means of which it reads from this memory the spelling of the corresponding location name in the language of the country crossed, and the phonemes constituting it, and it inserts the name written in the appropriate place in the message to be displayed to announce the event, and it places the phonemes of the name, in the appropriate place in the sequence of symbols of phonemes which it supplies to the generator 20.
  • the microcontroller when the microcontroller extracts from memory 9 the 2 nd field, it reads from memory 23 on the one hand the spelling of the corresponding location name in the language of the user, and the phonemes constituting it , and on the other hand the spelling of the corresponding localization name in the language of the country crossed, and the phonemes constituting it. It then successively inserts the names in the two languages in the appropriate places (with the second name possibly in parentheses) in the message to be displayed to announce the event, and it places the phonemes of the names, successively in the two languages (with possibly a link like "or", or "who says", etc., between them), at the appropriate places in the sequence of symbols of phonemes which it supplies to the generator 20.
  • a special key can also be provided on the keyboard 12 to request a "translation" function. This request can also be made using a standard keyboard combination of keys 12. As soon as the request has been made, the microcontroller scans the keyboard to read the name entered by the user, or it displays on screen 10 a list of names from which the user can select one. Then it searches for that name in memory, and when it finds it, it reads the corresponding name in the other language and displays it on the screen.
  • the receiver is of course provided with means for automatically selecting, on the basis of the PI code, the desired portions of memory, according to the language of the radio signal received, that is to say that of the country crossed.
  • the translation functions as well as those of double utterance and / or of double display can also possibly be applied to vocabulary elements from other TMC fields, in order to allow a better understanding of certain panels.
  • the locality signs are not the only ones to be read by a motorist; if a German sign announces "Um ein beratet", it may be useful for a French motorist to know that it means "deviation advised”!
  • the device includes a graphic display (for example in CARIN for the display of maps), that it provides a "translation" of road signs specific to one country and which do not exist in another , in the form of drawings showing each of the panels in correspondence with its equivalent from another country, or of an explanatory text in the language of the user, associated with the foreign panel.
  • a graphic display for example in CARIN for the display of maps
