FR2843671A1 - Pedestrian electronic newspaper unit having passive terminal reading mobile radiocommunications signals and user having choice information/message type except where emergency signals override choice selection - Google Patents

Abstract

The pedestrian electronic newspaper has a passive terminal allowing reception of information of all types, as well as messages and emergency signals. The passive terminal inputs mobile radiocommunication signals and the message category can be chosen by the user. Emergency messages override all categories.

Description

-1 The present invention relates to the field of radio communication and

of the

  radio transmission, that is to say sending and receiving messages over the air.

  It relates more particularly, but not exclusively, to a new device and a new method using a mobile radiocommunication device supported by a terminal allowing the reception of an electronic information journal anywhere - journal in the sense of a set of information and announcements as for a paper version - and also the reception of informative messages. The terminal can be used in interactive function, or not, according to the choice of the service provider and its user in front of a process marl terminal. This last interactivity function 10 also makes it possible, thanks to the terminal, to control and / or use: a machine, electronic equipment, computer equipment at short distance. Also interactive and dynamic thanks to the introduction into the terminal of a smart card

  interchangeable according to the subject chosen by the user.

  In the known devices and methods, telephone networks are used according to the protocols: R.T.C, G.S.M., W.A.P., U.M.T.S., G. P.R.S., and I.P. networks.

  with obligation of recognition and authentication making expensive the use and the restitution of information. In this process, it is mandatory to have a sophisticated terminal attached to a subscription which allows access to a number of paid or pre-paid services by the user, regardless of the technology used, and this, depending on a choice defined at the origin of the subscription of its service contract. Finally it is compulsory for this type of process to have an identification number allowing

obtain related services.

  This radio communication terminal according to the invention makes it possible to get rid of these heavy obligations and leaves free will to each user as to the choice of the information received on his terminal, both in the area and on the parameters of the type of information expected at national, regional, local and local level. In the pilot version, it allows the remote use of all electronic and / or computer automatons and recovers messages according to the user's choice. More and more

  making it interactive it becomes a smart card reading tool containing various information according to its needs.

  New device and new radio-communication method characterized in that it allows all users to receive an electronic journal of pedestrian information: national, regional and local served by national authorities,

  regional, local or even local sales.

  -2 Also characterized in that it allows all users to receive emergency and / or informative messages of all national, regional and local selrvis orders through commercial transmitters and national, regional boards,

local, even proximity.

  Also characterized in that it makes it possible to take control of a machine at a greater or lesser distance from an interactive terminal and to recover from it.

the information to store or not.

  Also characterized in that it is possible to introduce a smart card, the terminal being able to read and manage it, to retrieve information or else use information from memory to be guided according to a predefined procedure at

beforehand on this smart card.

  Other advantages and characteristics will emerge more clearly on reading the description

  which will follow made with reference to the figures given for information and in no way limitative, including:

  - Figure 1 is an overall diagram of the transmission of information and anntmonces.

  - Figure 2 is a diagram of interactive operation facing a machine.

  - Figure 3 is a diagram of interactive operation including a smart card.

  FIG. 1 makes it possible to see in the transmission of the information which will be transmitted nationally, regionally A ', locally locally A "to B motorway and route 20 then relayed by a regional C or local C" transmitter to the places of residence 1), D ', D "then to a regional E or local E' or near F, F 'transmitter. All information according to the choice of the user will be readable on screen G with the possibility of managing it with a block of arrows H and three function buttons of the Enter, Cancel, Return type.

  in I. The information will have as its starting point the transmitter responding to the desired coverage area.

  FIG. 2 makes it possible to see in the transmission of the information which will be transmitted from proximity A 'with the possibility of making its terminal converse with the terminal B or the automaton B' in order to take cognizance of the services offered and of download those selected by the user. In C in the display window, a screen with a suitable PC for viewing announcements and loading those that are selected by the user. All the operations being readable in addition or not on its terminal E at the choice of

distributors and users.

  - 3 Figure 3 shows in the transmission of information that will be transmitted nationally, regionally, locally from proximity A 'to C. Here we will note the insertion in C of a smart card B in order to read it when reading

data stored on it.

  Another advantage of the invention is to be able to be included in all types of existing Terminals if the operators do not wish to create a reserved munic terminal

to the functions defined above.

  It will be noted that this invention generally meets the needs for receiving passive information without having a sophisticated terminal with an expensive subscription. 10 In the context of risk management, it provides a means of rapidly communicating in places frequented and difficult to access to emergency services in the context

prevention campaign.

  It is understood that the present invention is not limited to the operating mode and embodiment described and shown, which is only an example to which many modifications can be made without this being

  away, or that we depart from the present invention.
