Are connected in parallel.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram of image data and sound data according to the present invention. In the figure, a plurality of image data 1 to n broadcast from the controller 3 to the main line L1 and sound data corresponding to the image data 1 to n are respectively provided with a data number and coordinate information for a touch panel. And these image data 1 to n include:
Each has an address added. Here, the plurality of image data 1 to n and the sound data corresponding to the image data 1 to n have data numbers 1 to n as one cycle.
It is continuously circulated and broadcast on the main line L1.

FIG. 3 shows the contents of the plurality of image data shown in FIG. In the figure, image data displayed on the touch panel child device terminals 21 to 29 include:
Menu screen as image 1, contents 1 to 4 as images 2 to 5 at lower levels than image 1, and images 6 (not shown) to image n at lower levels than images 2 to 5 -1 and content 5 as image n
(Not shown)-Content n-2 and Content n-1
And are included.

FIG. 4 shows a hierarchy of the plurality of image data shown in FIG. In the figure, the image data displayed on the touch panel slave terminals 21 to 29 is, for example, 4
It consists of two layers. In the figure, an image 1 as a basic menu screen constitutes a higher hierarchy, and below this image 1, images 2 to 5 exist in a tree shape. In the lower part, images 6 to 13
Images exist in a tree shape. Images 6 to 13
Of the images 14 to n-1 and n
Exists.

Next, the operation of the still image transfer system with sound data of the present invention using the system configured as described above will be described.

First, in the network server 1,
Preliminary image data such as a menu screen, bulletin board, regional information, and weather information and sound data corresponding to the image data are prepared, and a data number is assigned to the image data and the sound data corresponding to the image data. Then, it is transmitted to the controller 3.

On the other hand, the controller 1 accumulates a plurality of image data transmitted from the network server 1 and sound data corresponding to the image data, and as shown in FIG. An address is added to each sound data corresponding to the data. The image data and the sound data corresponding to the image data are respectively provided with a plurality of touch panel-equipped slave terminals 21 to 2 after the touch panel coordinate information is added thereto.
9 is broadcast periodically. Here, the image data and the sound data corresponding to the image data are stored in the same manner as the method of transmitting the moving image by using a different address for each frame of the image data of 60 frames per second and the sound data corresponding to the image data. Broadcast. This gives 1
It is possible to broadcast image data of up to 60 screens per second and sound data corresponding to the image data.

Next, an example of a flow of a series of operations and a data communication procedure will be described.

First, for example, a menu screen is registered in the first touch panel-attached slave terminal 21 as an initial screen, and is displayed on a touch panel (not shown) including an LCD or the like. Then, when the user presses any part of the menu screen using the touch panel, the image data associated with the coordinate information of the touch panel and the address of the sound data corresponding to the image data are picked up from the main line, and this image is displayed. The data is displayed on the screen of the touch panel, or sound data corresponding to the image data is reproduced. Here, when the displayed image data includes an image of a lower hierarchy than the image data, the next image data is picked up from the main line according to the coordinate information of the touch panel. For example, assume that the image 2 displaying the content 1 is selected on the menu screen shown in FIG. Then, since the video data of the image 2 is associated in advance by the coordinate information, the image 2 which is a lower hierarchy than the image 1 can be picked up only by the touch panel operation of the first touch panel-equipped child device terminal 21. Also, a content 1-1 (not shown) associated with the content 1
If the image 6 of the image 6 exists, the image 6
Can be picked up. Similarly, when an image n of the content n-1 associated with another content exists, the image n can be picked up in the same procedure as described above.

As described above, the slave terminal 21 with the touch panel
29 to access the network server 1 using a menu screen for displaying a plurality of image data to display the contents of the content in the image data displayed in a hierarchy, and to reproduce sound data corresponding to the image data. Can be.

On the other hand, for image data other than fixed information such as the Internet, a free video area is provided during one round of broadcasting, and image data from the network server 1 is transmitted to the controller 3 in the video area. Stored and broadcast. Here, the broadcast cycle of the image data is determined by the controller 3
And the response time at which the image is displayed. For example, if the response time is 3 seconds at the worst value, the memory in the controller 3 has a maximum of 1
What is necessary is to secure a system that can broadcast 80 images.

In the above-described embodiment, as image data displayed on the touch panel slave terminal, 4
Although the description has been made of a configuration having one hierarchy, the hierarchy of the image data is an example, and the tree structure of the image data can be arbitrarily configured. Further, the number of child device terminals with a touch panel connected to the controller is not limited to nine, and may be more or less than nine.

[0022]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the still image transfer method with sound data of the present invention, the image data with the data number and the coordinate information for the touch panel and the sound data corresponding to the image data are obtained. Since the terminal is always broadcasted periodically on the main line, in the slave terminal with a touch panel, only the image data and the sound data corresponding to the image data are read, and the desired image data and the image data are supported. Sound data can be obtained. Therefore, in the still image transfer method with sound data of the present invention, even if all of the child device terminals with touch panels access the network server, the next image data is always independent of the fluid processing speed and communication speed. The data and the sound data corresponding to the image data can be displayed or reproduced for a fixed time within a predetermined range.
