Description

  The present invention relates to an information distribution system and method, and more particularly, to an electronic information distribution system that uses a transportation tool of a public transportation system and transmits information to each station of a transportation network of the public transportation system.

  Currently, public information distribution systems use media such as wired and wireless television broadcasting systems, communication transmission systems, and the Internet, and wireless television broadcasting systems need to build a radio transmission tower. A transmission network is erected with a coaxial cable or optical fiber network. For communication transmission, it is necessary to construct a base station, an exchange room and a transmission line to form a core network, and the information is stored in the core network. The Internet system is configured with an IP network with Gateway, router, transmission line, etc. If the information is transmitted to the server used by the user through the IP network, the user Connect the server to access information.

  The above-mentioned existing information distribution media have common negatives such as high initial setup costs and too high system costs, and the communication transmission system has further fatal damage due to insufficient bandwidth. In addition, practicality is further limited by the necessity that the user has access facilities (for example, a television, a computer, a mobile phone, etc.) in any of these information distribution media.

  The present invention uses a public transportation system (for example, bus, ferry boat, express delivery, freight transportation, postal mail, railway, etc.) as an information transportation carrier in order to solve the technical problems as described above. In addition to avoiding cable laying, which is necessary for the initial device, the public transportation system covers the living area of many populations, so that many people's requests can be met.

  The information exchange of the present invention (excluding the use of the Internet for commercial promotion of commercial companies) preferably uses wireless transmission, and since long distance transmission is left to the public transportation system, short distance wireless transmission is possible. Although it may be used, the data is transmitted using an ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical) channel (for example: 2.4 GHz) and including spread spectrum technology. Similarly, it differs from wireless television and communication transmission using wireless transmission in that the present invention in which ISM channel and spread spectrum technology are used does not need to apply to management personnel, and it is like a current wireless network. In addition, any user who has hardware facilities can use it, and it is an excellent aspect compared to existing information distribution media that cannot be operated without applying for permission.

  The present invention basically includes a public transportation system including at least one transportation tool that travels along a predetermined route and includes one movable radio base station, and the public transportation system. At least one information exchange center located in a place where the transport equipment is parked for a long time in the system (for example, a bus terminal), and at least one information station transmitting data so as to be close to the travel route of the transport equipment It is included.

  Among them, the information exchange center receives a piece of commercial advertisement information via the Internet or the like, and when the transport tool is parked at the information exchange center, the information exchange center can be connected to a wireless base station to which the transport tool can be moved by a wired or wireless system. And when the transport tool approaches the information station, the information is transmitted to the information station in a wired or wireless manner, which is an extended information station (e.g., home or office or public institution), respectively. At least one of terminals, advertisement screens, etc.), and an information distribution network is realized.

  It is not easy to control the time that the transport tool parks at the information station and the information exchange center, and the information is transmitted from the information exchange center to the mobile radio base station of the transport tool as described above. And when transmitting the data from the mobile radio base station to the information station, the information is divided into several stages (the information may be divided into several stages in advance in a commercial advertisement). As a result, the information station again synthesizes it with the complete information. If there are one or more transportation tools, the information can be exchanged with each other even when they are approaching each other during traveling. Currently, public transport systems are sufficiently crowded in urban areas, and the separated information is completely received and newly synthesized by each information station in a short time. The details of the separation and new composition often appear in computer data transmission, and are therefore omitted here.

  In addition, if the transportation tool is a person-borne transportation tool, and the mobile radio base station can perform a global positioning (GPS) so that the inquiry of wired information and an automatic guided radio network can be realized in the carrier. ) Module and multiple displays can be externally attached.

  Since the present invention is low in arrangement cost and different from a TV that covers a large area, the present invention provides a small-area advertising service with a local area, and a small number of small department stores in a bus (for example, a bus). As a result, it is possible to reliably carry out advertisements for only a few areas in order to achieve an “ordered” advertising service. In addition, the present invention can be applied not only to a radio in a narrow area, but also to low-cost transmission over an area thanks to a transportation tool such as a railway.
