Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bus approach information instructing device for instructing bus approach information to a bus stop, and more particularly to a device for personal use.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, in a conventional bus approach information indicating device, a bus 11 is connected to a bus stop 12 as shown in FIG.
When the sign post 13 receives a transmission signal from the bus 11 and is transmitted to the bus center 14 when passing through the sign post 13 established a predetermined distance from the bus center 14, the bus center 14 sends a bus approach information signal to the bus stop 12. It is put into practical use by a so-called guidance system in which the information is displayed on the bus approach information indicating plate 15 and displayed.

However, in such a conventional bus approach information indicating device, a bus user has a bus approach information indicating board 1.
If the user does not reach near the bus stop 12 to the extent that 5 can be seen, the bus user cannot know the bus approach information, which is inconvenient. In other words, the bus operating time is becoming inaccurate due to road conditions that are getting worse in recent years, and it is strongly required for bus users to know the operating status of the bus they want to use before reaching the bus stop. However, in the conventional system in which the bus approach information cannot be known unless the bus stops near the bus stop, it is very inconvenient for the bus user.

[0004]

As described above, in the conventional bus approach information indicating device, it is inconvenient that the bus user cannot know the bus approach information unless the user arrives near the bus stop. Have

Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and it is extremely possible for a bus user to easily grasp the approach information of a bus he / she wants to use on an individual basis without having to go near a bus stop. An object is to provide a good bus approach information instruction device.

[0006]

A bus approach information indicating device according to the present invention transmits a bus approach information signal in a state where a bus has passed a predetermined position before a bus stop, and gives a bus approach instruction at the bus stop. It uses a bus approach information instruction system. A storage unit that receives the transmitted bus approach information signal and stores the bus approach information in association with the bus information for identifying the bus, and a bus approach information signal corresponding to the bus information set by inputting and setting the bus information Is provided from the storage means and is compared with the received bus approach information signal, and an instruction means for instructing the presence or absence of the bus approach based on the comparison result of the comparison means.

[0007]

According to the above-mentioned structure, if the bus approach information signal and the bus information are stored in the storage means in advance, the bus user only needs to input and set the bus information of the bus he / she wants to use. It is possible to know whether or not the bus to be approached is approaching, and the approach information of the bus to be used can be easily grasped on an individual basis without going to the vicinity of the bus stop.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, the same parts as those in FIG.
It has a portable receiver 17 having a function of receiving a bus approach information signal sent from the bus center 14 to the bus stop 12 and instructing the bus approach information. As shown in FIG. 2, the receiver 17 has a liquid crystal display unit 18, a buzzer 19, and an operation unit 20.

The inside of the receiver 17 is constructed as shown in FIG. That is, the bus approach information signal received by the reception antenna 21 is received by the reception signal processing circuit 22.
After being subjected to a predetermined process such as amplification in step 1, the signal code is decoded by the code decoding circuit 24 via the switch 23 which is turned on and off by the operation of the operation part 20, and stored in the memory 25. The data stored in the memory 25 is read out by the processing unit 26 and subjected to the data processing described later, whereby the display unit drive circuit 27 that drives the liquid crystal display unit 18 and the buzzer drive circuit 2 that drives the buzzer 19.
8, 29 are controlled.

Here, the receiver 17 is based on the bus information (bus number, where the bus starts and where it goes, etc.) of the route that the bus user 16 wants to use, and the bus center sends a transmission signal to the sign post 13. The code of the bus approach information signal transmitted from 14 is made to correspond to and stored in the memory 25 in advance. Bus information is
The code of the bus approach information signal corresponding to the bus information is directly stored in the memory 25 by operating the operation unit 20, and the bus approach information indicating plate 15 of the bus stop 12 is used to indicate the approach of the target bus. At this time, the operation unit 20 is operated to turn on the switch 23.

Note that the bus information and the code of the bus approach information signal can be stored in the memory 25 for buses on a plurality of routes, and can also be set for different bus stops on the same route. is there.

As described above, with the bus information of the route that the bus user 16 wants to use and the code of the bus approach information signal corresponding to the bus information stored in the memory 25, the approach information of the bus that the user wants to use is stored. To know, first, the operation unit 20
Operate and input and set the bus information of the bus to be used. Then, the processing unit 26 detects the input and set bus information, reads the code of the bus approach information signal corresponding to the bus information from the memory 25, and stores it.

Next, the bus user 16 operates the operation unit 20 to turn on the switch 23. Then, if the target bus 11 passes through the sign post 13, the bus center 1
If the bus approach information signal is transmitted from No. 4, since the bus approach information signal is received and the code is stored in the memory 25, the processing unit 25 reads the code from the memory 25 and compares it with the code read to the destination. To do.

When both codes match, the processing unit 25 causes the liquid crystal display section 18 to display, for example, "Bus for XX is coming." Through the display section drive circuit 27, and drives the buzzer. The buzzer 19 is driven to sound at a constant cycle via the circuit 28 to indicate that the target bus 11 is approaching. If the two codes do not match, the processing unit 25 causes the buzzer 19 to perform sounding drive via the buzzer drive circuit 29 in a cycle different from the above, and indicates that the bus 11 is not approaching.

Therefore, according to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, the bus user 16 operates the receiver 17 at hand to determine whether or not the target bus 11 is approaching, and thus the bus 11 is close to the bus stop. Without approaching, it is possible to easily grasp the approach information of the bus you want to use on an individual basis. Also, if the bus 11 is significantly delayed, etc., if the switch 23 is left in the ON state,
This is convenient because the approach instruction is automatically issued when the bus approach information signal corresponding to the delayed bus 11 is transmitted.
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but can be variously modified and implemented without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0016]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention,
It is possible to provide a very good bus approach information instruction device that allows a bus user to easily grasp the approach information of a bus that he / she wants to use on an individual basis without having to go near the bus stop.
