Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a storage medium storage package equipped with a code signal generation function, and in particular to an automatic guidance system for providing operating information to passengers via a display device or broadcasting device in vehicles such as trains and buses. The present invention relates to a removable storage medium storage package that can function as an information source for a device and has a code signal generation function.

Conventional general in-vehicle guidance involves displaying operating information on a display device or broadcasting information via a microphone according to the driver's judgment, and the information content varies and lacks uniformity.

Furthermore, the crew may forget their guidance duties, or it may be difficult for them to properly perform guidance duties at the required locations, such as in the trenches, so they are not necessarily suitable as a passenger service.

In view of these shortcomings, automatic guidance devices have recently been developed that use computers to automatically select the content of guidance broadcasts and display broadcast categories (locations, etc.). However, as the types of guidance work and the amount of information increase, operations for flight attendants are not necessarily easy. Therefore, it is desired to further reduce the labor involved in the above-mentioned guidance work without degrading passenger service.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is ideal for easily and quickly operating an automatic broadcast display guidance device that can automatically provide operation information, etc. to passengers in a vehicle such as a train or bus, and is suitable for selecting information. It is proposed to provide a storage medium storage package, such as a cassette tape, with a number of actuators, i.e., plates having a coded shape, for actuating a code switching element built into the Korg to generate a code signal. The purpose is

The invention will be explained in detail below with reference to illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1A shows a schematic structure of a storage medium storage package 1 of the present invention. As shown, package 1 is
a storage section 2 containing a storage medium such as a magnetic tape; a plate 3 attached to the storage section and having a coded shape;
It is made up of. However, the stored information is not limited to an analog signal stored on a magnetic tape as shown in the figure, but may be a digital signal using a PCM binary code by an IC, as long as it is assembled into a package. The tip of the plate 8 is formed into an uneven shape corresponding to the binary code 0.1. In the illustrated embodiment, eight protrusions and recesses are formed, thus allowing for 28, or 256, code classifications. It functions as an actuator that selectively operates the associated microswitch 4 installed on the corrugated surface of the plate 8. Therefore, when the package 1 is installed in, for example, a Korg forming part of an automatic broadcast display guide installation,
An appropriate code signal can be output as appropriate depending on the shape of the tip of the plate 8.

FIG. 1B shows another embodiment of the invention, plate 8'
is formed in a U-shape so that it can be inserted into and fixed in the storage section 2, and can easily be combined with an existing cassette case as the storage section 2. Figure 2B shows a U-shaped plate 8.
2A shows the operational relationship with the microswitch 4 shown in FIG. 2A when the microswitch 4 is used.

In the above explanation, it was explained that the tip of the plate 8 or 3' functions as an actuator for operating a microswitch, but there are photocouplers above and below the tip of the unevenness as a full light emitting part and a light receiving part, respectively. The code signal may be generated using the presence or absence of light passing through the
Alternatively, a light-reflecting material may be used for the plate, and a light-emitting part and a light-receiving part may be provided above or below the tip of the unevenness, and a code signal may be generated using the presence or absence of light reflection. Furthermore, instead of forming an uneven shape on the tip of the plate, holes may be formed in accordance with the code signal, and an optical system may be used. In any case, it is possible to implement the code signal generation function in various forms.

FIG. 8 is a block diagram of an automatic broadcast display guide device for vehicles such as trains, in which the storage medium storage package 1 of the present invention can be used detachably. It is composed of a broadcast content storage section 10 corresponding to the medium storage package 1, a Korg 11, a broadcast pattern storage section 1z1 central control section 13, a storage control section 14, a guide display section 15, and a low frequency amplification section 16.

The cogs 11 are selectively actuated by the tip of the plate 3 of the package 1 (eight in the embodiment).
It has a built-in microswitch, and outputs code signals corresponding to zk code classifications, that is, broadcast patterns, from terminal a according to the shape of the tip of the package to be mounted.

The broadcast pattern storage unit 12 stores two types of broadcast patterns as described above. Taking trains as an example, the broadcast patterns are stored in accordance with the train type (start, express, local, etc.), destination, etc., depending on the operating schedule of the train. There are various types of stop station classifications, and each of these stop station classifications is referred to as a broadcast pattern (code classification).

FIG. 4 shows two examples of broadcast patterns stored in the broadcast pattern storage unit 1z, and the broadcast points where automatic broadcast is required in the process of train operation are shown in Figure 4. In broadcast pattern 1, (1, 2, 8, -----
1----n), i/! in the second broadcast pattern. (1,5
, 6, 8, 15---Z 5---n). As a result, if the second broadcast pattern is selected by attaching the package 1, as shown in FIG. .4, --- i,
----n) corresponding to the second broadcast pattern (1.5.6.8.15,--- i, -
---n) is lit (it is indicated by hatching, so
You can find out where the broadcast will take place.

In most cases, this lighting display corresponds to the stop station, so
This is convenient for informing passengers of the train's stops, ie, the train's operation.

The broadcast content storage unit 10 corresponds to the storage medium storage package 1 of the present invention as shown in FIG. ) has been done. Specifically, considering the above-mentioned second broadcast pattern, the broadcast contents are stored as shown in FIG. That is, at the first point, the broadcast contents of O related to that point are recorded, and at the fifth point, the broadcast contents of O related to that point are recorded in correspondence with each other. There is. Possible broadcast contents such as 0.0° include ``The next stop is xx----J,'' and ``We arrived at XX station without 1.1111.''

The operation of the automatic broadcast display device shown in FIG. 3 will be explained as follows.

When a storage medium storage package in which broadcast content based on a prespecified service schedule is recorded is attached to an automatic broadcast display device, a plurality of microswitches of the Korg 11 are selectively activated according to the shape of the tip of the plate 3 of the package. It is opened and closed to enable generation of a predetermined code signal. Automatic broadcast display is performed by a start signal ST input to the central control unit 18. The start signal ST may be given manually or automatically from a suitable point determination device available from the train. Upon input of the start signal ST, the central control unit 18 starts the control operation, and the Korg 11
The code signal (terminal α) generated by the code signal is input, and the broadcast patterns stored in the broadcast pattern storage unit 12 corresponding to this code signal are summed. Next, the storage control section 14 operates according to a command from the central control section 18, and the broadcast content recorded in the broadcast content storage section 10 is output from the terminal, and the low frequency amplification section 16 is output via the central control section 18.
is input. Therefore, the output A-OU of the low frequency amplification section 16
When connected to the existing automatic broadcasting device (not shown),
On the other hand, at the same time as the broadcast pattern is read out, the guide display unit 15 operates via the central control unit 13 according to the broadcast pattern, and a display as shown in FIG. The automatic broadcasting is stopped by detecting the down payment for the next broadcast content, and the next broadcast content is prepared.The information display section 15 displays the following.
At the same time as the broadcast of one broadcast content ends, the corresponding point display may be turned off, and the display may be repeated one after another until finally all the displays are turned off at n points to inform passengers of the train's running process.

As described above, according to the storage medium storage package equipped with the code signal generation function of the present invention, automatic broadcast guidance or automatic display guidance performed in vehicles etc. can be easily and extremely accurately performed, and the guidance service can be improved. It greatly contributes to labor saving.
