The present invention relates to an information service method through broadcasting in a mobile environment for receiving a user's desired information for a necessary period in an information service using a broadcasting medium while moving.

More specifically, in the information service using one-way broadcasting, by using an auxiliary device capable of broadcast propagation or two-way communication, the information user can receive information as much as the information usage fee paid by the terminal user. In order to reduce the cost and to continuously invest the collected information usage fee in the collection and processing of the information, to improve the accuracy of the information and to maximize the quality of life of users who use the information service method through broadcasting in the mobile environment. It is about.

In general, when the information service is received in a wireless environment in a mobile environment, that is, the information service through a communication medium capable of two-way communication (wireless Internet, mobile phone, wireless LAN, etc.) is to pay the information usage fee as much as the information used. .

However, in the mobile environment, since the wireless Internet, mobile phones, and wireless LANs have to perform 1: 1 communication, it is difficult to receive the information necessary for the general public at a low cost due to expensive communication fees.

In order to solve the above problems, the information service using unidirectional broadcast wave has the characteristics of a broadcasting antenna located in a high area, a large transmission power, and a unidirectional direction. It is considered as a suitable medium for information service for the general public because it can provide information service at a low price, but it incurs the cost of continuous collection of information, processing of collected information and communication to the transmission center of processed information. Therefore, it becomes inevitable to pay for information, and for this purpose, information service through conventional broadcasting cannot be decoded by a general method when sending information, and then a semiconductor having a function to decrypt it is supplied to the terminal manufacturer. Use information about one time when selling the device The will that is collected.

On the other hand, the above method can initially collect the information usage fee, but due to the nature of the information service through broadcasting, the validity period of the information is short (for example, satellite correction information: 1 second to weather forecast: 4 hours). The cost of collecting and maintaining the information is continuously required, and the collection of information charges until the end of the life of the terminal for one-time sales of the terminal increases the price of the information terminal, which can interfere with the dissemination of the terminal. In addition to the problem, there is a situation in which the terminal user continues to pay the information fee even when the terminal user does not need the information, and the terminal user has to bear the information fee regardless of the use of the information.

Therefore, due to the above problems, the fee for the conventionally performed information service is limited to some extent, which does not improve the quality of the information provided to the user and at the same time, the user who receives the information service using the terminal. Problems that minimize reliability and satisfaction of information are always included.

On the other hand, the present invention can be variously modified and take various forms in the information service method through the broadcast consisting of the above-described steps.

It is to be understood, however, that the present invention is not limited to the specific forms referred to in the above description, but rather includes all modifications, equivalents and substitutions within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. It should be understood to do.

Looking at the present invention carried out as described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, as shown in Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings, consisting of a transmitter 100 for transmitting information and a receiver 200 for receiving the transmitted information, The transmitting unit 100 is a broadcasting center (4) responsible for processing and transmitting the collected information, a broadcast transmission antenna (1) for transmitting the information to the air, a management center (5) and a user for the management of information users It consists of a server (6) containing the information.

Accordingly, the broadcasting center 4 and the management center 5 are organically connected to operate the terminal so that the terminal of the user can receive information using an auxiliary communication device capable of broadcasting or bidirectional communication according to the information user's request. The code will be sent.

At this time, the flow of information in the transmission system informs the management center 5 that the information user wants to receive, the user's unique number is sent to the broadcast center 4, the broadcast center 4 is managed The operation code is configured as a transmission packet (see FIG. 2) using the user's terminal unique number received from the center 5 to broadcast over the airwaves 3 through the broadcast transmission antenna 1.

In addition, the receiving unit 200 is composed of a receiver 2 for receiving a broadcast and a terminal 20 using the information transmitted through the broadcast, the flow and processing of the information in the receiver (2) first The radio wave transmitted through the airwaves 3 is received by the broadcast reception antenna 7 mounted on the receiver 2, and the received radio waves are tuned by the tuner 8 of the receiver 2 and the demodulator 9 of the rear stage. ) Is converted into a signal that can be processed.

In addition, the tuner 8 selects frequencies required at various frequencies, and the demodulator 9 is a component using a semiconductor, which not only converts an analog signal transmitted from the tuner 8 into digital but also standardizes information. The function of restoring the loss of information through broadcasting is performed.

On the other hand, there are two ways for the receiver 2 to designate a state in which information can be received through broadcast, and the first is to make the receiver 2 receivable or impossible through broadcast. Second, the user manipulates the receiver 2 in a state in which the terminal 20 can receive it.

First, a method of switching the receiver 2 into a receivable state through broadcast is that when the transmission packet transmitted through the broadcast is transmitted to the controller 16 through the tuner 8 and the demodulator 9, the receiver 2 The unique number 13 and the received unique number is compared, and in this case, if the received unique number after the comparison and the unique number of the receiver 2 are different, the received packet is discarded and the standby or existing task is performed.

If the received unique number and the unique number of the receiver 2 are the same, the operation mode OM 22 of the contents of the transmission packet shown in FIG. 2 is analyzed, and the contents thereof are analyzed. 5, and the contents of the data VNS 23 which are operating values in the reception packet are analyzed to store information corresponding to each service in the service designation register 14 (see FIG. 8).

At this time, when the user receiving the operation code transmits the operation code of the receiver 2 to the receiver 2 using the operation button 19 of the terminal 20, the receiver 2 operates normally. This is done.

As described above, the user may directly operate the receiver 2 in a state in which the receiver 2 can be received using a separate communication device or by using an external communication device 45 connected to the terminal 20. This can be connected to the server 6 of the management center 5 to directly operate the terminal from the management center 5.

In the case where the information user directly inputs the operation code of the receiver directly to the receiver 2, it is confirmed whether the operation code of the receiver input by the information user is transmitted from the management center 5 in a normal way. Receiving the security code 10 from the broadcast can be confirmed by the receiver (2).

There are two methods of designating a reception period of the terminal 20 by a date and a method of designating an amount of information to be received. This is for the convenience of a user who uses the information. It is possible to receive by the date of use, and users with low frequency of use use the receiver as a received packet.

This is specified in the operation mode designation register 15, and the user who manages the terminal as the use date may designate the start and end of the use date. The receiver can be operated.

Looking at the structure of each packet and register implemented by the present invention, first, the transmission packet shown in Figure 2 is composed of the details by the content transmitted through the broadcast radio, which is a serial number (SN , 21), operation mode (OM, 22), and data (VNS) 23 containing available services and durations.

Type (FC, 25), data (DATA) 26, and whether the data is abnormal or not (CS, 27) portion and packet termination (ETX, 28) is composed of.

In addition, shown in FIG. 4 is a serial number of the terminal in the terminal 20, which is a company identification code (CoID, 29), a unique number (SN, 30) and the type of product (PID, 31) It is divided into).

In addition, the operation mode designation register shown in FIG. 5 indicates an operation mode of the receiver, which is a margin part RvD 32 in consideration of the expandability of the designation mode in the future, and a hold bit (pause) for suspending the operation of the receiver. HD, 33), the operation mode designation bit (C / T, 34) for the terminal to specify the operation in the date mode or the received packet mode, the packet detail bit (CM, 35) and the date detail bit ( TM, 36).

In addition, Figure 6 shows the information timer register 12 of the receiver 2, which is a start register (SOD, 37) indicating the start date of operation of the receiver, end register (EOD, indicating the end of the receiver operation) 38) and a date counter (DC, 39) that counts dates when the date count mode is specified.

In addition, Figure 7 shows the information receiving counter 11 of the receiver, the reference register 41 designates the number of information received per hour to change the value according to the type of service and the speed of the medium. The packet counter 42 is a part that counts the received packets, and the time unit counter 40 is configured to receive the result after receiving the time information in the packet counter 42.

Finally, Figure 8 shows the service designation register 14 of the receiver 2, which is a part in which a list of receivable services delivered from a broadcast or user is stored, and whether the service item 43 and service availability are available. It is divided into possible bits (44) for indicating.
