Description

Bus terminal devices displaying bus ride and stop bus numbers {Bus-stop Terminal Apparatus for Presenting Bus-Numbers}

The present invention relates to a terminal apparatus at a bus stop, and more particularly, to a terminal apparatus for displaying a bus number to be boarded by a passenger at a bus stop and a display relating to the number of a bus to stop.

Many techniques related to a conventional bus service guide or a terminal device of a bus stop have been proposed. First of all, the patent of which the period of expiration has expired is representative of "Pause stop time display and designated ride and stop position display method" of Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0030553.

This is a central processing by connecting an input device to a storage device that stores data information necessary for getting on and off guidance, and a storage device that connects an arithmetic unit, a control device and an output device to adjust a scheduled dispatch time and getting on and off time. The apparatus includes a central indicator that enables the output device to inform passengers and drivers of data information from the storage device.

There is also a "bus arrival display apparatus" of Korean Patent Application No. 10-1991-0021686. This describes a bus operation display device for easily identifying the location of the bus closest to the stop and the distance from the bus. The bus is provided with a transmitter for transmitting a code signal for identifying the bus number. The stop is provided with an indicator for identifying the bus number transmitted from the bus and for visually displaying the distance between the buses by detecting the electric field strength of the radio signal generated from the bus. Thus, as the bus approaches the stop, signals for it can be displayed sequentially on the indicator.

In addition, the "Bus stop sign" of Korean Utility Model Application No. 20-1998-0006252 has a fluorescent lamp installed inside a transparent plate on which bus information is displayed to identify the location and bus number of the bus stop at a long distance and at night. In addition, it makes it easy to understand the driving route.

Next, there is a "bus information display apparatus" of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2000-0010114. The structure is installed at each bus stop, displays the number of the entry buses according to the information received from the main system, stores information on various bus routes, and outputs the stored route information according to the user's key operation. Information display means; A bus-side terminal device mounted on a running bus and communicating with a bus stop base station; A base station (stop) which transmits the number of the bus currently entering and information on the stop where the bus will stop to the terminal and the information display means; Include the main system.

Another conventional technique is a "city bus ride notification radio apparatus" of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2000-0061740. Using the radio communication method between the station and the bus, when the bus passenger enters the number of the bus to be used at the bus station on the operation panel, the indicator lights up in front of the driver's seat of the bus coming to the station, It aims to inform the driver in advance that passengers on the bus are waiting.

However, this conventional technique has a disadvantage of having a complicated configuration. In general, the long distance wireless communication method requires a lot of parts for communication, and in particular, the control by the main system requires a huge component. Such a complicated configuration is not suitable for a bus system as a public transportation used at low cost.

The present invention provides a bus stop terminal device that can display a bus number of a passenger to board at a bus stop, and on the other hand, even with a relatively simple configuration. There is a purpose.

Features of the present invention for achieving the above object, the power source 210; A display device 220 connected to the power source and configured to display a plurality of bus numbers separately; A plurality of manual open / close switches 230 connected in series to each of the power source 210 and the display device 220 and operated by a passenger;

A receiving device 244 capable of receiving an infrared signal from a bus number transmitter attached to a bus when the bus is stopped, a decoder device 243 for extracting a bus number from a signal received by the receiving device, and the decoder device A flashing control device 240 including a processor 241 capable of outputting a signal for controlling the flashing of the bus number display device 220 corresponding to the extracted bus number;

Respectively connected in series with the manual switching switch 230, and connected to each output terminal 245 of the flashing control device 240 so as to turn off the display device 220 of the corresponding bus number when a control signal is output. It is to include a plurality of automatic off switch 235.

According to another feature of the present invention, the display device 220 includes a first display unit 221 in which power can be opened and closed by the manual open / close switch 230, and a second blinking device by the blink control device 240. A display unit 223;

The flashing control device 240 lights the second display unit 223 when the bus number signal of the bus stopped from the previous stop is input, and receives the same bus number from the stop at the receiving device 244. The lighted second display unit 223 is turned off at one time, and is configured to output the bus number signal to the next stop.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, it will be described embodiments of the configuration according to the present invention in detail.

1 illustrates an outer surface of a bus stop terminal device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 schematically shows an internal circuit configuration of the stop terminal device according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, an example of an apparatus 120 for displaying a bus route number includes a light emitting diode display panel at an upper portion thereof, and a button switch 230 for selecting a bus number at a lower portion easily accessible by a passenger.

The bus logo mark 110 and the destination direction sign 120 on the other side of the prop of a station (terminal device) represent the recent bus operation system of 2004. In addition, in order to prepare a cost for the bus stop terminal apparatus according to the present invention, the commercial advertisement board 140 may be allowed in four sides.

2 shows a circuit including a power supply 210, a bus number display device 220, a manual open / close switch 230, a switch function transistor 235, and a flashing control device 240.

Although only one switch 230 or 235 is shown for clarity, a plurality of switches 230 and 235 are connected in parallel with each other as many bus numbers as can be displayed. Therefore, there are also a plurality of output terminals 245 of the flashing control device 240.

A relatively complicated configuration in FIG. 2 is the blink control device 240. The primary purpose for which the blink control device 240 is included is to extinguish the displayed or lit bus number in certain cases. The reason is that the bus number that the passenger wants to ride is displayed on the display board 220 of the bus stop, because the displayed bus number needs to be turned off after the passenger gets on the bus.

What is needed to perform such an operation is to cut off the power to the display device 220 of the bus number to be boarded when the bus of the bus number to which the passenger wants to ride arrives at the stop and stops.

The present invention basically includes a receiver 244 for receiving an infrared signal from a bus stopped at a stop, and a decoder 243 for extracting a bus number stopped at the received signal. And a flashing control device 240, which is composed of a processor 241 for outputting an extinction control signal to a switch 235 for extinguishing the display device 220 corresponding to the number.

As the automatic extinguishing switch 235, a transistor of the kind which allows the current between the source and the drain to be cut off when a control signal is input to the base thereof is preferable. Then, when there is a signal output from the flashing control device 240, the bus number display device 220 may be turned off automatically.

The reason why the processor 241 uses a relatively large number of components is because there are many bus line numbers at one stop, and the bus numbers passing through the respective stops are different. The first main role of the processor 241 is to correctly designate the corresponding output terminal among the plurality of output terminals 245 according to the bus number code input from the decoder 243. The data necessary for this may be stored in the storage device 242.

The manual open / close switch 230 operated by the passenger is a push-type switch, and the flashing state of the display device 220 changes every time it is pressed, and is well known. In addition, a technique for transmitting a unique bus number code signal from the bus to the infrared is well known, and it is also known to transmit a signal when the door is operated while the bus is stopped. In addition, those skilled in the art may form a circuit configuration of the processor 241 to match the extracted bus number code and the control signal output terminal.

3 shows another embodiment of a bus number display device according to the present invention. The bus number display device 220 of the stop can be divided into a first display unit 221, a bus route number display unit 222, and a second display unit 223.

The second display unit 223 is for indicating the line number of the bus stopped at the previous stop. The hatched line shows the lighting state. The second display is intended to allow the passenger to know if the bus will soon be coming to the stop. The lighting of the second display unit 223 is performed by a transmission signal from the flashing control device of the previous stop, and the extinguishing is performed when the bus arrives and stops at the stop. The extinguishing method is the same as when the first display unit 221 is extinguished.

That is, the flashing control device 240 of any bus stop terminal device turns on the second display unit 223 when the bus number signal of the bus stopped from the previous stop is input and turns on the same bus number at the stop. The circuit is further configured to turn off the lit second display unit 223 when received by the receiver 244 and output the bus number signal to the next stop.

Accordingly, when both the left and right display portions of the bus route number portion 222 of the display device 220 are lit (in the case of 5500), the passenger is at the stop to take the bus of the number and the bus of the number. Will indicate that is coming to the stop from the previous stop.

The first display unit 221 is turned on when the passenger presses the bus number button 230 to be occupied, and is turned off by the flashing control device 240 as described in FIG. 2. However, it is preferable that the second display unit 223 connects a separate power line so as to be turned on or off only by the blink control device 240.

According to the present invention having the simple configuration as described above, the passenger at the bus stop can easily inform the bus driver of the desired bus number, and when the bus stops at the bus stop, the passenger can ride the bus automatically. There is an effect that can be turned off. Therefore, it is also effective to confirm that the bus has passed without stopping at the bus stop if the incidentally displayed bus number is not turned off.

In addition, in the present invention by distinguishing the first display unit and the second display unit in the bus number display device, the bus driver can check whether there is a passenger at the stop for one bus route number number, and the passenger can check that the bus It is effective to see if it is coming from. Therefore, even with a simpler circuit configuration than the main system or long distance radio communication, the passenger's convenience of use is improved.
