Description

 The invention relates to an information and advertising business, and specifically, to systems for visual reproduction of remotely variable information, including advertising, reproduced on remote visualization screens (information boards) and intended primarily for passengers at stops of public routed transport of served transport communication.

 Among information systems for servicing transport communications and distributing various types of visual information, for example, an information system [1] is known for use at transport hubs to transmit various, including advertising messages for passengers in waiting rooms or ticket rooms. System [1] contains a central point and remotely controlled information boards connected to the central point by two-wire communication lines, through which messages are transmitted and power is supplied. The implementation of the system [1] is complex and time-consuming, requires large funds, in particular, for laying cable communication and power lines. This limits the area of use of the system [1], for example, by the scope of one stationary structure (transport hub, station, etc.).

 Known, for example, is an information system for servicing transport communication [2], intended to be implemented as part of a traffic control system and oriented mainly to vehicle drivers. This system contains a motion control center, as well as remotely controlled information displays installed on mobile stations of the motion control system, equipped with devices that receive control signals transmitted by the motion control center via an appropriate radio channel for driving information displays. The implementation of the system [2] is associated with the development of specialized equipment, which leads to its high cost and thereby limits the scope. In addition, despite the fact that advertising messages can be transmitted in the system, their effectiveness is very low, which is mainly due to the short duration of the observation by the road users.

 Information systems for servicing transport communications are known, for example [3], [4], in which visual information is transmitted to passengers at stops of public routed transport about the expected arrival time of this transport. A feature of the systems [3], [4] is that the design of their information boards, see, for example, [5], is focused on the presentation of information about the expected transport, rather than advertising texts.

 Thus, the considered information systems for servicing transport communications [1], [2], [3], [4] along with high cost are characterized by the fact that advertising messages are not distributed in them, as in [3], [4] , or their distribution is associated with significant limitations, as in [1], [2].

 The information system described in [6], which is adopted as a prototype, has broader potential for the distribution of visual advertising information when servicing transport communications.

 The information system for servicing transport communication, adopted as a prototype, contains information boards located on the transport highway (visualization screens) that receive messages via a selective radio call network, for example, a city or regional paging network. Each of the information boards is equipped with an indicator panel, a selective radio call receiver and means for converting the received messages to a form that allows them to be displayed on the indicator panel. The system also includes a central terminal of the selective radio call network, associated with it at least one transmitter of the selective radio call network, a central station for receiving messages intended for playback using the corresponding information panels of the system, and means for entering these messages into the central terminal of the selective network radio call.

 A feature of the information system adopted as a prototype is that it uses an active selective radio call subscriber network (for example, a city or regional paging network) to distribute information visually reproduced on the system’s information panels, which is a common infrastructure element in a modern urbanized environment. This significantly reduces the cost of implementation and subsequent operation of the system.

 The information system, adopted as a prototype, works as follows.

 Information boards of the system are stationary located within the boundaries of the coverage area of the used selective radio call network along the transport highway, as a rule, near intersections or exits from the highway to the places where information (advertising) messages are posted on these boards. Users of the system (traffic organizers, advertisers) who wish to reproduce their information using the system's information displays inform the central station manager of the system the texts of information (advertising) messages, addresses (or other identification attributes) of the corresponding information displays, the desired time and duration of message playback.

 The dispatcher of the central station of the system types on the keyboard messages, each of which contains an address part that carries information about the address of the transmitted message, i.e. information about the subscriber number of the selective radio call receiver of the selected information panel, and a content part that reflects the actual information (advertising) text. These messages are entered using the appropriate means of computing and switching equipment into the central terminal of the selective radio call network.

 In the central terminal of the selective radio call network, each of these messages is appropriately encoded, after which it is broadcast using the transmitter (s) of the selective radio call network. The message signal thus emitted is then received by the selective radio call receiver, the subscriber number of which coincides with the number presented in the address part of the message. At the selective radio call receiver, the received message signal is decoded and converted to a form that allows the information (advertising) text displayed in the message content to be displayed on the display panel of the corresponding information board. The received message is stored and played on the display panel of the information board in accordance with the program of its operation. Control, decoding and other programs necessary for the operation of a bulletin board are implemented using standard computer technology.

 Changing the information displayed on the bulletin board occurs after receiving a new message generated and transmitted by the dispatcher of the central station of the system.

 Thus, the information system adopted as a prototype solves the problem of disseminating various types of information messages, including advertising messages, for road users - drivers and passengers of vehicles, as well as for pedestrians viewing the information panel of the system. This provides the possibility of targeted distribution of information in accordance with the location of the bulletin board through the use of selective radio call receivers having individual subscriber numbers in the selective radio call network.

 However, in the system adopted as a prototype, the impact of advertising information is not effective enough. In particular, for drivers of vehicles and their passengers this is due to the relatively short period of time during which the information boards of the prototype system can be viewed from a moving vehicle, and for pedestrians due to the lack of motivation to carefully read the messages reproduced on these displays.

 The technical problem to which the claimed invention is directed is to increase the perception efficiency of the advertising message system distributed with the help of information boards in relation to a new contingent of people, namely people who are in public transport waiting areas - such as places of stops of public routed transport.

 The essence of the invention lies in the fact that in the information system for servicing transport communication, containing at least one information board located on a transport line and receiving via a selective radio call network equipped with an indicator panel, a selective radio call receiver and means for converting received messages to a view, allowing to display them on the display panel, the central terminal of the selective radio call network and at least one associated with it a receiver of the selective radio call network, a central station for receiving messages intended for playback using the information board, and also a means for entering these messages into the central terminal of the selective radio call network, the information board is located in the passenger waiting area of the transport, and the selective radio receiver of the information board has individual receiving subscriber numbers established for receiving messages transmitted by the corresponding specialized information centers and, and is equipped with a reader of information accumulated in the receiver of a selective radio call, the output of which is connected through the message switch to a means for converting the received messages to a form that allows them to be displayed on the display panel, while the other information input of the message switch is an input for receiving messages from an autonomous information sensor , and the control inputs of the message switch and the reader of the information accumulated in the receiver of the selective radio call are connected through the address generator clear codes with a synchronization unit.

 The invention, its feasibility and the possibility of industrial application are illustrated in the drawing, which shows an example of a structural diagram of the inventive system in one of the simplest variants of its implementation.

 The inventive information system for servicing transport communication comprises at least one information board 1 located on a transport line and receiving messages via a selective radio call network, equipped with an indicator panel 2, a selective radio call receiver 3 and a microcomputer 4, which is a means for converting received messages to a form allowing display them on the indicator panel 2. The drawing shows an example implementation of the system in the minimum implementation option, i.e. with one bulletin board 1.

 The receiver 3 is equipped with a reader 5 of information accumulated in the receiver received via a selective radio call network. The output of the reader 5 is connected to the first information input 6 of the message switch 7, through which the reader 5 is connected with a means for converting the received messages to a form that allows them to be displayed on the display panel, i.e. with microcomputer 4.

 Another information input 8 of the switch 7 is an input for receiving messages from a standalone information sensor, in the considered example of system implementation - from a timer 9.

 The control inputs 10 and 11, respectively, of the switch 7 and the reader 5 are connected through the generator 12 address codes with block 13 synchronization.

 The claimed system also includes a central terminal 14 of the selective radio call network, at least one transmitter 15 of the selective radio call network connected to it (the drawing shows an embodiment of the system with one transmitter 15), and also a central station connected to the central terminal 14 via server 16 17 for receiving messages intended for visual reproduction using the information board 1. In the present example of system implementation, the central station 17 serves to receive messages about the movement of public transport service transport Routed communication from a specialized information center 18 as well as to receive promotional and other messages from a dedicated data center 19.

 Specialized information center 18 in the considered example of the implementation of the inventive system is a dispatch terminal of a subsystem for monitoring routed public transport of a served transport communication. In the simplest case, this dispatch terminal is equipped with the usual means of radio communication between the dispatcher and the drivers of controlled vehicles (not shown in the drawing) according to the type of means used, for example, in [4], as well as telecommunication means providing its communication with the central station 17.

 Specialized information center 19 in this example implementation of the inventive system is a dispatch terminal advertising subsystem. In the simplest case, this dispatch terminal is equipped with conventional telecommunications facilities that provide communication between the dispatcher of the information center 19 as advertisers who want to distribute their messages using the information panel 1 of the system, and with the dispatcher of the central station 17.

 The central station 17 of the claimed system is used to receive messages arriving on the corresponding communication lines from specialized information centers 18 and 19, as well as to enter these messages through the keyboard of the dispatcher’s personal computer (not shown) in the central terminal 14 via server 16. From the point view of the operation of the selective radio call network, the central station 17 is equivalent to one of the operator points (operator terminals) of this network (not shown). In this sense, for the functioning of the server 16 there is no difference between the usual messages for a selective radio call network transmitted to subscribers' pagers from network operator points or information (advertising) messages transmitted from the central station 17 of the claimed system for playback on the information board 1.

 Server 16 in the inventive system serves as hardware for inputting to the central terminal 14 messages coming from a central station 17 remote from it. Similar functions are performed by server 16 with respect to messages coming from remote operator stations - remote operator terminals (in the drawing not shown) included in the selective radio call network, see for example [7, p. 85, fig. 2], [8, p. 47].

 The central terminal 14 of the selective radio call network in the inventive system is a means for receiving messages from server 16, generating a low-frequency signal in a specific format ("paging format", "paging transmission protocol", see, for example, [9]) and issuing it directly to transmitter 15.

 The transmitter 15 of the selective radio call network is used to generate a high-frequency radio signal modulated by a low-frequency “paging format” signal and to broadcast it through the corresponding transmitter antenna.

 The indicator panel 2 of the information board 1 in the considered example of the implementation of the inventive system serves to visually reproduce messages received from specialized information centers 18 and 19, as well as to reproduce information about the current time received from the timer 9.

 The receiver 3 of the selective radio call of the information board 1 is used for targeted reception of signals transmitted over the network of the selective radio call, which carry encoded messages transmitted by specialized information centers 18 and 19. By "reception" here is meant the entire set of operations performed in the receiver 3 over analog radio signals, including their reception, demodulation, analog-to-digital conversion and subsequent storage of received messages in the RAM of the receiver 3 in accordance with the reception channels .

 To implement this function, the selective radio call receiver 3 is multi-channel and has individual receiving subscriber numbers set to receive messages transmitted by the respective information centers, in this implementation example, specialized information centers 18 and 19. These individual subscriber numbers are assigned to the receiver 3 in the list numbers provided for corporate use for the purposes of the claimed system by a selective radio call network, To which the claimed system is a corporate user. Assignment to receiver 3 of an individual group of indicated subscriber numbers is accompanied by its corresponding programming, as a result of which receiver 3 receives, processes and accumulates only those message signals whose addresses presented in the address part of messages correspond to subscriber numbers included in the group of numbers assigned to this receiver.

 Microcomputer 4 information board 1 in the considered example of the implementation of the inventive system serves as a means to convert received messages to a form that allows you to display them on the display panel 2, i.e. to convert messages received over a selective radio call network by receiver 3 and read from its RAM using reader 5, as well as messages received from a stand-alone information sensor - timer 9. By "conversion" here is meant the conversion of the source codes (formats) of received messages to the kind that allows you to play them on the display panel 2 of a certain type. Microcomputer 4 also provides storage of converted signals in its RAM, and in permanent memory, of programs that support the operation of the indicator panel 2. To ensure the interaction of the microcomputer 4 with the indicator panel 2, with its receiver 3 and timer 9, its corresponding "ports" are connected by highways (buses ) data on the one hand - through the switch 7 messages - with the digital output of the receiver 3, formed by the outputs of the reader 5, as well as with the output of the timer 9, and on the other hand, with the control input of the indicator panel 2.

 The reader 5 of the receiver 3 is a means for carrying out an address reading from the RAM of the receiver 3 of the information received through the respective reception channels from specialized information centers, in the considered example of the system implementation - from specialized information centers 18 and 19.

 Switch 7 in this example implementation performs the function of a controller that provides the connection of the input "port" of the microcomputer 4 with either input 6 connected to the output of the reader 5 or input 8 connected to the output of timer 9. Switch 7 is a two-position switching device controlled by coded signals coming from the output of the shaper 12 address codes.

 The stand-alone information sensor - timer 9 in the considered example of the system implementation serves to generate encoded signals corresponding to the current time, for example hours and minutes.

 Shaper 12 address codes is used to form two groups of codes. The first group of codes is codes, under the action of which, with the help of the reader 5, the information on traffic movement received from the specialized information center 18 or the advertising information received from the specialized information center 19 is read from the memory of the receiver 3. The second group of codes is the codes under the action of which the inputs of switch 6 and 8 are switched 7. The codes generated in the driver 12 are synchronized with each other by signals coming from the course of the block 13 synchronization. The time interval between the codes of both groups is set based on the selected relations between the time intervals during which transport information, advertising information and current time information are transmitted from the stand-alone information sensor - timer 9.

 All elements of the claimed system are implemented on devices known from the prior art.

 As a receiver 3 of a selective radio call equipped with a reader 5 of accumulated information, a functionally complete part of an alphanumeric pager, for example, a pager model "Info ADVISOR" or "SCRIPTOR LX4" from "Motorola, Inc.", can be used (USA), which provides the ability to receive messages on at least sixteen channels, as well as the formation of digital output signals in the data format according to the RS 232 standard for interfacing with standard computers. Reading information of a certain channel is carried out in this case under the influence of a control signal, presented in the form of a parallel binary code.

 At the hardware level, the message switch 7 can be made in the form of a multi-channel multiplexer, implemented, for example, on the basis of 555AP4, 555AP5 microcircuits [10].

 As a microcomputer 4, the EMBEDDED MICROPROCESSOR Intel 386 EX microprocessor can be used, which works with standard memory chips, the programming of which is carried out by industrially manufactured devices, the type of which is determined by the type of memory.

 As the indicator panel 2 in the information display 1, known character-synthesizing matrix indicators can be used, where message symbols (letters, numbers, signs) are displayed by combinations of appropriately initiated elementary segments, namely, “ignition” of light-emitting elements, as, for example, in the display [11 ], [12], or by changing the position of the two-color blender, as, for example, in the scoreboard [13], [14]. Management ("initiation") of the elementary segments of the display panels 2 is carried out by connecting them to the power supply through the corresponding keys controlled by the microcomputer 4, while the control inputs of the keys form the control input of the indicator panel 2. Practically among indicators using light-emitting elements, displays of the type “creeping line” (“LED Moving Message Signs”), for example of the type “RH-216CR” from Kingpul, Co. (Taiwan).

As the synchronization unit 13 in the considered example of the system implementation, a shaper of the sequence of video pulses that follow sequentially with the intervals T ₁ , T ₂ , T ₃ , T ₁ , T ₂ , ..., etc., where in the general case T ₁ ≠ T ₂ ≠ T ₃ . The implementation of the unit 13, performing such functions, can be carried out using a pulse generator and pulse counters.

 Shaper 12 address codes in this example implementation of the system can be implemented in the form of a code matrix that converts the input sequence of pulses generated by the generator of block 13 into the output sequence of address codes for switching the reader 5 and switch 7. In this case, microcircuits can be used as encoders, similar, for example, to the K555IV1 ... 3 series microcircuits [15].

 In the form of a pulse generator and a code matrix, a timer 9 can also be implemented.

 The central terminal 14 and the transmitter 15 of the selective radio call network of the claimed system are the well-known “paging terminal” and “paging transmitter” used in paging networks, see, for example, [8, p. 47-48], [7, p. 84-85]. As the central terminal 14 and the transmitter 15, for example, the respective terminals and transmitters of Motorola, Inc. can be used. (USA), in particular a “paging terminal” of the “Motorola M-15” type [8, p. 47], [7, p. 85] and a "paging transmitter" of the type "Motorola GM 300" in the range 146 - 174 MHz [7, p. 84].

 Server 16 of the claimed system is a known one, see, for example, [7, p. 85, fig. 2], [16], a technical tool designed to carry out data exchange in local networks of personal computers, for example, a server of type IBM / 486 with the corresponding network software.

 The central station 17 of the claimed system contains standard hardware, usually used in operator points (operator terminals) of selective radio call networks [7, p. 84 - 85, Fig. 12]. The composition of these tools includes at least a dispatcher’s personal computer (not shown in the drawing), for example, an IBM PC AT 486 type connected to server 16 via a communication line, for example, a telephone, through a corresponding modem (not shown in the drawing). The communication of the dispatcher of the central station 17 with the dispatchers of specialized information centers 18 and 19 is carried out using any standard means of communication — telephone, radiotelephone, facsimile, paging, or other available means of communication.

 The communication between the dispatcher of the specialized information center 19 and the advertisers is carried out using similar means of communication — telephone, radiotelephone, facsimile, paging, or other means of communication available to advertisers.

 The communication of the dispatcher of the specialized information center 18 with the drivers of vehicles is carried out by standard means of radio communication, for example, using a radiotelephone of a cellular communication network.

 The inventive information system for servicing transport communication works as follows.

 Information board 1 is placed on the transport line of the serviced transport communication, namely, in the place of waiting for passengers on public routed transport. In particular, the information board 1 can be placed on the inner panels of the electrified stopping pavilion, using the power supply of the pavilion for its power. In this case, the bulletin board 1 is protected from manifestations of vandalism by special constructive measures (they are not considered within the framework of this application).

 The information board 1 is placed in the coverage area of the transmitter 15 of the used selective radio call network (city or regional paging network), for which the claimed system is a corporate user.

Information board 1 reproduces information received from specialized information centers 18 and 19, as well as from a stand-alone information sensor - timer 9. Moreover, the indicated information on board 1 is changed in accordance with the current information received by the dispatcher of information center 18 from vehicle drivers , in accordance with messages from advertisers received by the dispatcher of the information center 19, as well as in accordance with current time messages received from timer 9. ix information reproduced in the information display 1, also in accordance with the time intervals 13 formed by the block T _1, T _2, T _3. Changing the information on the scoreboard 1 is as follows.

 Advertisers who want to reproduce their advertising or other information using the information board 1 of the claimed system, inform the dispatcher of the information center 19, for example, by phone, the texts of advertising or other messages, the desired time and duration of the playback of these messages. The dispatcher of the information center 19 collects messages from advertisers, systematizes them, processes them, and then informs the dispatcher of the central station 17, for example, by telephone, the message texts and the individual subscriber number of the receiver 3 reception channel, set to receive messages from this information center 19.

 Similarly, the dispatcher of the information center 18 generates texts of messages about the expected time of arrival of the transport to the stop, where the board 1 is installed.

 After checking the authority of the dispatchers of the information centers 18 and 19, the dispatcher of the central station 17 types on the keyboard of his personal computer messages containing the address part reflecting the subscriber number of the receiver 3 reception channel, set to receive messages transmitted by the corresponding information centers 18 and 19, and the content part, reflecting the actual text of the advertising message or message about the time of arrival of the transport. The messages thus formed via the communication channel, for example, via the telephone communication channel, are transmitted to the server 16 through the corresponding modem.

 The server 16 provides the input of these messages to the central terminal 14 of the selective radio call network from a central station 17 remote from it. In the central terminal 14, each of the received messages is encoded accordingly, and then transmitted to the air using the transmitter 15 of the selective radio call network. The operation of the server 16, the central terminal 14 and the transmitter 15 for converting and broadcasting advertising or other messages for the purposes of the claimed system is no different from the work carried out in relation to ordinary messages transmitted by the selective radio call network to the pagers of subscribers, see for example [7] , [8, p. 46-48].

 The broadcasted radio signals carrying encoded advertising messages, as well as information messages about the time of arrival of the vehicle to a stop, are received by the receiver 3 of a selective radio call, provided that the numbers presented in the address parts of the messages correspond to numbers included in the group of subscriber numbers assigned to this the receiver 3. At the same time, the received signal signals are demodulated, their analog-to-digital conversion and subsequent address storage in the RAM of the receiver 3 according to the reception channels.

The address information thus accumulated in the operative memory of the receiver 3 is transmitted to the microcomputer 4 in accordance with the signals generated by the address code generator 12. This operation is carried out using the reader 5 and the switch 7 connected to the driver 12. In this case, the outputs of the driver 12 are sequentially and synchronously in time with gaps T ₁ , T ₂ , T ₃ codes are generated to control the reader 5 and switch 7, which are received respectively at their inputs 11 and 10. In accordance with these codes, for example, during Each of the time intervals T ₁ , messages about the expected time of arrival of the transport are transmitted to the microcomputer 4, and during the time intervals T ₂ , advertising messages are received and stored in the RAM of the receiver 3 in accordance with the established subscriber reception numbers. Moreover, during time intervals T ₁ and T ₂ in switch 7, input 6 is connected to its output. During time intervals T ₃ , messages about the current time from timer 9 are transmitted to microcomputer 4. Moreover, during time intervals T ₃ in switch 7 input 8 is connected to the output.

 Microcomputer 4 carries out the conversion of messages read from the RAM of receiver 3 or from timer 9 to a view that allows them to be displayed on the display panel 2 of panel 1. In this case, the source code (format) of the received messages is converted to a view that allows the message to be displayed on the indicator panel 2 of the board 1, and also store them in the RAM of the microcomputer 4.

 After the specified conversion, each of these three messages is played sequentially in time on the display panel 2 of the board 1, for example, in accordance with the program of functioning recorded in the permanent memory of the microcomputer 4.

As an example of messages played on scoreboard 1, the following conditional example can be presented. For example, during the time interval T ₁ = 6 seconds, a message is displayed about the expected time of arrival of the transport: "The expected time of arrival of the bus (tram, trolley) of the K-th route is X hours Y minutes." During the next time interval T ₂ = 50 seconds, advertising messages are played, for example, messages about goods or services offered by the nearest retail outlets. Over the next T ₃ = 4 seconds, information about the current time is reproduced: "Moscow time M hours L minutes."

 Thus, the ratio of the playback times of the actual advertising messages and information messages in the inventive system for servicing transport communications can reach five to one in favor of advertising while maintaining interest in advertising. This is due to at least two factors. Firstly, advertising messages fill the information vacuum of people who are at the stops of the served transport communication while waiting for transport. Secondly, advertising messages cannot be ignored, as they convey brief messages about the time of arrival of transport, which are of particular interest to waiting people, as well as information about the current time. This significantly increases the system’s ability to increase the perception of visual advertising by the population, as well as the system’s ability to disseminate visual advertising information, diverse in content and large in the number of advertising messages, without losing interest in them. The latter is also associated with the constant updating of the composition of people at public transport stops.

 Thus, it can be seen from the above that the claimed system for servicing transport communication provides a solution to the problem of increasing the efficiency of perception of distributed visual advertising messages in relation to a new contingent of people, namely people who are in public transport waiting areas such as places of public routed transport stops.

 The capabilities of the claimed system for the dissemination of visual information are not limited to the example of its simplest implementation presented on the drawing. So, the claimed system does not impose fundamental restrictions on the number of information boards 1, nor on the number of specialized information centers, nor on the nature and type of information messages distributed using the board 1. In particular, within the framework of the claimed system, it is easily possible to transmit weather forecasts, current exchange rates, information about the services of exchange offices, etc., as well as messages about extraordinary events or other socially significant events distributed by administrative authorities. As additional information generated by autonomous sensors, information of sensors of temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, etc. can be used.

 Thus, it can be seen from the considered that the claimed system for servicing transport communication is industrially applicable, solves the technical problem posed to increase the efficiency of the public's perception of visual advertising information, and can find application in an urban environment with a developed infrastructure in solving various problems related to the regulation of passenger traffic on the serviced the claimed system of transport communication, and with the distribution of advertising or other information on it.
