Description

 The invention relates to computing, in particular to means for processing and displaying information, and can be used to create information exchange systems with moving objects of various types.

 Known technical means of providing road transport advertising, described in the application for the invention N 95104127, published. 12/27/96 by class G 09 F 19/22, in which the projection of the image on the plane of the window of the car is carried out along the path of movement of the laser or optical pulsed projection systems. This tool is rather cumbersome and complicated, moreover, it is ineffective due to the short duration of the presentation of information, which does not allow to obtain a technical result.

 Closest to this system in terms of technical nature and technical result achieved is the reference information system for US patent N 6026375, published. 02.15.2000, class G 06 F 17/60, which allows using the central station equipped with a processor and a memory unit to transmit advertising reference information to a number of consumers located in the mobile space, for which each consumer uses an individual mobile module containing a processor, memory unit and means of communication of the mobile module with a central station.

 The disadvantage of this system is the narrow circle of its consumers, which limits the scope and its functionality, which does not allow to obtain a technical result characteristic of this system.

 The technical result from the use of this system is to ensure multi-stage collection and analysis of information about the parameters and condition of objects, without providing the required data and commands to them, which creates the optimality and efficiency of information exchange with many groups of mobile information posts.

 The indicated properties of this system are achieved in all cases to which the requested object of legal protection extends, namely by the fact that in a known system containing a central processor connected by address and control outputs to the corresponding inputs of the memory unit, and information posts located on the corresponding moving objects , according to the invention, groups of state analyzers of objects are introduced, each of which contains a peripheral processor connected by information exchange inputs / outputs and through the information and control bus to the corresponding inputs and outputs of the central processor, connected via the information bus to the corresponding inputs and outputs of the memory unit, an information storage device, the address and control inputs of which are directly connected to the corresponding outputs of the peripheral processor, and through one exchange bus to the corresponding inputs and outputs of the peripheral processor, an electro-optical and electro-acoustic conversion unit, connected by an input to the corresponding the information output of the peripheral processor, and the transceiver block, the inputs / outputs of which are connected via another exchange bus to the corresponding inputs and outputs of the peripheral processor, and the information post contains transceivers installed with the possibility of contactless communication with the corresponding sensors of the transceiver block of the state analyzers of objects and connected by one exchange buses with the first inputs and outputs of the information exchanger, information storage, address and control whose inputs are directly, and the inputs and outputs are connected via the other exchange bus to the corresponding outputs and second inputs and outputs of the information exchanger, an analog-to-digital converter, the outputs of which are connected to the corresponding parameter input of the information exchanger, a parameter input block, the outputs of which are connected to the corresponding analog inputs - a digital converter, and an information presentation unit, the inputs of which are connected to the corresponding data exchanger data outputs.

 Signs characterizing the invention in particular cases, specific forms of execution and under special conditions of use are not considered.

 There is a causal relationship between the set of essential features of this system and the obtained technical result, since the set of features set forth in the distinctive part of the formula is not revealed in any of the analogues, and a positive quality - increased efficiency and wide functional and operational capabilities of the system are achieved only by joint use of all without exception, the signs of the restrictive and distinctive parts of the claims.

 The proposed system is schematically shown in the drawing and contains a central processor 1, a memory unit 2, an electro-optical transducer 3, an electro-acoustic transducer 4, an operator console 5, a group of 12 analyzers 6 of object states, each of which contains a peripheral processor 7, an information storage device 8, an electro-optical unit 9 and electro-acoustic conversion, the optoelectric transducer 10 and the transceiver unit 11, as well as information posts 21, each of which contains transceivers 13, 14, an information exchanger 15, an information storage device 16, a parameter input unit 17, an analog-to-digital converter 18, an information presentation unit 19, and an optoelectric converter 20 with the circuit connections described above and in the claims.

 The description of the system in statics is due only to the combination of nodes and blocks and their functional relationships described above.

 The multiprocessor system for information exchange with moving objects shown in the drawing works as follows, for example, by placing posts 21 on trains, and analyzers 6 at subway stations, where each transport route, platform, line has its own analyzer 6 from group 12 belonging to this station, having both one and several lines.

 Under normal conditions (in the absence of critical or emergency situations in any train carriage that impede or even impede the safe transport of passengers), the system performs its main function - providing the highest possible normal conditions, amenities and services, including passenger service with audiovisual information for reference, advertising, educational, entertainment, etc. character.

 The aforesaid is achieved by the following system operation order.

 The drives 8 in the analyzers 6 through the interconnected processors 1 and 7 from block 2 or from their own storage media are filled with data that are "reloaded" in the future to drives 16 of the corresponding posts 21 (objects, trains) located at this metro station according to the "grid programming" algorithm "(see below, in the example), carried out and regulated by the processor 7 of the corresponding analyzer 6. When a particular metro train carries out a flight along a given metro route (line) from the starting station to the end oh passengers-viewers in spans (tunnels) unit 19 on command of the exchanger 15 from the accumulator 16, the above information is presented in audio-visual form. The sound and brightness levels of the data presented in this car are regulated by the exchanger processor 15 based on the signals of the noise and light sensors of the block 17 located in the same car and in accordance with the signals of the transducer 18. In any case, in normal conditions and in “tolerant” microclimate conditions, the car passengers in the metro train (mobile object), station 21 is provided with information that is useful to most, regulated by the algorithm of the exchanger 15 based on the recommendations set out below, in the example. When boarding and disembarking passengers at the metro station, the information of the drive 16 can be presented by the block 19 without sound, for example, in a creeping line mode. In this case, the drives 8 and 16 along the “induced bridge” by the transceivers of blocks 11 and 13 and using the processor 7 and the processor in the exchanger 15 exchange the corresponding information.

 If normal conditions and conditions are violated in a subway train car according to the signals of its sensors (temperature, humidity, smoke, gas contamination, alarm, etc.), the exchanger 15 located in the car or in the driver’s cab or common for of the whole composition, makes an appropriate decision both to suspend the audio-visual broadcasting, and to present the appropriate commands and recommendations to passengers and the train driver. In this case, a message is generated about the situation, which is transmitted through the transceiver 13 or 14 (depending on the direction of the train) and block 11 to the processor 7 while standing at the next metro station along the train route.

 Operational control of the movement of trains along the entire metro line is carried out by the operator from the remote control 5 on the basis of information from converters 3, 4 that give him situation signals at a specific facility - at station 21 (metro train carriage), including critical and / or alarming, emergency situations. To fix a specific acoustic-visual situation at stations and in subway cars, transducers 10, 20 made using video equipment can be provided.

 Industrial operational applicability. This system has improved technical and economic indicators and advantages due to its work described above, and therefore can be effectively used in transport, mainly in the subway.

Example
The work of television in trains and subway stations has two features that determine the structure of the temporary “grid” and the style of the program.

 Firstly, it is the isolation of the workspace, which creates a clear, though subconscious, sensation of a kind of test that must be endured, experienced in order to achieve the goal. This is especially noticeable when the metro train “flies” from the tunnel to the open flyover and, conversely, “rushes into the darkness of the underground gallery” from a sunny day.

 Secondly, it is a kind of inevitability of viewing. In the train car, a spectator-passenger, surrounded by television screens, is literally “sentenced” to watch.

 These circumstances make the influence of underground television (Metro-TV) especially strong. Skillfully prepared television program, figuratively speaking, can attract attention like light at the end of the tunnel, and a rude and aggressive one will cause a desire to launch a heavy object into the screen.

 Thus, the main task of Metro-TV is to create an atmosphere of goodwill and comfort for passengers of the "subway". For this, the principle of optimism, travel, communication with the outside world and rhythm, mode, life, must be laid at the basis of "grid" programming.

 A television program organized according to these principles should be perceived by the viewer-passenger as a kind of tour of the city, although under the city, in fact.

 The content of the TV show should be information about everything that is located on the surface under which this metro line runs: about trade and cultural values, goods and services, medical and administrative institutions, historical and cultural monuments, as well as other information necessary for guests and residents capital or other major city. The usual advertising familiar to us from the "big" TV should be included in these programs carefully, in compliance with the measure. It is unlikely that the viewer-passenger, already tired of aggressive and loud advertising such as “pads” and “chewing gum”, up there, will be glad to meet her underground, on the way to work. Social advertising and information from the city authorities should also be compiled taking into account these circumstances.

 The attractiveness of the TV show significantly increases the attachment of the image to open spaces: city landscapes, bird's-eye views of the capital, Moscow in winter and summer, under snow and rain, city streets and monuments - these are the most suitable backgrounds for urban information and commercial advertising underground.

 A major problem for Metro-TV are train stops at stations. During this period of time, messages are being made about opening doors, station names, about switching to other lines, etc. If at this moment the broadcasting of the programs is completely turned off, then all the underground broadcasting will become an absurd quilt, where after every 2 - 3 minutes of driving in the tunnel, the image and sound are turned off for 40 - 60 seconds. Stopping the shot is also unacceptable, especially at the time of interviews or direct speeches of representatives of the city government: we know with what ridiculous grimaces people are frozen in the freeze frame.

 It is advisable to accompany oral TV information with subtitles, creeping line, etc. Then at stops you can remove the sound, leaving the image with the accompanying captions.

 The coordinates of the "grid" broadcast should be the route of movement and time of day. The change in the audience during the day should largely determine the composition of information in the morning, afternoon and evening blocks. On weekends and holidays, information should also be carried out on a special "grid", contain more entertaining subjects, texts of city theater and film information, a message about today's exhibitions and festivities.

 It is necessary to cultivate the originality of television programs on different lines, using for each of them its own musical screensavers, its own “beats”, “caps” and even the names of some programs. So, the news can be "Tagan", "Arbat", "Paris". Passing to another line, the passenger-spectator should feel this on the TV screen. At the same time, citywide programs must maintain emphasized unity.

 The information plot usually does not exceed two minutes, most often it lasts 60 - 100 s. Therefore, it is advisable to put them in a “grid” so that the information falls into the middle of the haul between stops. Framing such subjects can be "pure" advertising, musical and entertaining materials: the historical calendar of Moscow, astrological forecasts and weather forecasts. In the corner of the screen, it is advisable to have a calendar and a chronometer.

 It’s good to have your own entertaining broadcasting in the form of short comic stories, a ditties contest, video jokes that any passenger can sing or tell at some stations (addresses on the screen). In the morning blocks of the program there can be a heading “Dream Interpretation” with the interpretation of words, in the evening - entertaining “Nightlife” or “How did the day go?”.

 It is also advisable to use the Metro-TV to make the subway less faceless, more homely and close. To do this, you can enter into the "grid" a ritual of greeting and farewell to the driver’s passengers, as is customary in civil aviation, metro days can also take root with feedback between the metro administration and passengers through a specific telephone at the metro station.

 These are just the main and most obvious features of television broadcasting on the subway lines, as well as just some of the possible types of television production. Of course, in the process of living practice, new ideas will appear, new problems will arise. But for this it is necessary to begin an effective and comprehensive preparation for this living practice. To broadcast.
