Description

Intelligent data playback method and system, and related computer programs product

The present invention relates to a data playing method and system, and more particularly to a method and system for providing asynchronous data playback to individual electronic devices at a specific time or place.

In order to increase the quality of group tours or visits, it is necessary to guide and explain the members of the group in a timely manner. Conventionally, a one-to-many wireless navigation device can be used for conducting navigation work within a group. For example, when a group visits a museum, the guide can wear a guide, and each member can wear a guide. The guide can use the navigation machine to speak the navigation content, and the navigation machine can synchronously and wirelessly transmit the navigation content to each navigation device.

However, since the conventional one-to-many navigation device transmits the navigation content to each navigation device synchronously, these members will not be able to fully understand the navigation content if some members have not yet arrived at a specific location/location. And this tour content cannot be listened to again. For example, when a guide navigates a painting, because the number of people who visit the painting at the same time may be so large that some members cannot clearly see the painting, these members may not fully understand the navigation. When these members can clearly see the painting, the guide may be guiding the other painting. Since the navigation content cannot be replayed, the effectiveness of the navigation will be greatly reduced once the tour guides of the members and the guides fall.

On the other hand, since the navigation equipment must be rented, the custodian responsibility and related expenses of the navigation equipment become the cost of tourism. In recent years, portable devices, such as smart phones, tablets, or wearable devices, have become more sophisticated and powerful. For example, a portable device can have network connectivity. Users can use the portable device to connect to the Internet anytime, anywhere to browse the Internet. Due to the convenience of these devices and their functions, It also makes these devices one of the must-have items for modern people, and they are frequently used in life anytime, anywhere. Proper use of portable devices for navigation operations will significantly reduce the associated responsibilities and costs associated with conventional navigation devices.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a smart data playing method and system, wherein a method and system for asynchronous data playback can be provided for an individual electronic device at a specific time or place.
