- a management device of the type of that illustrated in FIGS. 1A to 1D, as a first exemplary embodiment.
- This exemplary embodiment relates to the management of bus stops (or coaches) at the stop areas (or "bus shelters") of the lines they use.
- the invention is not limited to this type of application. It relates generally to the control of a service, achievable by mobile service means at a fixed terminal associated with said service, using a mobile communication station placed near this fixed terminal . It therefore relates to the field of public transport in which stops of vehicles (buses or coaches), which constitute the mobile service means, are indicated by fixed terminals (or bus shelters) on known lines (or routes) (s). However, it also relates to the field of providing information or intelligence to persons equipped with a mobile station, at fixed terminals (or information stations), by personnel equipped with a communication device.
- the users are equipped with a mobile station MS comprising a communication module 1 coupled to a first control module 2 intended to generate primary requests for requests for obtaining service at a bus shelter on a bus route.
- the mobile station MS can therefore be a mobile phone or a personal digital assistant (or PDA). However, in general, it can be any type of mobile equipment equipped with a communication module, such as for example a portable computer.
- the fixed terminals 3 are bus shelters, placed at selected locations on a bus line, for example on sidewalks 4 bordering traffic lanes
- each comprise a communication module 6 coupled to a second control module 7.
- This second control module 7 is arranged so as to analyze each primary request received by the communication module 6 to which it is coupled, and to generate in response to a secondary request comprising data which define a request to perform, at the bus shelter in which it is located, the service defined in the primary request received.
- the buses 8 constitute mobile service means. They are equipped with a communication module 9 coupled to a third control module 10.
- This third control module 10 is arranged so as to analyze each secondary request received by the communication module 9 to which it is coupled, and to generate in reply a message intended to warn the driver of the bus in which he is located that he must stop at the next bus shelter, as we will see below.
- This first embodiment of the invention is more particularly intended for so-called “computer ubiquity” environments or, in other words, for “spatial information systems”. Such systems or environments are described in particular in the articles mentioned below: - "Some computer science issues in ubiquitous Computing, M.Wieser, Communication of the ACM, 36 (7), p.75-83, July 1993;
- the aim of such systems or environments is to achieve the seamless integration of digital environments into the physical world, without the user being aware that he is using the services of the computers of the environment in which he operates.
- the tasks of acquiring the execution environment also called “context”
- specialized systems such as for example GPS type location devices.
- the communication modules 1, 6 and 9 of the mobile stations MS, fixed terminals 3 and buses 8 are preferably of short or medium range. They can therefore be produced so as to operate in radio frequency mode of the type
- Bluetooth or IEEE 802.11 or WiFi
- infrared in particular.
- each communication module has a transmission coverage area adapted to its mode of electrical supply.
- the communication module 1 of the mobile station MS has a first coverage area 11 substantially in the form of a sphere of a few meters in radius
- the communication module 6 of the shelter bus 3 has a second coverage area 12 substantially in the form of a sphere of a few tens to a hundred meters in radius
- the communication module 9 of the bus 8 has a third coverage area 13 substantially in the form of a sphere of a few tens to a hundred meters in radius.
- the envelopes 11 to 13, which illustrate the various coverage areas by way of illustrative example, are not to scale.
- a person equipped with a mobile station MS provided with a communication module 1 and a first control module 2, goes to a bus shelter 3 of a bus line in order to get on the next bus 8 serving this line in the direction A to B.
- the bus shelter corresponds to stop n ° 4 on line n ° 6, in the direction A to B.
- the person can select an operation in the menu of his mobile station MS, or activate a dedicated key of this mobile station, associated with a function managed by the first control module 2 and dedicated to generating a primary request requesting that the next bus 8 stop at the nearest bus shelter 3. It is also conceivable that the selection of operation (s) is carried out by voice command (s), which is particularly well suited to the visually impaired, in particular.
- the selection of the function may possibly require the user to specify the direction in which he wishes to go, in particular so as to take into account the situations in which the person is not on the sidewalk corresponding to the desired direction.
- the first control module 2 When the first control module 2 is informed that the aforementioned function has been selected by the user of the mobile station MS in which it is installed, it generates a primary request which it transmits to the communication module 1 to which it is coupled. In fact, it creates a first spatial value, for example stop>, or ⁇ stop line 6 A to B> when the desired line and direction have been indicated.
- the communication module 1 then generates a message containing this first spatial value which is intended for the bus shelter 3 to which the person is heading.
- the primary request generation function can optionally be configured so as to add to the first spatial value the type of handicap of the requesting person (for example "visually impaired” or "person in a wheelchair”).
- the exchange of messages between the communication modules can also make it possible to report the person's handicap to the second control module 7.
- the second control module 7 when it is not configured for line No. 6 and / or for direction A to B, it sends a message to the first control module 2 of the mobile station MS, via their modules communication 1 and 6 respectively, to indicate that he is not affected by the stop request.
- the second control module 7 of the bus shelter 3 Once in possession of the first spatial value, the second control module 7 of the bus shelter 3 generates a secondary request intended to signal to the next bus 8 of line No. 6, which is heading in the direction A to B , that he must stop to take care of a person.
- This secondary request can also indicate the type of disability of the person to be cared for.
- the second control module 7 creates a second spatial value, for example ⁇ Bus line 6>, or ⁇ Bus line 6 A to B> or even ⁇ Bus line 6 visually impaired> when the person's disability has been reported.
- This second spatial value is then transmitted to the communication module 6 which generates a message which contains it.
- the designated bus shelter 3 is not inside the third emission coverage area 13 of a bus 8, as illustrated in FIG. 1B, no exchange can take place between their respective communication modules 9 and 6.
- their communication modules can exchange messages allowing to signal to the third control module 10 that a person, whose type of handicap is possibly reported, requires the stop of the bus 8, in which it is located, at the level of the next bus shelter 3 of the line n ° 6.
- the third control module 10 then sends a message to the on-board computer of the bus 8, signaling that it is necessary to stop at the next bus shelter 3 on line n ° 6 to take charge of a person (possibly disabled).
- Signaling can be done by any known means, such as by displaying the message on a screen, or by lighting a dedicated indicator light.
- the message also has the effect of activating the stop request function accessible to the passengers of the bus 8.
- the third control module 10 when it is not configured to the line 6 and / or to the direction A to B, it sends a message to the second control module 7 of the bus shelter 3 via their respective communication modules 9 and 6, to indicate to him that he is not concerned by the stop request.
- Secondary request immobilizes his bus 8, as illustrated in FIG. 1D. If the person is disabled, and a specific entrance or accommodation is provided, the driver can place his bus so that the entrance or accommodation is placed in front of the person who requested the 'stop.
- the user's mobile communication station MS can be produced in the form of a box dedicated specifically to the application. Consequently, even if it may prove practical to integrate the communication module 1 and the first control module 2 in a mobile telephone or a PDA (for example), this is in no way compulsory.
- a mobile station MS of mobile phone, PDA or laptop type may however be essential when the second control module 7, located in a fixed terminal 3 (here a bus shelter), is configured so as to deliver information to said mobile station .
- the second control module 7 can in fact be arranged so as to determine the time necessary for the next bus 8, capable of providing the required service, to reach the level of the bus shelter 3. It can for example do so in collaboration with a central server which knows the positions of all the buses on the same line with relative precision, as well as possibly the traffic information.
- a central server which knows the positions of all the buses on the same line with relative precision, as well as possibly the traffic information.
- all bus shelters 3 are equipped with a radio communication module coupled to the second control module 7, and on the other hand, that all buses 8 are equipped with a position determination device, such as for example a GPS beacon, possibly coupled to a radio communication module.
- the second control module 7 can also be arranged so as to deliver to the mobile stations MS, via their respective communication modules 6 and 1, advertising information and / or data representative of addresses of Internet sites in which information can be obtained.
- advertising information can supplement the advertisements displayed on the walls of the bus shelter.
- the address data may offer the user access to the information site of the company which manages the transport line or to the sites of companies whose products and / or brands and / or names are displayed on the walls of the bus shelter 3.
- the second control module 7 can also be arranged so as to deliver to the mobile stations MS, via their respective communication modules 6 and 1, information linked to the city, such as for example district maps, practical or cultural municipal information. , and the like.
- All this information can be spontaneously and locally updated and / or automated by a remote information server.
- Spontaneous and local updating is more specifically linked to information concerning the advertisements carried by bus shelters. It can be carried out by the people who come to replace the advertisements, for example using a terminal provided with a Bluetooth or WiFi type communication interface and capable of communicating with the control module 7 installed in the terminal.
- the second control module 7 can, for example, implement the methods described in patent documents FR 2 783 996 and FR 2 809 263, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the remote communication of information requires coupling the second control module 7 to a telephone communication module connected to a telephone network, preferably of the cellular type (for example of the GSM / GPRS type or
- MS mobile stations To be able to access websites in real time, MS mobile stations must be mobile equipment equipped with a navigation module, as is particularly the case for GSM / GPRS or UMTS phones. However, it is also possible to access the sites whose addresses have been provided by the second control module in deferred mode. To do this, it suffices for the user to save the addresses in the memory of his mobile station MS.
- This "deferred" solution in which the addresses are stored for later access, corresponds more particularly to PDAs.
- the communication modules 1, 6 and 9, and the first 2, second 7 and third 10 control modules installed respectively in the mobile stations MS, the fixed terminals 3 and the buses 8 (or mobile service means ) constitute a first example of a management device according to the invention.
- the control modules 2, 7 and 10 of the mobile stations MS, fixed terminals (or bus shelter) 3 and bus 8 can be installed in non-dedicated communication terminals, such as for example PDAs or mobile phones, but also in dedicated communication boxes.
- non-dedicated communication terminals such as for example PDAs or mobile phones
- dedicated communication boxes such as "simplified" PDAs devoid of screen, but preferably equipped with voice synthesis means.
- the dedicated terminal or box on board a bus or located in a bus shelter (or terminal) does not need to include display means.
- an indicator light may suffice; the display means are only really useful when one wishes to alert the driver using messages (which can be used to alert him to the type of disability of the person requesting the stop).
- these communication terminals or boxes can, for example, be fitted with Bluetooth or WiFi (or IEEE 802.11) type communication modules. Since Bluetooth type communication modules are of short range, they consume little energy. This therefore makes them well suited to the terminals (or dedicated boxes) of users (or MS mobile stations).
- WiFi type communication modules provide a relatively large range, they are well suited to dedicated terminals or boxes on board buses or located in bus shelters (or terminals). It is clear that in the event that mobile stations and buses are not equipped with the same types of means of communication, the bus shelter (or terminal) must be equipped with both types of means of communication so as to be able to interact with mobile stations and buses.
- any type of computer ubiquity environment or any type of spatial information system known to those skilled in the art can be envisaged to allow the implementation of the invention in the context of this. first example. However, it is interesting to use the method described below, also called SPREAD (for "Spatial Programming Environment for Ambient Computing Design").
- a spatial information system consists of a set of physical entities (or “electronic” representatives on board the entities) which each occupy a physical space of limited volume (or area of broadcast coverage).
- physical entity is meant, for example with reference to the aforementioned application, a fixed terminal or a mobile station or even a bus.
- Each of these entities is associated with a set of information, so that each point of the physical space is included in a possibly empty set of volumes associated with different entities.
- Physical (volume) space thus constitutes the global memory of the architecture of the spatial information system, which stores accessible information.
- a process implanted in a mobile computer is therefore associated with a point in F physical space.
- the set of information, also called context, which is accessible to this process is therefore characterized by the set of entities for which the point of the space with which it is associated belongs to the set of associated volumes.
- the context therefore varies at each instant according to the mobility of the processes (and therefore of the entities) and / or of a reorganization of the global memory due to an explicit displacement of the "containers" of the information.
- the (physical) scope of the information held by each entity depends on the coverage area of its communication module.
- a mechanism is used to select the information associated with the different entities according to their respective types. Preferably, this is done using "tuples” and “tuples spaces” introduced by the Linda model.
- any information associated with an entity is characterized by a "tuple” which consists of a typed sequence of information.
- the spatial value ⁇ "Bus", 6, (17,30)> defines a tuple whose first element is an integer corresponding to the bus chain, the second element is an integer corresponding to number of the bus line, and the third element is a doublet of integers corresponding to the estimated time of passage of the bus at the next bus shelter.
- the processes are implicitly synchronized with the current state of the data.
- the sets of tuples reflect the logical state of the physical environment which allows a spatial programming in which the structure and the flow control of the information system are directly dependent on the physical entities and the spatial relationships between these physical entities.
- a model consists of a template in which each element is either a type (which means that the element corresponds to all the values taken by the specified type), or a value
- a first operation called, for example, "out (tuple)” allows to insert (or publish) a new tuple in the space of the tuples of an entity considered.
- the range of this tuple obviously depends on the physical volume (or coverage area) occupied by the entity that issues it. In other words, the tuple fills the physical space (or coverage area) that surrounds the entity that issued it.
- a second operation called, for example, "rd (pattern)” allows to return, without destroying it, a tuple corresponding to the pattern (or model) passed in the form of parameters. The range of this returned tuple depends of course on the physical volume (or coverage area) occupied by the entity that issues it.
- the tuple is not removed from the tuples space; it is simply "read” (or “read”). Furthermore, when several tuples correspond to a pattern, each of these tuples can be returned. On the other hand, when no tuple does not correspond to the model, the process is blocked.
- a third operation called, for example, "capture (pattern)" returns a set of tuples that match the specified pattern (or pattern).
- the range of this set of returned tuples depends of course on the physical volume (or coverage area) occupied by the entity that issues it.
- This operation is a “multiple” version of the "rd (pattern)” operation. Therefore, when no tuple matches the pattern, the process hangs.
- a fourth operation called, for example, "drop (tuple)” allows the entity that previously inserted (or published) a tuple to remove it from the corresponding tuples space.
- the rd (pattern) and capture (pattern) operations are preferably performed on all the tuples spaces of the context of the process which executes them.
- a first step the user makes a stop request with his mobile station MS.
- the control module 2 of the mobile station MS initiates a first action A1 which consists in carrying out for example the operation out ⁇ "p-stop", i> with a view to triggering, on the one hand, a synchronous action which continues at the level of a fifth action A5, and on the other hand an asynchronous action which ends at the level of a sixth action A6, as will be seen below.
- a bus shelter 3 takes into account the user's request. This requires that a double condition (or situation) be fulfilled: the bus shelter 3 must be included in the transmission coverage area 11 of the user's mobile station MS and the control module 2 of the station mobile MS must have published the tuple ⁇ "p-stop", i>. If this is the case, the control module 7 of the bus shelter 3 initiates an action A2 which consists in perform for example the following three operations rd ( ⁇ "p-stop", i>), then drop ( ⁇ "ok- start", i>), and finally out ( ⁇ "bus shelter-stop", i>) . This triggers a synchronous action which continues at the level of an eighth A8 action.
- Each tuple ⁇ "p-stop", i> gives rise to an out operation ( ⁇ "bus shelter-stop", i>) by the bus shelter 3 when the spatial configuration of the entities (MS mobile station and bus shelter 3 ) corresponds to the double condition described (or situation).
- a bus 8i approaches bus shelter 3 and takes into account the request for this bus shelter 3. This requires that a double condition (or situation) be fulfilled: bus 8i must be included in the broadcast coverage area 12 of the bus shelter
- control module 10 of the bus 8i initiates a synchronous action A3 which consists in performing, for example, the following three actions rd ( ⁇ "bus-stop-stop", i>), which results in the notification to the driver of a message asking him to mark the next stop, then rd ( ⁇ "ok-departure", i>), and finally drop ( ⁇ "departure", i>).
- This A3 action loops infinitely on itself.
- control module 2 of the mobile station MS of the user initiates a synchronous action A5 which consists in carrying out for example the operations rd ( ⁇ "go up", i>) and drop ( ⁇ "p-stop", i >).
- This action A5 then continues with a new action A1.
- control module 2 of the user's mobile station MS initiates an asynchronous action A6 which consists in performing the operation rd ( ⁇ "go up", i>) which triggers, for example, either the display of a message on the screen of his mobile station MS, that is to say the emission of an audible message signaling that he can board the bus 8i because his door is now open.
- asynchronous action Al ends the asynchronous action Al.
- the bus 8i leaves the bus shelter 3. This requires that a double condition (or situation) is fulfilled: the bus shelter 3 must be included in the transmission coverage area 13 of the bus 8i and the control module 10 of the bus 8i must have published the tuple ⁇ "start", i>. If this is the case, the control module 10 of the bus 8i initiates a synchronous action A7 which consists in carrying out for example the following two operations out ( ⁇ "start", i>) and drop ( ⁇ "go up", i>) . This A7 action loops infinitely on itself.
- This action A8 then continues with a new action A2.
- the addressing mechanisms calling on the various operations, are installed in the control modules 2, 7 and 10 of the mobile stations MS, fixed terminals (or shelter -bus) 3 and bus 8.
- FIGS. 2A and 2B describe a second example of implementation of the invention, still within the framework of a non-limiting application, for the management of bus stops (or coaches) at the level of dedicated stop zones (or "bus shelters") for the lines they use.
- bus stops or coaches
- FIGS. 1A to 1D the elements which are functionally equivalent or identical to those described in the first exemplary embodiment, illustrated in FIGS. 1A to 1D, bear the same references.
- the data exchanges must be carried out by radio waves via a communications network. Consequently, the first 1, second 15 and third 9 communication modules, respectively located in the mobile stations MS, the server S and the buses 8, are all of the radio type. This implementation is therefore particularly well suited to mobile stations MS of the mobile equipment type equipped with a radio communication module, such as for example mobile telephones.
- the first control module 1 When the first control module 1 is informed that the above-mentioned function has been selected by the user of the mobile station MS in which it is installed, it generates a primary request which it transmits to the radio communication module 1. The communication module communication 1 then generates a radio message representative of this primary request intended for the server S.
- the server must know the geographical position of the bus shelter 3 to which the person making the primary request is going, as well as the number of the bus line (and possibly the direction) that wishes to borrow the applicant. To do this, two solutions can be envisaged.
- the first solution consists in providing the bus shelter 3 with an identifier inscribed on one of its walls, or on a dedicated medium, which defines the number of the line it serves and its number within this line. , as well as possibly the direction to which it belongs.
- the person selects the stop request function he must also provide the first control module 2 of his mobile station MS with the identifier of the bus shelter where he wishes to be taken care of. This can be done by typing using the keyboard of the MS mobile station, or orally, possibly using a voice command.
- the identifier of the bus shelter 3 is then integrated into the primary request which is then transmitted to the server S by the communication module 1.
- the second control module 14 of the server S extracts the identifier therefrom to determine in a correspondence table identifier / position / line / direction the geographic position of the bus shelter 3 and the line and direction it serves.
- the second solution consists in providing each mobile station MS with a position determination device, such as for example a GPS module, coupled to the radio communication module 1.
- a position determination device such as for example a GPS module
- the first control module 2 of its mobile station MS interrogates the position determination module to obtain its position and integrate it into the primary request which is then transmitted to the server S by the commumcation module 1.
- the user must here supply the first control module 2 with the number of the line (and possibly the direction) that he wishes to use. This can be done by typing using the keyboard on the MS mobile station, or orally, possibly using a voice command.
- the second control module 14 of the server S extracts the line number and possibly the direction) and the position of the requesting mobile station, then searches in a table of bus shelter positions the geographic position of the bus shelter 3 which is closest to that of the mobile station MS, possibly taking account of the directional information (A to B).
- the second control module 14 of the server S searches among the buses 8 of the designated line, here the n ° 6 , the one closest to this bus shelter. To do this, all the buses 8 must be equipped with a position determination device 16, such as for example a GPS module, coupled to the radio communication module 1.
- a position determination device 16 such as for example a GPS module
- the third control module 14 therefore only has to interrogate the management module 17 in order to know the positions of the buses of line n ° 6 which are heading in the direction A to B (and which are therefore capable of providing the service required by the user). Then, it compares these positions with the position of the designated bus shelter 3 so as to determine the closest bus 8.
- the third control module 14 when the buses 8 deliver their positions on request, the third control module 14 must address to each bus of the designated line a request for supply of position. This can for example be done using SMS type messages. On receipt of all the positions of the buses 8 of the designated line, which are heading in the direction A to B, the third control module 14 therefore has only to compare them with the position of the bus shelter 3 designated so as to determine the nearest bus.
- control module 14 Once the control module 14 has determined the bus 8 closest to the designated bus shelter 3, it generates a secondary request intended to signal to this bus 8 that it must stop to pick up a person. This secondary request can also indicate the type of disability of the person to be cared for. It is transmitted to the communication module 15 which generates a message, for example of the SMS type, intended for the determined bus 8.
- the third control module 10 is installed in a dedicated box installed on the dashboard of the bus 8 and equipped with signaling equipment, such as a warning lamp.
- signaling equipment such as a warning lamp.
- the third control module 10 orders the warning lamp to be switched on so as to signal to the bus driver that he must stop at the next bus shelter 3 on the line. n ° 6 to take care of a person (possibly disabled).
- the third control module 10 on receipt of the message, sends a message to the on-board computer of the bus 8 to indicate that it must stop at the next bus shelter 3 on line no. 6 to care for a person (possibly disabled).
- the signaling can be carried out by any known means, such as for example by displaying the message on a screen, or by illuminating a dedicated indicator light.
- the message also has the effect of activating the stop request function accessible to the passengers of the bus 8.
- the driver of the bus 8 alerted by the "secondary request", immobilizes his bus 8, as illustrated in FIG. 2B. If the person is disabled, and a specific entrance or accommodation is provided, the driver can place his bus so that the entrance or accommodation is placed in front of the person who requested the 'stop.
- the server S the communication modules 1, 15 and 9, the first 2, second 14 and third 10 control modules installed respectively in the mobile stations MS, the server S and the buses 8 (or mobile service means), and the position determination devices
- the invention also relates to a method for managing data between mobile stations of users equipped with a communication module, fixed terminals associated with at least one service, and a multiplicity of mobile service means equipped with a communication module. communication and able to provide said service.
- a primary request is generated using a mobile user station comprising data which define a request for obtaining a chosen service (such as for example F stop of 'a bus) at a terminal (for example arranged in the form of a bus shelter or part of a bus shelter) installed near the mobile station and associated with the requested service,
- a chosen service such as for example F stop of 'a bus
- a secondary request is generated comprising data which define a request to carry out the service chosen at the terminal near the mobile station
- step (c) in which the secondary request is received at the level of the mobile service means closest to the designated terminal, so that it stops at this terminal and provides the service requested by the user of the mobile station that issued the primary request.
- This method can be, in particular, implemented in the context of a computer ubiquity environment (or of a spatial information system) in which the exchange of messages is carried out by proximity interactions, without determination of position of the different entities concerned, but also in a more traditional framework based on the exchange of data by radio waves via a communications network, with determination of the positions of at least part of the different entities concerned.
