本发明涉及一种用于发布信息的系统。The invention relates to a system for distributing information.
背景技术Background technique
这样的系统典型地包括至少一个主发布器和控制单元,所述至少一个主发布器能够发布信息,所述控制单元能够使主发布器传送从所选的存储数据提取的所选信息。Such a system typically comprises at least one master publisher capable of publishing information and a control unit capable of causing the master publisher to transmit selected information extracted from selected stored data.
已知在例如火车站或机场中提供这种类型的系统。当将以视觉形式发布信息时,这些系统常常包括作为主发布器的视频屏幕或具有快门的板。当将以听觉形式提供信息时,主发布器采取广播声音通告的扬声器系统的形式。而且,这种类型的系统常常是冗余的,它们包括扬声器系统和视频屏幕。It is known to provide systems of this type eg in railway stations or airports. When the information is to be distributed in visual form, these systems often include a video screen or a board with shutters as the main publisher. When the information is to be provided in audible form, the main publisher takes the form of a speaker system broadcasting audible announcements. Also, systems of this type are often redundant, and they include speaker systems and video screens.
所述信息具体涉及关于运输装置的到达和出发的时间表,在火车站的情况下,所述信息为关于火车开出站台和到达站台的信息,或者在机场系统的情况下,所述信息为关于航班的目的地或出发地的信息。Said information relates in particular to timetables concerning the arrival and departure of transport means, in the case of railway stations, information on departures and arrivals of trains from and to platforms, or in the case of airport systems, information on Information about the destination or origin of a flight.
将构成这个信息的数据以有组织的方式存储在存储器中,并且可根据取决于第一关键值的至少一个第一标准来选择该数据。The data constituting this information are stored in an organized manner in the memory and can be selected according to at least one first criterion depending on the first key value.
例如,为了显示例如在特定的日子到达车站或者开出车站的所有火车,第一标准可以是日期标准,第一关键值可以是日子。For example, in order to display all the trains that arrive at the station or leave the station on a specific day, the first criterion may be the date criterion and the first key value may be the day.
以更精细的方式,第一标准可以是定义从当前时间开始的时间片段(例如两个小时)的时间表标准,所述当前时间被取作关键值。因而,显示在两个小时内离开机场终点或到达那里的所有航班。In a more refined manner, the first criterion may be a schedule criterion defining a time slice (eg two hours) from the current time, which is taken as a key value. Thus, all flights departing from the airport terminal or arriving there within two hours are displayed.
有时,特别是在作为外国地方的旅游中转站的位置中,用诸如英语的外语提供信息,所述位置诸如机场或某些车站。更频繁的是,当以视觉形式给出信息时,通过附加的发布设施或屏幕发布这个信息,从而可在一个屏幕上获得法语的相同信息,而在相邻的屏幕上获得英语的相同信息。当信息为音频形式时,通过用两种语言轮流定时发布通告来提供这个发布。Information is sometimes provided in a foreign language such as English, particularly in locations serving as tourist transit points in foreign places, such as airports or certain stations. More frequently, when information is given in visual form, this information is distributed through additional distribution facilities or screens, so that the same information is available in French on one screen and in English on an adjacent screen. When the information is in audio form, this distribution is provided through timed announcements in both languages alternately.
除了由系统复制提供的这个布置产生的成本和由这个轮流声音发布所引起的厌恶(听不见或听错的时间表、由通告的重复引起的听众疲劳等)之外,所发布的信息不总是符合所有的公众。In addition to the cost incurred by this arrangement provided by systematic duplication and the annoyance caused by this rotational sound release (inaudible or misheard schedules, listener fatigue caused by the repetition of announcements, etc.), the disseminated information is not always is compliant with all public.
在上述示例中,一些旅行者不会讲英语或法语,而且无论信息是听觉形式还是视觉形式,他们都不能够理解如此发布的信息。In the above example, some travelers do not speak English or French, and they are unable to understand the information so posted, whether the information is in auditory or visual form.
当然,对于以上所提及的系统,增加屏幕和口头通告以适合于每个可能的旅行者的特定情况是不可行的。Of course, with the systems mentioned above, it is not feasible to add on-screen and verbal announcements to suit the particular situation of each potential traveler.
而且,以例如特定语言的形式提供主要的信息发布是有用的,所述特定语言满足大多数旅行者,或者可替换地,满足典型的旅行者(例如,在法国机场中讲法语的旅行者)。Also, it would be useful to provide the primary information publication, e.g. in a specific language that satisfies most travelers, or alternatively, a typical traveler (e.g., a French-speaking traveler in a French airport) .
更一般地,用于发布信息的系统存在这样的问题,即,要使所有的公众能访问信息,同时在无需使用基于增加发布设施的昂贵复杂的解决方案的情况下迎合该公众内的可能的个人情况。More generally, systems for distributing information present the problem of making information accessible to all the public while catering to possible Personal situation.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
图1所示的信息发布系统1包括主发布器IDISP 3和控制单元CTRL 5,主发布器IDISP 3能够发出信息,连接主发布器IDISP 3和控制单元CTRL 5以交换控制信号。发布器IDISP 3可采取能够发出视觉信息的公共显示装置的形式,所述公共显示装置例如液晶屏幕、等离子体屏幕或快门类型的信息板。这里,表述“视觉信息”指图像、视频和/或文本形式的信息。The
可替换地,或者另外,发布器IDISP 3可包括公共声音系统,例如提供有扬声器的类型的公共声音系统。Alternatively, or in addition, the publisher IDISP 3 may comprise a public sound system, for example of the type provided with loudspeakers.
发布器IDISP 3和控制单元CTRL 5之间的连接可以是诸如网线的有线类型或者是使用例如WIFI或蓝牙类型的短距离无线电传输的无线类型。这个连接还可以更复杂,可使用当前可利用的某些通信技术,诸如互联网。The connection between the publisher IDISP 3 and the control unit CTRL 5 can be of the wired type such as a network cable or of the wireless type using short-range radio transmission of the WIFI or Bluetooth type, for example. This connection can also be more complex, using some of the communication technologies currently available, such as the Internet.
发布器IDISP 3自身可包括可以相同或者可以不相同的多个发布器的网络。因而,发布器IDISP 3可包括连接至单元CTRL 5的两个等离子体屏幕和扬声器。The publisher IDISP 3 may itself comprise a network of multiple publishers which may or may not be the same. Thus, the publisher IDISP 3 may comprise two plasma screens and speakers connected to the
系统1还包括短距离通信中继器RLY 7,短距离通信中继器RLY7通过有线或无线连接与单元CTRL 5连接。布置中继器RLY 7以形成物理周界9,中继器RLY 7能够在物理周界9内部建立与移动终端Ti(在图1中,索引i等于1、2和3)的通信连接,移动终端Ti被提供有兼容的短距离通信装置。在图1中仅显示了三个终端T1 11、T2 13和T3 15,但是将意识到,系统1可与多个终端一起操作,所述终端一般指定为Ti。The
终端Ti可以是,例如,提供有蓝牙、Zigbee或WIFI标准的通信模块的移动电话、安装有这样的模块的个人电子助理(通常称为PDA)、提供有无线电发射机-接收机的头戴式耳机或蓝牙类型的耳机。终端Ti 11、13和15能够发出通过中继器RLY 7发送的信息,特别是视觉和/或声音形式的信息。视觉信息指任何类型的图像、视频或文本。声音信息指声音信号、音乐或朗读的文本。The terminal Ti can be, for example, a mobile phone provided with a communication module of the Bluetooth, Zigbee or WIFI standard, a personal electronic assistant (commonly called a PDA) equipped with such a module, a headset provided with a radio transmitter-receiver. Headphones or Bluetooth type headphones. Terminals Ti 11, 13 and 15 are capable of emitting information, in particular in visual and/or acoustic form, sent via repeater RLY 7. Visual information refers to any type of image, video or text. Audio information refers to audio signals, music or text read aloud.
图2所示的单元CTRL 5包括控制模块CTRLM 17、存储器MEM 19、第一接口INTFC1 21和第二接口INTFC2 23,控制模块CTRLM 17能够执行功能,存储器MEM 19存储具有组织数据的形式的信息,第一接口INTFC1 21与发布器IDISP 3通信,第二接口INTFC2 23与中继器RLY 7通信。The
具体地讲,模块CTRLM 17能够与接口INTFC1 21交互以执行影响发布器IDISP 3的功能,并能够与接口INTFC2 23交互以执行影响周界9的功能。因而,模块CTRLM 17能够启动对终端Ti 11、13和15广播以数据形式存储在存储器MEM 19中的信息,并能够启动将这样的信息提供给发布器IDISP 3。In particular, the module CTRLM 17 is capable of interacting with the
而且,模块CTRLM 17能够执行与存储器MEM 19中的数据的管理链接的功能,诸如读取数据、写入数据或对数据进行分类。Furthermore, the
作为示例,单元CTRL 5可以为中央计算机单元的形式,所述中央计算机单元包括有线网络接口(典型地,以太网)和WIFI接口,有线网络接口能够使单元CTRL 5与发布器IDISP 3链接,WIFI接口连接至中继器RLY 7,中继器RLY 7为用于存储信息数据的硬盘。As an example, the
单元CTRL 5还可以为专用壳体的形式,所述专用壳体包括微处理器、存储器、连接至中继器RLY 7的蓝牙接口和连接至发布器IDISP3的串行接口,所述存储器比如闪存类型的存储器。The
虽然显示存储器MEM 19属于单元CTRL 5,但是可在这个单元外部提供存储器MEM 19,并且模块CTRLM 17可通过通信接口访问存储器MEM 19,所述通信接口例如网络接口(例如,有线或无线以太网)。例如,在诸如火车站或机场的空间实体内提供多个系统1的地方,它们可共享同一个集中式存储器MEM 19,可通过无线网络接口访问集中式存储器MEM 19。那么,没有复制信息的必要。Although the
现在将通过图6中的流程图以及图3、图4和图5中的示图描述系统1的操作。The operation of the
模块CTRLM 17执行清单功能INVF 25,其经由接口INTFC2 23与中继器RLY 7交互以制订存在于周界9内的终端Ti 11、13和15的列表(步骤600)。The
根据一个实施例,与这个功能INVF 25的先前执行相比,功能INVF 25能够发现新近出现在周界9内的终端Ti。功能INVF 25与存储器MEM 19交互,以为这些新的终端Ti中的每个将识别符IdTi存储在存储器MEM 19中。识别符IdTi可包括终端Ti的SIM卡的号码或者能够明确地识别终端Ti的任何其它信息。According to one embodiment, the
因而,功能INVF 25能够检查先前已被发现在周界9内的终端Ti中的每个的存在。从所述列表删除不存在的终端Ti的识别符。Thus, the
可隐含地或者“以自由模式”执行新的终端Ti的发现,即,移动终端Ti的用户不必采取特定动作来使该移动终端Ti被发现以及从来自系统1的信息发布获益。The discovery of new terminals Ti can be performed implicitly or "in free mode", ie the user of the mobile terminal Ti does not have to take specific actions for this mobile terminal Ti to be discovered and benefit from the publication of information from the
一旦已制订终端Ti的列表,功能INVF 25就与接口INTFC2 23交互,以从该列表上的终端Ti 11、13和15中的每个获取与终端Ti相关的状态数据DjTi的集合。这里,索引j表示状态数据编号。通过与图4和图5中所示的上下文表CxtTab 26中的识别符IdTi相关联将这些状态数据DjTi存储在存储器MEM 19中。Once the list of terminals Ti has been drawn up, the
状态数据DjTi可包括第一状态数据D1Ti。例如,数据项D1Ti包括用于确定终端Ti的操作语言的数据项。数据项D1Ti可以是,例如,识别对正讨论的电话的移动电话操作者或者,可替换地移动电话操作的国家的代码,或者直接识别终端Ti的图形和/或声音接口的语言的代码。The state data DjTi may include first state data D1Ti. For example, the data item D1Ti includes a data item for determining the operating language of the terminal Ti. The data item D1Ti may be, for example, a code identifying the operator of the mobile phone for the phone in question or, alternatively, the country in which the mobile phone operates, or directly identifying the language of the graphical and/or audio interface of the terminal Ti.
状态数据DjTi还可包括第二状态数据项D2Ti。例如,数据项D2Ti可包括这样的数据项,该数据项用于确定移动终端Ti的用户是否遭受任何障碍,如果移动终端Ti的用户遭受任何障碍,则确定障碍的性质(例如,受损的视觉或受损的听力)。The status data DjTi may also include a second status data item D2Ti. For example, the data item D2Ti may comprise a data item for determining whether the user of the mobile terminal Ti suffers from any impairment, and if the user of the mobile terminal Ti suffers from any impairment, the nature of the impairment (e.g. impaired vision or impaired hearing).
当然,这些是简单的示例,可设想其它状态数据。可直接在终端Ti获得状态数据DjTi,或者可通过在终端Ti中执行的特定模块收集状态数据DjTi并将其发出。如果合适的话,则可将这样的JAVA类型的应用程序集成在终端Ti中,该应用程序用于获取和/或发出在终端中以标准方式不可获得的状态数据。状态数据DjTi可与终端Ti自身(操作者识别符、终端的模型等)相关,或者与用户(年龄、性别等)和/或偏好(例如,所选的接口语言)相关。Of course, these are simple examples and other status data are conceivable. The status data DjTi can be obtained directly at the terminal Ti, or can be collected and sent out by a specific module executed in the terminal Ti. If appropriate, it is possible to integrate in the terminal Ti a JAVA-type application for acquiring and/or emitting status data not available in the terminal in a standard manner. The status data DjTi may be related to the terminal Ti itself (operator identifier, model of the terminal, etc.), or to the user (age, gender, etc.) and/or preferences (eg selected interface language).
为了更清晰,分别描述了步骤600和602,但是它们也可同时发生。For greater clarity, steps 600 and 602 are described separately, but they may also occur simultaneously.
功能INVF 25与上下文表CxtTab 26交互,以基于状态数据子组DjTi,具体地讲,根据绝对多数逻辑或相对多数逻辑来建立第一关键值KVal1(步骤604)。The
例如,功能INVF 25从状态数据D1Ti将第一关键值建立为在表CxtTab 26中出现最多的这个状态数据项的值。值KVal1可以直接是状态数据项的值,或者是从出现最多的状态数据项的值或与状态数据项的每个值相关联地出现最多的值获得的值。For example, the
例如,当状态数据包括指示终端Ti的操作者的国籍的数据项D1Ti并且出现最多的数据项D1Ti的值为“奥地利”时,功能INVF 25可将识别德语的代码确定为值KVal1。For example, when the status data includes a data item D1Ti indicating the nationality of the operator of the terminal Ti and the value of the most frequently occurring data item D1Ti is "Austria", the
当然,可从数据DjTi获得其它子组和其它关键值。Of course, other subgroups and other key values can be obtained from the data DjTi.
在步骤606中,模块CTRLM 17的通用发布功能GIDF 27基于取决于值KVal1的第一标准从存储器MEM 19的内容的表DatTab 28选择信息数据。以有组织的方式存储来自表DatTab 28的信息数据,以使可根据查询标准访问该信息数据,可以以分类和/或搜索功能的形式实现所述查询标准。具体地讲,可将表DatTab 28中的信息数据存储在数据库中。In
这个第一标准可单独包括值KVal1,或者也可考虑可链接至KVal1或者可不链接至KVal1的其它值。This first criterion may include the value KVal1 alone, or other values may or may not be linked to KVal1 are also conceivable.
可选地,功能INVF 25可从状态数据子组建立第一补充关键值SKVal1。如将进一步看到的,值SKVal1的性质可与值KVal1的性质大不相同。Optionally, the
例如,如果值KVal1指定德语,则可这样提供第一标准,即,所选的信息数据与德语信息相关,并且吸引讲德语的人的兴趣。For example, if the value KVal1 specifies German, a first criterion can be provided such that the selected information data is relevant to German information and is of interest to German speakers.
一旦已选择信息数据,功能GIDF 27就将这些数据发送到发布器IDISP 3以用于传输(步骤608)。Once the information data have been selected, the
功能INVF 25为每个识别符IdTi从状态数据子组DjTi建立第二关键值KVal2(步骤610)。终端Ti的值KVal2类似地可仅包括该终端Ti的数据项DjTi的值,或者可不包括该终端Ti的数据项DjTi的值。The
可从相同的状态数据子组获得值KVal2,已基于所述状态数据子组确定值KVal1或者没有确定值KVal1。换句话说,值KVal1和KVal2可与不同类型的状态指示结合。The value KVal2 can be obtained from the same subset of status data on the basis of which the value KVal1 has been determined or has not been determined. In other words, the values KVal1 and KVal2 can be combined with different types of status indications.
一个特定信息发布功能PIDF 29根据取决于第二关键值KVal2的第二标准Cr2为每个终端Ti11、13和15选择包含在表DatTab 28中的信息数据。另外,功能PIDF 29将如此选择的数据分别发送到终端Ti 11、13和15,从而在这些终端上再现该信息。A specific information
用于信息选择的第一Cr1和第二Cr2可以是不同的类型。例如,可制订标准Cr1,以使发布与值KVal1相关的所有信息,而标准Cr2可包括补充的排除标准。The first Cr1 and the second Cr2 for information selection may be of different types. For example, criterion Cr1 may be formulated such that all information related to the value KVal1 is published, while criterion Cr2 may include supplementary exclusion criteria.
与以前一样,功能INVF 25还可基于状态数据子组建立第二补充关键值SKVal2。值SKVal2的性质可以与值KVal2的性质大不相同。例如,值KVal2可与语言指示相关,而值SKVal2可与信息发布的形式(听觉或视觉形式)相关。As before, the
在步骤614之后,再次从步骤600开始所述过程,以建立新的值KVal1或第一修改关键值。在步骤614和重新开始的步骤600之间,可存在植入所述过程的延迟以防止在发布器IDISP 3太快发生的改变。After
在一个实施例中,可预先设置第一缺省关键值,功能GIDF 27可以有条件地使用该第一缺省关键值。可在所述过程在步骤600开始之前使用这个缺省关键值,那么,该缺省关键值用作值KVal1的初始值。在一个实施例中,在步骤614和任意延迟之后执行功能GIDF 27,用第一缺省关键值重新开始发布IDISP 3。In one embodiment, a first default key value can be preset, and the
可将模块CTRLM 17的操作看作有组织的指令系列。可以以意在通过中央计算机单元或微处理器运行的程序或微程序的形式使用模块CTRLM 17。The operation of
将指出,由于第一关键值KVal1确定用于选择对存在于周界9内的所有(或大多数)终端Ti为公共的信息的标准,所以本质上第一关键值KVal1是公共的,而相反,由于第二关键值KVal2确定用于选择对每个终端Ti为特有的信息的标准,所以本质上第二关键值KVal2私有的。It will be pointed out that since the first key value KVal1 determines the criteria for selecting information that is common to all (or most) terminals Ti present within the
无论中继器RLY 7使用的技术是什么,有利的是,提供系统1以确保服务的连续性或互补性。因而,当发布器IDISP 3发布作为第一修改关键值的函数的新的信息数据时,终端Ti实际上同时接收新的信息数据。这里,限定词“同时”指终端Ti的用户,其指示“实际上没有用户可感受到的任何延迟”。Whatever the technology used by the
当中继器RLY 7使用蓝牙技术操作时,单个蓝牙单元可专用于发现新的终端Ti 11、12和13以及终端Ti和中继器RLY 7之间的通信。有利的是,系统1包括多个蓝牙单元。因此,一个蓝牙单元可完全专用于发现新的终端Ti 11、13和15,即,它不参与通信。因此,系统1包括仅用于与终端Ti通信的多个即BTCN个蓝牙单元。When the
可从对这个系统设想的性能推导出将集成在系统1中的蓝牙单元的数量BTCN。切换发布器IDISP 3所需的最大延迟DLY为将所述信息发送到其的终端Ti的数量N、安装的蓝牙单元的数量BTCN和建立蓝牙连接所需的时间CxD的函数。例如根据公式(1)表示延迟DLY:The number BTCN of Bluetooth units to be integrated in the
DLY=ceilinginteger{N/min(BTCN,N)}x CxD (1)DLY=ceilinginteger{N/min(BTCN,N)}x CxD (1)
函数ceilinginteger将实数与紧大于该实数的整数相关联。例如,ceilinginteger(3.75)=4。The function ceilinginteger associates a real number with an integer immediately larger than the real number. For example, ceilinginteger(3.75)=4.
通过蓝牙技术的选择固定时间CxD的值,该值大约为5秒。The value of the fixed time CxD is selected through the Bluetooth technology, and the value is about 5 seconds.
可在启动与终端Ti连接的日期t0计算延迟DLY。The delay DLY can be calculated on the date t0 of starting the connection with the terminal Ti.
在日期ti,单元CTRL 5连接至终端Ti。根据公式(2)给出与终端Ti通信的定时延迟DLYi:On date ti,
DLYi=DLY-(ti-t0) (2)DLYi=DLY-(ti-t0) (2)
通过选择将延迟DLY和DLYi的值固定为使用户获得系统1的良好操作或可接受的操作的延迟。通过基于延迟DLY和DLYi的选择以及将连接的终端Ti的预定数量N来解公式(2)然后解公式(1),获得将提供的蓝牙单元的数量BTCN。By choosing to fix the values of the delays DLY and DLYi to delays that allow the user to obtain good or acceptable operation of the
如果中继器RLY 7根据WIFI标准操作,则根据公式(3)给出延迟DLY:If the
DLY=NxCxD (3)DLY=NxCxD (3)
通过WIFI技术的选择固定时间CxD的值,该值大约为10毫秒(包括处理时间)。结果,除了存在大量N个终端Ti的情况之外,对于终端Ti的用户,延迟DLY是可以忽略的。The value of fixed time CxD is selected by WIFI technology, which is about 10 milliseconds (including processing time). As a result, the delay DLY is negligible for users of terminals Ti, except in the case of a large number N of terminals Ti.
实际上,公式(1)、(2)和(3)使得能够调整系统1的尺寸,以获得上述服务的连续性或互补性。In fact, formulas (1), (2) and (3) enable the dimensioning of the
现在将描述本发明的第一使用示例。在机场中的等候区中提供系统1。发布器IDISP 3具有液晶屏幕的形式,该液晶屏幕能够显示与离开机场和到达机场的不同航班相关的文本类型的信息。与不同语言的这个信息相关的数据存储在存储器MEM 19中。A first usage example of the present invention will now be described. The
设计中继器RLY 7,以使周界9覆盖包括发布器IDISP 3的区域。事先知道其国籍不同的旅行者拥有终端Ti 11、13和15。
图7中的流程图示出系统1在这个特定情况下的操作。The flowchart in Figure 7 shows the operation of the
在步骤700中,如前所述,功能INVF 25建立存在于周界9内的终端Ti 11、13和15的列表。In
在步骤702中,这个功能INVF 25从终端Ti 11、13和15中的每个获取最初管理终端Ti中的每个的通信的移动电话操作者的国籍作为状态数据D1Ti。In
在步骤704中,功能INVF 25将与出现最多的操作者的国籍相关联的语言的识别符建立为第一关键值KVal1。In
假设,例如,由德国操作者操作终端T1,由法国操作者操作终端T2,由奥地利操作者操作终端T3。由于德语在周界9内出现两次,而法语仅出现一次,所以功能INVF 25将德语的识别符建立为值KVal1。换句话说,这里,值KVal1指定周界9内部的主要语言。Assume, for example, that terminal T1 is operated by a German operator, terminal T2 by a French operator, and terminal T3 by an Austrian operator. Since German appears twice within
在操作706中,功能GITF 27将德语建立为用于选择信息数据的第一标准Cr1。换句话说,功能GIDF 27选择能够用德语显示信息的数据。In
在步骤708中,功能GIDF 27将所选的数据发送到发布器IDISP3,从而显示在屏幕上的信息为德语。换句话说,用周界9内的主要语言显示屏幕上的信息。In
在步骤710中,功能INVF 25将法语的识别符建立为终端T2 13的第二关键值KVal2。可选地,这个功能INVF 25将德语的识别符建立为终端T1 11和T3 15的值KVal2。In
功能PIDF 29从值KVal2建立第二信息数据选择标准Cr2,从而所选的数据表示法语信息(步骤712)。The
在步骤714中,这个功能PIDF 29将如此选择的信息数据发送到终端T2 13,从而关于到达机场和离开机场的航班的信息以法语显示在这个终端T2 13上。可选地,德语信息被发送到终端T1 11和T3 15。In
虽然仍基于第一关键值KVal1和第二关键值KVal2建立第一标准Cr1和第二标准Cr2,但是第一标准Cr1和第二标准Cr2可以有更多选择。因而,可建立第一标准Cr1,以选择与开往讲德语的国家或从这样的国家,比如奥地利或德国到达的航班相关的德语信息数据。发布器IDISP 3然后仅显示这个信息。类似地,可建立第二标准Cr2,以仅选择与法国公司的航班相关的法语信息数据显示在终端T2 13上。Although the first standard Cr1 and the second standard Cr2 are still established based on the first key value KVal1 and the second key value KVal2, there may be more choices for the first standard Cr1 and the second standard Cr2. Thus, a first criterion Cr1 can be established to select German information data relating to flights to or from German-speaking countries, such as Austria or Germany.
如图8所示,第一标准Cr1和第二标准Cr2可以是不同的类型。因而,标准Cr1使屏幕以德语显示从那个时间接着的两个小时内的所有航班,没有进一步的区分(表的第一行),而第二标准使终端T2 13仅以法语显示公司“Air France”的航班。As shown in FIG. 8, the first standard Cr1 and the second standard Cr2 may be of different types. Thus, criterion Cr1 causes the screen to display in German all flights for the next two hours from that time, without further distinction (first line of the table), while the second criterion causes terminal T213 to display the company "Air France" in French only "(R) flights.
如前所述,有利的是,系统1具有这样的尺寸,以确保服务的连续性。因而,当在周界9内主要语言改变并且屏上显示的语言改变时,受影响的终端Ti立即接收用先前用于显示的语言表述的等同信息。结果,如果需要的话,则用公式(1)、(2)和(3)确定系统的尺寸。As previously stated, advantageously, the
图9中的流程图示出本发明的第一实施例的可替换实施例。在这个可替换实施例中,功能INVF 25获取国籍指示作为状态数据D1Ti,获取障碍指示作为D2Ti(步骤902)。状态数据项D2Ti可假设指示“没有障碍”、“受损视觉”或“受损听力”的值。The flowchart in Fig. 9 shows an alternative embodiment to the first embodiment of the present invention. In this alternative embodiment, the
假设,例如,功能INVF 25从终端T3 15获取指示“受损视觉”的状态数据项D2T3,从终端T1 11和T2 13获取指示“没有障碍”的状态数据D2T1和D2T2。Assume, for example, that the
与以前一样,功能INVF 25建立表示德语指示的第一关键值KVal1和指示“没有障碍”的第一附加关键值SKVal1,SKVal1为与在周界9内出现最多的状态数据D2Ti的值对应的值(步骤906)。As before, the
在步骤908中,功能GIDF 27根据基于指示德语的关键值KVal1和指示“没有障碍”的附加关键值SKVal1而确定的第一标准Cr1来选择信息数据。例如,功能GIDF 27选择文本形式的德语信息数据。In step 908, the
在步骤910中,功能GIDF 27将所选的数据发送到发布器IDISP3,从而与以前一样,发布器IDISP3的显示切换到德语。In step 910, the
在步骤912中,功能PIDF 29基于第二标准Cr2选择信息数据,第二标准Cr2为指示“法语”的关键值KVal2和指示“受损的视觉”的附加关键值SKVal1的函数。例如,建立第二标准Cr2,以选择声音形式的法语信息数据,即,大声朗读并且被预先记录为例如音频数据的文本。可提供用于自动地将文本形式的信息数据转换为音频形式的信息数据的设备或者自动读取设备。In step 912, the
在步骤914中,将所选的信息数据发送到终端T2 13以用于发出,从而以听觉形式将这个信息发布到终端T2的视觉受损的用户。In step 914, the selected message data is sent to the terminal T213 for sending out, thereby disseminating this message in auditory form to the visually impaired user of the terminal T2.
在这个使用示例中,附加关键值引起文本的视觉发布和听觉发布之间的切换。In this usage example, the additional key causes a toggle between visual and audible publication of the text.
在上述本发明的应用示例中,用户在他的移动终端Ti上接收的作为他的状态数据的函数的信息在语义上等同于发布器IDISP3所发布的信息。与状态数据结合的差异基本上与发布的形式有关。然而,当前不认为这个特性是限制性的。在前面的描述中,等同物与数据的信息内容相关,但是它还可仅与没有保留等同物的内容的信息的性质相关,或者仅与附加信息相关。In the application example of the invention described above, the information received by the user on his mobile terminal Ti as a function of his status data is semantically equivalent to the information published by the publisher IDISP3. The differences combined with state data are basically related to the form of the release. However, this property is not currently considered limiting. In the previous description, the equivalent was related to the information content of the data, but it could also be related only to the nature of the information without retaining the content of the equivalent, or only to additional information.
如前所述,具体地讲,发布器IDISP3能够发布根据缺省值或者根据多数逻辑而选择的信息。应该理解,可将这两个选择模式组合起来。例如,在根据多数逻辑而选择的信息的发布的特定周期之后,可根据缺省关键值为另一特定周期选择信息。As mentioned above, specifically, the publisher IDISP3 can publish information selected according to default values or according to majority logic. It should be understood that these two selection modes may be combined. For example, after a certain period of publication of information selected according to majority logic, information may be selected for another certain period according to a default key value.
通过修改选择条件,可将信息发布中的至少一些从发布器IDISP3移到终端Ti,以最小化装置的任何失败的效果。这个移动可以是自发的,意在例如使发布器IDISP3的负载变亮。在一些情况下,可设想将所有的发布功能移到终端Ti,至少临时移到终端Ti。By modifying the selection criteria, at least some of the information publications can be moved from the publisher IDISP3 to the terminal Ti, so as to minimize the effect of any failure of the device. This movement can be spontaneous, intended for example to brighten the load of publisher IDISP3. In some cases, it is conceivable to move all publishing functions to the terminal Ti, at least temporarily.
在上述本发明的应用示例中,系统1是固定的。根据第二应用示例,这个系统1可以是移动的。In the application example of the invention described above, the
例如,系统1可采取扬声器系统的形式,该扬声器系统安装在机动车辆中并且发布预先记录的信息。在车辆中布置中继器RLY 7、单元CTRL 5和发布器IDISP3,发布器IDISP3包括扬声器。这个信息可以是灾难警报,例如气体泄漏。存在于移动周界9内的所有人可在他们的移动终端Ti上接收到等同形式的灾难警报。因而,不理解广播警报的语言的人和听力受损的人可在与其它人相同的时间被警告。For example,
根据第三实施例,系统1用在博物馆中。向导携带系统1,在这种情况下,系统1包括播放预先记录的解说词的扬声器以用作发布器IDISP3。向导还携带单元CTRL 5和中继器RLY7。在这种情况下可将单元CTRL5和中继器RLY7集成在同一壳体中。跟随向导而不会讲该向导的语言的参观者可在他们的便携式电话上接收到例如听觉形式的解说词。可将文本等同物交给喜欢的参观者。According to a third embodiment, the
根据第四实施例,例如在高速公路上沿道路轴线实现系统1。那么,发布器IDISP3可采取信号板或信息板的形式,所述信号板例如指示方向,所述信息板例如指示交通条件。根据终端Ti的状态数据DjTi,用户可在他的车辆中在这个终端上接收表示信号板(例如,如果以用户不会读的字母写信号板)或信息板(例如,如果用户不知道写信息的语言)的等同物的数据,所述等同物比如文本等同物或者可能发声的等同物。在车辆以低速行驶的情况下,WIFI技术可用作例如短距离通信技术。According to a fourth embodiment, the
在第五实施例中,系统1用在旅店的休息室或者使用声音发布器IDISP3以预先记录的形式广播音乐片段的任何其它位置中。单元5可通过一个或多个中继器在终端Ti(例如,移动电话)上提供文本形式的正被广播的一段话的同时广播。在这种情况下,有利的是,以流量的形式提供发布,在这种情况下,使用已知为“流传输”的方法以文本流的形式提供发布。将理解,以流传输形式的这种类型的任何发布需要存储在存储器19中的步骤,然而是临时存储。可替换地,还可通过“流传输”技术执行多段音乐的发布。In a fifth embodiment, the
在第六实施例中,系统1用在市镇大厅的接收空间中,在所述接收空间中,通知板形式的发布器IDISP3提供信息,比如,关于不同行政服务的地理位置的信息。可以以通常将印刷字符转录为盲文字符的触觉文本编译设备的形式提供终端Ti。还可以以蓝牙类型的耳机的形式提供其它终端Ti。因而,所述系统可为遭受视觉损伤的人提供来自发布器IDISP3的信息的转录。In a sixth embodiment, the
在第七实施例中,系统1用在户外的城市空间中。此外,发布器IDISP3采取公共显示板的形式。可对单元5进行编程,以使每次特定移动终端,例如移动终端T1 11经过时,在终端T1上再现的内容不同,但是该内容总是与发布器IDISP3一致。例如,一方面,单元5的存储器19使用例如识别符IdTi来维护将发布的内容序列,另一方面,维护终端Ti的移动轨迹。每次经过时,将内容序列的下一元素发布给终端Ti。在第一变形中,提供多个板,连接所述多个板以以发布器IDISP的方式通信。在这些板中的任何一个板的前面经过引起将发布的内容序列的增加。在第二变形中,每个板连接至将发布的内容序列的特定元素,经过与特定板接近的终端Ti引起链接至所述板的序列的元素的各个发布。可通过增加连接至同一单元5的发布器IDISP 3或者通过连接许多个系统1彼此通信来实现这个实施例,每个系统1被提供有发布器IDISP 3。可在板的网络上或者在移动终端Ti自身上根据特定情况保留指示移动终端Ti靠近板的数据。In the seventh embodiment, the
例如,将发布的内容可包括与现成的收集相关的广告符号的系列,每个符号表示该收集中的特定项目。因而,每次用户经过上述类型的符号的前面,他就发现新的符号,即,新的项目。For example, the content to be published may include a series of advertising symbols associated with an off-the-shelf collection, each symbol representing a particular item in the collection. Thus, each time the user passes in front of symbols of the above-mentioned type, he discovers new symbols, ie new items.
可储存通过功能INVF25收集的状态数据,并且可使得该状态数据可用于统计目的。对于特定的周界9,可获得这样的信息,具体地讲,所述信息为关于作为日子的时间函数而出现的终端Ti的数量、出现最多的国籍、终端Ti停留在该周界内部的时间长度等的信息。这个统计信息使得可对系统1进行改编。具体地讲,它使得可设计构成系统1的不同元素的尺寸。因而,它通过指示将连接的终端Ti的预测数量N来提供解公式(1)、(2)和(3)所需的数据。另外,它使得可建立第一缺省关键值KVal1的值。Status data collected by function INVF25 can be stored and made available for statistical purposes. For a
在特定情况下,主发布器发布广告。这个统计信息可提供关于广告观众的信息。具体地讲,它可记录广告对不讲呈现广告的语言的人的影响。In certain cases, the main publisher publishes the advertisement. This statistical information may provide information about the audience of the advertisement. Specifically, it may record the effect of an advertisement on persons who do not speak the language in which the advertisement is presented.
根据第八实施例,发布器IDISP3可采取广告板的形式,根据在所述板周围提供的周界内收集的状态数据修改该广告板的显示。因而,移动终端Ti可接收到这样的信息数据,该信息数据表示例如用该终端的接口语言表述显示在所述板上的文本的翻译。当终端Ti的用户在视觉上受到损害时,他们还可接收到所显示的广告的听觉等同物。可在通常提供广告板的任何地方提供根据本发明的系统。According to an eighth embodiment, the publisher IDISP3 may take the form of an advertising board whose display is modified according to status data collected within a perimeter provided around said board. Thus, the mobile terminal Ti can receive information data representing, for example, the translation of the text displayed on said panel in the terminal's interface language. When the users of the terminal Ti are visually impaired, they may also receive an audible equivalent of the displayed advertisement. The system according to the present invention may be provided anywhere an advertising board is normally provided.
一般来说,可在信息的显示通常有用的任何地方使用根据本发明的系统1。具体地讲,可在公共高速公路上使用所述系统发布关于例如市镇的信息,诸如传统上由市政府信息设施发布的演示通告、当地时间或任何其它信息。In general, the
还可在公共建筑中提供根据本发明的系统1。在这些建筑中,假设特别是与不同服务的位置相关地发布特定信息。这适合于例如医院、公司场地的休息室、博物馆等。更一般地讲,可在公共提供信息的显示和/或可听提供的任何公共地方提供系统1。The
根据第九实施例,在饭店提供根据本发明的系统。屏幕可用作主发布器IDISP3来代替菜单。可将菜单的等同物,比如用另一语言表述的菜单发布给每个顾客的移动终端Ti。According to a ninth embodiment, the system according to the present invention is provided at a restaurant. The screen can be used as the main publisher IDISP3 instead of the menu. An equivalent of the menu, such as a menu expressed in another language, can be distributed to each customer's mobile terminal Ti.
仅作为示例提供上述实施例和应用示例,并且可设想其它变形。例如,功能INVF25可建立不同类型的多个关键值。从终端Ti收集的状态数据的性质可改变,该性质不受语言指示或障碍指示的限制,所述状态数据还可包括关于国籍、身份、航班等的信息。The above-described embodiments and application examples are provided only as examples, and other modifications are conceivable. For example, function INVF25 may establish multiple key values of different types. The nature of the status data collected from the terminal Ti, which is not limited by language indications or barrier indications, may vary in nature, said status data may also include information on nationality, identity, flight, etc.
除了火车站和机场之外,还可在高速公路上的收费站中提供根据本发明的系统1,更一般地讲,还可在必须发布信息的任何地方提供根据本发明的系统1。In addition to railway stations and airports, the
图10示出根据本发明的系统的有利的进一步特征。这里,系统1包括用于检测射频标签的网络31,布置网络31以检测这样的标签33在收集周界9内的进入,或者标签33的离开和/或存在。检测网络31连接至单元5,例如经由通信接口(未显示)。因而,通过物理上或者以其它方式连接至移动终端的相关联的射频标签31来检测该移动终端的存在。Figure 10 shows an advantageous further feature of the system according to the invention. Here, the
这里,标签33可以是“RFID”类型。更一般地讲,这里在该描述中称为“射频标签”的物体为无源或半无源的小型便携式物体,该物体永久存储比特集,并且可通过短距离通信查询该物体。以下将这个比特集称为“存储器”。可使用其它类型的标签,例如,已知为“NFC”(来自英文术语Near Field Computing)的类型的标签。Here, the
检测网络31包括至少一个管理器35和连接至所述至少一个管理器35的至少一个天线37。天线37能够读取包含在位于其范围内的射频标签33的存储器中的数据。管理器35连接至单元5,例如经由以上所提及的通信接口。The
管理器35可包括,例如,由Texas Instruments制造的系列2000的RI-CTL-MB2A控制器和由同一公司制造的RF-MOD-TX8A多路复用器。
如图12所示,标签33的存储器存储状态数据DjTi的集合,例如,识别终端Ti的用户当前正使用的语言的数据项D1Ti或上述任何其它的状态数据项。As shown in Figure 12, the memory of the
另外,标签33的存储器存储与移动终端Ti相关的通信地址数据ComAdrDat。这些数据ComAdrDat具体包括经由中继器RLY7对移动终端Ti的接触地址。这可以是,例如,通信接口的材料地址:如果中继器RLY7通过这种技术操作,则所述材料地址为蓝牙接口的材料地址。如果可应用的话,则可从这些数据AdrComDat推导出移动终端的识别符IdTi。In addition, the memory of the
优选地,数据ComAdrDat和状态数据DiTj存储在同一标签中,该标签为不同的数据预留出比特区域。由于可通过天线33读取单个标签,所以这特别允许不同数据的简化读取。因而,数据ComAdrDat和DjTi形成同一码字。Preferably, the data ComAdrDat and the status data DiTj are stored in the same tag, which reserves bit areas for different data. This allows in particular a simplified reading of different data, since a single tag can be read via the
将标签33布置在移动终端Ti的用户,例如终端T1 11的用户所携带的物体上。便携式用户物体可采取卡的形式,例如类似于信用卡。从可将标签33与终端Ti集成在一起的意义来说,移动终端Ti可用作便携式物体。标签可以是自粘贴的,从而用户可自行将其放置在任何基底上,例如,终端Ti上。The
当天线37检测到标签33时,上述功能INVF25与和管理器35连接的接口交互,以获得包含在该标签中的所有状态数据DjTi。When the
可在先前描述的本发明的应用示例的每个中实现本发明的这个特征。由于当天线37一检测到用户所携带的标签,就立即检测到终端,所以标签检测网络31的添加具有加速存在于周界9内的移动终端Ti的发现阶段或清单阶段的优点。This feature of the present invention can be implemented in each of the previously described application examples of the present invention. The addition of the
在根据本发明的特征的图12示出的特定实施例中,可仅通过强制识别的经过点访问周界9。在这种情况下,有利的是,在这些经过点的每个提供连接至管理器的进入/退出检测器。这种类型的检测器包括,例如,布置在所述经过点的两行天线37A和37B,这两行天线37A和37B相互平行并且相对于移动方向横跨。因而,可检测到标签33的移动方向:当行37A检测到标签33在行37B的前面时,移动方向为从天线37A到天线37B,反之亦然。有利的是,使用所谓的“柔性”天线,所述“柔性”天线可采用支撑轮廓,比如,CIPAM CIP ANT-LF类型的塑料膜上的柔性天线。In the particular embodiment shown in FIG. 12 according to a feature of the invention, the
由于在进入位置时读取用户标签33,所以这特别有利。而且,可检测他们的离开,从而容易在任何给定的时间知道哪个终端Ti存在于周界9内。This is particularly advantageous since the
这个特定的实施例还避免了在整个操作区5上分布天线21。虽然在图12中,用实线显示周界9,但是应该实现这个周界不必在物理上封闭。This particular embodiment also avoids distributing the
还有利的是,如图12所示,在网络中布置许多个中继器RLY以基本上覆盖根据周界9所划界的所有空间。It is also advantageous, as shown in FIG. 12 , to arrange a large number of repeaters RLY in the network to cover substantially all the spaces demarcated according to the
可选地,单元5还连接至与有线或无线类型的全球通信网络41的访问接口39,所述全球通信网络41诸如GSM、GPRS、EDGE、UMTS、IP等。Optionally, the
一方面,这个访问接口39允许单元5访问远程数据处理装置,所述远程数据处理装置适合于例如执行附加数据处理或远离周界9的材料资源。On the one hand, this
另一方面,访问接口9使得可建立与移动终端Ti 11的通信,所述移动终端Ti 11具有相关的全球通信装置43,即,蜂窝网络类型的全球通信装置43,所述蜂窝网络类型例如GSM、GPRS、EDGE、UMTS等。具体地讲,这使得可建立与标准便携式电话类型的移动终端Ti 11的通信以用于传送分类的数据。在这种情况下,有利的是,数据ComAdrDat包括通过蜂窝网络对移动终端的呼叫号码。例如,可提供SMS(文本消息)或MMS(多媒体消息)形式的发布。On the other hand, the
有利的是,标签33为已知为无源标签的类型,即,标签33不具有自主能量或处理能力。然而,它能够通过发送包含存储在其存储器中的数据的消息来对查询请求作出响应。从来自查询设备的信号的感应电流提取该能力所需的能量,在这种情况下,所述查询设备为天线37。这个设计意味着该系统不受能量约束,并且免去了这个所隐含的重量。Advantageously, the
然而,将理解,假如有源标签,即那些具有它们自己的能量源的标签以无源模式操作,即,限制它们对查询信号作出响应,则可使用这些有源标签。However, it will be understood that active tags, ie those tags with their own energy source, can be used provided they are operated in passive mode, ie, are restricted from responding to interrogation signals.
作为示例,可使用已知为由Texas Instruments制造的TITISRI-TRP-W4FF的标签。As an example, a tag known as TITISRI-TRP-W4FF manufactured by Texas Instruments may be used.
通信地址数据ComAdrDat可形成用户识别符,例如在控制器5。在某些情况下,在实际的标签33中,可用这种类型的用户识别符使通信地址数据ComAdrDat完整或者代替通信地址数据ComAdrDat。The communication address data ComAdrDat can form a subscriber identifier, for example at the
可替换地,可将数据ComAdrDat存储在不同的标签中,特别是当单个标签33的存储器的容量不足时。从而,这些数据ComAdrDat和DjTi形成几个码字(或者代码集合)。如果中继器RLY同时使用不同的技术操作,则数据ComAdrDat还可包括识别终端Ti的用户所偏好的特定通信技术的数据项。Alternatively, the data ComAdrDat can be stored in a different tag, in particular when the capacity of the memory of a
优选地,检测网络31包括连接至管理器35的多个天线37。Preferably, the
可设想一个天线或多个天线37的各种布置(未显示):Various arrangements (not shown) of the antenna or
-检测网络31可具有连接至管理器35的单个天线37。可检测标签33在周界9内部的特定点的存在。可仅在周界9内的这个特定点读取包含在标签33的存储器中的数据。- The
-检测网络31可包括连接至管理器35并且被分布以覆盖区域的多个天线37。具体地讲,可分布天线33,以使可在周界9内部的任何点读取标签33,或者可沿周界9分布标签33。- The
-检测网络31可包括多个管理器35,尤其当达到可连接至单个管理器35的最多数量的天线时。- The
对于图10至图12的描述和检测网络31的操作的更多的细节,可参考由本申请者于2006年2月6日提交的第0601031号法国专利申请,特此并入该申请作为参考。For more details on the description of Figures 10 to 12 and the operation of the
根据本发明的开发的实施例,以同时翻译系统的形式使用系统1,例如用于主持会议的房间。According to a developed embodiment of the invention, the
当每个参加者登记时,给予每个参加者带有RFID类型的标签的卡。这个标签存储状态数据形式的信息,参加者在例如登记时提供所述信息。具体地讲,这些状态数据可识别参加者所讲的语言。When each participant registers, each participant is given a card with an RFID type tag. This tag stores information in the form of status data, which the participant provides when, for example, checking in. Specifically, these presence data can identify the languages spoken by the participants.
希望使用同时翻译服务的每个参加者具有例如蓝牙类型的耳机,该耳机的地址存储在卡上的RFID标签中。这可以是他自己的耳机或者是偶尔租借给他的耳机。Each participant wishing to use the simultaneous translation service has, for example, a Bluetooth type headset whose address is stored in an RFID tag on the card. This could be his own headset or one that is occasionally loaned to him.
会议室被提供有通过本地网络连接至单元CRTL 5的蓝牙访问点,所述本地网络例如为IP网络类型(IP代表“互联网协议”)。单元CRTL 5至少将演讲者的陈述翻译成提供给听众的不同语言的翻译临时存储在它的存储器19中。在临时存储的特定情况下,存储器19用作缓冲器(即,缓冲器存储器)。The conference room is provided with a Bluetooth access point connected to the
所述房间内的蓝牙访问点的分布为这样:配备有蓝牙耳机的任何人可听到通过用他们的选择的语言进行流传输而分布的会议。The distribution of the Bluetooth access points in the room is such that anyone equipped with a Bluetooth headset can hear the distributed conference by streaming in their language of choice.
更精确地讲,可将演讲者所给的陈述数字化,并使用例如RTSP和RTP类型的协议将该陈述发送到内容服务器(未显示)。类似地,口译者可提供翻译,并将这些翻译提供给内容服务器。可将内容服务器集成在单元CRTL5中。假设在内容服务器、单元CRTL5和负责对演讲者所给的陈述进行数字化的计算机之间存在例如IP类型的数据链接,则这个内容服务器还可位于单元CRTL5的外部。内容服务器可位于会议室的外部。More precisely, the presentation given by the speaker may be digitized and sent to a content server (not shown) using eg RTSP and RTP type protocols. Similarly, interpreters can provide translations and provide those translations to content servers. A content server can be integrated in the unit CRTL5. This content server can also be located outside the unit CRTL5, provided that there is a data link, for example of IP type, between the content server, the unit CRTL5 and the computer responsible for digitizing the presentations given by the speaker. The content server can be located outside the meeting room.
单元CRTL5可从内容服务器接收不同的流,每个流与特定翻译对应。这可在来自单元CRTL5的请求之后执行,所述请求例如使用RTSP协议(即,“实时流传输协议”)的请求。因而,单元CRTL5可将接收的不同流存储在存储器MEM19中(具体地讲,将接收的不同流置于其缓冲器中),例如使用RTP协议(“实时传输协议”)进行存储。更精确地讲,这个存储可发生在存储器19的表DatTab 28中。Unit CRTL5 can receive different streams from the content server, each stream corresponding to a specific translation. This may be performed following a request from unit CRTL5, for example a request using the RTSP protocol (ie "Real Time Streaming Protocol"). Unit CRTL5 can thus store (in particular place in its buffer) the different streams received in memory MEM19 , for example using the RTP protocol ("Real Time Transport Protocol"). More precisely, this storage can take place in the
根据网络31检测到的RFID标签的状态数据,单元CRTL5将对应的翻译的流发送到蓝牙耳机。这个发送还可基于RTP协议。Based on the status data of the RFID tags detected by the
可如图12所示组织提供同时翻译的会议室。Conference rooms that provide simultaneous translation can be organized as shown in Figure 12.
这个翻译服务还可使用不同于检测网络31和射频标签33之间的交互的手段以获取状态数据。This translation service may also use means other than detecting interactions between the
所描述的翻译服务可用在诸如电影院观众席、戏院等的演出区中。在它用在戏院观众席中的特定情况下,使用多扬声器系统。The described translation service may be used in performance areas such as movie theater auditoriums, theaters, and the like. In the particular case where it is used in theater auditoriums, a multi-speaker system is used.
这个翻译服务避免了为会议室配备传统的同时翻译服务的需要,为会议室配备传统的同时翻译服务是一个复杂并且昂贵的操作,尤其就设备的部署方面来说。事实上,传统上需要为每个听众提供安装有头戴耳机和键盘的桌子,他们可通过键盘选择他们想听到会议的语言。另外,所有的桌子必须连接至翻译者生成演讲者的陈述的翻译的位置。This translation service avoids the need to equip conference rooms with traditional simultaneous translation services, which is a complex and expensive operation, especially in terms of equipment deployment. In fact, it is traditionally necessary to provide each listener with a table equipped with headphones and a keyboard through which they can select the language in which they want to hear the conference. Additionally, all tables must be connected to where the translator generates a translation of the speaker's statement.
还可将本发明限定为一个过程。The invention can also be limited to a process.
本发明不限于以上仅作为示例描述的实施例,而是将技术人员可想到的所有变形包括在下面权利要求的范围内。The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above as examples only, but encompasses all modifications that may occur to a skilled person within the scope of the following claims.
