[6] BACKGROUND
[7] Necessity:
[8] The information provided in units of information, a block of interconnected information, information package which was intended to complete the story. Packet of information sometimes unifying within various topics with various areas of interest, in the packet information describes ideas which are linked logically to describe a tale.
[9] In a geographical context, Person driving / walking/ tourist / tripper going through
'Points Of Interest'(POI); Environment importance areas, places in which historical events had occurred or distinctive geological areas or archaeological, scientific, technological or industrial interest sites, etc... People have a passion to learn about these places. If the information they receives meet there interest and the level of information that they get fits to their level of knowledge; this information be obvious and will understand in high efficacy, then these sources of knowledge will be very useful and very beneficial. But if the information will not be customized it will be boring and useless.
[10] PRIOR ART
[I I] Technologies exist for the purpose of providing information about points of interest to users. The information provided in the existing technologies make customization to users by selecting the appropriate targets, for example choosing a route that will include points of interest of a kind that a user want. Data units offered in a permanent structure ; so provided data units has no flexibility.
[12] WO 02/084536 Al, disclose system and method for delivering experiences about tourists attractions sets.
[13] Document in question uses much the term 'customization', declared about ability to provide custom information, but the description disclose about matching points of interest to user. Customizations made by document in question is while editing the track and selecting the subject matter of the points of interest. Matching is performed in exactly the same manner as a human tour guide makes adjustments when he/she leads tourists. He/she chooses the path that contains the points of interest of a kind that tourists are interested, contrary to a human guide the system in question at any point of interest provides the same pattern of information, unlike a human instructor usually provide the information in different variations. Document in question, also uses the term 'levels', but when finding out the meaning that it describes we find that the technique is to creating different variations of different points of interest, such as choosing different routes. The classification principle states that points of interest are classified by level of appeal. Points of interest are grouped in to appeal categories. 'Customization' of the provided knowledge is not based on the level of depth of information provided about a particular point of interest, but rather based on the appeal level of the POL Another personalization specifies in the document is in the entertainment additions. These additions are recorded material with an affinity to the points of interest. These recordings do not belong to the story of the point of interest, neither to the location of the POL Document in question does not work automatically; it requires user intervention to obtain information about every point of interest.
[14] SUMMARY :
[15] An objective of the invention is to processing data units in order to make it suitable for automatic delivering portions of the data unit according to the user needs. To realize this idea every data unit will be splitting to multi subunits, these subunits classified according to the number of the variables that presents in the data unit. The splitting performing such that every sub unit contains complete idea, these ideas linked so that they keep the logical structure of the whole concept. Thereby different users can receive their own concept structured by deferent portions of whole concept of the data unit, depending on their preference for deepening level of every field of interest.
[16] An objective of the invention is to processing data units in order to make it suitable for automatic delivering portions of the data unit according to the user needs
[17] According to one embodiment, the main idea proposed for implementation of this invention is a method' devices and system providing users with custom information in accordance with his preference. In this application displayed a method for customizing data units and method for automatic delivering custom information.
[18] To optimize the customization process should get into consideration the way of thinking and understanding of the user. Cognitive science has identified a number of patterns of thinking, including two emits patterns, one that fits understanding that goes from the General To Details (General To Details pattern), and for the second is better to provide the details and through constructs the whole concept (Details to Whole pattern).
[19] According to one embodiment of this invention, delivering process goes according to the logic structure of the subunits. That fit the first pattern.
[20] According to another embodiment of this invention delivering process goes
according to a degree of compatibility of the subunits to specific user, without concerning to the logical Interdependence. That fit the second pattern.
[21] Another embodiment will be possible.
[22] An example to illustrate the concept of 'levels', the information in this example can be edited in a more professional manner, even can be added many more levels on the power plant and how it works. Quality of the information is not objective at this stage, it is only to illustrate the significance of the division of POI information to multiple subtopics and rank them in depth professional to multiple levels.
[23] The example: Rider near the Power station, the system must provide information.
For this purpose, the information about the POI will be distributed to levels such as the following,
[24] First level: (definition) Orot Rabin (lit. Rabin Lights) is a coal -fired power station situated on the Mediterranean coast in Hadera, Israel . It is owned and operated by Israel Electric Corporation (IEC). IEC website, Orot Rabin' has a production capacity of about 2,500 MW, representing approximately 22% of electricity production in Israel.
[25] Second level: ( engineering )Today the plant is Israel's largest power station with its 2,590 MW representing 23% of the Israel Electric Corporation's total generation capacity ( that is, until phase D expansion at the Rutenberg power station in Ashkelon is built, at which point the latter will surpass Orot Rabin as Israel largest plant). The plant burns 18,000 tons of coal every 24 hours and uses 320,000 tons of seawater every hour. [1] It is also possible to operate the station using fuel or crude oil . In 2009, a large desalination plant was built adjacent to the power station.
[26] Flue gas stack 3 of the power station is 300 metres (980ft) tall, making it Israel's second-tallest structure after the towers of the Dimona Radar Facility.
[27] Third level: (History) Construction of the station began in 1973 and it began operating in 1981 ( unit 1). A coal port is attached directly to the station which supplies all its coal consumption needs. Its total generating capacity is 2,590 MW of electricity using the six power generating units ( two large units and four smaller units) located at the site. The plant's overall design can accommodate two additional large units to be built at a future date.
[28] Originally the power station was named Maor David after David Shiffman , then- chairman of the IEC who died during its lengthy period of construction. However, after the completion of a major expansion of the station in the 1990s and the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin , the station was renamed in his honor to Orot Rabin, for 'Rabin Lights '.
[29] Forth level: (Environment - pollution ) Orot Rabin has been accused of polluting the nearby Hadera Stream. [2 ] Greenpeace claims that the station pollutes the sea water when coal is unloaded from ships and the sea water used for cooling the plant ends up in the Hadera River which harms wildlife. [3 ]
[30] Sixth level: : (chemistry )Emissions reductions on coal units 'Orot Rabin'
[31] IEC website, 'Orot Rabin' in her room, has a production capacity of about 2,500
MW, is a widespread project to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides.
[32] The project is part of an extensive, improvement in reducing emissions of air
pollutants from coal-fired generating units of the company in her room - 'Rabin Lights' and Ashkelon - Rotenberg'.
[33] In the first stage, the company is building on 'Orot Rabin' facility removers - FGD to reduce sulfur dioxide and a catalyst - SCR reducing nitrogen oxides in two northern units whose number 5,6. The second stage will be converted to natural gas units 1,2,3,4 old.
[34] Scrubbers, corrects the SCR and the conversion to gas will contribute to a reduction of about 90% sulfur - dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the site.
[35] Seventh level: ( chemistry ) What are the removers ?
[36] Removers (FGD - Flue Gas Desulphurization) are facilities through which remove the sulfur - dioxide, emitted by coal burning process. Were detached action based on the process of adsorption of sulfur - dioxide dissolved the limestone in the water.
[37] The solution is based on the process of 'wet absorption' of sulfur - dioxide suspension limestone. At the end of the process are emitted from the chimney also water vapor, visible white fuzz. In addition, the facility received appropriate quality cast construction industry in Israel to create plaster walls.
[38] For the construction of a chimney scrubbers established a new site at 250 m, the height of two existing chimneys in the southern part of the site.
[39] Same technology has been around for several years on 'Rotenberg' Ashkelon and the world for many years. IEC accumulated experience and good operation of this technology.
[40] What is the catalyst?
[41] Treatment facility in nitrogen oxides Selective Catalytic Reduction SCR. Operation of the SCR system involves the injection of gases emitted by burning fuel and creating a process of redox (oxidation - reduction) of nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and water.

[67] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[68] According to one embodiment,
[69] Every data unit intended to customization passes a preparing process. This process splitting every data unit to multi sub units. The splitting will be performed such that every sub unit contains complete idea, these ideas linked so that they keep the logical structure of the whole concept, this situation is described in Figl, every subunit(4) classified according to number of variables that are in the data unit, mostly be field of interest(4) and deepening level. In order to customize data unit (1) to specific user will calculating a degree of compatibility (10) for every subunit (4) to the user. The degree of compatibility is a value calculated using the user's parameter and the parameter of the sub units, this value(lO) specify in Figure 2 on each subunit. In order to calculate this value many functions can be fit. According to one embodiment of the present invention, first we calculate the correlation between analogous parameters. To illustrate correlation between user's preference and the average of professional assessment and user's rating, and calculating correlation between deepening level required by the user and deepening level score of the data sub unit, summing two correlation values and multiply the result by factor that Increases with time and strives to a maximum value, as example (1-exp (-t/T)) where t: time, T: parameter describes typical time decline of the reminded, dependent of the user. In this figure (Fig2) also illustrated threshold of the degree of compatibility. Sub units compatibility under this threshold will be ignored. In order to illustrate the subunits (5) are under threshold they are shown in dark color. At this stage, have prepared the data unit (Fig 1) and calculate the degree of compatibility (Fig 2). Next stage, is to determine the delivery order (12), it is related to the user's logical thinking/understanding pattern. Cognitive science has recognized many patterns, including two emits patterns, one that fits understanding that goes from the General To Details (General To Details pattern), and for the second is better to provide the details and through constructs the whole concept (Details to Whole pattern). Figure 3 and Figure 4 illustrates General to Details pattern for two different users I.e. two different preferences. Comparison these two figures illustrates the difference in the type and depth of the information designed for each of them.
Figure 5 shows two lists (17 and 18) of data subunits (4) in the delivering order, these two lists (17 and 18) located side by side in order to facilitate identification of differences in the type and order of the data that have been designed to fit for each of them. This is an example which illustrates the significance of the customization. Delivering order goes with the logical structure. Beginning from the identification subunit and going with the logical structure while numerates the subunits. At every brunch choosing the brunch with high value of bunch compatibility (14), which is average of degree of compatibility for un-numbered sub-units on the branch, so on until the branch edge, then going back and marking at every subunit ignoring sign, until gets the previous branch. Then chosen highest bunch compatibility and going forward while numerating the unnumbered subunit. Repeating the above process until all the subunits of the data unit is ignored. Thereby, all the subunits are above the threshold are numerated in the delivering order.
[70] Figure 6 illustrate 'Details to Whole' pattern according to different user 'C I.e.
different preference. In this figure specified degree of compatibility (10) and delivering order (12). Delivering order determined by ranking according to the degree of compatibility. Figure 7 shows delivering subunits list. Note that successive subunits are not connected according to the content sequence. Successive subunits may provide separate sub concepts. According to these sub concepts the receiver will generate the whole concept.
[71] After decided about data subunits combatable for deliver and determining the delivering order obtaining customized data unit shown in Fig 5 and Fig 7, these customized data units will be connected as a list according to delivering order. Fig 8 illustrate the manner of connecting these customized data units; first adding note to specify the user's temporary details, and adding two pointers, one to a next customized data unit, another to previous customized data unit.
[72] Figure 9 describes the system include central data base and multi devices able to communicate. For POI with geographic context the device is able to operate in a fully automatic mode; able to detect POI in the user surrounds, detect POI in surrounding area and able to customize the relevant data units, ranking these data units in delivering order and provide the information to the user. If the user changes his location the system will Rearranging delivering data. Said ranking these data units in delivering order will performs according to many factors, according to one embodiment, is POIs degree of interest and distance to point of interest, travel direction and speed.
[73] CONCLUSION, RAMIFICATIONS, AND SCOPE
[74] In conclusion, the reader will see that according to one embodiment of the present invention, I provide methods, device and system that is capable of :
[75] Informing the user about the existence of Points Of Interest in the surrounding area.
[76] The system provides information about the detected Points of Interest.
[77] The system provides information about Points of Interest in a wide variety of disciplines.
[78] The system provides high-quality, professional and reliable information.
[79] The system provides information adjusted to the level of interest and to the in- clinations of the user. For example, devices for different users in the same place can provide different information. The system will provide one user with a lot of information about the environment and its components, animals and plants, etc., along with some archaeology and history. Alternately, for example, the system provides a little bit about the environment and ecology, and a lot about history and archeology. Moreover, the system also provides a lot of information about industrial and natural resources, and a bit about history, and so on.
This system can operate in full automatic mode; it can identify the Points of Interest, locates the relevant information, and organizes the Points of Interest according to the level of importance vis-a-vis the user. The device manages the information display. For example, in the case of driving, the device allocates section of the road which is most appropriate to display information concerning each Point of Interest. The device fits the level of deepening to the user's requirements.
The device releases the user from dealing with information management and displaying. The devise works with fully automatic operation, in a way that will leave the user free physically and mentally. In other words, operating the device will not be the concern the user. Therefore, the user can be free for other tasks like driving safety, or just focusing on absorbing the provided information.
While the above description contains much specificity, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of any embodiment, but rather as exemplifications of the presently preferred embodiments thereof. Many other ramifications and variations are possible within the instructions of the various embodiments. For example, the User's Surrounding Area can have any closed form, without being limited to circular or rectangular forms. It can have an elliptical or hexagonal shape. Other different forms are possible as well.
Or, for example, various embodiments may contain various parameters for setting priorities for the presentation of the Points of Interest, such as a parameter that describes that the user received this information in the past, and the number of times that he received this information about a particular Point of Interest. The adjustments made in the last use will prioritize the order of presenting this Point of Interest, and will affect choosing deepening levels that will be displayed on POL
Thus, the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, and not by the examples given.
