Abstract
Description
L'invention est relative aux installations destinées à informer les usagers d'un réseau d'autobus sur les temps d'attente des autobus aux arrêts de ce réseau.The invention relates to installations intended to inform the users of a bus network about the waiting times of buses at the stops of this network.
Elle concerne plus particulièrement celles, de ces installations, qui comprennent, d'une part, des moyens, comprenant eux-mêmes un poste central, pour recueillir des données identifiant les positions instantanées des différents autobus qui circulent sur les différentes lignes du réseau, des moyens pour élaborer à partir de ces données des signaux électriques d'information sur lesdites positions et des moyens pour émettre ces signaux par voie électromagnétique, et d'autre part, une pluralité de boîtiers récepteurs portatifs comprenant chacun des moyens pour recevoir les signaux ci-dessus et sélectionner ceux, de ces signaux, qui concernent les autobus attendus à un arrêt donné d'une ligne donnée du réseau et des moyens pour exploiter les signaux ainsi sélectionnés aux fins d'affichage des temps d'attente desdits autobus audit arrêt.It relates more particularly to those of these installations, which comprise, on the one hand, means, themselves comprising a central station, for collecting data identifying the instantaneous positions of the different buses which run on the different lines of the network, means for developing from this data electrical information signals on said positions and means for transmitting these signals electromagnetically, and on the other hand, a plurality of portable receiver boxes each comprising means for receiving the above signals above and select those, of these signals, which relate to the buses expected at a given stop on a given line of the network and means for exploiting the signals thus selected for the purpose of displaying the waiting times of said buses at said stop.
Une telle installation a par exemple été décrite dans le brevet FRANCE n° 92 09042 du demandeur.Such an installation has for example been described in the patent FRANCE No. 92,09042 of the applicant.
Ces installations sont très intéressantes pour les usagers détenteurs des boîtiers portatifs ci-dessus puisque ces usagers peuvent connaître les instants de passage des "prochains autobus" aux stations où ils se proposent de monter dans ces autobus, ce qui leur permet de gérer de façon à la fois beaucoup plus efficace et reposante les instants qui précèdent leur arrivée à la station de "montée".These installations are very interesting for the users holding the portable boxes above since these users can know the instants of passage of the "next buses" at the stations where they propose to board these buses, which allows them to manage so as to both much more efficient and relaxing the moments preceding their arrival at the "climb" station.
La présente invention a pour but d'améliorer encore ces installations sur plusieurs points.The object of the present invention is to further improve these installations on several points.
Il est à noter à cet égard que le service consistant à renseigner les usagers du réseau sur les temps d'attente des autobus à emprunter par ces usagers implique des frais d'équipement, de fonctionnement, de mise à jour, etc.It should be noted in this regard that the service consisting in informing network users about the times waiting for buses to be used by these users involves equipment, operating, updating, etc. costs.
L'entreprise qui gère ce service peut envisager de récupérer ses frais à l'occasion de la seule acquisition des récepteurs portatifs par les usagers.The company that manages this service may consider recovering its costs when users acquire portable receivers only.
Cette formule peut donner satisfaction dans certains cas.This formula can be satisfactory in certain cases.
Mais elle peut aussi présenter certains inconvénients, et en particulier les suivants :
- le prix de vente de chaque boîtier peut être considéré comme relativement élevé par son usager potentiel, ce qui peut freiner la diffusion desdits boîtiers, et donc limiter la rentabilité de l'installation,
- la formule ne tient pas compte de la durée d'usage effective de chaque boîtier, ce qui n'est pas équitable, les usages limités à une courte période étant défavorisés par rapport à ceux qui s'étendent sur des périodes plus longues.
- the selling price of each box can be considered relatively high by its potential user, which can slow down the distribution of said boxes, and therefore limit the profitability of the installation,
- the formula does not take into account the actual duration of use of each unit, which is not fair, uses limited to a short period being disadvantaged compared to those which extend over longer periods.
Les inventeurs ont donc eu l'idée d'associer à l'usage des boîtiers considérés des périodes payantes d'abonnement.The inventors therefore had the idea of associating the use of the boxes considered with paid subscription periods.
Cette formule présente le grand avantage de permettre une mise à la disposition du public gratuite ou quasiment gratuite des boîtiers portatifs, les usages effectifs de ces boîtiers n'étant autorisés qu'au cours de périodes d'abonnement appropriées moyennant le versement de redevances proportionnées par les usagers à l'entreprise exploitante.This formula has the great advantage of allowing the portable boxes to be made available to the public, free or almost free, the actual uses of these boxes being authorized only during appropriate subscription periods, subject to the payment of fees proportioned by users at the operating company.
L'invention a pour but, surtout, de rendre possible et même facile la mise en oeuvre d'une telle formule de fonctionnement basée sur des abonnements payants périodiques.The invention aims, above all, to make possible and even easy the implementation of such an operating formula based on periodic paid subscriptions.
A cet effet, les boîtiers récepteurs portatifs du genre en question selon l'invention sont essentiellement caractérisés en ce qu'ils comprennent :
- un circuit d'identification du boîtier comportant lui-même une mémoire se prêtant à l'enregistrement d'un symbole codé d'identification, et des moyens permettant de comparer à ce symbole enregistré les symboles du même type compris par des signaux électromagnétiques de contrôle reçus par le boîtier et pour asservir aux résultats corrects de ces comparaisons l'exécution des contrôles affectés à ces signaux,
- et un circuit de contrôle de validité du boîtier comprenant lui-même une mémoire se prêtant aux enregistrements successifs de symboles codés représentant des dates F "de fin d'abonnement" et des moyens pour comparer à chaque date F enregistrée au cours d'une période donnée les dates réelles R d'émission des signaux de contrôle ci-dessus au cours de cette période et pour asservir aux résultats corrects de ces comparaisons l'accès des signaux utiles aux circuits d'exploitation du boîtier.
- an identification circuit of the housing itself comprising a memory suitable for recording an encoded identification symbol, and means making it possible to compare with this recorded symbol the symbols of the same type understood by electromagnetic control signals received by the unit and to control the correct results of these comparisons by carrying out the checks assigned to these signals,
- and a circuit for checking the validity of the box itself comprising a memory suitable for successive registrations of coded symbols representing dates F "end of subscription" and means for comparing with each date F recorded during a period given the actual dates R of emission of the above control signals during this period and to control the correct results of these comparisons the access of the useful signals to the operating circuits of the box.
En d'autres termes, le boîtier est automatiquement neutralisé lorsque la date F est dépassée, c'est-à-dire dès que la période d'abonnement pour laquelle l'usager a acquitté la redevance correspondante est achevée.In other words, the box is automatically neutralized when the date F is exceeded, that is to say as soon as the subscription period for which the user has paid the corresponding fee is completed.
Bien entendu, l'installation d'information comprend en outre, au niveau de son poste central, des moyens pour élaborer et émettre les signaux électromagnétiques de contrôle codés propres, d'une part, à être identifiés par les boîtiers et, d'autre part, à comparer les dates réelles R aux dates de fin d'abonnement F enregistrées dans ces boîtiers.Of course, the information installation also comprises, at its central station, means for developing and transmitting the coded electromagnetic control signals suitable, on the one hand, for being identified by the boxes and, on the other hand on the other hand, to compare the actual dates R with the subscription end dates F recorded in these boxes.
Dans des modes de réalisation préférés, on a recours en outre à l'une et/ou à l'autre des dispositions suivantes :
- la mémoire adaptée à l'enregistrement des dates F de fin d'abonnement est agencée de façon telle qu'elle se prête au remplacement de chaque date de fin d'abonnement par une autre date moyennant la simple réception de signaux électriques appropriés, le poste central étant agencé de son côté de façon à élaborer et émettre de tels signaux de réabonnement,
- le boîtier portatif comprend un écran vidéo ainsi que des moyens pour afficher sur cet écran un message en clair signifiant la fin de l'abonnement ainsi qu'éventuellement les conséquences à en tirer dès que la date F de fin d'abonnement enregistrée dans le boîtier est dépassée.
- the memory suitable for recording the end of subscription dates F is arranged in such a way that it is suitable for replacing each end of subscription date with another date by simply receiving appropriate electrical signals, the central station being arranged on its side so as to develop and transmit such re-subscription signals,
- the portable unit comprises a video screen as well as means for displaying on this screen a clear message signifying the end of the subscription as well as possibly the consequences to be drawn therefrom as soon as the date F of end of subscription recorded in the unit is exceeded.
L'invention vise non seulement les installations d'information du genre en question dans leur généralité, mais également les boîtiers récepteurs portatifs compris par ces installations.The invention relates not only to information installations of the type in question in general, but also to portable receiver boxes included in these installations.
Elle comprend, mises à part les dispositions principales explicitées ci-dessus, certaines autres dispositions qui s'utilisent de préférence en même temps et dont il sera plus explicitement question ci-après.It includes, apart from the main provisions explained above, certain other provisions which are preferably used at the same time and which will be more explicitly discussed below.
Dans ce qui suit, l'on va décrire un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention en se référant au dessin ci-annexé d'une manière bien entendu non limitative.In what follows, a preferred embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawing, of course in a non-limiting manner.
Les figures 1 et 2 de ce dessin montrent très schématiquement un boîtier portatif conforme à l'invention, respectivement en son état valide correspondant à une période d'abonnement et en son état neutralisé en fin d'abonnement.Figures 1 and 2 of this drawing show very schematically a portable box according to the invention, respectively in its valid state corresponding to a subscription period and in its neutralized state at the end of the subscription.
On se propose d'informer les usagers des autobus d'un réseau urbain qui désirent monter dans un tel autobus à un arrêt ou station donné d'une ligne donnée dudit réseau, sur les temps d'attente réels des "prochains autobus" attendus à ladite station.It is proposed to inform the users of buses of an urban network who wish to board such a bus at a given stop or station of a given line of said network, on the actual waiting times of the "next buses" expected at said station.
A cet effet, comme indiqué par exemple dans le brevet FRANCE n° 92 09042 du demandeur, on prévoit des boîtiers portatifs 1 mis à la disposition des usagers et propres à coopérer avec un poste central conçu de façon à élaborer et à émettre cycliquement par voie électromagnétique des signaux d'information S sur les positions instantanées réelles respectives des autobus du réseau, lesdits boîtiers comportant chacun une source de courant électrique 2, des moyens d'interrogation actionnables par les usagers, propres à identifier chaque station de "montée" désirée, des moyens propres à recevoir les signaux ci-dessus et à sélectionner ceux, de ces signaux qui concernent au moins le "prochain autobus" attendu à la station identifiée, des moyens propres à élaborer des informations liées aux temps d'attente de ce prochain autobus à ladite station et des moyens, comprenant un écran vidéo 3, propres à afficher ces informations.To this end, as indicated for example in the patent FRANCE No. 92,09042 of the applicant, provision is made for portable boxes 1 made available to users and suitable for cooperating with a central station designed so as to develop and transmit cyclically by channel. electromagnetic information signals S on the respective actual instantaneous positions of the buses of the network, said boxes each comprising an electric
Les moyens d'interrogation, de réception, de sélection et d'élaboration ci-dessus comprennent en particulier une antenne réceptrice 4, un circuit 5 d'amplification, démodulation et décodage associé à cette antenne, des touches de commande 6 et des moyens de mémoire et de calcul 7 particulièrement légers et peu encombrants, notamment du type des microprocesseurs.The above interrogation, reception, selection and processing means include in particular a receiving antenna 4, an amplification, demodulation and decoding circuit 5 associated with this antenna,
Dans les modes de réalisation qui ont été proposés dans le brevet ci-dessus, la détermination et l'affichage des temps d'attente d'autobus peuvent être exécutés à tout instant, sous la commande des touches 6.In the embodiments which have been proposed in the above patent, the determination and display of the bus waiting times can be carried out at any time, under the control of the
Dans les présents modes de réalisation, on prévoit des moyens pour ne rendre possible une telle exécution que pendant des périodes d'abonnement prédéterminées et payantes et pour les interdire automatiquement en dehors de ces périodes.In the present embodiments, means are provided to make such execution possible only during predetermined and paid subscription periods and to automatically prohibit them outside these periods.
Ces moyens comprennent, dans chaque boîtier 1 :
- un
circuit 8 d'identification du boîtier comprenant une mémoire qui se prête à l'enregistrement d'un symbole codé d'identification, des moyens permettant de comparer à ce symbole des symboles du même genre qui accompagnent certains des signaux d'exploitation S ou "signaux de contrôle" et des moyens pour n'envoyer ces derniers signaux sur lasortie 9 duditcircuit 8 que si ladite comparaison révèle une identité, - et un
circuit 10 de contrôle de validité de la période d'abonnement relié à lasortie 9 et comportant unemémoire 11 qui se prête à l'enregistrement d'un symbole codé représentant une date F de fin d'abonnement, des moyens pour comparer à cette date codée la date codée réelle R d'élaboration de chaque signal de contrôle reçu, date qui accompagne ce signal ou qui est déterminée par une horloge portée par le boîtier, et des moyens pour asservir à toute réponse négative de cette comparaison une interdiction d'accès aucircuit 7 pour les signaux d'exploitation S.
- a
circuit 8 for identifying the box comprising a memory which lends itself to the recording of a coded identification symbol, means making it possible to compare symbols of the same kind with this symbol which accompany certain of the operating signals S or "control signals" and means for sending these latter signals to theoutput 9 of saidcircuit 8 only if said comparison reveals an identity, - and a
circuit 10 for checking the validity of the subscription period connected to theoutput 9 and comprising amemory 11 which lends itself to the recording of a coded symbol representing a date F of the end of subscription, means for comparing on this coded date the actual coded date R of preparation of each received control signal, date which accompanies this signal or which is determined by a clock carried by the housing, and means for slaving to any negative response to this comparison a ban access tocircuit 7 for the operating signals S.
Ces derniers moyens d'interdiction sont symbolisés sur les dessins par le cercle barré 12 monté sur le conducteur reliant entre eux les deux sous-ensembles 5 et 7.These latter prohibition means are symbolized in the drawings by the crossed-out
On voit en outre en 14 un conducteur reliant directement au circuit de contrôle 10 la sortie du circuit 5.We also see at 14 a conductor directly connecting to the
Par ailleurs, le poste central de l'installation comprend des moyens propres à engendrer les signaux électromagnétiques requis pour le fonctionnement, signaux porteurs de codes appropriés correspondant aux symboles d'identification des boîtiers, aux dates réelles R de mise en oeuvre effective de ces boîtiers, ou tout au moins aux comparaisons entre ces dates, élaborées à bord des boîtiers, et les dates F enregistrées dans ceux-ci, et, pour le mode de réalisation préféré décrit plus loin, aux dates des fins d'abonnement et de réabonnement.Furthermore, the central station of the installation comprises means suitable for generating the electromagnetic signals required for operation, signals carrying appropriate codes corresponding to the identification symbols of the boxes, on the actual dates R of effective implementation of these boxes. , or at least to the comparisons between these dates, prepared on board the boxes, and the dates F recorded in these, and, for the preferred embodiment described below, on the dates of subscription and resubscription.
On peut également faire comprendre audit poste central des moyens pour enregistrer les symboles d'identification des différents boîtiers 1 ainsi que les dates de fin d'abonnement associées à ces boîtiers.It is also possible to make said central station understand means for recording the identification symbols of the various boxes 1 as well as the subscription end dates associated with these boxes.
Le fonctionnement de l'installation est le suivant.The operation of the installation is as follows.
On suppose que l'abonnement souscrit par l'usager détenteur du boîtier 1 expire le 1er juillet 1993 dans le cas de la figure 1 et le 1er juin 1993 dans le cas de la figure 2 et que la date de mise en oeuvre réelle du boîtier est le 6 juin 1993.We assume that the subscription taken out by the user holder of box 1 expires on July 1, 1993 in the case of FIG. 1 and on June 1, 1993 in the case of FIG. 2 and that the actual implementation date of the box is June 6, 1993.
Dans le cas de la figure 1, la période d'abonnement correspondant au boîtier 1 n'est pas achevée.In the case of FIG. 1, the subscription period corresponding to the box 1 is not completed.
La commande des boutons 6 appropriés permet alors d'obtenir au gré de l'usager les affichages désirés des temps d'attente d'autobus sur l'écran 3.The control of the
En effet, les signaux S alors reçus par l'antenne 4 et traités par les circuits 5 sont appliqués sur les circuits de traitement 7 sans être interrompus au niveau du "verrou" 12.Indeed, the signals S then received by the antenna 4 and processed by the circuits 5 are applied to the
Ce verrou 12 est en effet maintenu dans sa position d'autorisation pour la double raison suivante :
- les signaux de contrôle sortant des circuits 5, puis des
circuits 8 après identification par le boîtier 1, sont appliqués sur lecircuit 10, et la comparaison temporelle alors effectuée dans ce dernier circuit entre la date réelle R et la date du 1er juillet 1993 y enregistrée révèle l'état de validité du boîtier à l'instant considéré, - indépendamment de toute identification du boîtier, la même vérification temporelle peut être effectuée au passage, à travers la
connexion 14, par tous les signaux d'exploitation S porteurs d'une identification adéquate des dates réelles R.
- the control signals leaving circuits 5, then
circuits 8 after identification by the box 1, are applied tocircuit 10, and the time comparison then carried out in this latter circuit between the actual date R and the date of July 1, 1993 y recorded reveals the state of validity of the case at the instant considered, - independently of any identification of the box, the same time verification can be carried out in passing, through the
connection 14, by all the operating signals S carrying an adequate identification of the real dates R.
Au contraire, dans le cas de la figure 2, la période d'abonnement correspondant au boîtier 1 est terminée.On the contrary, in the case of FIG. 2, the subscription period corresponding to the box 1 is ended.
Dans ce cas, les signaux d'exploitation sortant des circuits 5 ne peuvent atteindre les circuits 7, étant arrêtés au niveau du "verrou" 12.In this case, the operating signals leaving circuits 5 cannot reach
Ce verrou est en effet actionné par le fait que des signaux de contrôle après avoir été appliqués sur le circuit de comparaison 10 à travers le circuit 8 ou la connexion 14, ont subi dans ledit circuit 10 le contrôle négatif dû au fait que la date du 1er juin 1993 enregistrée dans celui-ci est dépassée : ce contrôle négatif a pour effet de placer le "verrou" 12 en sa position de fermeture.This lock is in fact actuated by the fact that control signals after having been applied to the
Les actionnements de l'usager sur les boutons 6 ne peuvent alors conduire à aucune conséquence utile au plan de l'affichage sur l'écran 3.The actuations of the user on the
Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la neutralisation du boîtier qui vient d'être décrite au niveau du verrou 12 s'accompagne de l'affichage d'un message en clair approprié sur l'écran 3.In a preferred embodiment, the neutralization of the box which has just been described at the level of the
Ce message est par exemple élaboré par le circuit schématisé par la référence 13 sur les dessins.This message is for example developed by the circuit shown diagrammatically by the
Ledit message peut être tout simplement "fin d'abonnement".Said message can simply be "end of subscription".
Il peut être accompagné d'une indication en clair donnant à l'usager la marche à suivre pour renouveler son abonnement.It can be accompanied by a clear indication giving the user the procedure to follow to renew his subscription.
Ce renouvellement peut être obtenu très simplement selon le mode de réalisation préféré suivant.This renewal can be obtained very simply according to the following preferred embodiment.
L'usager qui désire renouveler son abonnement exprime son désir à l'un des responsables de l'installation, de toute façon désirable, par exemple par échange direct avec celui-ci à un guichet, par téléphone, par l'intermédiaire d'un appareil automatique du genre de ceux connus sous la désignation "Minitel", etc., en acquittant en même temps le prix correspondant à la nouvelle période d'abonnement, le paiement correspondant pouvant être lui-même effectué de toute façon désirable, par exemple par communication des coordonnées d'une carte de crédit appartenant à l'usager, par prélèvement sur un compte bancaire de ce dernier, etc.The user who wishes to renew his subscription expresses his desire to one of the persons responsible for the installation, in any event desirable, for example by direct exchange with him at a counter, by telephone, through a automatic device of the kind of those known under the designation "Minitel", etc., by paying at the same time the price corresponding to the new subscription period, the corresponding payment being itself able to be made in any desirable manner, for example by communication of the coordinates of a credit card belonging to the user, by direct debit from a bank account of the latter, etc.
Dès lors, le responsable de l'installation fait élaborer et émettre par le poste central des signaux électromagnétiques correspondant au réabonnement désiré.From then on, the person responsible for the installation has electromagnetic signals corresponding to the desired subscription made and sent out by the central station.
Ces signaux, qui comprennent la nouvelle date F' de fin d'abonnement ainsi que le numéro d'identification du boîtier à revalider, sont, comme précédemment décrit, envoyés et reçus par les circuits 4, 5, 8 et 10, et ils sont agencés de façon à remplacer dans la mémoire 11 du boîtier 1 concerné la date périmée F de fin d'abonnement qui y était enregistrée par la nouvelle date F', postérieure à celle de l'opération de réabonnement.These signals, which include the new date F 'at the end of the subscription as well as the identification number of the box to be revalidated, are, as previously described, sent and received by
Le boîtier 1 est alors revalidé et l'usager peut à nouveau l'utiliser tout au long de la nouvelle période d'abonnement.The box 1 is then revalidated and the user can use it again throughout the new subscription period.
En suite de quoi, et quel que soit le mode de réalisation adopté, on dispose finalement d'une installation d'information des usagers d'un réseau d'autobus, installation dont la constitution et le fonctionnement résultent suffisamment de ce qui précède.As a result of this, and whatever the embodiment adopted, there is finally an information system for users of a bus network, an installation whose constitution and operation result sufficiently from the above.
Cette installation présente sur celles actuellement connues l'avantage qui consiste à réserver les privilèges de son exploitation à des abonnés ayant acquitté au préalable un droit d'abonnement approprié : cette formule permet en particulier de diffuser les boîtiers récepteurs portatifs de l'installation sur la base d'un prix d'acquisition unitaire modique, voire de la gratuité, les charges de l'entreprise gestionnaire de l'installation pouvant être alors récupérées essentiellement au niveau des abonnements.This installation has the advantage over those currently known, which consists in reserving the privileges of its operation to subscribers who have previously paid an appropriate subscription fee: this formula makes it possible in particular to broadcast the portable receiver boxes of the installation on the based on a low unit purchase price, or even free, the costs of the company managing the installation can then be recovered essentially at the level of subscriptions.
Comme il va de soi, et comme il résulte d'ailleurs déjà de ce qui précède, l'invention ne se limite nullement à ceux de ses modes d'application et de réalisation qui ont été plus spécialement envisagés ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes, notamment :
- celles où la date de fin d'abonnement F correspondant à chaque boîtier ne serait pas enregistrée telle quelle dans ce boîtier, mais sous une forme indirecte définie par exemple par l'ensemble d'une date de départ d'abonnement et d'une durée d'abonnement à compter de cette date,
- celles où les renouvellements des abonnements, obtenus par remplacement de la date de fin d'abonnement enregistrée dans la mémoire 11 par une date postérieure, seraient effectués à l'aide de signaux transmis non pas par voie électromagnétique, mais par fil,
- celles où les enregistrements et comparaisons relatifs aux signaux codés d'identification du boîtier et aux signaux codés représentant les dates seraient regroupés au lieu d'être séparés comme supposé ci-dessus en référence aux
circuits 8 et 10, - et celles où des codes spéciaux seraient affectés aux signaux de commande des réabonnements et/ou aux signaux de contrôle pour éviter tout risque de fraude.
- those where the end date of subscription F corresponding to each box would not be recorded as such in this box, but in an indirect form defined for example by the set of a start date of subscription and a duration subscription to count from this date,
- those where the renewals of the subscriptions, obtained by replacing the date of end of subscription recorded in the
memory 11 by a later date, would be carried out using signals transmitted not by electromagnetic means, but by wire, - those where the recordings and comparisons relating to the coded identification signals of the case and to the coded signals representing the dates would be grouped together instead of being separated as assumed above with reference to
8 and 10,circuits - and those where special codes would be assigned to the re-subscription control signals and / or control signals to avoid any risk of fraud.
