Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the geographical selection of digitally coded messages which are broadcast by a plurality of transmitters and contain location information which is compared in receivers with selection information which is dependent on the respective position of the receivers, and a receiver with a device for the selection of digitally coded messages .
  • Spoken traffic announcements have been known for a long time to inform motorists. These have various disadvantages, for example delays and inaccuracies, which are associated with the manual and thus also subjective recording and forwarding of the information. So it happens, for example, that a driver gets into a traffic jam that has not (yet) been announced, or that, despite a traffic jam warning, he can drive on the road in question relatively trouble-free when he arrives at the designated point. A more precise recording and faster transmission has become possible with the aid of the system for the transmission of digitally coded traffic reports that has become known in recent years.
  • Digitally coded traffic reports - hereinafter also referred to as TMC messages - can be transmitted using the radio data system (RDS), which enables additional and inaudible transmission of digital data in parallel with radio programs in a data channel.
  • RDS radio data system
  • Specifications of the radio data system for VHF radio can be found in Tech. 3244 - E, March 1984 of the European Runfunk Union (EBU). Broadcast receivers with suitable RDS decoders can record and decode transmitted data in addition to audio reception with the same receiver.
  • TMC system When the TMC system is introduced, a very large number of TMC messages can be expected, of which only a small part is of interest to the respective driver.
  • An essential quality feature of future recipients for Digitally coded messages will therefore be used to filter out or select the messages relevant to the driver from the large number of messages received, and thus to protect the driver from information overload.
  • a position-related selection is advantageous, but requires knowledge of the position of the recipient, that is, the vehicle.
  • the position possibly also an approximate position.
  • the position can be entered manually using area and route codes, which is too inflexible and cumbersome for longer journeys.
  • Coupling the RDS / TMC receiver with a navigation system - for example GPS - requires additional technical effort and thus more costs.
  • the object of the present invention is to enable a position-related selection without additional operating effort and with the least possible technical effort.
  • this object is achieved in that the transmitters also transmit selection information which characterizes their respective transmission area and which is compared in the receiver with location information contained in the messages.
  • the method according to the invention uses only the data that is already present in the receiver for decoding the messages.
  • the accuracy achieved is less than that of a navigation system, but it is quite high enough for the selection of messages.
  • a change in the frequency or the program information codes of one or more transmitters is irrelevant for the method according to the invention, as long as those emitted by the transmitter Selection information is retained.
  • the method can be used particularly advantageously with receivers of this type which automatically search for stations and tune reception conditions to the strongest station of a desired program.
  • the method according to the invention can also be used in so-called one-tuner devices since no field strength measurements have to be carried out on other frequencies.
  • the service can also be selected on the basis of the selection information, in particular the area codes. If the system knows the destination of the trip, for example, it can select the TMC service whose area code contains the destination, since this ensures that all messages relevant to the route are selected.
  • the method is also not dependent on certain RDS details and can also be used on other transmission media, e.g. DAB, AMDS.
  • the selection information is location codes from areas defined for the coding and decoding of the messages, which at least partially fall within the transmission range.
  • These location codes - also referred to below as area codes - can be used directly by the recipient as a selection criterion, since all the locations defined for the coding and decoding of the messages are referenced to such area codes. That means: only those messages pass the filter whose primary or secondary location is within the area defined by the area code.
  • a second embodiment of the method according to the invention is that the selection information is coordinates and radii of the transmission areas. The radius simplifies the range of the respective transmitter. In order to use this selection information in the receiver, the location coordinates for each location code must also be saved. Since this is also a prerequisite for a graphical representation of the traffic situation, such data are often already included in the list of locations and can also be used for the method according to the invention.
  • the second configuration may be more advantageous, since the area of coverage could only be described inaccurately either by specifying a large area (federal state) or with many small areas. Since each code requires 16 bits of transmission capacity, the decision to make the imprecise solution will often be made when determining the sender.
  • the accuracy is greatest.
  • the same selection information it is also possible for the same selection information to be broadcast in each case by a group of transmitters.
  • the selection information and reference information for the selection information are transmitted in system messages of a data stream containing the digitally coded messages.
  • the TMC signal according to ALERTC contains four system messages, which are differentiated by the first two bits of block C.
  • the first of these variants with code 00 can be used for transmission in this development the selection information is used. It is preferably provided that the following information is transmitted in a first data block: an identifier that selection information is transmitted, the number of a location list required for decoding the messages in the receiver and information about the type of selection information.
  • the information about the type of selection information is also transmitted by a bit, which indicates whether the Selection information consists of location codes of areas or coordinates and radii.
  • the first data block also transmits how many location codes are followed by areas. A location code of an area can be transmitted in at least one further data block.
  • the development of the method according to the invention can be designed such that the radius is transmitted in the first data block and the coordinates are transmitted in a further data block.
  • a receiver according to the invention with a device for the selection of digitally coded messages which are broadcast by a plurality of transmitters, contain location information and are selected in the receiver according to selection information dependent on the respective position of the receiver, the object according to the invention is achieved in that the receiver also has a Device for receiving selection information which is broadcast by transmitters and characterizes the transmission range of the respective transmitter, and a facility for comparing the

Although it is weaker to receive than the transmitter x, the chooses Receiver this transmitter because the target point E is in area 7 and only the transmitter z references this area. The selection then only takes into account the messages from areas G3 and G4, which corresponds to the intersection of the areas specified by transmitters x and z.
