Background Art

[4]

Intelligent traffic system (  System   Transportation ITS-Intelligent) by the United States in the early 20 century 60 beginning of the 1990s, research and development, is due to the road traffic in order to reduce the transportation costs and hazards, ensuring the road traffic safety, and so establishing a special organization, the strategy for the development of intelligent traffic system. Japan and Europe is also thereafter began to get involved in this field, respectively.

[5]

In the 20 century 80 years, the recognition of an intelligent traffic system changes in the detailed, the pedestrian travel the auxiliary system. Pedestrian travel assist system very high density of the population of the Asian city is the subject of a very practical significance. But usually in this respect there is only a simple demand analysis, and did not see in particular to implementation of technical measures.

[6]

Pedestrian when going out, the biggest problems encountered is the navigation problem. And to the destination along the route are not familiar with the pedestrian speaking, way how the problem is the need to first address. This also is to walk out the auxiliary system of the reasons for not interested in, that for to the field person. Because usually there will be no need for local navigation problem, even if there is, will also be resolved quickly, stumps they will not. However, this does not illustrate local it is not necessary to the pedestrian travel assist system.

[7]

When people open the map, when the travel route begin planning, it is first of all necessary to the difficulties encountered is the destination of an unfamiliar must be determined what position the map, then the intricate overlap on the network of the public traffic routes, the satisfaction of a parsing on public transport and walking combined travel route.

[8]

While this process does not require very high skills, but even with very high skills, also on the map can not be rapidly solved to determine the position of an unknown destination problem. In particular, when the city increasingly large, increasingly busy, the map-is relatively more and more small, an increasing number of information is omitted from the map, to the extent that we could not find what we need the details of the cities.

[9]

In fact the intelligent traffic system concept, pedestrian travel the auxiliary system is not only navigation problem is to solve the problems, there are also help pedestrian correct and safe use of road facilities and the efficient use of the public transport system.

[27]

With now reference to illustrate the invention one preferred embodiment (hereinafter referred to as embodiments).

[28]

Figure 1 is the pedestrian travel assist system block diagram of a complete. In this embodiment the pedestrian terminal (hereinafter referred to as pedestrian terminal) has and the landmark electronic stop sign of public transport or the pedestrian information in the form of wireless radio frequency communication mode of clinics. Pedestrian terminal can be read through the communication means and the landmark information, such as through electronic stop log on pedestrian information clinics and downloaded navigation application navigation center. Furthermore, pedestrian information can also be provided with clinics in other public facilities, such as banquettes intelligent signal lamp, such as public telephone booth.

[29]

Figure 2 is shown in this embodiment of the pedestrian terminal, the mobile telephone to the navigation center of the function of the logging service. This kind of pedestrian to terminal appearance and function the same as with an ordinary mobile phone, only built-in the landmark recognition device, with the function of the terminals. The type of pedestrian terminal also can rely on the data interface of the mobile telephone itself is connected with a computer, a navigation center to pedestrians on the professional website routeings and by self-setting of the electronic map download. In the terminal in this kind of pedestrian, landmark recognition device for a shared memory with a mobile phone, and input and output devices with external data interface, landmark special antenna of the identification device can be mounted on a mobile phone battery on the back of the seat back or a rechargeable battery.

[30]

The landmark may be placed in each corner of the cell, each floor and the cell outside the edge of the road, public transport stop board, in a subway station, telephone booth, to turn on the sidewalk, pole, on the blind, various public venues and inside and outside at the various attractions in the park, and in order to clear the mounting position of the prompt of landmarks marked, in order to prompt the pedestrian to obtain the position of the local information. The landmark the maximum density can be spaced 1 m or even more than ten cm, the minimum density can be 50 meters or more. According to the cities may also be 50 meters interval, from well cecullar placing the landmark.

[31]

The landmark which is composed of a passive non-contact with a radio frequency recognition mark. Its physical, is configured as a micro chip and a transmitting and receiving antenna for a total. The landmark pedestrian terminal work energy from the excitation signal by an antenna. The landmark receiving antenna receiving the excitation signal, the excitation signal in the one hand, the digital information as a work instruction from the pedestrian terminal extracted, the excitation signal in the one hand, the energy converted into electrical energy to be stored in the capacitor, in order to as transmitting its own built-in information of the kind of energy.

[32]

The pedestrian terminal received after a work instruction, its built-in miniature the operating system will drive its own circuit will be stored in the memory in the information through its own encoding or directly after coding of the transmitted modulation demodulator. The transmitted code can include a non-contact radio frequency identification device's own factory system coding. The coding is the same type of products in the world only, will not be the same coding factory system other landmark, even different manufacturers non-contact radio frequency identification device. In addition to encoding factory system outer, landmark also fired with built-in application code, the code is determined by the application provider.

[33]

The landmark is stored in the information in the memory of the electronic document, can be directly used as the terminal receives and by pedestrians can be performed on the terminal content in the direct output of the output device. Direct information stored landmark and is not stored directly in the landmark of information encoded in the form of marked on indirect information distinction thereof. When the pedestrian terminal receives the indirect information icon, the pedestrian terminal checking indirect information, if said landmark also have a direct information, pedestrian terminal will again and the landmark to establish the communication, landmark transmitting direct information and instructions.

[34]

If the pedestrian terminal receives said landmark indirect information in the landmark no direct information, the pedestrian terminal has been downloaded to the landmark in internal memory in the sequence having the same coding for landmark recording. As table 1 shows, in a sequence of the landmark numbering each landmark, due to the application of the information content of the use. The landmark after the identified, the corresponding information is in the application of the landmark direct information the same person terminal bocom processing mode of the output device output to the terminal holder.

[35]

Pedestrian terminal output device comprises a display screen and sound device. Direct the information may be the document text content, can also be a multimedia audio-video file. Obtained in the form of a pedestrian can enrich the information relating to the landmark. If a standard factory system to internal memory of the chip to accommodate a large multimedia file, several chip can be used for a landmark in the, terminal by pedestrians the order they are to be read, then the spliced in the terminals to form a complete multimedia document. Sightseeing attractions multimedia ommentary can adopt this way.

[36]

Non-contact radio frequency identification marker as a category name of the product has been in widespread use in modern life. In order to non-contact radio frequency card as a form of public transport vehicle electronic ticket and parking highway at a high speed through a plurality of electronic charge, has long been used in our lives. Its detailed operation process will not repeat them and working principle.

[37]

Providing the local telecommunications the wired telephone machine addresses can be specific to a certain building or public telephone booth. Buildings and public telephone booth can be placed in near-earth position of the landmark. In the navigation center in the database of a computer system, storage all the installation position of the landmark, landmark numbering. Landmark can be used as the necessary doorplate or the floor plate. All the navigation center of the landmark can be directly displayed on the electronic map. Pedestrian when the starting and of the terminal report destination, the route computing software navigation center, determined according to the sequence by a landmark of walking route is connected with. If the pedestrian designated take the bus, navigation center need to route bus, transfer route optimization selection, and is inserted in between the two landmark is determined. These two landmark is to take the bus stop board of the landmark and the lower stop board landmark. After the line is determined, according to the landmark navigation centre information of the database, as a landmark sequence into the line, and in a sequence order according to a landmark, building landmark application information one by one, to form table 2 the placemark application information is shown.

[38]

At the same time should the pedestrian navigation center to the periphery for a certain distance in the determination of the route terrestrial reference group within, and to establish a corresponding application of the blocks, in order to guide the line designated pedestrian trend, as shown in table 3 is shown. The final computer system will be the whole landmark with the landmarks sequence according to the application information required by user login information in the download mode, back to the pedestrian terminal. Pedestrian if deviating from a predetermined route, by means of a peripheral icon information can be returned to the specified route for guiding pedestrians corresponding landmark point.

[39]

Figure 3 is a pedestrian from the navigation center to apply for a public transport vehicle of the walking route after getting off. In the picture for public transport A station of the automobile, a destination F. A → B → C → D → E → pedestrian from the navigation center is F the walking route is downloaded. C1, C2 and C3 in the landmark sequence is that the line of the periphery of the point C landmark. By the same token the D1, D2, E1, E2 and F1. Fig. 3 an exemplary bank of application only the periphery of a landmark auxiliary, if the application is a two stage, or a three-stage, can make the d3 include the D2 landmark in the sequence of the periphery of the.

[40]

Route calculation software is the basic application tool of the electronic map, Dijkstra method is a known method for calculating route, its operating principle will not repeat.

[41]

Because the pedestrian information clinics electronic stop by means of public transport, convenient and the pedestrian provide a security navigation center. Pedestrian to walk a short distance and long distance by way of public transport, and therefore it is most closely related to public traffic stop board. The present electronic stop board of public transport vehicle can be forecasted have been incoming time and the function of the position of the vehicle is facing. These electronic stop plate in a wired or wireless way, public transport the basket with the center of the capacity of the real-time communication, therefore these electronic stop sign as pedestrians travel information of the auxiliary system is most suitable for the exchange station. These electronic stop is also in communication with the terminals of the radio frequency communication device, the different wireless radio frequency communication device is compared to a landmark in addition to the active device, it also can and pedestrian terminal content more complex communication.

[42]

With the pedestrian terminal in the communication process, electronic on the performance of the wireless radio frequency device like the landmark the pedestrian terminal is like under the initiative of the terminal of the passive mode. But also with regard to its active. For example, it will take the initiative to avoid a plurality of pedestrian terminal to the access conflicts caused at the same time, the active training a plurality of pedestrian terminal better the establishment of sequential access mechanism.

[43]

A more complex situation is similar in the tour scenic spot area. A group of tourists their respective hand-held terminals of the sightseeing spots landmark around half of the even phase in a plurality of non-contact radio frequency identification marker of a landmark point to get attractions ommentary or multimedia files of the case. Consists of a plurality of independent non-contact radio frequency identification marker of a landmark in a random and to a plurality of terminals the instruction requiring access to the left before it will be possible, because of different non-contact radio frequency identification marker for different pedestrian terminal a response to different requirements, and these non-contact radio frequency identification marker also work on the same frequency, the resulting confusion can be known. When such a situation occurs in electronic station sign place as the pedestrian terminal, electronic stop sign can urge all around in their terminals established between access mechanisms in a proper order.

[44]

In a non-contact in radio frequency card technology, when one of the plurality of radio frequency card in the card reader, the card reader can access the radio frequency card the establishment of a mechanism in a proper order. This kind of mechanism known as the anti-collision mechanism. The specific work of the mechanism the principle detail is not done.

[45]

The presence of such multi-theory of the multi-card anti-collision mechanism work procedures, but almost any a radio frequency card chip manufacturers have been able to establish themselves in the products of this kind of anti-collision mechanism, because almost all the card reader in order to almost all of the "live" of the work under the state, never thought to be in the multi-card reader and a plurality of cards for this kind of "cry children, adults called" work under the chaotic environment. However, it is undeniable that is, human in this context can be established the order of the sequential dialogue, therefore, as a mimic of human work machine also will be able to "learn" human this kind of exchange techniques.

[46]

The establishment of such a mechanism, the key is established between the terminals of the landmark sequential access, then a single machine can be followed to a plurality of cards for the normal manner.

[47]

Apart from the landmark and pedestrian information clinics outside communication, the communication mode of the same, the pedestrian terminal station can also be intelligent banquettes signal lamp and intelligent public facilities communication. For example, the terminals have a legitimate the identity of the holder of the data, such as identification number, there is at least one age parameter. The intelligent banquettes signal lamp, know that the passers-age, can be according to a statistical standard, in a manner according to the ages, one time, the green light in front of the signal lamp, the mobility according to the pedestrian crowd the pedestrian age opening long enough time of movement, in order to give consideration to the old and Young pedestrian. Such can be provided with sufficient the protection of pedestrians on the basis of the crossing time, the waiting time of the vehicle is reduced as much as possible.

[48]

Furthermore, the intelligent banquettes signal lamp is provided with a clock and a processor, with the traffic management and data path structure. If pedestrians in crossing the waiting time before the pedestrian use in the terminal log on intelligent banquettes signal lamp, a signal lamp on the person in front of the number of crossing can be calculated, in order to determine the timing of opening the pedestrian passage. The statistical results day after day, can make the traffic management mechanism in the one-day what will be the time for which the number of people are in the past from the opposite side of the side of the road, so as to provide valuable traffic management structure of the pedestrian traffic information.

[49]

High positioning precision line of business person auxiliary system, networking low cost, easy maintenance and the development of application, can be widely used for the navigation of vehicles and pedestrians, and visitors tour the fields of the for the blind.
