Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of triggering an event in a mobile apparatus based on the location of the mobile apparatus or on the calculated distance of the mobile apparatus from a predetermined point of interest (POI).
- POI point of interest
- This invention has particular but not exclusive application to the triggering of audio and/or visual systems in public transport vehicles such as planes, buses, trains and ferries.
- the system also has particular application in rental or private vehicles or could be carried by pedestrians.
- the system can also be used for fleet management.
- GPS Global Positioning Satellites
- the invention resides in a method of triggering an event in a mobile apparatus, the method including:- calculating the position of the apparatus; calculating the distance between the calculated position and a predetermined point; arming the apparatus when the calculated distance is not more than a predetermined arming distance; and triggering the event when the calculated distance is not more than a predetermined triggering distance or triggering the event when the calculated distance increases or triggering the event when the calculated distance is not less than the arming distance.
- the calculated distance may increase a limited amount without triggering the event.
- the limited amount is proportional to the calculated distance.
- the method further comprises determining the direction of travel of the apparatus and triggering the event only if the apparatus is travelling in a predetermined direction or range of directions.
- This is known as a direction sub-trigger and other sub-triggers based on variable parameters such as altitude, day, date, time, weather and velocity sub-triggers may be used.
- the apparatus includes a hand-held or vehicle mounted audio and/or visual system and the event is the playing of an audio and/or visual file.
- the event may be anything else such as the dimming of lights, the turning on of a "Fasten Seat Belts" sign, or the transmission of positional or other data back to base.
- the invention resides in a method of triggering an event in a mobile apparatus, the method including:- calculating the position of the apparatus; arming the apparatus when the calculated position enters a predetermined arming area; and triggering the event when the calculated position enters a predetermined triggering area or triggering the event when the calculated position exits the arming area.
- the invention resides in an apparatus including:- means for calculating the position of the apparatus; means for calculating the distance between the calculated position and a predetermined point; means for arming the apparatus when the calculated distance is not more than a predetermined arming distance; and means for triggering an event when the calculated distance is not more than a predetermined triggering distance or for triggering the event when the calculated distance increases or for triggering the event when the calculated distance is not less than the arming distance.
- the invention resides in an apparatus including:- means for calculating the position of the apparatus; means for arming the apparatus when the calculated position enters a predetermined arming area; and means for triggering the event when the calculated position enters a predetermined triggering area or for triggering the event when the calculated position exits the arming area.
- the invention resides in a method of triggering an event in a mobile apparatus, the method including:- triggering the event based on 1) the location of the apparatus, and
- variable parameter is the altitude, direction or velocity of travel of the mobile apparatus, or the day, date, weather or time. Most preferably, the variable parameter is the direction of travel of the mobile apparatus.
- FIG 1 is a schematic view of substantial area triggering according to the prior art
- FIG 2 is a schematic view of substantial area triggering according to the prior art
- FIG 3 is a schematic view of triggering according to the present invention without a triggering area
- FIG 4 is a schematic view of triggering according to the present invention with a triggering area
- FIG 5 is a schematic view of triggering according to the present invention with a triggering area and a direction sub-trigger;
- FIG 6 is a schematic view of triggering according to the present invention with a triggering area and a direction sub-trigger and an altitude sub-trigger;
- FIG 7 is a schematic view of triggering according to the present invention with a triggering area and a step ratio
- FIG 8 is a schematic view of triggering according to the present invention with a triggering area and a plurality of direction sub-triggers known as sector sub- triggers
- FIG 9 is a schematic view of a non-circular arming and triggering area.
- GPS positional information wanders due to several reasons.
- the US Department of Defense intentionally adds errors to the system to decrease accuracy for non-US military users. This means that whilst a GPS receiver is stationary its calculated position can wander up to 100 metres from its true position. Other errors can occur due to such things as ionospheric and tropospheric delays, and multi-pathing.
- DGPS Differential GPS
- RF Radio Frequency
- a practical predetermined triggering distance from the POI may be 100m to ensure that the event is not triggered after the POI has already been passed or too long before the POI is reached.
- a circular trigger area having a radius of 100m is defined about the POI as illustrated in FIG 1.
- the boundary of the circular trigger area may drift up to 100m.
- the event may be triggered when the true position of the GPS receiver is 200m from the POI or 0m from the POI. If the triggering area is reduced to a 10m radius as shown in FIG 2 then the event may not be triggered at all as the apparatus may fail to enter the smaller triggering area which of course will also drift.
- FIG 3 there is illustrated an example of armed area triggering according to the present invention.
- the event is triggered when the calculated distance from the POI increases after the apparatus has entered the arming area.
- This type of triggering is particularly useful in situations where the route being followed by the apparatus is not always consistent. For example, if the apparatus is installed in a ferry and circumstances dictate that the ferry must turn away from the POI before reaching the POI then the event will be triggered immediately after the point of closest approach.
- FIG 4 there is illustrated an example of a triggering system having both an arming area and a triggering area.
- the event is triggered if the calculated distance from the POI increases whilst within the armed area or if the apparatus enters the triggering area.
- the apparatus exits the arming area there is no triggering area and the event is triggered when the apparatus exits the arming area.
- This may be utilised for example when a ferry leaves its wharf and the exact wharf from which it leaves and the direction in which it leaves from the wharf is variable.
- the wharf area will be the arming area and the event will be triggered on exit.
- direction of approach can be used as a sub-trigger.
- the event will only be triggered if the apparatus approaches from a predetermined direction or range of directions. This is particularly useful when a fixed route closely passes a POI multiple times during a tour.
- an altitude sub-trigger has utility when the apparatus is mounted in a plane or the like. For example, it would be undesirable for "You are landing at Sydney Airport” to be played when you are, in fact, in a holding pattern above Sydney Airport.
- Other sub-triggers based on time, date, velocity or other parameters may be used such that the event is only triggered when these parameters are satisfied.
- FIG 8 there is illustrated an example of sector triggering.
- the approaches to the POI are divided into four 90 degree sectors although any number of variable size sectors could be used. Accordingly, if a pedestrian approaches from the northern sector then they would receive a message "On your right you will see", if they approached from the south they would hear “On your left you will see.", and if they approached from the east they would hear "Directly ahead of you .".
- the apparatus includes a mobile audio/visual system which is installed in a ferry, bus or train to provide information regarding, for example, points of interest, location of next stop, time of arrival etc.
- the system can also be used to send location, average speed etc data back to a central base.
- the invention therefore also provides an effective fleet management tool.
- the ferry, bus or train usually follows an established route. At certain points along the route it is desirable that audio/visual announcements be made, eg "On your right you will see", or "This train is now arriving at Central” etc.
- the system ensures that such announcements are made at the correct location without making any demands on the driver. The driver would, of course, be able to override the system or add further comments as necessary.
- the system may include a countdown timer or distance measurement which indicates to the driver when the next location triggered announcement will be made. Accordingly, the driver can add his or her comments without interrupting the next location triggered announcement.
- each file includes the relevant announcement followed by continuous filler music. When the subsequent location is reached the filler music is automatically faded and the next announcement made. In some situations it is desirable to "wait then play". For example, it may be desirable that a particular file be played at a location where there is no GPS reception, eg. in a tunnel. In this circumstance the file may be triggered as the vehicle enters the tunnel, however there may be a 30 second delay between triggering and playing.
- the system flag any files which have been played so that they can only be played once.
- the announcements are pre-recorded to audio/visual files and the POI at which they should be played is noted. This information together with route data is stored.
- the system is also compatible with non-fixed routes.
- the audio/visual system includes a differential global positioning system which determines the audio/visual system's position.
- the system also has provision for loss of satellite reception.
- the approximate position of the system will be estimated using one or more of time measuring means, distance measuring means and route data.
- a bus may include a tachometer which counts wheel revolutions since reception was lost and hence enables the calculation of a distance. This distance added onto the last GPS position along a predetermined route will give a good estimate of present position.
- Each individual on a tour may have a personal audio/visual system and the audio/visual files may be in a number of languages.
- a person on a tour may select their preferred language.
- the files may also be in a number of personalities or have different presenters to suit different tastes.
- the system could also be used to ensure that entertainment such as movies are played at the correct position en-route.
- the system includes a clock or sources time and date information from the satellite such that time specific announcements can be made, eg 15 minutes out of Australia the announcement might be "We will be arriving in Canberra at (present time plus 15 minutes)".
- the system may include other date, time, day, weather specific information. For example, an announcement may be "Good Morning (time), and welcome to Canberra on the chilly (weather) winter's (date) day”. Equally, certain files relating to tourist attractions which are closed on certain days can be suppressed on those days.
- the system may also include velocity specific announcements, eg. "You are travelling at 90km/hr and you are reminded that the speed limit at this location is 80km/hr".
- the files may be stored in any suitable medium and may be periodically updated, for example by RF link.
- files including news or current affairs can be regularly updated and other program material can be updated as required.
- the audio/visual files are stored on CD ROM from which the data is fed to a RAM buffer at a rate greater than the required output rate. This gives the system the opportunity to correct any errors caused by skipping of the CD ROM. Data is output from the RAM buffer to an digital-to-analogue converter.
- the system can be used as a fleet management tool. For example, specified locations having good mobile phone reception may be selected at which a bus or truck in transit may report via modem back to base with information such as position, average velocity, fuel consumption, etc. This avoids the need for the base to poll the vehicle which may be out of communication at the time that it is polled.
