Abstract:
A system for providing character-based information for a moving object, the system comprising:first and second scheduler; a first receiving means for receiving and demodulating present position information indicating a present position of the moving object; a second receiving means for receiving and demodulating control information and character-based information from a character radio paging network providing the character-based information; a first store means for storing the character-based information received from the second receiving means; a second store means for storing picture information to be used as a background picture when the character-based information is outputted; a third store means for storing control signals received from the second receiving means and operator information directly inputted by an operator; a fourth store means for storing previously generated position information related to a travel of the moving object; a fifth store means for storing an announcement for the present moving position of the moving object; a sixth store means for storing picture information to be used as a background picture when the announcement is outputted; a control means for extracting useful information from the first, second and third store means or extracting the announcement stored in the fifth and sixth store means under control of the first scheduler in case where the present position information received from the first receiving means is consistent with the previously generated position information stored in the fourth store means; an output means for outputting the information stored in the first, second, third, fifth and sixth store means; a third receiving means for receiving character-based information from an external provider; a seventh store means for storing the character-based information received from the third receiving means and control information from an external operator; and a transmitting means for extracting the character-based and control information stored in the seventh store means and outputting the character-based and control information stored in the seventh store means to the second receiving means in response to a the second scheduler.
