METHOD FOR BROADCASTING MULTIMEDIA TO PASSENGERS TRAVELLING ON A TRANSPORT VEHICLE

摘要

The broadcast method comprises a multimedia broadcast system for broadcasting stored audio, video, graphic and/or text messages to passengers on transit vehicles that travel a predetermined route in areas where traditional multimedia broadcast is not available. The system includes a multimedia program source (20) for generating the multimedia data for broadcast, one or more distribution transceivers (9) along the predetermined route that stores multimedia data and wirelessly transmits the data to at least one transit transceiver (5) located on the transit vehicles (110, 112 and 114) while the vehicle are stationary at a location corresponding to the distribution transceiver (5). The multimedia data is updated and encoded at the multimedia program source (20) and distributed to the distribution transceivers (9). When a transit vehicle (110, 112 and 114) is within range of the distribution transceiver (9), the updated multimedia data is wirelessly transmitted to the transit transceiver (5).
