- the system includes speakers (54) receiving the signal from an amplifier-tuner (53) connected to the electronic circuit (5) of the music synthesizer type designed to support a large number of input sources while providing an output having a quality of CD type (compact disc), such as for example the multimedia audio adapter with microprocessor, of the card type "Sound Blaster" SBP32AWE from Creative Labs Inc on which two buffers memory (56, 57) are added for the purpose explained later.
- CD type compact disc
- the display means control circuit also includes two buffer memories (66, 67) for the purpose explained below.
- a thermally regulated 240 watt ventilated power supply provides energy to the system. This power supply is protected against overcurrents and over-oscillations.
- the audiovisual reproduction system manages, through its input controller circuit (3), a 14 inch (35.56 cm) "Intelli Touch” touch screen (33) from Elo Touch Systems Inc, which includes a glass panel using "advanced surface wave technology" as well as an AT type bus controller.
- This touch screen allows after displaying on the video monitor (62) or television screen (61) various selection information used by customers, as well as command and control information used by the manager or owner of the system. It is also used for maintenance purposes in combination with an external keyboard (34) which can be connected to the system which has a keyboard connector for this, controlled by a key lock (32) through the interface circuit.
- the input circuit (3) also interfaces with the system a remote control assembly (31) consisting, for example:
- a steel frame or frame with customizable exterior fittings is also provided.
- the operating system software was developed around a library of tools and services largely oriented towards the audiovisual field in a multimedia universe. This library advantageously includes a high-performance multitasking operating system which effectively allows the simultaneous execution of multiple fragments of code. This operating software thus allows concurrent executions, in an orderly manner and avoiding any conflict, of operations carried out on the display means, the sound reproduction means as well as the management of telecommunications links through the distribution network. . In addition, this software offers great flexibility
- the digitized and compressed audiovisual data are stored in the storage means (21). Each selection is available in two digitized formats: with hi-fi quality or CD quality.
- the REG module is the registration mode module which, when activated for the first time or when approval for a new registration is required, indicates its software serial number and requests that the user enter his contact details. such as establishment name, address and telephone number.
- the RMM module is the "in service” mode module, which is the operating mode in which the system enters as soon as its registration number is validated. In this mode, the system is ready to handle any request that can be triggered by different predefined events, such as for example:
- the system transfers control of its foreground session to the CBSM module of client selection and exploration mode, server call requests from the telecommunications network: when the system detects a loop on the telephone line, it issues an asynchronous procedure background: the telecom service mode of the TSM module,
- the file containing the control values on the disk is in a machine format which is not readable.
- the file takes no more than 128 bytes of total disk space.
- the SSC module is the system security control module. This module provides security management, each system is in contact with a local controller system according to a pre-established time diagram for the acquisition of the approval signal, in the form of the registration number, authorizing it to operate. In addition, if fraud is detected or if the system can no longer communicate through the network, said system automatically stops working.
- the SPMM module allows the management of selections of music songs or video queued by the system for execution in the order of selection.
- the SMM module allows remote management of system settings by the manager using the remote control.
- the multitasking operating system is the essential element to allow the simultaneous execution of multiple fragments of code and to manage the priorities between the different tasks that wake up
- This multitasking operating system is organized, as shown in Figure 3, around a core comprising a module (11) for priority resolution between tasks, a module (12) task supervisor, a module (13) for serializing the equipment used and a module (14) for communication of process.
- Each of the modules communicates with interfaces (15) for programming applications and the database (16). There are as many programming interfaces as there are applications.
- the module (15) comprises a first programming interface (151) for the key switch (32), a second programming interface (152) for the remote control (31), a third programming interface (153) for the touch screen (33), a fourth programming interface (154) for the keyboard (34) a fifth programming interface (155) for the payment device (35), a sixth programming interface (156) for the circuit sound control (5), a seventh programming interface (157) for the video control circuit (6) and a final interface (158) for the telecommunications control circuit (4).
- the first (76) for video input / output has the highest priority
- the second (75) of level two concerns sound has the highest priority
- the third (74) level three telecommunications has the highest priority
- the fourth (73) level four interfaces has the fifth (70) level five management.
- These priority orders will be taken into account by the priority resolution module (11) as and as a task appears or disappears. So as soon as a video task appears, the other running tasks are suspended, priority is given to this task and all the resources of the system are allocated to the video task.
- the purpose of the output video task (76) is to download the video files from the mass memory (21) alternately to one of the two buffers (66, 67) while the other buffer (67, respectively 66) is used by the video controller circuit (6) to produce the display after data decompression.
- the video task (76) aims to transfer the data received in the telecommunications buffer (46) to the mass memory (21). It is the same for the sound task (75), on the one hand at the input between the telecommunication buffer (46) and the buffer (26) in the mass memory (21) and on the other hand at the output between the buffer (26) from the mass memory (21) and one of the two buffers (56, 57) of the sound controller circuit (5).
- the task supervisor module (12) will now be described in conjunction with FIG. 4.
- This module performs, in order of priority, a first test (761) to determine whether the video task is active, ie if a video buffers (66, 67) is empty. If the answer is negative, the task supervisor module goes to the next test which is a second test (751) to determine whether the sound task is active, that is to say if one of the buffers (56, 57) is empty. . In the event of a negative response, a third test (741) determines whether the communication task is active, that is to say if the buffer (46) is empty.
- the task supervisor module (12) fills in step (131) the request queue (13) for memory access and performs in step (132) this request by reading or writing between the mass memory (21) and the buffer corresponding to the active task, then loops back to the first test.
- the supervisor (12) performs a test (742) to determine whether it is a question of reading or writing information in memory. If yes, the write or read request is put in the queue in step (131). Otherwise, the supervisor determines in step (743) whether it is a transmission or a reception and in the case of a transmission sends by step (744) the information block. to the central server.
- the supervisor (12) sets the respective status buffer (s) (821) for the hard disk, (831) for the interface, (841) for telecommunications, (851) for sound, (861) for video corresponding to the material in a logical state illustrating the activity. Otherwise, the supervisor status buffers are reset in step (800) to a value illustrating inactivity.
- the system operation status is maintained on hard drive.
- the system Whenever a notable event is triggered, the system immediately records it on the disk.
- the file is in machine format only readable by the unit and takes no more than 64 bytes.
- the number and type of active tasks is indicated to the supervisor (12) by the execution of the module for managing the SPMM selections, the flow diagram of which is represented in FIG. 6.
- the management performed by this module begins with a test (61) for determine if any selections are pending in the queue.
- test (61) on the queue determines that selections are pending, when a client selects a song he wishes to hear, it is automatically written to a queue file of the system on the hard drive.
- each selection made will never be lost in the event of a power failure.
- the system plays (reproduced) the entire selection before removing it from the queue file.
- the system checks whether there are others in the waiting file. If there is another, the system immediately starts playing the selection.
- the total time between the end of one selection and the start of the next is less than 0.5 seconds. It is possible to extend this delay using a button located in the system control panel.
- the processing continues with a test (65) to determine whether the selection contains an audio scenario. If yes, this scenario is entered in step (651) in the supervisor's task queue (12). If not, or after this registration, the processing continues with a test (66) to determine whether the selection contains animated images. If so, the video scenario is entered in step (661) in the supervisor's task queue (12). If not or if so after this registration, the processing continues with a test (64) to determine whether the selection contains a fixed graph. If so, the graphic presentation scenario is entered in step (641) in the supervisor's task queue (12). If not or if so after this registration, the processing continues with a test (63) to determine whether the selection contains an advertising scenario. If so, the scenario is entered at step (631) in the supervisor's task queue (12). So the supervisor (12) informed of open tasks can manage the progress of tasks simultaneously.
- the multitasking operating system including a library containing a set of tools and services, makes it possible to significantly facilitate the operation due to its integration in the storage means and the great flexibility thus provided.
- the audiovisual information is digitized and stored in the storage means, it is used considerably less space than for a traditional audiovisual reproduction system and therefore the size of the system according to the invention is much less. Any modifications within the reach of the skilled person is also part of the invention. So when it comes to buffers, it is recalled that they can be present either physically on the circuit to which they are assigned or made by software by reserving storage locations in the system memory.
