Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an entertainment system, and more particular, to an entertainment system for an automotive vehicle such as a bus, a train, an aircraft or the like, that delivers video and audio to passengers through a plurality of channels.
  • bus companies will typically install a basic entertainment unit on board the bus.
  • This entertainment unit is usually in the form of audio players to provide music and announcements, and/or a visual display unit connected to a media player, for example a VCR, VCD or DVD player.
  • a visual display unit connected to a media player, for example a VCR, VCD or DVD player.
  • Some coaches have more than one visual display unit, connected to the common media player.
  • the type of entertainment provided is largely dependent on the variety of programmes or content (for example, movies, comedies, location videos, music) available on board the vehicle, and the entertainment is provided only when the driver, or authorised operator or assistant on board the vehicle thinks fit.
  • One of the disadvantages of such a system is that all passengers on board have to view or listen to the same entertainment programme or content provided on board.
  • Media storage is in the form of tapes, cassettes, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs. Passenger transport companies will have to make a physical selection of media storage to perform the different media function via the respective media players. For larger travel and tourism companies, they have to maintain and supply thousands of media storage units. If new media material arrives, old media storage unit have to be thrown away and again maintaining of new media storage units.
  • each of their vehicles can be a logistics nightmare.
  • the variety of programme or content has to be updated from time to time, so as to provide fresh entertainment for repeat passengers.
  • these vehicles will have to be identified, and updated programme or content relating to the new route has to be provided to each and every one of the vehicles.
  • the driver or authorised operator or assistant driver has to physically make the change on the media player, for example, to load in new programme material or to change a programme.
  • the vehicle is usually left stationary during such exchanges, leading to a lengthened journey time.
  • the media storage players discussed above supply fixed announcements made during the journey taken by a vehicle and maintaining them is very cumbersome. For example, selection of the desired announcement from a CD player or similar is very difficult and, in most instances, require more than one media.
  • the driver or authorised operator or his assistant has to turn off all input devices so as to allow all the passengers in the vehicle hear the announcement.
  • an entertainment system for a vehicle comprising: (a) a storage unit for receiving and storing a plurality of media files; (b) a processor for retrieving and converting the media files into audio and/or video content and creating audio and/or video content; and (c) a distribution means to allow the output of the audio and/or video content to passengers in the vehicle.
  • the storage unit includes hard disk storage or any solid state device storage.
  • the distribution means has a plurality of outlets which can output multiple audio and video channels. Still more preferably, each passenger can access up to 4 video and 240 audio output channels by a distribution system.
