Abstract

An apparatus for transmitting/receiving destination wake-up information through communication satellite network is disclosed. The apparatus includes: an input/output unit for receiving ticketing data from an external device, transmitting the ticketing data to a storing unit and outputting the ticketing data to a baseband processing unit by reading from the storing unit according to transmission conditions; a storing unit for storing the ticketing data based on a control of the controlling unit; a baseband processing unit for converting the ticketing data into a baseband signal; and a wireless transceiving unit for converting the baseband signal into a wireless signal and emitting the wireless signal through a satellite antenna.

Claims

1. An apparatus for transmitting destination wake-up information through a satellite communication network, the apparatus comprising:

an input/output means for receiving ticketing data from an external device, transmitting the ticketing data to a storing means and outputting the ticketing data to a baseband processing means by reading from the storing means according to transmission conditions;

a storing means for storing the ticketing data;

a baseband processing means for converting the ticketing data into a baseband signal; and

a wireless transceiving means for converting the baseband signal into a wireless signal and emitting the wireless signal through a satellite antenna.

2. The apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein the ticketing data includes a departing station field, an arriving station field, an identification field and a seat number field.

3. An apparatus for receiving destination wake-up information through a satellite communication network, the apparatus comprising:

a wireless transceiving means for receiving a wireless signal from an apparatus for transmitting destination wake-up information through a communication satellite and a wireless signal including navigation data from a navigation satellite, converting the wireless signals into baseband signals and transmitting the baseband signals to a baseband processing means;

a baseband processing means for converting the baseband signal into ticketing data or the navigation data and transmitting the ticketing data or the navigation data;

a controlling means for receiving and storing the ticketing data from the baseband processing means, selecting a target seat to be informed destination wake-up information by comparing position information extracted from the navigation data to the ticketing data stored in the storing means and informing the target seat that destination is almost arrived by operating a destination wake-up apparatus;

a storing means for storing the ticketing data; and

a destination wake-up means for outputting a destination wake-up signal according to a control of the controlling means.

4. The apparatus as recited in claim 3, wherein the destination wake-up means is built in a seat of transportation as a seat belt provided with vibrators and generates vibration, to thereby inform the target seat of arrival at the destination.
