System and Method for Informing Public Transport Vehicle Arrival Information
First Claim
1. A system for informing public transport vehicle arrival information, comprising:
- a plurality of on-board devices installed on respective public transport vehicles, each of the on-board device having a transceiver for transmitting and receiving data from and to public transport vehicle stops along a public transport vehicle line, a first processing unit programmed to store and process the received data, and a first display module which is operatively coupled to the first processing unit and is for displaying the data, wherein the data includes identification of the vehicle, schedule time frame and next schedule departure time of a following vehicle, the schedule time frame being obtained by subtracting a current departure time at a vehicle terminus from a next schedule departure time; and
a plurality of public transport vehicle stop devices installed in the respective vehicle stops, each of the public transport vehicle stop device having a preset vehicle identification therein and having a transceiver for transmitting and receiving the data from and to the on-board device if the preset vehicle identification matches the vehicle identification of the on-board device, a second processing unit programmed to store and update the received data to count down a waiting time of the vehicle till zero and then, if necessary, switch to count up a delay time, and a second display module which is operatively coupled to the second processing unit and is for displaying the waiting time or the delay time and other information.

14. A method for informing public transport vehicle arrival information, comprising the steps of:
-
a) providing a plurality of on-board devices installed on respective public transport vehicles; b) providing a plurality of public transport vehicle stop devices with preset identification of the vehicle, which are installed in the respective vehicle stops along a public transport vehicle line; c) inputting identification of the vehicle, mode code and schedule time frame or next schedule departure time of a following vehicle into the on-board devices, the schedule time frame being obtained by subtracting a current departure time at a vehicle terminus from a next schedule departure time; d) transmitting the vehicle identification, mode code and the schedule time frame to the plurality of public transport vehicle stop devices wherein the mode code and/or the schedule time frame is received and updated if the preset identification of the vehicle matches the vehicle identification of the on-board device; e) on the basis of the updated schedule time frame, counting down a waiting time of the vehicle till zero and then, if necessary, switching to count up a delay time; and f) displaying the waiting time or the delay time. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
