Information system
First Claim
1. An information system for supplying a predetermined region with information, comprising:
- a transmitter for transmitting information in digitally coded form; and
a hand-held device which further comprises a receiver for receiving the information transmitted by the transmitter, a digital memory device for storing the information received, a reproduction device for acoustically and/or optically reproducing the stored information, and an event detection device for detecting specific events, wherein, upon the detection of an event from the stored information, the information which is assigned to the detected event is selected for reproduction,wherein the event detection device comprises a navigation system for determining the present location, the event for which the associated information is selected corresponds to reaching a determined locationwherein the signals for determining the present location are transmitted from a transmitter which is different from the transmitter for transmitting information in digitally coded formwherein the determined region is determined by the information system,wherein the information is transmitted to the hand-held device without an involvement from the user,wherein the information is transmitted to the hand-held device independently of a previously planned route,wherein the transmission of the information is performed blockwise and is modulated on a carrier signal.

Abstract
An information system for supplying a predetermined region with information includes a transmitter for transmitting information in digitally coded form and a hand-held device. The hand-held device includes a receiver for receiving the information transmitted by the transmitter, a digital memory device for storing the received information, a reproduction device for reproducing the stored information, in particular acoustically and/or optically, and an event detection device for detecting specific events, wherein, upon detection of an event from the stored information, the information which is assigned to the detected event is selected for reproduction.

10. A method for supplying a predetermined region with information, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving information in digitally coded form transmitted from a transmitter, said information received by a receiver contained in a hand-held device; and storing said information in a digital memory device of the hand-held device; whereby, upon detection of an event from the memorized information, the information which is assigned to the detected event is selected for reproduction, acoustically or optically, determining the present location by a navigation system, wherein the signals for determining the present location are transmitted from a transmitter which is different from the transmitter for transmitting information in digitally coded form wherein the determined region is determined by the information system, wherein the information is transmitted to the hand-held device without an involvement from the user, wherein the information is transmitted to the hand-held device independently of a previously planned route, wherein the transmission of the information is performed blockwise and is modulated on a carrier signal. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An information system for supplying a predetermined region with information wherein the region includes a plurality of information cells, comprising:
-
a transmitter located in each information cell and operable to transmit information in digitally coded form which is associated to events in the respective information cell; and a hand-held device which includes; a receiver for receiving the information transmitted by the transmitter, a digital memory device for storing the information received, a reproduction device for reproducing the stored information acoustically and/or visually, and a navigation device that automatically determines the present information cell the hand-held device is located in, wherein upon determination of the present information cell, the stored information which is associated to events in the determined information cell is selected for reproduction by the reproduction device, wherein the signals for determining the present location are transmitted from a transmitter which is different from the transmitter for transmitting information in digitally coded form wherein a determined region is determined by the information system, wherein the information is transmitted to the hand-held device without an involvement from the user, wherein the information is transmitted to the hand-held device independently of a previously planned route, wherein the transmission of the information is performed blockwise and is modulated on a carrier signal. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method for supplying a predetermined region with information wherein the region includes a plurality of information cells, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving information in digitally coded form transmitted from a transmitter wherein the transmitted information is associated to events in at least one information cell, said information received by a receiver contained in a hand-held device; and storing said information in a digital memory device of the hand-held device; upon automatic determination by a navigation device contained in the hand-held device of the present information cell the hand-held device is located in, selecting the stored information which is associated to events in the determined information cell for reproduction acoustically and/or optically, wherein the signals for determining the present location are transmitted from a transmitter which is different from the transmitter for transmitting information in digitally coded form wherein the determined region is determined by the information system, wherein the information is transmitted to the hand-held device without an involvement from the user, wherein the information is transmitted to the hand-held device independently of a previously planned route, wherein the transmission of the information is performed blockwise and is modulated on a carrier signal. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A hand-held device for receiving, storing and reproducing information in an information system, comprising:
-
a receiver for receiving digitally coded information which is associated with events in information cells of a region; a digital memory device for storing the information received; a reproduction device that reproduces the stored information acoustically and/or optically; and a navigation device that automatically determines the present information cell the hand-held device is located in, wherein upon determination of the present information cell, the stored information which is associated with events in the determined information cell is selected for reproduction by the reproduction device wherein the signals for determining the present location are transmitted from a transmitter which is different from the transmitter for transmitting information in digitally coded form wherein the determined region is determined by the information system, wherein the information is transmitted to the hand-held device without an involvement from the user, wherein the information is transmitted to the hand-held device independently of a previously planned route, wherein the transmission of the information is performed blockwise and is modulated on a carrier signal.
