System and method for electronic road signs with in-car display capabilities
First Claim
1. In a wireless communication network comprising a plurality of wireless road sign transmitters in communication with a mobile computing device located, a method of delivering road sign content to the mobile computing devices within vehicles, the method comprising the steps of:
- continuously broadcasting signals onto the wireless communication network a message containing specific road sign content information from the road sign transmitter;
continuously monitoring at the mobile computing device, within the vehicle, a wireless communication network for signals being broadcast over the network, the broadcasted signals coming from road sign transmitters;
capturing the message from the wireless communication network, when the signal is in range of the mobile computing device;
interpreting the message contained in the captured signal to determine the road sign content information; and
based on display parameters previously defined by a user, displaying onto a display device operationally coupled to the mobile computing device contents of a road sign contained in the captured message the message.
