Abstract
A focused sound and infotainment system is provided along a continuous path. A moving staircase, escalator or walkway, is also provided for transporting persons, living things and/or objects, with which said focused sound and infotainment system is provided. A method is also disclosed for providing audio-visual information along a continuous path, particularly intended for and directed to people, living things, and/or objects being on the path and possible moving there along.
Claims19
An audio-visual system to be provided along a continuous path, the audio-visual system comprising:
- a directional sound system, a display system, and a sensor system,
- wherein said audio-visual system is configured to
- receive data detected by the sensor system for recognizing a person, living thing or object in an area surrounding part of the audio-visual system;
- generate a sound control signal for emitting sound by means of the directional sound system, which is connected with the sensor system, towards said person, living thing or object being recognized;
- generate an image control signal for displaying an image on part of the display system, which is connected with the sensor system, in the area of said person, living thing or object being recognized;
- and
- transmit said sound and image control signals to said sound and display system respectively;
- and
- emit sound by the directional sound system and/or display an image by the display system such that the emitted sound and/or the image displayed is directed towards said person, living thing or object being recognized as said person, living thing or object moves along said continuous path.
A method for providing audio-visual information along a continuous path, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing an audio-visual system comprising of a directional sound system, a display system and a sensor system;
- receiving data detected by the sensor system for recognizing a person, living thing or object in an area surrounding part of the audio-visual system;
- generating a sound control signal for emitting sound by means of the directional sound system, which is connected with the sensor system, towards said person, living thing or object being recognized;
- generating an image control signal for displaying an image on part of the display system, which is connected with the sensor system, in the area of said person, living thing or object being recognized;
- and
- transmitting said sound and image control signals to said sound and display system respectively;
- emitting sound by the directional sound system and/or displaying an image by the display system such that the emitted sound and/or the image displayed is directed towards said person, living thing or object being recognized as said person, living thing or object moves along said continuous path.
A hardware storage device having stored thereon computer executable instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system of an audio-visual system comprising of a directional sound system, a display system, and a sensor system, configure the audio-visual system to perform the following for providing audio-visual information along a continuous path:
- receive data detected by the sensor system for recognizing a person, living thing or object in an area surrounding part of the audio-visual system;
- generate a sound control signal for emitting sound by means of the directional sound system, connected with the sensor system, towards said person, living thing or object being recognized;
- generate an image control signal for displaying an image on part of the display system, connected with the sensor system, in the area of said person, living thing or object being recognized;
- and
- transmit said sound and image control signals to said sound and display system respectively;
- emit sound by the directional sound system and/or display an image by the display system such that the emitted sound and/or the image displayed is directed towards said person, living thing or object being recognized as said person, living thing or object moves along said continuous path.
