Information delivery service system, in-train information delivery method, and in-train information display apparatus

An information delivery service system that is applied to a passenger train and displays an image for delivering information to passengers, the system comprising:

• an in-train information display apparatus that groups a plurality of windows of the passenger train and uses the grouped windows as one display area;
• and
• a display information processor that outputs image information to the in-train information display apparatus,
• wherein the display information processor outputs information of a next-station-yard guidance image, which is guidance image information of a station yard where the train arrives, as the image information, and
• the display information processor includes:
• a vehicle-information monitoring device that detects a current traveling position of a train and outputs train's current-position information;
• and
• an image-information storing/reproducing unit that specifies an arrival platform for the train in the next station, a side of a vehicle that faces the platform, and stop positions of respective vehicles forming the train on the platform based on a lead-vehicle identifying signal output from an operation control panel and arrival platform information of the next station,
• stores content image information including a plurality of content image files, which are in level of parts, the parts being respectively corresponding to facility information of a station platform, guidance information of a station yard, and stop position information of vehicles, and
• next-station-yard guidance information including content display-position information of the content image file in stations present in a train operation route, and information of a next-station-yard guidance-display starting point corresponding to the content display-position information,
• compares the train's current-position information with the information of the next-station-yard guidance-display starting point, and
• when the train's current-position information matches the information of the next-station-yard guidance-display starting point, extracts a necessary content image file from the content image information based on the content display-position information, to generate and reproduce next-station-yard guidance image information.
