Urban mobile network system

摘要

A mobile network comprising a central unit (102) for communicating with a first network (104); at least one intermediate base station (106) for communication with the central unit (102) over the first network (104) and for transmitting data to a second network; at least one mobile unit (112) for receiving data from the base station over the second network, a memory for storing the data, a display and a processor running an application to display at least a portion of the stored data; and at least one geolocation marker (116) external to the mobile unit for generating a signal including position information indication a relative position, wherein the signal is received by the mobile unit when it is proximate to the base station wherein the central unit broadcasts at least one portion of the data to the mobile unit through the intermediate base station; and wherein the application running on the processor displays a portion of the stored data associated with the relative position.

1. A mobile network system comprising:
a central unit having:
a database having stored therein a data structure; anda central unit communications transceiver for communicating with a first network; at least one intermediate base station having:
a base station transceiver for communication with the central unit over the first network; anda mobile transmitter for transmitting data to a second network in a broadcast mode for receipt by a receiving unit and not requiring any back communication link to a receiving unit; a plurality of mobile units each operating as a receiving unit, each having:
a mobile receiver operating in a receive only mode for receiving data from the base station over the second network, thus requiring no communication back to the base station; anda memory for storing the data; wherein the central unit operates in a broadcast only mode to map at least one portion of the data structure to the memory in the mobile unit through the intermediate base station such that the portion of the data structure is received by substantially all of the mobile units at the same time.
