Embodiment Construction

[0027] figure 1 A first embodiment of the entertainment network 10 of the present invention is shown. The entertainment network 10 includes a data server 12 in which audio and video data is provided in stored form. Audio data can be in the form of a single piece of music, a single album of music by different performers, or a list of songs played consecutively in the form of a radio program of several different pieces of music. Typically, video data is a movie, movie, or the like associated with audio data.

[0028] Routing device 14 is connected to data server 12 by a conventional network cable link. The routing device 14 provides services for wireless broadband data transmission of data on servers in the aircraft cabin. For this purpose, the routing device is configured as a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point and includes a corresponding wireless local area network (WLAN) router.

[0029] Each routing device 14 is configured to automatically establish a wirel...

Abstract

The invention relates to an entertainment network (10) for passengers in a means of transportation, for example in an airplane, having at least one data server (12) for video and / or audio data. A routing device (14) is connected to the data server (12). Furthermore, the entertainment network has at least one playback device (16, 17) which is provided for a passenger for the duration of a trip in order to play back the audio / video data. The routing device (14) is designed for the wireless broadband transmission of the video / audio data to at least twenty, preferably at least sixty participants simultaneously and in at least two different frequency bands independently of one another. The playback device (16) is designed to wirelessly communicate with the routing device (14). In the process, the playback device is designed to only receive the data of a first frequency band, and a second frequency band which is different from the first is designed to be received only by individual passenger terminals (18), such as notebooks, tablet PCs, PDAs, etc. for example. The invention likewise relates to a corresponding method for transmitting video and / or audio data in order to entertain passengers in a means of transportation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a passenger entertainment network in a vehicle, such as, for example, an airplane, ship, bus or train, and a method of transmitting video and / or audio data for passenger entertainment in a vehicle. Background technique [0002] So-called in-flight entertainment systems are available, in which movies are transmitted to in-seat displays integrated into the passenger seats. The in-seat display is integrated into the seat back of each front passenger seat. Movies are stored as video data in a central data server and transmitted via data cables when accessed by passengers via the operating unit connected to the display. In this regard, each in-seat display must have its own data cable link to the data server so that video data can be transmitted to each in-seat display individually. To achieve this, the large number of data cables required are mostly installed in the floor of the aircraft cabin. Especially on modern wide-...
