Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of broadcast management technology, specifically to an airport terminal broadcast voice level playback system. Background Technology

[0002] In public transportation hubs such as airport terminals, due to the large space and high passenger flow, broadcasting is typically used to promptly inform passengers of traffic information and other announcements. This ensures that passengers in all areas of the airport or other public transportation hubs can receive information in a timely manner. To improve the convenience of broadcasting and reduce operating costs, automated broadcasting systems are usually used to broadcast the announcements.

[0003] For example, patent document CN112039619B discloses a civil aviation automatic broadcasting system, including an automatic broadcasting unit, a broadcasting control unit, and a basic broadcasting unit. The automatic broadcasting unit includes a database, an automatic broadcasting server, a speech synthesis module, and an airport workstation. The basic broadcasting unit includes an audio input module. The broadcasting control unit includes a terminal call station and a call station service management module. The database connects to an external departure system and the automatic broadcasting server. The speech synthesis module and the airport workstation are both connected to the automatic broadcasting server. The automatic broadcasting module connects to the audio input module via an audio output module. The audio input module connects to the terminal call station. The call station service management module connects to the terminal call station and the automatic broadcasting server. This technical solution allows for customized input of broadcast statements by setting up an airport workstation and has automatic configuration splicing rules, thus providing personalized services to passengers and solving the problems of non-standard and imperfect existing airport services.

[0004] While the aforementioned technical solutions can achieve automatic splicing of broadcasts and realize personalized airport broadcast services, during the airport broadcast process, due to the large amount of content, in order to ensure that the content is clear and easy to understand, usually only one broadcast message is played at a time. When multiple broadcasts need to be played, they are usually broadcast in a queue. However, the different types of broadcasts have different levels of urgency, which means that some urgent content cannot be broadcast in a timely and effective manner, affecting the effect of airport information broadcasting and reducing the efficiency of airport information broadcasting management. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide an airport terminal broadcast voice priority playback system to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the inability to accurately manage broadcast priorities affects the efficiency of airport broadcast management.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an airport terminal building broadcast voice level playback system, comprising a playback unit, a broadcast unit, and a control unit. Both the playback unit and the broadcast unit are connected to the control unit. The broadcast unit is used to send broadcast information to the control unit, and the control unit is used to control the playback unit to play the received broadcast information. The broadcast information contains a broadcast level tag, which stores the priority level of the broadcast information. The control unit contains a broadcast level control module, which adjusts the playback order of the broadcast information according to the priority level in the broadcast level tag.

[0007] The principle and advantages of this solution are as follows: When broadcasting information from the terminal, the information is sent to the control unit via the broadcast unit. The control unit then controls the broadcast terminal in the playback unit to play the information. Furthermore, when controlling the playback unit, the control unit also adjusts the broadcast order of the information based on the broadcast level information in the broadcast level label within the broadcast information.

[0008] In this solution, when broadcasting information, a broadcast level label is set in the broadcast information. This allows the control unit to sort multiple broadcasts according to the broadcast level label, ensuring that broadcasts are played in an orderly manner while guaranteeing that high-level emergency broadcasts are played in a timely manner. This ensures the timeliness of broadcast information delivery and improves the efficiency of broadcast information playback management.

[0009] Preferably, as an improvement, the broadcast unit includes an automatic broadcast module and a manual broadcast module. The automatic broadcast module is used to send preset broadcast information, and the manual broadcast module is used to send manually broadcast information. By setting up the automatic and manual broadcast modules, commonly used broadcast information can be automatically generated and broadcast through program presets during broadcasting, ensuring the convenience and efficiency of broadcasting. At the same time, by setting up the manual broadcast module, broadcast information can be broadcast manually in case of emergencies, improving the flexibility of broadcast information.

[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, the manual broadcasting module further includes a broadcast tag adding submodule, which is used to add a broadcast level tag to the manual broadcasting information. By setting up the broadcast tag adding submodule, a broadcast level tag can be added to the manual broadcasting information when it is broadcast manually. This allows the control unit to distinguish the level of the manual broadcasting information based on the broadcast level tag, ensuring that the priority level of the manual broadcasting information matches the actual situation.

[0011] Preferably, as an improvement, the broadcast information also includes a broadcast type tag, which stores the broadcast type of the broadcast information. By setting a broadcast type tag in the broadcast information, the control unit can easily classify the content of the broadcast information when it receives it, facilitating personalized broadcast control based on different broadcast information content.

[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, the control unit further includes a broadcast process control module, which controls the number of times the broadcast information is repeated and the interval between repetitions based on the broadcast type information stored in the broadcast type tag. By adjusting the number of times and the interval between different types of broadcast information, different types of broadcast information can be effectively transmitted, ensuring that passengers can receive the broadcast information while avoiding an excessively dense number of broadcasts in the airport terminal, which could lead to auditory fatigue and affect the dissemination effect of the broadcast information.

[0013] Preferably, as an improvement, the broadcast process control module is further configured to control the playback volume of the broadcast information based on the broadcast level information in the broadcast level label information. By adjusting the broadcast volume of different broadcast information, different broadcast information can be played at an appropriate volume, ensuring that passengers can clearly receive the broadcast information while avoiding excessively loud broadcasts in the airport terminal, thus preventing noise pollution.

[0014] Preferably, as an improvement, the playback unit includes multiple broadcast terminals, and the control unit further includes a broadcast area control module. The broadcast area control module is used to divide the multiple broadcast terminals into multiple broadcast areas, and to adjust the playback frequency and volume of broadcast types in each broadcast area according to the broadcast area. By controlling the broadcast information in different areas, the broadcast information can be played in a targeted manner, ensuring the simplicity of the broadcast information in each area, making it easier for passengers to distinguish the broadcast information, while reducing the number of broadcasts in each area and preventing auditory fatigue. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of the airport terminal building broadcast voice level playback system in this embodiment of the utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0017] As attached Figure 1As shown, an airport terminal building broadcast voice level playback system includes a playback unit, a broadcast unit, and a control unit. The playback unit is used to play broadcast information, the broadcast unit is used to transmit playback content, and the control unit is used to control the broadcast played by the playback unit.

[0018] The broadcasting unit is electrically connected to the control unit. The broadcasting unit transmits the information to be broadcast to the control unit, which then controls the playback unit to broadcast the information based on its content. Both the broadcasting unit and the control unit can be devices such as computers. The specific implementation structure of the broadcasting unit and the control unit is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The playback unit includes multiple broadcasting terminals, which are spaced apart within the airport terminal. All broadcasting terminals are electrically connected to the control unit. The broadcasting terminals can be sound playback devices such as speakers or audio equipment, and are used to broadcast announcements in various areas of the airport terminal.

[0019] The broadcasting unit includes an automatic broadcasting module and a manual broadcasting module. The automatic broadcasting module sends preset broadcast content to the control unit. Specific broadcasting modules include integrated system broadcasting, local automatic broadcasting, and central broadcasting. The automatic broadcasting module plays announcements such as gate change announcements, flight delay announcements (including announcements with uncertain and confirmed delay times), flight cancellation announcements, boarding announcements, boarding reminder announcements, transit boarding announcements, transit boarding reminder announcements, delay service announcements, TTS semi-automatic broadcasting, FCS semi-automatic broadcasting, manual call station pluggable USB system broadcasting, promotional announcements (notices regarding prohibited items), and emergency announcements (evacuation announcements). The manual broadcasting module sends manually broadcast content to the control unit. Specific manual broadcasting modules are used for sending announcements from the broadcasting room, check-in counters, boarding gates, security checkpoints, and integrated service counters (inquiry desks).

[0020] Each broadcast message in the automatic broadcast module is labeled with a broadcast level tag, which stores the priority level of the broadcast message. The manual broadcast module also includes a broadcast tag adding submodule, which adds broadcast level tags to manually broadcast messages during manual broadcasting.

[0021] The broadcast hierarchy is divided into several levels, with the broadcast priority decreasing sequentially from level to level. Specifically, in this embodiment, the broadcast hierarchy is divided into eight levels, as follows:

[0022] Level 1 (highest level): Manual call station in the fire control center – manual fire broadcast;

[0023] Level 2: Fire control center's fire broadcast control console – automatic fire broadcast;

[0024] Level 3: Manual call station in the broadcasting room – manual broadcasting;

[0025] Level 4: Automatic Public Address System (APS) – Automated Broadcasting;

[0026] Level 5: Manual call stations at boarding gates and service counters – local manual announcements (internal announcements are only used as an emergency when manual call stations at boarding gates and service counters are unavailable);

[0027] Level 6: FCS semi-automatic announcements at boarding gates and service counters;

[0028] Level 7: Manual call stations at boarding gates and service counters – using pluggable USB systems for broadcasting;

[0029] Level 8: Background music broadcast. In other embodiments, the broadcast level can be further divided according to the broadcast content.

[0030] The control unit includes a broadcast level control module, which adjusts the playback order of broadcast information based on the level tags in the broadcast information transmitted by the automatic and manual broadcast modules in the broadcast unit. Specifically, when adjusting the order of broadcast information, it sorts the information from highest to lowest level according to the level information in the level tags, and prioritizes playing the highest level broadcast information. The specific details of arranging the order of broadcast information based on level information are existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0031] Each broadcast message in the automatic broadcast module is labeled with a broadcast type tag, which stores the broadcast type of the message. The broadcast tag adding submodule in the manual broadcast module is also used to add broadcast type tags to manually broadcast messages. By setting broadcast type tags in the broadcast messages, the control unit can easily categorize the content of the received broadcast messages, facilitating personalized broadcast control based on different broadcast message content.

[0032] The control unit also includes a broadcast process control module, which controls the number of times broadcast information is repeated and the interval between repetitions based on the broadcast type information stored in the broadcast type label. Specific broadcast type labels include boarding announcements, delay announcements, flight change announcements, and flight cancellation announcements. When controlling the number of repetitions and the interval between repetitions, normal boarding announcements, boarding reminder announcements, transit boarding announcements, transit reminder boarding announcements, and delay service announcements within the boarding announcements should be broadcast immediately, with a broadcast count of once.

[0033] Flight delay announcements should be made immediately upon receiving delay information and repeated every 30 minutes until boarding begins or the flight is cancelled.

[0034] Gate change announcements should be made immediately upon receiving gate change information, followed by a second announcement 60 seconds later, a third announcement 1 hour before scheduled departure, a fourth announcement 45 minutes before scheduled departure, and a fifth announcement 30 minutes before scheduled departure, for a total of 5 announcements.

[0035] Flight cancellation announcements should be made immediately upon receiving the cancellation information, followed by a second announcement after 30 minutes, and a third announcement after 60 minutes, for a total of 3 announcements.

[0036] By adjusting the frequency and intervals of different types of broadcast information, different types of broadcast information can be effectively delivered, ensuring that passengers can receive the broadcast information while avoiding an excessively dense number of broadcasts in the airport terminal, which could lead to auditory fatigue and affect the dissemination effect of the broadcast information.

[0037] The broadcast process control module is also used to control the playback volume of broadcast information based on the broadcast level information in the broadcast level label information. Specifically, when controlling the broadcast volume, broadcast information at levels three to seven is played at normal volume, broadcast information at levels one and two is played at a volume higher than normal, and background music broadcast at level eight is played at a volume lower than normal. By adjusting the broadcast volume of different broadcast information, different broadcast information can be played at an appropriate volume, ensuring that passengers can clearly receive the broadcast information while avoiding excessive noise pollution in the airport terminal.

[0038] The control unit also includes a broadcast area control module. This module divides the multiple broadcast terminals in the playback unit into multiple broadcast areas based on their location. The module adjusts the playback frequency and volume of different broadcast types according to the broadcast area. Specifically, when controlling broadcast information in different areas, the broadcast area control module divides the airport terminal into areas such as security checkpoints, waiting halls, and departure areas. It also prioritizes broadcasts relevant to passengers in each area based on different broadcast types, such as fire announcements, boarding announcements, and delay announcements. By controlling the broadcast information in different areas, targeted playback is achieved, ensuring the simplicity of the broadcast information in each area, making it easier for passengers to distinguish the information, and reducing the number of broadcasts in each area to prevent auditory fatigue.

[0039] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0040] When broadcasting information from the terminal, the information is sent to the control unit via the broadcast unit. The control unit then controls the broadcast terminal in the playback unit to play the broadcast information. In controlling the playback unit, the control unit also adjusts the broadcast order of the information based on the broadcast level information in the broadcast level label within the broadcast information.

[0041] Compared to existing technologies, this solution sets broadcast level tags in the broadcast information, allowing the control unit to sort multiple broadcasts according to these tags. This ensures orderly playback of broadcast information while guaranteeing timely delivery of high-level emergency broadcasts, thus improving the efficiency of broadcast information management.

[0042] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this utility model. These modifications and improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
