The present disclosure relates to a field of bicycle sharing, and in particular, to a multimedia system of a shared bicycle.
Bicycle sharing refers to a provision of bicycle sharing services on campuses, subway stations, bus stations, residential areas, commercial areas, public service areas, etc., via cooperation between enterprises and the government, which is a new form of sharing economy.
When a user opens a bicycle sharing app, the user can view a distribution map of nearby bicycles that can be rented, make an appointment, etc. After a user finds a bicycle, the bicycle can be unlocked by scanning a quick response (QR) code with a mobile phone or by inputting a code. After the user finishes riding, the bicycle can be parked in an area where bicycles are allowed to be parked on both sides of a road. Then the bicycle can be locked and the use of the bicycle is finished.
However, for existing shared bicycles, there is no multimedia system on the bicycles. As an emerging platform, it cannot make good use of its inherent multimedia information transmission channels, which may cause a waste of resources. In addition, when a shared bicycle stores too much data, it is easy to cause a storage burden, therefore, it is necessary to delete data regularly. At the same time, the existing shared bicycles have no navigation function, accordingly, a user needs to use a mobile phone to navigate a trip while riding a bicycle, which is very dangerous and may cause traffic accidents.
Therefore, how to reasonably control a shared bicycle platform for multimedia data dissemination and regularly delete multimedia data, how to reasonably control a multimedia system for navigation, and further improve user experience, have been key research issues for those skilled in the art.
Aiming at the above-mentioned disadvantages of prior arts, the technical problem to be solved in the present disclosure is to provide a multimedia system for a shared bicycle to solve the problem that existing shared bicycles lack a multimedia play device and a navigation device and the problem that a storage space of the shared bicycle is insufficient.
In order to solve the technical problem, the present disclosure may provide a multimedia system of a shared bicycle. The multimedia system may include a lock main control unit, a cloud server, a display unit, and a short message unit. The lock main control unit may be connected to the cloud server, the display unit, and the short message unit, respectively. The display unit may include a storage device. The lock main control unit may detect a stored content of the storage device, and may control the short message unit to send a push signal to the cloud server when the stored content does not include multimedia data. The cloud server may send the multimedia data to the storage device based on the push signal. The lock main control unit may control the display unit to turn on when a lock of a shared bicycle is unlocked, and may control the display unit to turn off when the shared bicycle ends a trip.
Preferably, the lock main control unit may send a clear signal to the storage device every 24 hours. The storage device may clear the stored content based on the clear signal.
Preferably, the display unit may include a navigation module. The navigation module may perform a route navigation based on a GPS signal, and may direct the display unit to display a navigation route.
Preferably, the display unit may further include a first display screen. The first display screen may be set on a head of the bicycle.
Preferably, the display unit may further include a second display screen. The second display screen may be set above a rear tire of the bicycle.
Preferably, the first display screen may be configured to display navigation information or the multimedia data. The second display screen may be configured to display the multimedia data.
Preferably, the display unit may further include a touch screen. The touch screen may be attached to a front surface of the first display screen. The touch screen may be configured to sense a touch position of a user.
Preferably, the multimedia system may include a voice play unit. The voice play unit may be connected to the lock main control unit. The voice play unit may include a first speaker and a second speaker. The lock main control unit may control the first speaker to play the navigation voice information. The lock main control unit may control the second speaker to play multimedia voice information.
Preferably, the voice play unit may further include a voice controller. The voice controller may be connected to the first speaker and the second speaker respectively. The voice controller may be configured to control the second speaker to stop playing the multimedia voice information when it is detected that the first speaker plays the navigation voice information.
Preferably, the multimedia data may include a page, a picture, a video, a text, and a sound.
Compared with the prior arts, the beneficial effect of the present disclosure may be that, an advertising purpose may be achieved by designing a multimedia system for a shared bicycle. The multimedia system may include a display unit. The display unit may play multimedia data. Furthermore, the multimedia system may include a navigation module configured to provide a navigation to a user, which is convenient for the user to travel and can avoid a dangerous behavior of holding a navigation device to view a route while riding the shared bicycle. In addition, the multimedia system may download the multimedia data when there is no multimedia data stored and may delete the stored content periodically, which can replace the multimedia data regularly and reasonably use the storage space, prevent the use of the shared bicycle from being affected due to insufficient storage space, and further improve user experience.
Additional features will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following and the accompanying drawings or may be learned by production or operation of the examples. The features of the present disclosure may be realized and attained by practice or use of various aspects of the methodologies, instrumentalities and combinations set forth in the detailed examples discussed below.
The present disclosure is further described in terms of exemplary embodiments. These exemplary embodiments are described in detail with reference to the drawings. The drawings are not to scale. These embodiments are non-limiting exemplary embodiments, in which like reference numerals represent similar structures throughout the several views of the drawings, and wherein:
In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth by way of examples in order to provide a thorough understanding of the relevant disclosure. However, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be practiced without such details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, systems, components, and/or circuitry have been described at a relatively high-level, without detail, in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring aspects of the present disclosure. Various modifications to the disclosed embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Thus, the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments shown, but to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the claims.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of example embodiments of the invention. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the,” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. As used herein, the terms “and/or” and “at least one of” include any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” and/or “including,” when used herein, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. Also, the term “exemplary” is intended to refer to an example or illustration.
It will be understood that the terms “system,” “engine,” “unit,” “module,” and/or “block” used herein are one method to distinguish different components, elements, parts, sections or assembly of different levels in ascending order. However, the terms may be displaced by another expression if they achieve the same purpose.
Generally, the word “module,” “unit,” or “block,” as used herein, refers to logic embodied in hardware or firmware, or to a collection of software instructions. A module, a unit, or a block described herein may be implemented as software and/or hardware and may be stored in any type of non-transitory computer-readable medium or another storage device. In some embodiments, a software module/unit/block may be compiled and linked into an executable program. It will be appreciated that software modules can be callable from other modules/units/blocks or from themselves, and/or may be invoked in response to detected events or interrupts. Software modules/units/blocks configured for execution on computing devices may be provided on a computer-readable medium, such as a compact disc, a digital video disc, a flash drive, a magnetic disc, or any other tangible medium, or as a digital download (and can be originally stored in a compressed or installable format that needs installation, decompression, or decryption prior to execution). Such software code may be stored, partially or fully, on a storage device of the executing computing device, for execution by the computing device. Software instructions may be embedded in firmware, such as an EPROM. It will be further appreciated that hardware modules/units/blocks may be included in connected logic components, such as gates and flip-flops, and/or can be included of programmable units, such as programmable gate arrays or processors. The modules/units/blocks or computing device functionality described herein may be implemented as software modules/units/blocks, but may be represented in hardware or firmware. In general, the modules/units/blocks described herein refer to logical modules/units/blocks that may be combined with other modules/units/blocks or divided into sub-modules/sub-units/sub-blocks despite their physical organization or storage. The description may be applicable to a system, an engine, or a portion thereof.
It will be understood that, although the terms “first,” “second,” “third,” etc., may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first element could be termed a second element, and, similarly, a second element could be termed a first element, without departing from the scope of exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.
Spatial and functional relationships between elements are described using various terms, including “connected,” “attached,” and “mounted.” Unless explicitly described as being “direct,” when a relationship between first and second elements is described in the present disclosure, that relationship includes a direct relationship where no other intervening elements are present between the first and second elements, and also an indirect relationship where one or more intervening elements are present (either spatially or functionally) between the first and second elements. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly” connected, attached, or positioned to another element, there are no intervening elements present. Other words used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a like fashion (e.g., “between,” versus “directly between,” “adjacent,” versus “directly adjacent,” etc.).
It should also be understood that terms such as “top,” “bottom,” “upper,” “lower,” “vertical,” “lateral,” “above,” “below,” “upward(s),” “downward(s),” “left-hand side,” “right-hand side,” “horizontal,” and other such spatial reference terms are used in a relative sense to describe the positions or orientations of certain surfaces/parts/components of the brake system with respect to other such features of the brake system when the brake system is in a normal operating position and may change if the position or orientation of the brake system changes.
These and other features, and characteristics of the present disclosure, as well as the methods of operation and functions of the related elements of structure and the combination of parts and economies of manufacture, may become more apparent upon consideration of the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, all of which form a part of this disclosure. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for the purpose of illustration and description only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. It is understood that the drawings are not to scale.
For illustration purposes, the following description is provided to help better understanding a multimedia system of a shared bicycle. It is understood that this is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. For persons having ordinary skills in the art, a certain amount of variations, changes and/or modifications may be deducted under the guidance of the present disclosure. Those variations, changes and/or modifications do not depart from the scope of the present disclosure.
