- an input interface buffer (36) is associated with each input interface (3) of each device (8) or server (9).
- the operating software for each device (8) or server (9) in the system has been developed around a library of tools and services largely oriented towards the audiovisual field in a multimedia universe.
- This library advantageously includes a high-performance multitasking operating system which effectively allows the simultaneous execution of multiple fragments of code.
- This operating software thus allows concurrent executions, in an orderly manner and avoiding any conflict, of operations carried out on the display means, the sound reproduction means as well as the management of telecommunications links through the distribution network. .
- this software offers great flexibility
- the digitized and compressed audiovisual data are stored in the storage means (21) of the server (9).
- Each selection is available in two digitized formats: with hi-fi quality or CD quality.
- the operating software for each device (8) is placed in the self-powered static RAM memory of each device (8) while the server operating software (9) can be saved to the hard disk (21). and loaded for operation in the server's RAM
- the first module referenced SSM, is the starter module. This module provides only one service, therefore it loads automatically when the device or server is powered up and returns then directly in the "in service” mode of the module referenced RMM.
- the RMM module is the "in service” mode module, which is the operating mode in which the device or server enters as soon as its registration number is validated. In this mode, the device (8) or server (9) are ready to handle any request which may be triggered by various predefined events, such as for example: - users who touch the screen of a device (8) transferring leading session control in the CBSM module of customer selection and exploration mode,
- the device (8) or the server (9) remain in the "in service” mode until one of the events described above occurs.
- the CBSM module is the customer selection and exploration mode module. Access to this module is triggered from "in service” mode when the customer touches the screen.
- the display allows the user to view a menu provided for a powerful exploration assisted by digitized voice messages to guide him in his choice of musical selections.
- the TSM module is the telecommunications services mode module between the network server and a central system serving several servers belonging to different networks. This module allows you to manage all the management services available on the distribution network. All telecommunications-specific tasks are managed as background tasks. These tasks always use only the remaining processing time after the device or server has completed all of its foreground tasks. So when the device is busy with one of its highest priority tasks, telecommunications tasks, automatically, will endeavor to reduce the constraints on system resources and recover any processing time from the microprocessor left available.
- the SPMM module allows the management of selections of song or video music queued by the system with a view to their execution in the order of selection.
- the multitasking operating system is the essential element to allow the simultaneous execution of multiple fragments of code and to manage the priorities between the different tasks that wake up
- This multitasking operating system is organized, as shown in FIG. 4, around a core comprising a module (11) for resolving priorities between tasks, a module (12) task supervisor, a module ( 13) serialization of the equipment used and a process communication module (14).
- Each of the modules communicates with interfaces (15) for programming applications and the database (16).
- the module (15) comprises a first programming interface (153) for the touch screen (33), a second programming interface (154) for the keyboard (34) a third programming interface (155) for the device for payment (35), a fourth programming interface (156) for the sound control circuit (5), a fifth programming interface (157) for the video control circuit (6) and a final interface (158) for the computer network control circuit (7).
- the programming interface of the network card is supplied with the card when purchasing a network kit and that the card network is declared to the operating system as the peripheral constituting the hard disk or the modem card, telecommunications of each audiovisual device (8).
- each operating system of each device (8) following the call of a telecommunication or hard disk access procedure following a selection triggers a network communication session in which the network card of the server will provide each audiovisual device (8) the resource called.
- Five tasks with decreasing priority are managed by the operating system kernel, the first (76) for video input / output has the highest priority, the second (75) of level two concerns sound , the third (74) level three telecommunications, the fourth (73) level four interfaces and the fifth (70) level five management.
- the purpose of the output video task (76) is to download the video files from the mass memory (21) alternately to one of the two buffers (66, 67) of the device (8) which formulated the request while the other buffer (67, respectively 66) is used by the circuit (6) video controller of the apparatus (8) having formulated the request to produce the display after decompression of the data.
- the video task (76) of the server (9) aims to transfer the data received in the telecommunication buffer (46) of the server (9) to the mass memory (21) of the server (9).
- the task supervisor module (12) of each device (8) or server (9) will now be described in connection with FIG. 5. This module performs in order of priority a first test (761) to determine whether the task video is active, i.e. if one of the video buffers (66, 67) is empty.
- the task supervisor module goes to the next test which is a second test (751) to determine whether the sound task is active, that is to say if one of the buffers (56, 57) is empty. .
- a third test (741) determines whether the communication task is active, that is to say if the buffer (46) is empty.
- the task supervisor module (12) fills in step (131) the request queue (13) for memory access and performs in step (132) this request by reading or writing between the mass memory (21) of the server (9) and the buffer corresponding to the active task of the device (8), then loops back to the first test.
- the supervisor (12) performs a test (742) to determine whether it is a question of reading or writing information in memory. If yes, the write or read request is put in the queue in step (131). Otherwise the supervisor determines in step (743) whether it is a transmission or a reception and in the case of a transmission sends, by a network communication procedure, to the step (744) the information block to the server (9) for transmission by the latter to the central system serving several servers. In the case of a reception, the supervisor checks in step (746) that the buffers of the server are free access and if so sends a message to the central server to accept the reception of a data block in step (747).
- an error check (748) is performed of the cyclic redundant check (CRC) type.
- the block is refused in step (740) in the event of an error, or accepted in the opposite case in step (749), by sending a message corresponding to the central system signifying that the block bearing a number determined is refused or accepted, then loops back to the initial tests, in the case where no higher-level task is active, the supervisor performs at step (731 or 701) the processing of the interface or management tasks.
- the detection of an active or ready task is done as shown in FIG. 6 by a test respectively (721 to 761) on each of the respective hardware or software buffers (26) of the hard disk, (36) of interface, (46 ) telecommunications, (56 and 57) sound, (66 and 67) video which are associated with each of the respective controller circuits (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) of each of the hardware devices associated with the 'central unit (1).
- the test (721) makes it possible to see if the data is present in the buffer of memory of entry and exit of the disc, the test (731) makes it possible to see if data is present in the buffers memories hardware or software of the device client interface, the test (741) makes it possible to see if data is present in the buffers in software or hardware memory of the telecommunication device, the test (751) makes it possible to determine whether data is present in the buffer in hardware or software memory for meaning, the test (761) makes it possible to see whether data is present in the hardware or software memory buffers of the video device.
- the supervisor (12) sets the respective status buffer (s) (821) for the hard disk, (831) for the interface, (841) for telecommunications, (851) for sound, (861) for video corresponding to the hardware in a logical state illustrating the activity. Otherwise, the supervisor status buffers are reset in step (800) to a value illustrating inactivity.
- the operating status of the server (9) or respectively of the device (8) is maintained on the server's hard disk (21) (9) or respectively in the self-powered memory of the device (8).
- the operating system Whenever a notable event is triggered, the operating system immediately records it on the permanent storage resource.
- the events which generate the safeguarding of the operation status are: - entry of money (addition of credits);
- the file is in machine format only readable by the unit and takes no more than 64 bytes.
- the number and type of active tasks is indicated to the supervisor (12) by the execution of the SPMM selection management module, the flow diagram of which is represented in FIG. 7.
- the management performed by this module begins with a test (61) for determine if any selections are pending in the queue.
- the test (61) on the queue determines that selections are pending, when a client selects a song he wishes to hear, it is automatically written to a queue file of the system on the hard drive. Thus, each selection made will never be lost in the event of a power failure.
- the system plays (plays) the entire selection before removing it from the queue file. When the selection has been reproduced in full, it is removed from the queue file and is written to the statistics file with the date and time of purchase, as well as the date and time when it was executed. Immediately after transfer to the statistics file of the completed selection, the device checks whether there are other selections in the waiting file. If there is another, it immediately starts playing the selection.
- the processing continues with a test (65) to determine whether the selection contains an audio scenario. If yes, this scenario is entered in step (651) in the supervisor's task queue (12). If not, or after this registration, the processing continues with a test (66) to determine whether the selection contains animated images. If so, the video scenario is entered in step (661) in the supervisor's task queue (12). If not or if so after this registration, the processing continues with a test (64) to determine whether the selection contains a fixed graph. If so, the graphic presentation scenario is entered in step (641) in the supervisor's task queue (12). If not or if so after this registration, the processing continues with a test (63) to determine whether the selection contains an advertising scenario. If so, the scenario is entered in step (631) in the supervisor's task queue (12).
- the supervisor (12) informed of the open tasks can manage the progress of the tasks simultaneously. Due to the one hand of the task management mode by assigning the highest priority orders to the video tasks requiring the most resources, on the other hand from the presence of hardware or software buffers assigned to each of the tasks to store temporarily data, the presence of status buffers relative to each task and the communication between each device and a server by the computer network, it is possible to deport the expensive resources necessary for certain tasks of the devices (8) on a single central unit (9) also having a multitasking operating system.
- a basic server (9) is able to serve a local network having up to eight client jukeboxes. With the addition of appropriate peripherals, such as additional hard drives, a server is able to serve a maximum of 8 additional jukeboxes. To add more jukeboxes, it is possible to create local network environments that have several servers sharing the tasks. Thus it is possible to create environments capable of serving any need.
- a fully equipped server has enough resources to administer 16 jukeboxes.
- a server can support up to 7 disks which can contain as many selections as available space necessary for the type of selection knowing that an audio selection and its graphic part require 3.4125 MBits of available disk space, than an audio selection and video requires 39,568 MBits of available disk space.
- the network allows the server to assume responsibility for undertaking several tasks common to each jukebox in order to avoid redundancy in work, IT operations and equipment.
- the local network also serves as an important link between all the jukeboxes by making it possible to establish links making it possible to maintain all the data common to all the jukeboxes and by making them accessible to everyone.
- the common data maintained on a server are either the audio / video selections, the purchase usage statistics for each jukebox, or the statistics on the audio / video selections.
- the jukebox or audiovisual device (8) on the one hand does not have telecommunication peripherals since these are centralized at the server (9) but it places requests at the server (9) which processes them as a priority, and d 'other hand does not have the disk space required to store the audio / video selections, since they are centralized on the server (9) in order to be shareable with all the jukeboxes of the local network.
- the network jukebox (8) needs very little permanent storage space since all the information will now be centralized, making it possible to produce units without hard disk and thus reducing maintenance by eliminating the parts most likely to fail. .
- a permanent memory partition contains all the information and the necessary operating program to establish links with the server and start the jukebox operating system.
- This permanent memory can be in the form of EEPROM memory, static memory banks protected by batteries or even cards called HARD CARD which are static memory banks protected by batteries with functions making it possible to clone the tasks of a hard disk.
- the jukebox module (8) operating system ensures that it has the necessary resources before doing its work. To do this, it must manage the state of the links with the centralized devices and, if necessary, makes requests to the server requesting to establish appropriate links between the jukebox and the required device. If resources such as telecommunications are not in use by a jukebox, the server (9) will grant exclusive links to the jukebox.
- the jukebox (8) can do its work as if the resource were its own. Once the jukebox (8) has finished its work, it sends a request to the server to be disconnected from the resource, thus making it available to other jukeboxes (8) on the network.
- the order and logic used to grant distribution and access privileges to the ordered resources are controlled by the network operating system that resides on the server (9).
- a switching device such as a hardware or software key allows the network operator to decide to have the server (9) broadcast the same selection on all the devices (8) on the network or to let it broadcast on each device. (8) a different selection. In the latter case, access to the hard disk resources will be shared between each device (8), the buffers (56, 57; 66, 67) of each apparatus (8) having sufficient capacity to wait for the next access without any discontinuity in the audio or visual representation.
- the multitasking operating system including a library containing a set of tools and services makes it very significantly easier to operate because of its integration in the storage means and the great flexibility thus provided.
- the audiovisual information is digitized and stored in the server's only memory means, the cost of the network is considerably reduced.
