ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK FOR PASSENGERS IN A MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION
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.
A secure housing (10) for a portable computer (12), which has a screen (14), operating keys (18, 20, 22) and at least one connector (24), can be transferred from an open state to a closed state. In order to protect the computer (12) and the data stored thereon, the secure housing (10) can be locked in the closed state and conceals at least one operating key (18) of the computer while the screen (14) is exposed.
