Abstract

Method for performing announcements in a means of transport that has an announcement device having at least one loudspeaker and an entertainment device, having the following steps: an announcement start signal is sent from the announcement device to the entertainment device at the beginning of an announcement; an interruption to the reproduction of the reproduction appliance is prompted by the entertainment device when the announcement start signal is received; the announcement is reproduced as an audible announcement signal via the announcement loudspeaker; continuation of the reproduction of the reproduction appliance is prompted by the entertainment device when an announcement end signal is received or at the end of reception of the announcement start signal, characterized by detection of an audio signal that is output by the announcement loudspeaker by the entertainment device, wherein the reproduction of the reproduction appliance is automatically interrupted after the audio signal is detected.

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.
