Device for displaying a course of a process of at least one railway safety unit, and railway safety system having such a device

Abstract

A device displays a course of a process of at least one railway safety unit. While using at least one device controller, process data supplied by the at least one railway safety unit, are converted by dual-channel processing into first and second image data of the course of the process to be displayed. The image data are output to be displayed on a data display unit. In order to simplify the displaying of the course of the process, a pair of display spectacles having a first and a second display is used as a data display unit. The first display displays a first representation of the first image data delivered thereto that is visually detectable by the right eye, and the second display displays a second representation of the second image data delivered thereto that is visually detectable by the left eye.

1 . A device for displaying a course of a process of at least one railway safety unit, the device comprising:
 a data display unit;   at least one device control suitably configured for converting process data supplied by the at least one railway safety unit by means of dual-channel processing into first image data and second image data of the course of the process to be displayed and for outputting the first image data and second image data for display on said data display unit; and   said data display unit being a pair of display goggles having a first display and a second display, said first display being suitably configured for displaying a first representation of the first image data delivered thereto that is visually detectable by a right eye and said second display being suitably configured for displaying a second representation of the second image data delivered thereto that is visually detectable by said left eye.   
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one device control is suitably configured for converting the process data in sections of the dual-channel processing into right-hand image data and left-hand image data which correspond to images of the course of the process generated from a same perspective for monoscopic examination. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein said at least one device control is configured for outputting the right-hand image data as the first image data and the left-hand image data as the second image data to said display goggles. 
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein said at least one device control is configured for converting the right-hand and left-hand image data in further sections of the dual-channel processing into further left-hand image data and further right-hand image data which correspond to image data of the course of the process generated from different perspectives for stereoscopic examination. 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 4 , wherein said at least one device control is configured for outputting the further right-hand image data as the first imaged data and the further left-hand image data as the second image data to said display goggles. 
     
     
         6 . A railway safety system, comprising:
 at least one railway safety unit configured for outputting process data corresponding to a course of a process;   a device for displaying the course of the process of said at least one railway safety unit using the process data, the device containing:
 a data display unit; 
 at least one device control suitably configured for converting the process data supplied by said at least one railway safety unit by means of dual-channel processing into first image data and second image data of the course of the process to be displayed and for outputting the first image and the second image data for display on said data display unit; and 
 said data display unit being a pair of display goggles having a first display and a second display, said first display being suitably configured for displaying a first representation of the first image data delivered thereto that is visually detectable by a right eye and said second display being suitably configured for displaying a second representation of the second image data delivered thereto that is visually detectable by said left eye.
