Abstract

The information stored in electronic cards such as smart card, memory card in a daily use article such as instruction leaflet or operator guide, is made accessible by the user, either by taking print-out of the information using copier, printer, or by reproducing the information using an audio playback device.

Description

Verfahren zum Sichtbar- und Hörbar machen von gespeicherten Informationen mittels elektronischer Speicherelemente jedweder Art, bezogen auf die folgenden Anwendungsbereiche:
Process for making visible and audible stored information using electronic storage elements of any kind, based on the following areas of application:

1. Package insert for medication, medication-like products and food
2. Instructions for games
for crafting
for the assembly of all kinds of objects
to installations
for care (of humans, animals and plants)
for use
Operating and usage instructions
Repair manuals.
3. Information and advertising materials
travel brochures
order Catalogs
Treaties.

Die Informationen der oben erwähnten Anwendungsbereiche werden auf Speicherorgane aufgebracht, die danach optisch und/oder akustisch abrufbar sind. Dabei könnte es sich um folgende handeln, wobei die Auflistung nicht erschöpfend ist:
The information from the above-mentioned areas of application is applied to storage devices which can then be called up optically and / or acoustically. These could be the following, but the list is not exhaustive:

1. Smart cards
2. Memory cards
3. Intelligent memory cards
4. Memory sticks
5. chips
6. CD-Roms
7. Mini-Disk
8. floppy
9. Sound Cards
10. Tape, cassette, CD and other.

Diese Speichermedien könnten u. U. auf den Verpackungen/Umhüllungen (jeglicher Art) aufgebracht sein. Vorstellbar erscheint auch, dass sie in den Gegenstand selbst integriert und - je nach Verfahren - lesbar und/oder hörbar gemacht werden. Darüber hinaus wäre auch das bloße Hinzufügen des Speicherträgers zum Produkt denkbar sowie ein davon getrennter Erwerb oder Bezug. These storage media could U. on the packaging / wrappings (any Art) be applied. It also seems conceivable that they are in the subject itself integrated and - depending on the process - made readable and / or audible. About that it would also be conceivable to simply add the storage medium to the product as well as a separate purchase or purchase.

Die auf elektronischem Wege gespeicherten visuellen und akustischen Informationen sollen durch Entschlüsselungsgeräte abrufbar und bei Bedarf auch kopierbar sein. Als solche kämen beispielsweise in Frage:
The visual and acoustic information stored electronically should be retrievable by decryption devices and, if necessary, also be copied. For example, the following could be considered:

1. TV, VCR
2. Computer, laptop, on-board computer, game boy, Nintendo, play station, sound Card and others
3. Telephone and cell phone
4. Copiers, printers, fax machines
5. Acoustic playback devices
6. Other equipment used separately or in conjunction with the above can be.

Die Vorteile des geschilderten Verfahrens sollen am Beispiel des Beipackzettels von Medikamenten verdeutlicht werden:
The advantages of the described procedure should be illustrated using the example of the package insert for medication:

1. After a certain transition period, the package insert that is in elaborate mechanical processes created, folded and in the packaging must be introduced. In the long term, the proposed one Procedures to be less expensive.
2. A storage device integrated in the packaging or in the object can not easily lost and is readily available at any time.
3. The return of the package insert in the outer packaging usually causes Annoyance or inconvenience, because the wrong folding Medicament with its immediate wrapping leaves too little space. Consequently the outer packaging can usually no longer be closed properly become.
4. At today's state of the art, procedures appear that are visual and acoustic media for information storage and transmission service, not only more attractive, but also far more practical.
5. Even older users benefit from such procedures by using may have an influence on the font size and text selection itself and / or can retrieve their information acoustically.
6. Application devices, such as televisions and cell phones, belong today more and more to the standard equipment of a household and appear due to the advanced technology without any major problems for such Process can be retrofitted or supplemented.

Claims

The claims relate to the method described in the description, based on the areas of application specified therein. By means of electronic storage capacities, previously printed information from the areas of daily life listed in detail is to be made visible and audible with the aid of decryption devices, and printouts may also be possible.
It is irrelevant what type of electronic storage is used in each individual case. It also does not matter which forms of decryption are chosen.
