Definitions
- the invention is based on a radio according to the preamble of the main claim.
- Radio devices with operating functions that can be called up on a user interface are already known.
- the main claim has the advantage that the operation is simplified for the user who does not need all the operating functions of the radio. If he selects an operating mode with a limited range of operating functions, he can access desired operating functions within this operating range more quickly, since time-consuming selection processes, for example in an operating menu, can be omitted. This also increases the clarity for the user. Due to the different operating modes with their different operating functions, the operation of the radio can be individually adjusted to the respective requirements of the user. Advantageous further developments and improvements of the radio device specified in the main claim are possible through the measures listed in the subclaims.
- operating functions can be activated in the first operating mode, which enable base telephone functions, in particular the dialing of a subscriber via a telephone network, the acceptance of incoming calls and the use of a telephone book memory, and that operating functions can be activated in addition to the basic telephone functions in the second operating mode. which enable comfort telephone functions, in particular call diversion and / or sending and receiving of data telegrams.
- the user has the choice between a basic operating range of functions for basic telephone functions and a further operating range of functions for basic telephone functions and additional comfort telephone functions. If the user does not need the comfort telephone functions, he could select the operating mode with the base telephone functions and thus save time in the operation, since fewer operating functions are offered for selection in a larger overview.
- Another advantage is that a third operating mode is provided, in which, in addition to the second operating mode, additional operating functions that go beyond pure telephone functions, in particular pocket calculators, clocks, alarm clocks, Internet access or the like, can be activated. This way the user gets another one
- FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a radio device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a flow chart for the description of the functioning of an evaluation unit in the radio device according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 denotes a radio device designed, for example, as a mobile or cordless telephone, which is shown in the form of a block diagram with the functional blocks essential to the invention.
- the radio 1 comprises an input unit 20 and an evaluation unit 25. Via the input unit 20, the user can cause the evaluation unit 25 to operate the radio 1 in one of three possible operating modes 5, 10, 15.
- at least one corresponding control element 30 is provided on the input unit for selection between these three operating modes 5, 10, 15.
- This control element 30 can be designed, for example, as a rotary switch which can be switched between three positions I, II and III.
- the control element 30 can, however, also be designed as a pushbutton switch, by means of which the three different operating modes 5, 10, 15 can be selected by actuating the control element 30 for different lengths of actuation. It can also For each of the three operating modes 5, 10, 15, a separate control element for selecting the corresponding operating mode can be provided on the input unit. Further embodiments of the at least one control element 30 are within the discretion of the person skilled in the art.
- a third operating mode 15 is characterized in that all operating functions of the radio device 1 can be called up in it.
- a second operating mode 10 is characterized in that it can be used to call up all operating functions which can also be called up in a first operating mode 5.
- 10 operating functions can be activated in the second operating mode, which cannot be called or activated in the first operating mode 5. All of the operating functions of the radio 1 can already be activated in the second operating mode 10, so that the third operating mode 15 would no longer be required in this case. This is indicated in Figure 1 in that the third operating mode 15 is shown in dashed lines.
- the first operating mode 5 would thus provide base telephone functions for mobile or cordless telephony.
- additional operating functions can also be activated, which enable, for example, call diversion and / or transmission and reception of data telegrams and thus represent comfort phone functions.
- the user can therefore decide whether the base telephone functions which he can select and activate more quickly in the first operating mode 5 due to the restricted range of operating functions, or whether he or she can open in addition to the base telephone functions does not want to do without the comfort telephone functions, so that he needs the second operating mode 10.
- comfort telephone functions such as, for example, call waiting, conference call or the like can also be implemented.
- SMS short message service
- the user has the option of selecting the third operating mode 15 of the radio device 1 universally, ie with all of the realizable operating functions, such as, for example, calculator, clock, alarm clock, internet access, notebook or the like.
- the range of functions of the radio 1 can thus be adapted to the requirements of the user as a function of the selected operating mode 5, 10, 15, so that the user can always choose between the operating functions required by him as quickly as possible and with maximum clarity.
- FIG. 1 A flow chart for the functioning of the evaluation unit 25 is shown in FIG.
- a program point 100 it is checked whether the control element 30 has been actuated. If this is the case, the program branches to program point 105, otherwise the program branches back to program point 100.
- program point 105 it is checked whether the third operating mode 15 has been selected by the control element 30, ie whether the control element 30 has been switched to position III. If this is the case, the program branches to program point 110, otherwise the program branches to program point 115.
- all operating functions of the radio device 1 are made available for selection and activation on the user interface of the radio device 1, with, for example, a corresponding selection menu, which depending on the functional scope can also include submenus that can be called up, on a display device of the radio device 1, not shown in FIG. 1 can be displayed.
- the program section is then exited.
- program point 115 it is checked whether the control element 30 has been brought into position II. If this is the case, the program branches to program point 120, otherwise the program branches to program point 125.
- the user is offered an operating menu on the display device, not shown in FIG.
- Submenus includes and a selection and activation of all telephone functions, ie both the base telephone functions and the comfort telephone functions the user.
- the selection does not include operating functions of the radio device 1 that go beyond pure telephone applications, such as a calculator, clock, alarm clock, Internet access, notebook function or the like. These additional functions, which go beyond pure telephone applications, can only be selected and activated in third operating mode 15.
- the program part is left.
- the user is offered a selection menu on the display device of radio 1, not shown in FIG. 1, in which he can choose between various basic telephone functions, such as dialing a subscriber, accepting an incoming call, using a telephone book memory, speed dialing or the like for activation can.
- the evaluation unit 25 has recognized that the control element 30 has been brought into the position I, so that the first operating mode 5 has been selected and no comfort telephone functions such as call diversion and / or sending and receiving of data telegrams are made possible.
- the comfort telephone functions can only be carried out and activated in the second operating mode 10 or in the third operating mode 15. After program point 125, the program part is left.
