Description

Cette invention concerne les domaines techniques de la téléphonie mobileThis invention relates to the technical fields of mobile telephony

et des mécanismes d'impression. Cette invention est un dispositif d'impression qui permet d'imprimer le contenu des SMS (Short Messaging Services) également appelés : textos, et des mails. Ces derniers étant stockés dans un téléphone portable (ou tout autre appareil conçu pour recevoir les SMS et les mails: SmartPhone,...). Nous parlerons dans la suite de cette description pour éviter les répétitions de téléphone portable et de SMS.  and printing mechanisms. This invention is a printing device that can print the content of SMS (Short Messaging Services) also called: text messages, and emails. These are stored in a mobile phone (or any other device designed to receive SMS and email: SmartPhone, ...). We will talk later in this description to avoid repetitions of mobile phone and SMS.

Pour les utilisateurs de téléphones portables, il n'existe pas aujourd'hui de dispositif permettant d'imprimer les SMS reçus par la technologie précisée ce-après. La présente invention permet de remédier à ce problème.  For mobile phone users, there is currently no device for printing SMS received by the technology specified below. The present invention overcomes this problem.

Dans la pratique, les utilisateurs reçoivent des SMS sur leurs téléphones. II arrive, que ces utilisateurs souhaitent conserver certains de ces messages courts. Dans le même temps, la mémoire interne des téléphone mobile allouée au stockage des SMS est fixe (et spécifique aux caractéristiques du téléphone portable). Ces SMS peuvent donc s'accumuler dans la mémoire des téléphones. Pour les utilisateurs échangeant un grand nombre de SMS, il arrive que cette mémoire soit saturée. Ces utilisateurs ont alors une seule possibilité pour recevoir de nouveau des SMS : supprimer certains SMS. Concrètement, certains utilisateurs, désireux de garder une trace des SMS qu'ils devront supprimer, recopient de façon manuscrite les SMS à effacer.  In practice, users receive text messages on their phones. It happens that these users want to keep some of these short messages. At the same time, the internal memory of the mobile phone allocated to the storage of SMS is fixed (and specific to the characteristics of the mobile phone). These SMS can accumulate in the memory of phones. For users exchanging a large number of SMS, it happens that this memory is saturated. These users then have one option to receive SMS again: delete some SMS. Specifically, some users, wanting to keep track of the SMS they must delete, copy handwritten text messages to erase.

En l'état actuel, il n'existe pas dans les recherches que j'ai pu mener de solutions techniques permettant aux utilisateurs d'imprimer rapidement les SMS reçus. Cette invention va donc permettre aux utilisateurs de garder une trace sur papier des SMS reçus (comme de ceux envoyés ou de ceux présents dans les brouillons selon les fonctionnalités du téléphone). Les SMS imprimés pourront êtres conservés ou transmis à un tiers.  In the current state, there is no research that I could lead technical solutions allowing users to quickly print SMS received. This invention will therefore allow users to keep a paper trail of received SMS (as those sent or those present in drafts according to the features of the phone). Printed SMS may be retained or transmitted to a third party.

L'invention décrite ici, impacte les menus des téléphones portables actuels, dans le sens, où elle nécessite l'ajout d'un item dans les menus, cette item lance la commande d'impression sur l'imprimante à SMS. Cette commande va être envoyé à l'imprimante à SMS via le port Infra-rouge du téléphone, ou bien via le Bluetooth.  The invention described here, impacts the menus of current mobile phones, in the sense, where it requires the addition of an item in the menus, this item starts the print command on the SMS printer. This command will be sent to the SMS printer via the Infra Red port of the phone, or via Bluetooth.

La séquence d'action est la suivante : 1/ Activation de l'Infra-rouge du téléphone ou du Bluetooth, 2/ Activation du bouton Marche de l'imprimante à SMS (la position de cette étape dans le processus est variable), 3/ Choix du SMS à imprimer sur le téléphone portable, 4/ Sélection dans les options du téléphone de la commande Imprimer par exemple (ou 5 encore Transférer vers imprimante ), 5/ Passage par le port Infra-rouge ou par le Bluetooth, de la commande d'impression, du téléphone vers l'imprimante, 6/ Interprétation de la commande d'impression par l'imprimante, 7/ Démarrage de l'impression du SMS 10 8/ Section du papier après la fin de l'impression du SMS.  The action sequence is as follows: 1 / Activation of the Infra-red of the phone or Bluetooth, 2 / Activation of the Start button of the SMS printer (the position of this step in the process is variable), 3 / Selection of the SMS to be printed on the mobile phone, 4 / Selection in the phone options of the Print command for example (or 5 Transfer to printer), 5 / Switching via the Infra-Red port or Bluetooth, the print command, from the phone to the printer, 6 / Interpreting the print order by the printer, 7 / Starting the SMS printing 10 8 / Paper section after the end of the SMS printing .

Cette imprimante se compose d'un rouleau de papier sur lequel sera imprimé le contenu du SMS (ou de plusieurs SMS dans une version ultérieure de l'imprimante) à imprimer. Elle comporte également l'ensemble des mécanismes d'impression (cartouche 15 d'encre, stylet, ...). L'imprimante comporte ensuite, pour les deux modes de communication avec le téléphone portable : un port Infra-rouge et une entrée Bluetooth.  This printer consists of a roll of paper on which will be printed the contents of the SMS (or several SMS in a later version of the printer) to print. It also includes all the printing mechanisms (ink cartridge, stylus, etc.). The printer then has, for the two modes of communication with the mobile phone: an infrared port and a Bluetooth input.

La spécificité de l'imprimante à SMS vient de sa fonction d'interprétation de la commande d'impression des SMS (ou de mails) qui sera émise par le téléphone via le port 20 Infra-rouge ou le bluetooth (deux sorties présentes quasiment sur tout les nouveaux téléphones portables). Dans une version optimale de l'imprimante, le rouleau de papier de l'imprimante aura une dimension réduite de façon à ce que la présentation du SMS sur le téléphone et celle de la sortie papier soit identique (même nombre de lignes, même nombre de 25 caractère par ligne). Afin de répondre aux différents besoins de l'utilisateur, il pourra lui être proposé du papier uni et blanc, coloré, collant, transparent, brillant, etc. Dans le cas d'un rouleau de papier collant, après l'impression d'un SMS, les utilisateurs pourront ainsi coller sur un support quelconque le SMS imprimé (agenda, cahier, bureau, véhicule,...). 30 Un SMS imprimé devra comporter au minimum les textes du SMS et au maximum les informations suivantes : Une indication de l'expéditeur du SMS (numéro de téléphone, dénomination, mail,...), 35 - Une indication du destinataire du SMS (idem), - La date et l'heure de réception (ou de création, voir de modification), Le contenu dactylographié du SMS.  The specificity of the SMS printer comes from its function of interpreting the print command SMS (or email) that will be issued by the phone via the port 20 Infra-red or bluetooth (two outputs present almost on all new cell phones). In an optimal version of the printer, the paper roll of the printer will be reduced in size so that the presentation of the SMS on the phone and that of the paper output is identical (same number of lines, same number of lines). 25 characters per line). In order to meet the different needs of the user, he may be offered plain and white paper, colored, sticky, transparent, glossy, etc. In the case of a roll of sticky paper, after printing an SMS, users will be able to paste on any medium the printed SMS (agenda, notebook, office, vehicle, ...). 30 A printed SMS must include at least the texts of the SMS and at most the following information: An indication of the sender of the SMS (telephone number, name, mail, ...), 35 - An indication of the recipient of the SMS ( idem), - The date and time of receipt (or creation, see modification), The typewritten content of the SMS.

Un système permettra la découpe facile du papier imprimé. L'imprimante pourra être dotée d'un rebord qui permettra la découpe facile et sans déchirure du papier selon sa largeur.  A system will allow easy cutting of the printed paper. The printer may have a rim that will allow easy cutting and tear-free paper according to its width.

Cette invention peut jouer un rôle clé dans l'avenir dans le sens, où elle permettra aux utilisateur réguliers de SMS de pouvoir les imprimer, les conserver et les stocker sans aucune limite de nombre. Les utilisateurs ne seront plus ennuyés par la mémoire fixe allouée aux SMS, dans leurs téléphones portables. D'autre part, les SMS sont des messages de différentes natures. Ils sont parfois utiles (un mail y est noté, une adresse,...), parfois sentimentale (une déclaration, une dispute,...), parfois liés à un événement (une naissance, un rendez-vous,...). L'invention est donc utile, puisque d'une part, toutes ces informations peuvent être importantes à conserver sur papier, et d'autre part, le tri puis l'élimination sélective des SMS qui a lieu lorsque la mémoire est saturée ne se fera plus sans gêne, ni désagrément ou encore perte de temps (réécriture manuscrite sur papier). La rapidité du transfert du SMS et de son impression sont les éléments clefs de la réussite de cette invention. L'imprimante, se devra également autant que possible d'avoir un dimension réduite afin de faciliter sa portabilité dans la vie courante.  This invention can play a key role in the future in that it will enable regular SMS users to print, store and store them without any number limit. Users will no longer be bothered by the fixed memory allocated to SMS in their mobile phones. On the other hand, SMS are messages of different natures. They are sometimes useful (an email is noted, an address, ...), sometimes sentimental (a statement, an argument, ...), sometimes related to an event (a birth, an appointment, ... ). The invention is therefore useful, since firstly, all this information can be important to keep on paper, and secondly, the sorting and selective removal of SMS that takes place when the memory is saturated will be done more without embarrassment, inconvenience or loss of time (handwritten rewriting on paper). The speed of the transfer of the SMS and its printing are the key elements of the success of this invention. The printer, should as much as possible to have a reduced size to facilitate its portability in everyday life.
