Description

Descrizione dell’ invenzione industriale dal titolo NUOVO TIPO DI TELEFONO CELLULARE CHE, SFRUTTANDO UNA RETE ‘Wireless Personal Area Network’ (WPAN) COSTRUITA ALLO SCOPO, E’ IN GRADO DI PROLUNGARE IL RAGGIO DI COPERTURA DELLA COMUNICAZIONE RADIOTELEFONICA DI UNA ‘CELLA’ Description of the industrial invention entitled NEW TYPE OF MOBILE PHONE WHICH, BY USING A 'Wireless Personal Area Network' (WPAN) BUILT FOR THE PURPOSE, IS ABLE TO EXTEND THE COVERAGE OF THE RADIO COMMUNICATION OF A 'CELL'

DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION

La presente invenzione nasce dall’esigenza di consentire una normale conversazione radiotelefonica, quindi con telefono cellulare, anche in zone oltre il raggio di copertura di una ‘cella’ come, ad esempio, all’interno di una abitazione dove il segnale radiotelefonico, di solito, non è distribuito uniformemente in modo sufficiente. The present invention arises from the need to allow a normal radiotelephone conversation, therefore with a cell phone, even in areas beyond the range of coverage of a 'cell' such as, for example, inside a home where the radiotelephone signal, usually , it is not distributed evenly enough.

Attualmente non esistono, sul mercato, telefoni cellulari con caratteristiche simili. There are currently no mobile phones with similar characteristics on the market.

L’invenzione viene, pertanto, di seguito descritta a scopo illustrativo e non limitativo in base ad una versione attualmente preferita dagli inventori e riferita alla ingegnerizzazione del presente nuovo tipo di telefono cellulare nel seguito denominato anche ‘cellulare ibrido’. The invention is, therefore, described below for illustrative and non-limiting purposes based on a version currently preferred by the inventors and referred to the engineering of this new type of mobile phone hereinafter also referred to as 'hybrid mobile'.

L’ originalità e le performanti peculiarità di questo ‘cellulare ibrido’ consistono nell’ implementare un apparato radio ricetrasmettitore, utilizzante le bande di frequenze libere 868-915 MHz o 2400 2483,5 Mhz, con un telefono cellulare. The originality and performance peculiarities of this 'hybrid mobile' consist in implementing a radio transceiver device, using the free frequency bands 868-915 MHz or 2400 2483.5 Mhz, with a mobile phone.

In tale modo, realizzando una opportuna interfaccia hardware tra i due sistemi e un idoneo firmware, questo ‘cellulare ibrido’ riesce a realizzare nuove prestazioni. In this way, by creating an appropriate hardware interface between the two systems and a suitable firmware, this 'hybrid phone' is able to achieve new performances.

Per spiegare tutte le possibili nuove prestazioni del presente trovato vediamo di spiegare cosa occorre per ottenerle. To explain all the possible new features of the present invention, let us explain what is needed to obtain them.

Innanzitutto, con l’ausilio di una rete ‘Wireless Personal Area Network’, chiamata WPAN e operante nelle bande di frequenze libere 868-915 MHz o 2400 2483,5 Mhz,, costituita da piccoli sistemi radio che utilizzano protocolli, come ad esempio lo ZigBee, che già di fatto sono diventati degli standard, è possibile ottenere e stabilire un numero limitato di conversazioni telefoniche radio. First of all, with the aid of a 'Wireless Personal Area Network', called WPAN and operating in the free frequency bands 868-915 MHz or 2400 2483.5 Mhz, consisting of small radio systems that use protocols, such as the ZigBee, which have already become standards, it is possible to obtain and establish a limited number of radio telephone conversations.

lnfatti, gli utenti che vogliono utilizzare e connettersi alla rete WPAN devono dotarsi di un sistema radio compatibile con la rete ed ovviamente detto apparato, per permettere la chiamata, la selezione e successiva conversazione, deve essere dotato di una tastiera, ad esempio, alfanumerica, di un display TFT, ad esempio, di una memoria, di ima presa per cuffia e di un microfono. Insomma gli utenti devono avere un ‘mini telefono cellulare’ che ha però il solo utilizzo nell’ambito di una rete WPAN. Detto ‘mini telefono cellulare’ è facile realizzarlo con i sistemi radio attualmente presenti sul mercato. In fact, users who want to use and connect to the WPAN network must have a radio system compatible with the network and obviously said device, to allow the call, selection and subsequent conversation, must be equipped with a keyboard, for example, alphanumeric, a TFT display, for example, a memory, a headphone jack and a microphone. In short, users must have a 'mini mobile phone' which, however, can only be used within a WPAN network. Called 'mini mobile phone' it is easy to make it with the radio systems currently on the market.

Ovviamente tali comunicazioni, operando su frequenze libere, non hanno costi di traffico per gli utenti se non quelli gestionali per la realizzazione e il mantenimento della rete stessa. Obviously, these communications, operating on free frequencies, have no traffic costs for users other than management costs for the construction and maintenance of the network itself.

Successivamente, deve esistere questo ‘cellulare ibrido’, oggetto della presente invenzione, assemblato e realizzato con le seguenti parti: Subsequently, this 'hybrid cell phone' must exist, object of the present invention, assembled and made with the following parts:

• telefono cellulare con il proprio apparato radio e relative funzioni; • mobile phone with its own radio and related functions;

• apparato radio ricetrasmettitore operante nelle bande di frequenze libere 868-915 MHz o 2400-2483,5 Mhz; • radio transceiver equipment operating in the 868-915 MHz or 2400-2483.5 Mhz free frequency bands;

• interfaccia hardware e relativo firmware per elaborare le informazioni e trasferirle, in maniera idonea, tra i due sistemi dei due diversi apparati radio precedenti; • hardware interface and relative firmware to process the information and transfer it, in a suitable manner, between the two systems of the two different previous radio devices;

• possibilità per l’utente<'>di adoperare il ‘cellulare ibrido’ sia come cellulare normale sia come strumento per connettersi anche con una rete WPAN. • possibility for the user <'> to use the' hybrid cell phone 'both as a normal cell phone and as a tool to connect with a WPAN network.

Con la presenza di questo nuovo tipo di telefono cellulare, con attivata la funzione di operare con le aggiuntive prestazioni, e quella di una rete ‘Wireless Personal Area Network’, piccola quanto si voglia costituita, al limite, da un solo nodo, è possibile prolungare il raggio di copertura radio di una ‘cella’. With the presence of this new type of mobile phone, with the function of operating with the additional performance activated, and that of a 'Wireless Personal Area Network', as small as one wishes to consist, in the limit, of a single node, it is possible extend the radio coverage range of a 'cell'.

Infatti, facciamo l’esempio di una casa dove il segnale radiotelefonico non è distribuito uniformemente in modo sufficiente. In tale contesto, l’utente deve essere munito del presente ‘cellulare ibrido’ e di almeno un nodo terminale della rete ‘Wireless Personal Area Network’, precedentemente chiamato ‘mini telefono cellulare’ o addirittura di un altro ‘cellulare ibrido’. In fact, let's take the example of a house where the radiotelephone signal is not distributed uniformly enough. In this context, the user must be equipped with this 'hybrid cell phone' and at least one terminal node of the 'Wireless Personal Area Network', previously called 'mini cell phone' or even another 'hybrid cell phone'.

In tale contesto, l’utente può depositare il ‘cellulare ibrido’ in una posizione dove il segnale radiotelefonico è sufficiente e deposita il ‘mini telefono cellulare’ della rete o addirittura un altro ‘cellulare ibrido’ in una zona qualsiasi dell’abitazione ove sia raggiungibile dalla rete WPAN. In this context, the user can deposit the 'hybrid mobile phone' in a position where the radiotelephone signal is sufficient and deposit the 'mini mobile phone' of the network or even another 'hybrid mobile phone' in any area of the home where it is reachable from the WPAN network.

Quando arriva una chiamata per l’utente, il firmware del nuovo tipo di telefono cellulare trasmette la chiamata anche sulla rete WPAN fino a raggiungere il ‘mini telefono cellulare’ o un altro ‘cellulare ibrido’. Se l’utente vuole stabilire la comunicazione la attiva sul ‘mini telefono cellulare’ o sull’altro cellulare ibrido’ e in tal modo, sempre il firmware del nuovo tipo di telefono cellulare, si fa carico di ricevere e ritrasmettere i dati relativi alla conversazione. When a call arrives for the user, the firmware of the new type of mobile phone also transmits the call over the WPAN network until it reaches the 'mini mobile phone' or another 'hybrid mobile'. If the user wants to establish communication, he activates it on the 'mini mobile phone' or on the other hybrid mobile phone 'and in this way, always the firmware of the new type of mobile phone, is responsible for receiving and retransmitting the data relating to the conversation. .

Come si vede dall’esempio, l’utente riceve un beneficio senza nessun costo aggiuntivo, anzi è libero di muoversi nella sua abitazione in considerazione del fato che la copertura radiotelefonica la può gestire a piacimento attraverso i nodi della rete WPAN. As can be seen from the example, the user receives a benefit at no additional cost, indeed he is free to move around his home in consideration of the fact that the radiotelephone coverage can be managed at will through the nodes of the WPAN network.
