Description

[Detailed description of the invention] How to make an individual call This invention is capable of transmitting and receiving signals simultaneously, such as in a private telephone system. Factories, offices, or regarding how to implement individual calls in internal communications of other relevant organizations.

In offices and other premises, maintaining contact between different people and monitoring the movement of people Several different systems are currently in use for the purpose of managing.

These systems include one phone call One premises telephone One working time management system One-pass management system Includes 1.

Based on research and in practice, a central issue within organizations is how people communicate. None of the above communication systems can solve communication problems within an organization on its own. (Organizations that already have 100% of their phones/systems may not be able to Get a local phone, time tracking device, and individual paging device regardless of location (This proves that he is thinking about it)

Additionally, different types of systems, such as telephones, individual basing devices, etc. Although they are often linked together to make them work together, All solutions in use or commonly known are single systems. Recognized.

The inability to contact people is not due to technical flaws in existing systems. It is said that people spend only about 50% of their total working time at their workplace. Recent research proves that this is the case. Additionally, for example, individual pages A highly effective individual locating system, such as the It turns out that peace of mind at work cannot be guaranteed. More and more technically efficient Communication is becoming more and more important, for example, when it comes to personal work efficiency, such as peace of mind while working. It has been proven in fact to intensify related psychological factors. Variety of known communication methods Lack of sex means that when the person wants contact, the person -+= but when the person wants to work undisturbed, the information is called up. A message that is important for those who are calling, explaining why the person is unable to respond to the call. indicated by the fact that the system cannot return to the caller. It is.

It is an object of the invention that communication based on the method can be implemented in one assembly. To propose a method for implementing individual calls that can handle all system operations. It is in.

According to the method according to the invention, the locating of individuals within the premises is carried out automatically and A call made to someone will automatically be directed to that person. The central idea of the present invention is In conventional systems, for example, in the case of a telephone call, by selecting a telephone number, A call is made to a specific phone located close to where a person is thought to be. , the method according to the invention consists in that the person himself is called.

The method according to the invention works in a unique way that replaces several different systems. In order to form a unitary system, some essential elements are extracted from a known system. It can be implemented by combining technically known technical solutions.

The method according to the invention comprises: - An individual posting to said organization shall have means fixedly connected to said communication system and a device carried by the individual and between said means and a display device capable of wireless data transmission; be located on the basis of data communications; and - the data relating to the located individual shall be , through one of the means connected to the communication system, the location of that means being known. transmitted only to the solid equipment of the communication system in each specific case. - files related to personal locating, paging, working time management, communication overcontrol and, for example, to the person you are trying to contact about someone's absence. Telephone calls made to these people are transferred to this communication system in order to communicate messages, etc. by means of a solid bag device used to direct the system to the terminal closest to the person. It is characterized by that it is maintained.

Therefore, when contacting a person according to the present invention, said person must be the same person. It is called using a number, code, or name that represents In a communication system based on files maintained by the device, the phone Aimed at the terminal closest to the person.

The method according to the invention provides for simultaneous receiving and receiving calls and data communications located in different spaces. the individual terminals capable of communicating and the operational control of these terminals, e.g. on solid equipment. equipment, individual identification indicators carried by individuals, and built-in terminals. The communication system can be implemented by a communication system consisting of an identifier.

This method accommodates traditional private telephone systems and connects directly to them by cable. performs the functions of display terminals and solid equipment connected and carried by the people based on the use of a communication system with a distributed arrangement and shunting solid equipment. . Terminals and solid equipment allow normal call connections to occur within the system. message by means of a display device that can be used or possibly built into the terminal. can be transmitted.

An example of such a private telephone system is S:ff1hk611ikke. One example is iden's SLO1000 private telephone system.

The essential features of such a communication system are two-way calls and data transmission. What can be done also during the connection between the terminal and the solid device, and for this purpose a separate No additional cables are required and the structure of the system allows caller identification. What can be done automatically, that is, when communicating between a terminal and a solid device, which terminal Identification is made as to whether each connection or message is occurring, and thereby Of course, the location of the display connected to the communication system is also known. .

Furthermore, this communication system is connected to a mobile display device and a means capable of wireless data transmission. be done. According to the invention, only one of them can be carried by a person at a time Said means, i.e. an identifier, may be arranged such that the indicator be done. In practice, this is achieved by integrating said means into the terminals of the communication system. It will be implemented.

The mobile display has a fixed unique identification code that can be changed freely. It is a small, battery-operated, short-range carrier transmitter and receiver. is a battery-powered device. into the communication system, preferably one connected to that terminal. The identified identifier can be used to independently query whether one or several displays are in the immediate vicinity. can be matched. If you have such a display, please contact us with this inquiry. The display then transmits its identification code to the terminal using an agreed response procedure. can be transmitted to the receiver. These further determine which indicators Proximity information, i.e. where someone can actually be contacted. information is transmitted to the solid device. In confined spaces, wireless data transmission Suitable means for carrying out the transmission are, for example, the same as those used for wireless remote control. Consists of means.

Perhaps the best embodiment of the method according to the invention is to The purpose is to identify people through data communication between the stage and the mobile display. Inquiries made by central communicators built into the solid equipment of the communication system. and the answer sent by the display to an identifier built into the terminal of the communication system. It may be advantageous to identify a person on the basis of: due to his position Although a telephone connection cannot be established immediately, please contact him for those who are being sought. The concentrator can also transmit messages that there is an attempt to do so. Also, If the stages are synchronized in time, the terminal queries and answers the The opposite procedure can also be used, where the data is sent directly to the solid device.

The central idea of the invention - the method of individual calling - is that when using the method according to the invention, a person No need to locate through phone number, call waves directly regardless of his location means that it can be done. The communication path between the calling party and the terminal near the called party is It can be opened automatically. When applying this method, the connection is a phone number Since the telephone number is directly linked to the individual rather than directly to the person, e.g. superseded by the alphanumeric individual identification method used to summon all the persons in question. can be done. This means that the terminal is provided with an alphanumeric key bead. Ru. If the terminal has an additional display (e.g. alphanumeric type with 4 to 8 marks) or numeric display), the arrangement and status of individuals (indicators) can be set to different types of states, for example, the person does not want to be contacted (busy). can be returned to the user of the system and why someone is You can give him information about whether he is available for contact. By this method Individual basing and, for example, flexible working time management are integrated, so these capabilities Feed bank data regarding performance (e.g. sick leave, summer vacation, etc.) may also be provided to the user. can be displayed.

According to the method of the present invention, telephone calls, office calls, etc. The importance of the nature of what is known from the home phone is reduced.

This system differs from an individual paging device in the following respects. mobile display Instructions regarding reports sent to the has its own identification code, the transmission of which leads to the locating of people. Since each indicator has one, there is no need for circuits that are commonly used but are inconvenient to adjust.

Seventh, the display is capable of two-way data communication and has logical and operational capabilities. Electronics that can operate several indicators simultaneously around the same identifier if necessary Including.

The essential difference between individual paging handsets and handheld displays is the ability to locate and identify individuals. The indication of the status of the That is.

The method according to the invention allows two-way data communication and uses radio frequency, ultrasound or infrared Known presentation methods based on the use of line signals or combinations thereof are: System combo needed for personal locating - tents like other known solutions They differ in the important respect that they are not separate systems. Therefore, separate No receiving equipment, separate cables, radio or carrier equipment is required.

All indicators of the system according to the invention operate at the same carrier frequency and have a transport distance. Due to the short distance between the identifiers and the logical data communication procedure between the identifiers, it is possible to The code message sent by the display is In addition to the identification code on the display, there is also information about the person, for example, if the person does not wish to be contacted. Other information indicating status may be included. The person is within the organization but does not want to be disturbed. The person calling will be informed that there is no one available. Achieved by means of this method This additional advantage also applies to known systems that operate according to the present method. Distinguish from directional or bidirectional individual basing systems.

A central feature of the method according to the invention is that, due to the short conveying distance, e.g. Simple methods such as speed of sound, as well as other corresponding transmission methods, can be used to display and identify data It can be used as a transmission method.

When using a centralized transmitter, similar to current wireless individual paging devices, wireless or inductive can be used for data transmission between the transmitter and the display.

Unique identifiers are not intended for use in making or receiving phone calls, so they cannot be used for two-way communication. Power consumption, which is a central problem with individual paging handsets, is avoided. Connecting a call is performed between two terminals, and only the individual's position in the system is visible from the display. transmitted to the communication system. From possible independent inquiry cycles of transmitting and receiving devices Known from remote drive technology to prevent the increase in data flow transients that occur Although the principles of intelligent networks can be used between terminals and solid equipment, , which means that only the information of the change is transmitted to the solid device. next , the delay that occurs follows a stochastic function and depends on the number of changes. This is the previous Storage means that remembers which indicators were near the terminal during the interrogation cycle The data terminal device contains a new circulation and changes are confirmed when comparing the recorded data This means that the data is sent to a physical device.

An essential feature in this respect is that communication by signals is becoming increasingly necessary. Despite the relatively slow data transmission methods known from private telephone systems, The method is applied to the private telephone system 5LO1000, Another advantage is that it can be realized structurally at low cost.

An essential feature of the method according to the invention is also that the structural elements of the transmitter/receiver device and the solid device are The use of computer-type components to create distributed data files known from computer technology File management methods are available. This is the identification of solid equipment and call terminals. Maintaining a complete or partial picture of an identifier's location and state data along with its children. means. All of the above methods actually control local data communication in the system. Contributes to being within possible limits.

With the help of the above-mentioned methods, the technical limits of known solutions in terms of information transfer capabilities can be overcome. A complete product that can also be implemented as a functional system in a rather wide range of applications without It can be formed at any time.

The method according to the invention thus allows the transmission of two types of mutually independent location information, the independent inquiries made by the transmitting and receiving devices regarding the surrounding conditions; , transmission of changes in state data to the solid device. transmitted to solid equipment Based on data from An address file directed to people is maintained. This kind of file is For example, a private telephone controlled by a time-sharing calculator similar to the SLO100o It can be easily implemented.

As mentioned above, this method monitors the presence or absence of an indicator in the storage stand. Especially by using the information obtained to manage working hours. It can be used as

By placing a separate identifier on the door intended for restricted entry , the door can open and close automatically when a person approaches the door. With this method, Separate working time management devices are being replaced in many applications by separate transit management devices. It's broken.

The method according to the invention therefore makes sense, for example, in the equipment necessary for recording working hours, in the premises information, individual basing equipment, working time management equipment, transit management equipment, and presence/absence pipes. It integrates additional equipment needed for each application, such as processing equipment. The present invention In its basic form, the present invention targets internal communication within an organization. It also covers data communications that take place from to the organization to or outside the organization. It is. Therefore, a system operating according to the method of the present invention can also handle conventional telephones. It is a replacement.
