Description

TelefongerätTelephone device
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Telefongerät der im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 spezifizierten Art.The present invention relates to a telephone device of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
Bekannte Telefongeräte dieser Art weisen eine Linienwahlein- heit auf, welche ermöglicht, durch Tastaturbedienung sämtliche zur Verfügung stehenden Linien anzuwählen.Known telephone devices of this type have a line selection unit which enables all available lines to be selected by keyboard operation.
Bei gewissen Organisationsformen, bei denen beispielsweise periphere Geräteinheiten ausschliesslich mit einer Zentrale kommunizieren sollten, sind die herkömmlichen Telefongeräte der genannten Art ungeeignet, einerseits, weil sie die freie Linienwahl ermöglichen und damit ein in der angesprochenen Organisationsstruktur nicht erwünschtes Telefonieren. Dies zu kontrollieren, bedeutet einen wesentlichen Aufwand. Anderseits sind sie gerade wegen der freien Linienwahl für solche Zwecke wesentlich zu aufwendig, und in manchen Fällen ist die Linienwahl selber zu kompliziert.In certain forms of organization, in which, for example, peripheral device units should only communicate with a central office, the conventional telephone devices of the type mentioned are unsuitable, on the one hand because they enable free line selection and thus make calls that are undesirable in the organizational structure mentioned. Controlling this means a lot of effort. On the other hand, precisely because of the free choice of lines, they are much too complex for such purposes, and in some cases the choice of line itself is too complicated.
Ein typisches Beispiel einer Organisationsstruktur der obge- nannten Art, bei welcher Bedienungseinfachheit an Peripheriegerät von ausschlaggebender Bedeutung ist, ist diejenige, bei der eine Mutter jederzeit mit ihren Kindern kommunizieren können möchte, sei dies in der Schule oder auf dem Spielplatz. Eine andere derartige Organisationsstruktur kann bei Aussendienststellen bezüglich einer Zentrale bestehen etc.A typical example of an organizational structure of the aforementioned type, in which ease of use on peripheral devices is of crucial importance, is the one in which a mother would like to be able to communicate with her children at any time, be it at school or on the playground. Another organizational structure of this type can exist at field offices with regard to a central office, etc.
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Telefongerät obgenannter Art vorzuschlagen, welches höchst kostengünstig herstellbar, den erwähnten Bedürfnissen Rechnung trägt. Dies wird beim Telefongerät genannter Art durch dessen Ausbildung nach dem Kennzeichen von Anspruch 1 erreicht. Die Erfindung wird anschliessend beispielsweise anhand von Figuren erläutert. Es zeigen:It is an object of the present invention to propose a telephone device of the type mentioned above, which can be manufactured at very low cost and which meets the needs mentioned. This is achieved in the telephone device of the type mentioned by its design according to the characterizing part of claim 1. The invention is subsequently explained using figures, for example.

Wie schematisch in Fig. 1 dargestellt, sind, entsprechend, Mikrophon 3 mit einem Eingang, Lautsprecher 5 mit einem Ausgang der Funkeinheit 1 verbunden. Im weiteren ist mit der Funkeinheit 1 eine Speichereinheit 7 wirkverbunden, welche die Gera- teidentifikationsnummer beinhaltet und so das Gerät für ankommende Anrufe identifiziert.The telephone device according to the invention is a so-called radio telephone device and works on the respective local radio telephone network, such as via the Natel network, the GMS network, the USA or the Japanese network. For this purpose, as is customary with such telephone devices, it has a radio unit 1 with transmitting and receiving units for the radio signal S. Furthermore, an acoustic / electrical converter, preferably in the form of a microphone 3, is provided, as well as an electrical / acoustic converter, preferably in the form of a loudspeaker 5. As shown schematically in FIG. 1, there are correspondingly microphone 3 with an input, Loudspeaker 5 connected to an output of radio unit 1. Furthermore, a storage unit 7 is operatively connected to the radio unit 1, which part identification number and thus identifies the device for incoming calls.
Telefongeräte dieser Art weisen im weiteren eine Linienwahl- Identifikationseinheit auf, bei welcher, üblicherweise tastenfeldgesteuert, die erwünschte Linie für ausgehende Gespräche gewählt werden kann. Erfindungsgemäss besteht beim erfindungsgemässen Gerät die Linienwahl-Identifikationseinheit aus einem Nur-Lese-Speicher 9, einem ROM, womit vorzugsweise nur eine einzige Linienwahlnummer identifiziert wird.Telephone devices of this type furthermore have a line selection identification unit, in which, usually via the keypad, the desired line can be selected for outgoing calls. According to the invention, the line selection identification unit in the device according to the invention consists of a read-only memory 9, a ROM, with which preferably only a single line selection number is identified.
Die Speichereinheit 7 kann dabei direkt die vom Netzbetreiber dem Gerät zugeordnete Anwahlnummer als Geräte-Identifikationsnummer beinhalten.The storage unit 7 can directly contain the dial number assigned to the device by the network operator as the device identification number.
Auch der Nur-Lesespeicher 9 kann direkt die Linienwahlnummer der gewollten Empfangsstation beinhalten.Read-only memory 9 can also directly contain the line dial number of the desired receiving station.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform gemass Fig. 2 beinhaltet aber die Speichereinheit 7 einen fix dem Gerät zugeordneten Code, einen PIN-Code.In a preferred embodiment according to FIG. 2, however, the storage unit 7 contains a code that is permanently assigned to the device, a PIN code.
Auch der Nur-Lesespeicher 9 beinhaltet vorzugsweise einen fix zugeordneten Code, vorzugsweise denselben PIN-Code. Damit kann, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, nurmehr eine Speichereinheit 7/9 für den angesprochenen PIN-Code vorgesehen sein.Read-only memory 9 also preferably contains a permanently assigned code, preferably the same PIN code. Thus, as shown in FIG. 2, only one memory unit 7/9 can be provided for the PIN code mentioned.
Bei der ersten Ausführungsform gemass Fig. 1 kann der Linien- wahlspeicher 9 bevorzugterweise, wie durch eine Servicestelle, modular entfernt werden und zur Änderung der Linienwahlnummer einer vorgegebenen Empfangsstation ein anderes Speichermodul eingesetzt werden. Durch Tastaturbetätigung, vorzugsweise und wie schematisch in Fig. 1 dargestellt, lediglich einer einzigen Taste 11 am Gerät wird die abgespei- cherte Nummer AAA ... der Empfangsstation von Speichereinheit 9 zur Linienanwahl an die Funkeinheit 1 übermittelt. Die Speichereinheit 7 wird mit der das Geräte identifizierenden Anrufnummer geladen.In the first embodiment according to FIG. 1, the line selection memory 9 can preferably be removed in a modular manner, as by a service point, and another memory module can be used to change the line selection number of a given receiving station. By pressing the keyboard, preferably and as shown schematically in FIG. 1, only a single key 11 on the device is saved. number AAA ... of the receiving station from memory unit 9 for line selection to radio unit 1. The storage unit 7 is loaded with the call number identifying the device.
Bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform gemass Fig. 2 wird hingegen die Kommunikation wie folgt aufgebaut:In contrast, in the preferred embodiment according to FIG. 2, the communication is set up as follows:
Eine Zentrale registriert, dem Geräte-Code (PIN-Code) zugeordnet, die Linienwahlnummer des dem erfindungsgemässen Gerät zugeordneten Empfängers .A control center registers, assigned to the device code (PIN code), the line dial number of the recipient assigned to the device according to the invention.
Auf Tastendruck am erfindungsgemässen Gerät hin wird von letzterem ein dem PIN-Code entsprechendes Signal an die Zentrale gesendet. Daraus identifiziert die Zentrale das anrufende Gerät und erstellt über ganz normale Linienwahl die Verbindung zwischen dem identifizierten Gerät und dem mit diesem Gerät mitidentifizierten, beabsichtigten einen Empfän- geranschluss .At the push of a button on the device according to the invention, the latter sends a signal corresponding to the PIN code to the control center. The control center uses this to identify the calling device and uses normal line selection to establish the connection between the identified device and the intended recipient connection, which was also identified with this device.
Umgekehrt erstellt die Zentrale bei eingehenden Anrufen für das erfindungsgemässe Gerät insbesondere ab der vorerwähnten ausgewählten Empfängerstation die Verbindung zum Gerät mittels eines dem PIN-Code entsprechenden Aufrufsignals .Conversely, the central office establishes the connection to the device for incoming calls for the device according to the invention, in particular from the aforementioned selected receiver station, by means of a call signal corresponding to the PIN code.
Bei der letzterwähnten, bevorzugten Realisationsform gemass Fig. 2 kann der geräteidentifizierende Code fix dem Gerät zugeordnet sein, die erwünschte Empfangsstation wird bei der Zentrale für den spezifischen Gerätecode bestellt.2, the device-identifying code can be permanently assigned to the device, the desired receiving station is ordered from the control center for the specific device code.
Ein solch höchst einfaches Telefongerät, welches nur zulässt, eine einzige Linie anzuwählen, eignet sich ausserordentlich gut zur Kinderbedienung oder für die Bedienung weiterer Personenkreise, bei denen eine fehlersichere, rasche Bedienung wie zu Alarmzwecken gefordert ist. Solche Personenkreise können in Wachtorganisationen, bei sportlichen Tätigkeiten wie beim Bergsteigen, Segeln, Tauchen unschätzbare Dienste leisten.Such a very simple telephone device, which only allows a single line to be dialed, is extremely well suited for child operation or for the operation of other groups of people who require quick, fail-safe operation as required for alarm purposes. Such groups of people can provide invaluable services in guard organizations, in sports such as mountaineering, sailing, diving.
In Fig. 3 ist beispielsweise für Kinder das erfindungsgemässe Gerät in einen Steckclip integriert und die einzige zu bedienende Tase 11a an markanter, einprägsamer Stelle vorgesehen. Ein solches Gerät eignet sich auch ausgezeichnet als Werbeträger.In Fig. 3, for example, the device according to the invention is integrated into a plug-in clip for children and the only tase 11a to be operated is provided at a striking, memorable location. Such a device is also ideal as an advertising medium.
In Fig. 4 ist schematisch die Kommunikationsstruktur dargestellt, bei welcher zwei erfindungsgemässe Peripheriegeräte P1 2 beispielsweise der beiden Kinder, je durch die gewollte Gegenstation G, beispielsweise bei der Mutter, mit der jeweiligen am erfindungsgemässen Gerät abgespeicherten Geräteidentifikationsnummer entsprechend 7 von Fig. 1 aufgerufen werden können. Darnach kann die Gegenstation G, wie beispielsweise die Mutter, mit dem jeweiligen Kind sprechen. Ergibt sich eine Situation, in welcher beispielsweise das Kind mit der Mutter kommunizieren will, so braucht es lediglich die Linienwahltaste 11 bzw. 11a zu betätigen, worauf gemass Fig. 1 die fix einprogrammierte Nummer der Gegenstation, in Fig. 4 wiederum mit AAA bezeichnet, angewählt wird und darnach die Kommunikationsverbindung mit der Gegenstation Z erstellt ist. Wie ersichtlich, wird bei der Gegenstation G ein ganz normales Telefongerät eingesetzt mit Freiwahlmöglichkeit, während an der Peripherie erfindungsgemässe Geräte eingesetzt werden, welche lediglich die Nummer der Gegenstation G anwählen können, und dies durch eine einfache Auslöse-Bedienung.4 schematically shows the communication structure in which two peripheral devices P 1 2 according to the invention, for example of the two children, are called by the desired remote station G, for example the mother, with the respective device identification number corresponding to 7 of FIG. 1 stored on the device according to the invention can be. Then the remote station G, such as the mother, can speak to the respective child. If a situation arises in which, for example, the child wants to communicate with the mother, all that is required is to press the line selection button 11 or 11a, whereupon the fixed number of the remote station programmed in accordance with FIG. 1, again designated with AAA in FIG. 4, is selected and then the communication connection with the remote station Z is established. As can be seen, a completely normal telephone device is used with the remote station G, with free choice, while devices according to the invention are used on the periphery, which can only dial the number of the remote station G, and this by a simple triggering operation.
Gemass Fig. 5 wird am bevorzugten Gerät gemass Fig. 2 die Kommunation erst über ein dem PIN-Code entsprechendes Signal mit einer Zentrale Z erstellt, die, dem PIN-Code entspre- chend, die Verbindung mit der abgesprochenen Gegenstation G erstellt. Umgekehrt vermittelt die Zentrale Z bei Identifikation des PIN-Codes von einer anrufenden Gegenstation G die Kommunikation mit dem mittels PIN-Code identifizierten erfin- dungsgemässen Gerät. Wie gestrichelt dargestellt, werden den einzelnen PIN-Codes an der Zentrale Z die abgesprochenen Gegenstation G zugeordnet. Selbstverständlich können dabei für an ein erfindungsgemässes Gerät gerichtete Gespräche mehrere Gegenstationen G berechtigt sein, während bevorzugterweise von einem erfindungsgemässen Gerät bzw. PIN-Code nur eine Gegenstation als Empfängerstation identifiziert wird.According to FIG. 5, the communication on the preferred device according to FIG. 2 is only established via a signal corresponding to the PIN code with a center Z which corresponds to the PIN code. accordingly, the connection with the agreed remote station G is established. Conversely, when the PIN code is identified by a calling remote station G, the central station Z communicates with the device according to the invention identified by means of the PIN code. As shown in dashed lines, the individual PIN codes at the central station Z are assigned the counterpart station G which has been agreed. Of course, a plurality of remote stations G can be authorized for calls directed to a device according to the invention, while preferably only one remote station is identified as a receiver station by a device or PIN code according to the invention.
