- an electronic component is integrated, which can determine the time, which can then be shown on the display of the radio device, which is already present.
- the clock integrated in the radio as is customary, for example, from a wristwatch, must be reset according to the time zone of the respective country.
- a lot of signaling information is transmitted for communication via modern radio networks, in particular cellular radio networks which are composed of several radio cells, such as the GSM (Global System For Mobile Communication) system.
- GSM Global System For Mobile Communication
- cellular radio networks especially in cellular radio networks necessary that always the current location area of the radios is determined to incoming calls to the correct radio ⁇ cell to direct.
- Modern radio networks with a uniform transmission standard transmission protocol and unified network parameters bedek- ken not only individual countries but several continents and allow through roaming agreements _ always national network operators worldwide mobile voice and kommu ⁇ communications.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a radio which can display the current local time in the area where the radio is currently located in a simple, comfortable and reliable manner. 2
- the object is achieved by a radio with features according to claim 1. Further training results from the subclaims.
- the invention is therefore based on the idea of determining a current reference time and the current location area and using information on the time difference between the reference time and the local time in the current location area to determine and display the current time in the current location area.
- the reference time can be defined by the current time in a reference stay area, for example the stay area in which the user of the radio is usually located.
- a further development of the invention provides that the time is updated automatically when the location area is changed.
- the term location area is defined differently, for example by different _codes, in accordance with the different transmission standards to which the invention is applied.
- the location area for communication via the GSM system can be defined by the Mobile Country Code MCC and / or the Local Area Code and / or the Local Area Identity LAI.
- the different areas of the home can be 3 before codes corresponding to the transmission standards are defined.
- Another embodiment of the invention provides a radio clock receiver for radio signals that contain information about the current time.
- the reference time and thus also the time to be displayed can be exactly reproduced at least in the minutes and / or seconds range, but also information about the hourly value, the date and / or the day of the week can be used for setting.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a radio
- FIG. 2 shows a means for storing the information about the areas of residence and the corresponding time shifts with respect to a reference area of residence.
- Figure 1 shows a radio apparatus FG consisting of a Consein ⁇ integrated MMI, a controller STE, a processing device VE, a power supply device SVE, a subscriber identity module SIM, a high-frequency part RF, consisting of a receiving device EE and a transmitting means SE, and an antenna device AN.
- a radio apparatus FG consisting of a Consein ⁇ integrated MMI, a controller STE, a processing device VE, a power supply device SVE, a subscriber identity module SIM, a high-frequency part RF, consisting of a receiving device EE and a transmitting means SE, and an antenna device AN.
- a display DPL on which menu items, digits or the time can be shown and means for storing SPE different information, in particular information that is required for a reliable and convenient communication process.
- Information about the current reference time REF_U in the reference stay area REF_AB is determined by means MU for determining the reference time REF_U, for example the current time in a reference stay area REF_AB, which can be realized by a corresponding component, such as a real-time clock.
- the reference stay area REF_AB can be determined, for example, by the stay area AB in which the user is usually located.
- the electronic component MU or the time information REF_U output by it can be set by the user when the radio FG is put into operation for the first time in accordance with the current time in the reference stay area REF_AB.
- the reference time REF_U can also be defined by any other time, for example the greenwhich mean time, but then the time differences ZD between this reference time REF_U and the local times of the different areas AB must be adapted accordingly.
- the means MU for determining the reference time REF_U in a reference stay area REF_AB can also be implemented or supplemented by a radio clock receiver FU E, which also 5 at least in the reference stay area REF_AB or in another stay area AB can receive and process a radio signal that contains information about the current time REF_U in the reference stay area REF_AB or in another current stay area AKT_AB.
- Information about the current reference time REF_U in the reference stay area REF_AB is transmitted by the means MU for determining the reference time to the control device STE of the radio device FG.
- This control device STE can also be integrated in the means MU for determining the reference time REF_U and can be implemented by a microcontroller.
- the microcontroller that is already present in the radio for other purposes can also be used.
- FIG. 2 shows means for storage SPE, which can be implemented by memory modules in which, in the form of a table, information about the different location areas AB and the associated time differences ZD between the time zones or local times LOK_U corresponding to the location areas AB and the time zone of the reference stay.
- area REF_AB or the reference time REF_U are stored.
- the time differences ZD which relate to this other reference time REF_U ZD are stored accordingly.
- the means for storing SPE of this information can also be implemented on the subscriber identification module SIM.
- the different areas AB can be identified by the Mobile Country Code
- the Local Area Identity LAI can also be used for this purpose, which also includes the Local Area Code LAC and the Mobile Country Code MCC.
- radio devices FG so-called multi-mode
- Radio devices FG are conceivable that can communicate according to different transmission standards or the transmission standards of different communication networks such as the GSM system GSM, the DECT system DECT, a WideBand CDMA system WB-CDMA and a satellite system SAT.
- the location areas AB can be described by several different codes MCC (LAC), ABdect, ABwb-cdma, ABgsm, ABsat, which correspond to the respective transmission standards. It is possible that there are areas AB that are not covered by all but only by one or no radio network. However, it should be possible to assign exactly one time zone to each existing area or one covered by a radio network.
- the current location area AKT_AB of the radio devices FG is determined continuously in order to direct incoming connections to the correct radio cell.
- the global radio cell identifier CGI in which the local area identity LAI is contained, is transmitted to the radio devices FG at certain time intervals by means of a base station system.
- the received LAI is stored by the radio devices FG as a code for the current location area AKT_AB in the means for storing SPE.
- the received LAI is continuously compared with the stored LAI. If the two do not match, the radio triggers the location update procedure.
- the control device STE checks whether there is a time difference ZD between the time zone corresponding to the LAI of the reference stay area REF_AB and the time zone corresponding to the LAI of the current stay area AKT_AB.
- the LAI of reference areas where REF_AB can ⁇ example be stored by the user or the network operator in the memory means SPE or on the SIM, in the initial operation of the transceiver FG.
- the current time REF_U in the reference stay area REF_AB is determined by the means MU, and the corresponding time difference ZD, which is read from the storage means SPE, is subtracted or added and the current local time AKT_U determined in this way on the Display DPL shown.
- radio signals such as DCF77 signals, which contain information about the current time, are evaluated by a radio clock receiver FU_E and are used at least to set the minute and second values of the current time. It is possible that this radio signal is only available in certain areas AB or in a certain area such as the reference area REF AB.
- means MU are also provided with which the determination of the date and / or the weekday is at least possible in a reference stay area REF_AB.
- These means MU can also be implemented by an electronic component or a radio clock receiver FU_E.
- a further embodiment variant provides that the means for storing SPE also store information about the time shift ⁇ due to the changeover between summer and winter time SZ / WZ in the corresponding areas AB. For this purpose, the date DAT1, DAT2 on which the changeover takes place is also stored.
- This information can also be stored by the network operator on the SIM before the subscriber identification module SIM is issued to the user.
- optionally permanently stored times such as alarms or wake-up times are changed in accordance with the time difference between the two areas of residence.
