description of related art
Under the promotion of Next Generation Wireless Technology, cellular network can provide the access to the information from internet to user, for example video request program of described information, video conference, database etc.Therefore cellular use is no longer limited to voice transfer.
But, send internet content by cell phone and still exist some problems.For example,, even if the delay that still exists bottleneck and caused by internet itself between internet and cellular network (CN) is provided high bandwidth connection at advanced cellular system.This situation has hindered cellular telephone subscribers utilizes the ability of the performance of advanced CN fully.Because level and smooth and active data stream is important for user, so having hindered employing cell phone, this bottleneck carries out access to the Internet.
Producing the request of payment is another demand field.Although increasing individuality has been got used to on-line purchase goods and services, does not still have concise with the consistent mechanism for producing safely the request to this payment.
Another demand field relates to alarm.The position that comprises house, office and other environment usually comprises calculation element and at least network connection of certain form.Although there is such connectedness, exist still disabled some situation of suitable alarm.For example, billions of children wear diaper, and nearly 1/4th may suffer the impact of wet diaper at any given time in them, this is for example, because caretaker (father and mother, nurse etc.) is not notified child's diaper state in real time.
Therefore, also exist the demand to such system and corresponding equipment and process, it has eliminated the shortcoming for sending the existing network of internet content by use CN.Also exist the system for generation of payment request and the demand of relevant art.Also exist such system and the demand of relevant art, it is for sending alarm to the individuality such as the care-giver that the children that wear diaper are looked after.
Execution platform and the function of hand held mobile terminals (for example cell phone, personal digital assistant (PDA)) are developing rapidly.We be sure of that most of functions that personal computer (for example desktop computer or notebook) provides are realized by hand held mobile terminals the most at last, and this will make user can transmit and use multimedia messages with any place at any time.
For example, a benefit that cry is the highest of future generation and that more the wireless communication system in forward position (being 3G, 4G etc.) brings is to support, outside conventional voice service, can also to support high-speed multimedia data, services.In conventional cellular system, mobile terminal is with wireless mode and base station communication.Multimedia messages is sent by different service providers, and received to show on the screen of mobile terminal, and these multimedia messagess include but not limited to TV signal, 3D rendering, online game and video telephone etc.The final result of this system be use such as cell phone (etc.) the small screen can show abundant multimedia messages.

Embodiment
In the following description, for illustrative purposes, stated many details, for example flow chart and system configuration are to provide the understanding to one or more embodiment of the present invention.But, it is apparent that for those skilled in the art these details be not put into practice essential to the invention.
According to an aspect of the present invention, associated with definite position phone user's request and access the Internet content.Providing according to position of internet content customizes, and provides in the network of a series of local customs.Given local network comprises server, and described server is configured to comprise the content of the position that is suitable for it.Sending of content is by home base stations, realizes to user's cell phone from the particular home network of configuration after this manner.
For example,, in the time detecting that phone user approaches area, Hollywood, about the information of Hollywood can visit by one or more cellular network base station in area, Hollywood.The internet content relevant with this area sent in these base stations, for example, about film and movie star's website.This internet content is stored in and covers in the server that the base station of this area can access easily so that the phone user in this service area provides faster and transmission more efficiently.
By for wireless network user, the position of internet content being optimized, the present invention has realized optimal data stream and has accessed various abundant informations and the data from internet for phone user.
Fig. 1 is explanation according to the block diagram that is configured to provide the system 100 that internet content sends of the present invention.The fundamental of system 100 is subscriber equipment (UE) 110, Radio Access Network (RAN) 120, core cellular network (CCN) 130, external network (EN) 140 and local custom network (LCN) 150.
UE110 is configured to the cell phone that communicates with one or more base stations of RAN120.Although UE110 is cell phone preferably, should be appreciated that, various device can be equipped with identical communication function.Other examples of UE110 comprise personal digital assistant (PDA), Set Top Box, information station or are configured to have any personal computing device of wireless communication ability.
RAN120 and CCN130 preferably realize the conventional element of cellular network and are further described as follows.RAN120 comprises base station and radio network controller (RNC) element.Base station provides resource management, and is provided for changing the interface of the data flow between UE110 and RNC.RNC is controlling the Radio Resource of the base station that it is connected to, and is managing the connection of arriving UE110.
CCN130 is connected with EN140.The most important example of EN140 can be divided into two kinds: circuit switching (CS) 142 networks and packet switching (PS) 144 networks.The circuit switching that CS142 network is provided for circuit-switched service connects, for example telephone communication and ISDN.PS144 network is provided for the connection of packet data service.Internet is the very important and famous application of PS network.
CCN130 comprises MSC/VLR, GMSC, HLR, SGSN and GGSN element.HLR (attaching position register) is the database of storing the information such as customer service profile.Service profile comprises information, and described information comprises the service of allowing, random zone, forwarding number etc.HLR storing UE110 position so that will call out and other information routers to UE110.
MSC/VLR (mobile services switching centre and Visited Location Registor) provides swap operation and database for carrying out circuit switching (CS) business to the UE that is positioned at current location respectively.VLR is user's service profile, and is stored in service system about the more accurate information of UE position.CS connects by GMSC (gateway MSC), and GMSC is the switch that is positioned at the tie point of outside CS network.
SGSN (service GPRS (GPRS) support node) function class is similar to the function of MSC/VLR, but is usually used to packet switching (PS) business.PS connects by GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node).
LCN150 comprises one or more calculation elements, and described calculation element is configured to comprise that memory, working ability and interface are to provide function described herein.LCN150 comprises the home server that is configured to provide customization internet content.LCN150 is also configured to comprise that access to content monitors module, and described access to content monitors module monitors access to the Internet and determines the content of the assigned address that is applicable to LCN150.
Therefore LCN150 carries out supervision and the high-speed cache that the content applicable to this locality is relevant.With regard to function for monitoring, monitor and comprise local IP access, it determines that the user who is positioned at this position accesses those contents.With regard to caching function, LCN150 keeps the high-speed cache of local applicable internet content, and it comprises and refreshes to add new content and remove the outmoded content that the information by deriving from function for monitoring is determined.
For determining whether content is that the local a kind of technology being suitable for is to measure access frequency.Determine to access specific internet content if be positioned at many users of this position, this specific internet content is just determined to be that this locality is suitable for and is comprised in high-speed cache at next reproducting periods so.
Except the applicable content in this locality is monitored and high-speed cache, LCN150 is configured to logically close to the base station (one or more) of cellular network that is positioned at ad-hoc location.In an example, approaching is in logic by LCN150 for example, is realized close to relevant one or more base stations (base station in same geographical area) physically.For example, LCN150 can be positioned at the region of definite postal region numbering (one or more) of metropolitan areas or covering metropolitan areas.Alternatively, approach in logic and can contiguous without physics in the situation that, realize.For example, this can realize by the private resource that provides the high bandwidth comprising between LCN150 and local user to connect.In this example, LCN150 is configured to more efficiently and rapidly send due to private resource local applicable content contiguous without physics in the situation that.
According to another aspect, for further raising the efficiency, the content applicable for this locality of given LCN is organized in hierarchy.The content of ground floor is considered to have the content of the applicability of high this locality.Also provide extra play according to ground floor, layer in succession little by little covers larger geographic area (, little by little covering the base station of greater number).According to an aspect, this layering relates to and the communicating by letter of adjacent LCN that covers the region increasing, to determine the local content that is applicable to additional level.Therefore, for example, ground floor (is for example suitable for content with this locality that is positioned at first level granularity, as being only that LCN or small-sized local LCN group monitor/determine) correspondence, the second layer (is for example suitable for content with this locality that is positioned at second level granularity, the logic of the content of frequent access in the larger regional extent that monitors to determine in the access of the some LCN by the larger region limiting " and " or occur simultaneously) correspondence, etc.
Therefore the flow chart simultaneously seeing figures.1.and.2 is described the operation of the system for upgrading LCN.The internet content that this process starts from the user's access to current location monitors 202.This is by the gateway of the connection between supervision CCN140 and PS144 network so that the internet content that tracking phone user accesses is realized.
Should be noted that, the content of supervision can have two useful purposes.A kind of is to regulate sending of local applicable content, and this can be determined by the access frequency of given position.Another kind is to allow the supplier (for example businessman or other commercial entity) of content to receive such instruction: those contents are local being suitable for.This allows the supplier of content to help or further participates in determining what is local being suitable for.For example, the businessman who is provided with the instruction of the local applicability of some content may wish to make the user of this scope can obtain advertisement, coupon etc.
Together with this supervision 202, make definite (one or more) 204 of the base station (one or more) to request internet content.This can be by checking that VLR and HLR are to find that internet content request is sent to the base station of passing through to be carried out.Should be noted that, it is only a kind of mode that can determine physical location that base station is found.Other example is including, but not limited to determining by GPS, postcode, telephone number and IP address information.
Next step comprises according to the supervision 202 to base station (one or more) and determines that (one or more) 204 determine 206 local applicable contents.The definite of local applicability carries out by definite access frequency.Alternatively, local applicability can be by comparing the position of asking user (base station) to determine with the position that is identified as being associated with asked content.
Then, for example,, for current (first) layer, content is loaded 208 logically in the server close to the user of given position.This current (for example first) stratum server (one or more) that can be loaded with internet content and/or other information/data by layout completes to realize optimum and transfer of data faster for phone user is stored in data in described server by base stations.For example, described server can logically be placed near base station, and wherein phone user visits the data that are stored in one or more servers by described base station.
This process is according to requiring to repeat by multiple layers.If determine that 210 extra plays will be updated, step 202-208 is just performed to load next 212 (for example second) stratum server (one or more) by the applicable content in this locality so.As described, in the time that layer increases, this preferably needs more wide geographic area.This process is proceeded until determine 210: not more layer need to be determined and load.To change according to application and according to requiring to the number of the layer in fixed system.Layering usually relates to the local available content of maximization and generation and management for the balance between the required processing resource of the layer in day by day wide region.
The content that deposits one or more base stations in can or trigger and refresh 214 according to the timetable of any expectation.For refresh operation, above-described process repeats, and again starts with ground floor.Outmoded interior being perhaps otherwise defined as is no longer that local applicable content can be removed, and certainly during the refresh cycle, can increase new content.
Extra server can longitudinally and/or laterally be increased according to requiring.Longitudinally refer to and can increase server to cover first, second, third, etc. layer at given physical location.Laterally refer to and increase the different server group corresponding from different positions (that is, a group is for ground floor, and second group is used for the second layer, etc.).
The activity of regular timetable or some can be used in and triggers refreshing of layering.The discovery content that internet content in LCN150 server upgrades according to the request to internet content that should send from base station is modified.The internet content being stored in server refreshes at reasonable time, for example, in the time that server does not have the user of accessed content to flood.
Server be therefore loaded for broadcast and/or the information of multileaving and/or any data that will be accessed by phone user to be implemented to user's the optimal transmission of service area.
Local applicable content can be sent out and be delivered to user as requested.The example that is used for the communication path that sends local applicable internet content comprises the relatively directly path by RAN120, follows the path by RAN120 by CCN130, or other.
Various technology can be used from and realize by the applicable content in this locality of LCN150 high-speed cache the request one of internet content together with UE110 (or other equipment) user.In an example, UE110 impels the content in the applicable content in this locality is carried out to initial inspection the request of internet content, succeeded by conventional access to the Internet, if described content proves the content lacking in the applicable content in this locality of current high-speed cache.In addition, according to the method for above-described layering, can attempt for the first time meeting request from ground floor, succeeded by the second layer, etc.The number of plies of searching in response to specific request can change according to requiring.When specify the searched number of plies to use up for current request, conventional access to the Internet is used to the content that retrieval is relevant to this request.
Various cache managements and network optimization technology can be for managing local applicable content.For example, complete association (FA), directly mapping (DM) and set associative (SA) mechanism are to be used to determine that particular content can be stored in the example of the technology where on server.In addition, can also use for guaranteeing piece validity and for managing cache hit and miss technology.Random, LRU (least-recently-used) and FIFO (first in first out) piece alternative are those schemes that can be used to the piece in management of cache.
According to another aspect, the present invention has promoted the system scheme for mobile payment (or reception of the transmission of other information and the information such as alarm).Preferably, this respect of the present invention has been realized cellular network, Wireless Personal Network (WPAN) and wireless recognition technique.Various technology can be used to these parts, include but not limited to the 3G technology for cellular network; For Zigbee, Bluetooth or the UWB technology of WPAN; And for example, for the RFID (NFC) of wireless recognition technique.
Fig. 3 explanation realizes the example of the system 300 of this respect of the present invention.System 300 comprises subscriber equipment (for example cell phone, PDA etc.) 310 and wireless HUB320, and it for example, is connected to server 330 by network 340 (internet).
Wireless HUB (WHUB) 320 can be positioned at public or private position.For public position, WHUB320 is preferably placed in information station.Information station can be positioned on street, or airport, shopping mall or any position of being awared easily and may comprising user's traffic.For private position, WHUB320 is preferably configured to use in the position such as house or hotel room.In these environment, WHUB320 may be provided in less equipment, a part for for example Set Top Box (STB).
Hand-held set 310 is equipped with the label that unique identifier is provided, and described unique identifier can wirelessly be passed to WHUB320.Preferred label is near-field communication (NFC) label 312.NFC provides short-range wireless connectivity, and it uses magnetic field induction to realize the communication between equipment.It has the short distance of several centimetres, and this is considered to the application of this respect of the present invention is favourable.Although NFC is preferred, RFID or other substitute and also can be provided.Hand-held set 310 also comprises WPAN transceiver 314, and described WPAN transceiver 314 allows the extra communication channel between hand-held set and WHUB320.
Similarly, wireless WHUB320 is equipped with NFC reader 322, WPAN transceiver 324 and network adapter 326.NFC technology provides checking and the exchanges data of safety automation between NFC label and NFC reader.According to this aspect of the invention, NFC is associated uniquely with other information that allow suitably action (payment, alarm etc.) to occur.For example, be used for providing mobile payment part in system, RFID label is associated with user's bank account.In addition, once equipment be verified by unique identifier to there is more the second secure communication channel of multi-capacity and be just established between hand-held set 310 and WHUB320.This allows action request and relevant communication between two equipment, to be transmitted reliably.
Therefore,, once the checking based on NFC completes, the safe wireless connection between hand-held set 310 and WHUB320 is just established.This communication can realize WPAN transceiver, and compared with NFC, described WPAN transceiver has higher data rate and longer working range.Secure communication allows the additional information that will send between hand-held set 310 and WHUB320 that exchange is relevant to action, for example, for buying price and credit card information and the corresponding payment scheme of request.Secure communication can for example, for example, realize by hardware (proprietary hardware chip group) and software (DEA).
WHUB320 can also with other WPAN equipment 350 swap datas.This communicates to exchange with moving relevant information for WHUB320 and these equipment 340 may be useful.For example, WHUB320 can collect water consumption information from the water meter that is equipped with WPAN equipment 340 functions.These data can be stored in this locality by WHUB320, or can connect 350 by network and be sent to suitable server 330.WHUB320 collects data not necessarily to be needed to occur with the action of user's request simultaneously.For example, the acquisition of water consumption information and transmission can regularly occur, and are separated with user's request of carrying out respective pay.
Be to be further noted that WHUB320 can optionally dispose wireless communication ability, for example, be provided in the ability in cell phone.Therefore WHUB320 can be configured to and as above together with the system of sending local applicable internet content of Fig. 1 and 2 description, works.
Fig. 4 has further illustrated and provides according to the present invention the example of the payment process 400 of this respect.Process 400 starts from verifying 402 processes, and described checking 402 processes provide resolution and the identification to hand-held set by wireless WHUB via NFC label.

According to another aspect, the invention provides the radio management to the corresponding alarm of task.Such a task is diaper management, and it will be described in more detail below.
This respect of the present invention provides task management according to wireless the sending of alarm, estimates any problem when having needed to overcome.These tasks based on alarm are managed including, but not limited to diaper.For example, can also provide house safety to monitor.
Fig. 5 has illustrated according to the example of diaper management system 510 of the present invention.Diaper management system 500 comprises diaper situation induction module 510 and central receiver/controller (CRC) 520.CRC520 works on conventional treatment platform, and is configured to carry out radio communication with diaper situation induction module 510.CRC520 also comprises network interface.Wireless and/or network interface is realized the transmission of the suitable alarm to care-giver.
Diaper situation induction module 510 comprises transducer 512 and transmitter 514.Transducer 512 is configured to monitor following one or more situation, and its result instruction diaper is whether to wet:
1. weight-the urine of diaper or ight soil make diaper than dry clean diaper weight;
2. the electricity of urine is led;
3. the gas of the chemical property-volatilization of urine comprises that volatile acid or ammonia, pH, amylase, ketoboidies and/or urobilinogen can be detected and analyze to determine whether existing of urine;
4. ight soil: solid waste; Bilirubin in ight soil, or stercobilinogen; Concrete food decomposed substance comprises starch, fat, string, meat fiber etc.; And/or
5. undesirable any other element, feature, characteristic and reflection on baby' diaper.
Transducer 512 causes that transmitter 514 sets up radio communication channel between itself and CRC520.Transmitter 514 sends a signal to notify to CRC520: diaper wets.This radio communication channel preferably uses wireless technology, for example UWB, Bluetooth, RFID, spread spectrum communication or other conventional wireless communication technologys.
Each transducer 512 preferably has unique ID.Multiple access mechanism, for example TDMA, CDMA, FDMA or other conventional method can also be applied to allowing central receiver and the multiple transducers that are positioned at identical sources to communicate.Consider the rival demand of working range, data rate and cost, it is believed that Zigbee/Bluetooth may be useful for many application.
After CRC520 receives signal, receiver triggers sound, light, word and/or other the instruction to diaper state.These instructions can be shown by different way by loud speaker, phone, beep-pager, alarm, computer etc., broadcast, reflection etc. to be to notify care-giver (one or more) to make them can improve state.
Diaper situation induction module 510 can be provided by different way.An example uses detector to be connected to diaper, and described detector is measured for desired standard as mentioned above and as shown in Figure 5.
Another example provides diaper situation induction module 510 in diaper.In this example, transducer 512 also comprises the interface (detector) for measuring the desired standard within diaper scope.Transmitter 514 can use the various communication technology as above.For RFID embodiment, for example, in the time that diaper situation (wetting) is detected by transducer, can provide described function by making the loop of RFID label of RFID label change closed loop into from open loop, it automatically makes ID label be responded to by the label reader of CRC.
Further, diaper situation induction module 510 can be placed in diaper inside and can be reused in this example.Diaper can be configured with pouch etc. to allow to place diaper situation induction module 510.In another is selected, diaper situation induction module 510 is as each diaper necessary component and manufactured and sell, so that care-giver is in the placement that at every turn more needn't close core module 510 when changing babies' napkin.
Except helping care-giver aspect individual children's diaper, diaper management system can be configured to manage troop of children's diaper, for example, wherein have many children may wear preschool class or the day care facility of diaper.The example of this system 600 is shown in Figure 6.CRC620 is configured to the children of the new diaper of difference needs and does not need the children of new diaper, and sends message to suitable care-giver respectively.In order to realize this function, CRC620 is equipped with database, and described database is associated the unique identifier corresponding with each diaper situation induction module 610a-g with at least one correspondent party.Interchangeable communication path (voice, Email etc.), multiple contact person (caregiver#_1, caregiver#_2), and various other information can be associated with the given diaper situation induction module 610a-i in database.
Except the status alarm about diaper situation is provided, CRC620 is also by using wireless location technology (including but not limited to the angle of arrival, the time of advent and received signal strength indicator) to determine the position of diaper.This has also realized: to specifying care-giver that the information of children's dirty about diaper position is provided.
Fig. 7 illustrates according to of the present invention for send the flow chart of the process 700 of care-giver's alarm according to diaper situation.Process 700 is from DCSM sensor monitoring 702 diaper situations.In the time that diaper situation changes, for example, when it is while being wet, DCSM transducer detects the diaper situation of upgrading.In the time that this occurs, diaper status update is sent 7045CRC by DCSM transmitter.CRC receives 706 and upgrades and corresponding instruction.Many situations can be updated, and therefore DCSM and CRC are configured to transmit these situations.Once be provided with renewal, CRC just proceeds to the position of estimation (for example wetting) diaper.DCSM sends and upgrades corresponding ID, described ID identification diaper/child.Its database of CRC inquiry, and therefore mate 708 with upgrade corresponding ID to repair care-giver's alarm (one or more).Like this, then these alarms are sent out 710 to care-giver (one or more).
In the situation that having multiple child/diapers to be monitored, the alarm that CRC provides can be reached the PC with display screen, and described display screen has the estimated position of map and the wet diaper in one or more rooms.The alarm that other CRC provides can only be notified about diaper state to one or more auxiliary care-givers, and does not notify position, so that one or more auxiliary care-giver can be apprised of described state.CRC can also carry out poll to DCSM after section in preset time and be updated to guarantee diaper situation.CRC can configure with configuration setting, and described configuration arranges and allows care-giver's appointment when and how to upgrade them.For example, if a care-giver is the nurse who looks after the children, in the time that child father and mother go out, these father and mother can be configured to CRC be detected at first time being wet and do not send alarm to them at diaper, until through regular hour section.Compare, nurse's alarm just can be provided immediately.If past certain hour section and diaper remain wet, therefore CRC can notify diaper situation to father and mother, and father and mother will recognize that diaper is not also replaced like this.
Fig. 8 is piece and the occurrence diagram that explanation realizes the example of the system 800 of some aspects of the present invention as above.System 800 comprises UE802, WHUB804, authorization server 806, base station (one or more) 808, LCN server (one or more), 810 and DCSM812, and these provide respectively as above for having the function of part of same names.

Fig. 9 is the schematic diagram that explanation has the example of the system 900 of mobile emphasis signal conversion.
By the conversion to mobile terminal signal, can use the high-speed data-flow multimedia messages in display device display radio communication environment.This function can make us really realize and enjoyment makes multimedia bring our amusement and benefit.
Give an example, by adopting so-called cellular technology of future generation (3G and 4G), can provide multimedia messages for mobile radio terminal.This technology can be used to transmitting multimedia information (for example abundant image, real-time Voice & Video).But because relative too little screen and earphone mass deficiency, in many application, those originally can bring the high-quality multimedia messages of enough definition and satisfaction all can not be moved terminal by next generation communication technology fully to reproduce.According to embodiments of the invention, by the conversion of the signal to mobile terminal reception, just can use interchangeable multimedia display terminal, include but not limited to that display, television set, projecting apparatus or LCD display have realized these purposes.These display devices have the ability significantly better than the reproduction Audio and Video of mobile terminal conventionally.And, their use be the power supply separating with mobile terminal.
Besides system 900 set forth in fig. 9, multimedia messages can be provided by any amount of service provider (code name 902a-b in figure), and can be transferred to base station 906 by network 904, then after relevant treatment, is transferred to cell phone 908.System 900 is an example just, and we should understand, can transferring voice and/or data to any traditional of mobile terminal with the technology of exploitation can be applicable to the present invention.These wireless communication systems include, but are not limited to cellular communication system and WLAN (wireless local area network).
Equally, although we set forth is typical outer display system 914, it can have multiple variation and different forms.It can be digital or simulation.The example of digital system comprises HDTV, LCD and plasma display panel device.Analogue system comprises television set (standard of realization is NTSC, PAL, SECAM) and simulation computer display (SVGA, VGA).Outer display system 914 can not resemble the restriction that is subject to display screen size mobile terminal 908, also preferably can be independently-powered.
In the description of specific embodiment, mobile terminal signal converting unit (MTSCM) 912 is set to independently equipment 910, outside mobile terminal 908.
The practicality of MTSCM912 is had more in depth and set forth, referring to the existing annotation of Fig. 9 and flow process Figure 12.
MTSCM912 processing signals, can be reproduced by external device.As described in front (step 402), multi-media signal is transferred to cell phone 908 by cordless communication network.Multi-media signal can comprise the visual information of reproducing by mobile terminal 908 display screens.Explain for convenient, described the processing to vision signal at this, what be to be understood that the present invention changes can be any multimedia messages or its certain part.
Cell phone 908 is connected to MTSCM910.It can be the cable connection that cell phone 908 is connected to MTSCM912 equipment 910.Connect by this, MTSCM912 is from cell phone 908 receiving video signals (step 1204).The vision signal of this reception can be by suitable processing to adapt to cell phone 908 screen displays.It is the example that cell phone 908 is connected with MTSCM912 that above-mentioned cable connects.The example of another wired connection is, without cable, but both connected by the mode of seat.Wireless connections can be also a kind of connected modes, although it can adapt to like that the potential demand of high data stream transmitting and be not as more feasible as that it because do not resemble wired connection.Wireless connections can be realized by the existing communication technology, include but not limited to that bluetooth connects.
MTSCM912 processes vision signal so that the vision signal through conversion to be provided, and sort signal has the display format and/or the signal strength signal intensity (step 1206) that are applicable to the interchangeable display terminal 914 of cell phone 908.The display format of this display terminal 914 and/or signal strength signal intensity can be from cell phone 908 different, but they also can have the embodiment of same format.Even but form is identical, the signal conversion of display terminal (code name 914 in figure) still needs to be adjusted, and to reach the intensity that can drive display terminal, and reduces as much as possible the demand of throughput.This signal conversion can further be set forth in the explanation of following Figure 11.
Referring again to Fig. 9 and Figure 13, after signal conversion, MTSCM912 provides the optical signal of having changed to outer display terminal 914, to adapt to this visual information (step 1208) of screen display by display terminal 914.This can realize by the connection of the MTSCM912 equipment 910 shown in figure and outer display terminal 914.
Here, mobile terminal comprises typical handheld mobile device, comprises cell phone and personal digital assistant.Although these equipment comprise the execution platform that can carry out input and Presentation Function, they distinguish over is not the desktop designing easy to carry and desktop personal computer.
Figure 10 is a block diagram, description be the module according to MTSCM1000 of the present invention, MTSCM1000 can provide by software, firmware, hardware and their combination in any.
When MTSCM1000 is when providing with software, it is to operate carrying out in platform environment.That is to say, MTSCM1000 comprises and being stored in memory so that the instruction that processor is carried out.Any traditional maybe the execution platform of exploitation can being used.Here just no longer many interpretation process device, memory and relevant equipment, as these concepts as you know of power supply unit.In addition, Figure 10 has described the unit that MTSCM1000 decomposes step by step.We should know that the practicality of the resolving cell of MTSCM1000 in this figure and function can change to some extent, and its name can be larger, less or have different names.
In addition, although listed unit is all a public domain in figure, in practicality, can be completed by parts different in system, system comprise mobile terminal, display device and in-built MTSCM and be connected mobile terminal and display device in the middle of arrange.Can say in addition, the general function of MTSCM can separate, and realizes respectively or independently general function by mobile terminal, independent middle setting and/or these parts of display device.
MTSCM1000 also can chip form provide, can be positioned in mobile terminal, also can be used as discrete special signal conversion equipment, or be placed in display terminal, in order to above-mentioned mobile terminal signal translation function to be provided.
MTSCM1000 comprises mobile terminal interface unit 1002, signal conversion unit 1004 and external device interface unit 1006.
Mobile terminal interface unit 1002 can be from mobile terminal or the direct receiving multimedia information of cordless communication network.Traditional physical interface provides the connection between MTSCM1000 and mobile terminal, makes signal flow to MTSCM1000.Multimedia messages is identified and stored in mobile terminal interface unit 1002, then by remaining cell processing.Buffering and similarly operation can be used for carrying out following storage and signal processing.
Signal conversion unit 1004 communicates with mobile terminal interface unit 1002, the multimedia messages that access processing receive thus.Signal conversion unit 1004 identifies the form of multi-media signal, and is processed into the signal through conversion.Signal through conversion can have different form and the signal power strength used from mobile terminal, and one or more external devices that can adapt to be connected with MTSCM1000.The various dissimilar external device being connected with MTSCM1000 has been described below in conjunction with Figure 11.
External device interface 1006 communicates with signal conversion unit 1004, obtains thus the signal through conversion.External device interface 1006 also can for example, be connected with external device (display device).External device interface 1006 both can provide the signal through conversion to external device, also can drive external device.Or external device interface 1006 also can be only provide the signal through conversion to external device, and install in addition the device that has built-in driver element and can drive reproductions (for example demonstration) signal.
Figure 11 is a block diagram, has described another example of MTSCM1100.MTSCM1100 has comprised the more details about signal conversion aspect, and has described the example of different types of outer display device, and these equipment provide the signal through conversion by MTSCM1100.These are described and corresponding explanation example shows.Although described a large amount of connected modes, the present invention both may comprise these all connected modes in practice, also can only have wherein one or more; And comprise do not enumerate here but relate to equally the connected mode of this civilian content.
MTSCM1100 comprises the interface/buffer unit 1102 similar with above-mentioned mobile terminal interface unit.For adapting to the demand (for example, with fully buffering and handling rate provide real time audio frequency/videofrequency) of user to multi-media signal output, the function that configures buffering and receive with remaining part, with the needs of adaptation signal transmission.Mobile terminal video compressed format can have multiple variation, but at present the most frequently used be MPEG-1 or MPEG-2.Buffering and throughput also can be realized according to designer's idea.Although 1300Mb or higher buffer can be realized, generally acknowledge that at present 1000Mb is more suitable buffering specification.The throughput of about 10Gb/s is more applicable to current system in addition, but can be as required or the technical requirement relating to and improving.
Video compress decoder 1104a is used for multimedia signal receiving.Multimedia messages meets the demand of the signal transfer rate increasing conventionally in the mode of compression.One of mpeg standard (for example MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4) is just to provide the example of this compressibility.Video compress decoder 1104a is configured to comprise suitable compression and decompression (CODEC) unit, the multi-media signal that decompresses and receive.For example, in the time that compression scheme adopts MPEG, what video compress decoder 1104a used is that MPEG CODEC processes such multi-media signal.
As another selectable mode that video compress decoder 1104a is provided in MTSCM1100, above-mentioned functions also can provide in cell phone or other mobile terminal.But the difficulty of this scheme is, the high bandwidth that between cell phone and MTSCM1100, Propagation solution compressed information needs, correspondingly, MTSCM1100 needs larger pooling feature.
Video compress decoder 1104a outputs to digital-to-analog video encoder (DAVE) 1104b and/or numeral/digital video code DDVE1104c the digital multimedia signal decompressing.Digital-to-analog video encoder DAVE1104b provides signal to analog display terminals 1120; Numeral/digital video code DDVE1104c provides signal to the outer display terminal 1122 of numeral.Digital-to-analog video encoder DAVE1104b and numeral/digital video code DDVE1104c receive respectively the multi-media signal of decompression, and these signals are converted to required form and the signal power strength of receiving terminal of interface with it.
The example of the form that analog display terminals 1120 is used comprises listed S-video, RGBHV, RGBS and EIA770.3。Same, numeral/digital video code DDVE1104c provide output, and the standard of use is as DVI, DVI-D, HDMI and IEEE1394.The information being provided respectively by digital-to-analog video encoder DAVE1104b and numeral/digital video code DDVE1104c outputs to terminal via interface 306a-b.Digital-to-analog video encoder DAVE) 1104b can be implemented as the video card of relative set in practice.This video card can be configured to above-mentioned function, includes but not limited to Diamond Stealth S60, ASUS V9400-X or RADEON7000.
Finally, these signals show on display terminal outside according to required specific display type.For example, video data stream can be digital rgb signal, is illustrated in the intensity of different position red, green, blues.Sort signal converts analog signal to by D/A converter.This analog signal of having changed meets the required voltage of standard and form, for example input of cathode-ray tube CRT monitor.This standardized vision signal can drive one group of electron gun, and this group electron gun produces controlled electron stream, to show respectively red, green, blue on CRT screen.This is an example, and in fact the present invention is not limited to certain specific outer Display Technique (for example CRT).
As mentioned above, in one embodiment, MTSCM can separate completely with mobile terminal and outer display terminal, and have respectively and being connected of other facility, complete the whole system configuration that comprises three part hardware (mobile terminal, boxcar, outer display terminal).This configuration can provide good flexibility, can be under the prerequisite of limiting mobile terminal not and outer display terminal manufacturer, and allow the mobile terminal of any standard and/or display terminal and MTSCM farthest coordinate.The possible shortcoming of this configuration is that system needs extra hardware.
Substitute the system that this has three parts, MTSCM both can be arranged in mobile terminal, also can be arranged in display terminal.Figure 13 has described a conversion by MTSCM mobile terminal signal and has been located at the embodiment of system 1300 in mobile terminal 1308.Service provider 1302a, the unit of b network 1304 is with function and give mobile terminal 1308 base stations of transmitting multimedia signal identical with the analogue unit of Fig. 1, does not repeat them here.Same, outer display terminal 1314 can be any one in above-mentioned various ways.
MTSCM1312 provides function same as described above.But MTSCM1312 is a part of mobile terminal 1308, instead of is placed in miscellaneous equipment.In addition, the potential benefit of this system 1300 is that the equipment of any standard can use as outer display terminal 1314, and needn't limit display device manufacturer.In addition, outer display device is connected with mobile terminal 1308 and only needs a simple wired or wireless interface.For example, this means that user need to not carry a heavy converting unit outside cell phone again.
The latent defect of this system 1300 is that the execution platform of mobile terminal 1308 may be designed to only adapt to traditional function, so, MTSCM function is added on existing execution platform and will has very much challenge to some system.In addition, the finite energy that MTSCM can provide the battery that consumes in large quantities mobile terminal (code name 1308 in figure).So be connected with outer display terminal 1314 by cable, and provide energy to have very much actual property to the embodiment of mobile terminal 1308.Same, so change requiring that mobile terminal 1308 is carried out to some, because its existing energy provides port may not enoughly be competent at this function.
Figure 14 is a system diagram, has described another one MTSCM1412 is arranged at the example of the system 1400 in outer display terminal 1414.Identical with Figure 13, service provider 1402a, b network 1404 is identical with the analogue unit in Fig. 9 with practicality with the part of the base station 1406 to mobile terminal 1408 transmitting multimedia information; Do not repeat them here.
At this, mobile terminal 1408 only needs to be directly connected with outer display terminal 1414.But alternative by the function setting of MTSCM1412, the mode in mobile terminal 1408 is, makes it to become a part for display terminal 1414.This system 1400 has solved the problem that MTSCM1414 is positioned over to power supply related in mobile terminal and carries out platform; And any mobile terminal 1408, except a coffret is provided, need not changes separately just and can be connected with any outer display device that has been equipped with MTSCM.The potential shortcoming of this configuration is, on the outer display terminal basis of standard, added again part, and corresponding expense has also increased.
Figure 15 is that a description is according to the embodiment of mobile terminal signal conversion application 1500 of the present invention.These application programs 1500 are described by way of example, can make reader understand the more adaptable possibility situations of the embodiment of the present invention.These application that the present invention is not limited only to list; All possible application is also not limited to the embodiment having described.
Provide the foundation structure of wireless communication signals and corresponding multi-media signal to comprise service provider 1502a described above, b, network 1504, base station 1506, and mobile terminal 1508.MTSCM1510 can, in mobile terminal 1508 or in display terminal 1512, also can separate with it.Need to comprise compared with large-screen with compared with the example of the application of advanced audio 1514 video conference, HDTV, game, GPS, and video request program.In addition, embodiments of the invention provide the place 1516 that multimedia function is enjoyed completely, can comprise motor vehicles, aircraft, hotel and vacation spot etc.For example, thereby the present invention provides the use in motor vehicle, aircraft and any vehicles, makes the passenger can browsing internet, see TV, play games, participate in video conference or carry out video calling, and can apply repertoire and the practicality of the software of all kinds.
