Description

The invention relates to a device pocket for a communication device in the form of a user communication terminal with a monitor, which is designed as a touch-sensitive input terminal, wherein the device pocket adapted to the communication device and this is operatively leaving to sift the monitor and operate.

Device pockets for key-operated communication devices such as mobile phones or the like are basically available and known in various ways. In particular, a device bag is generally known with which a keyboard of a mobile phone, for example, by pressing a incorporated in the device bag slide - although user-friendly - can be operated when the keyboard is a mechanical keyboard. The film forms a kind of window as well as a water protection and allows the pressing or releasing a mechanical button on sight, where a pressure point of the mechanical key of the mechanical keyboard must be felt.

Modern communication devices, in particular telephone communication devices, smartphones, table, tablet or laptop or other such handheld electronic communication devices designed for wireless communication with a communication network regularly no longer have a mechanical keyboard, but at most on a user interface, but not of a mechanical nature is. Such and other modern communication devices routinely have more computer functionality and connectivity than a conventional advanced cellular phone provides. Current smartphones z. B. can be upgraded by additional programs (so-called "apps") by the user individually with new features. A smartphone can also be understood as a small portable computer ("PDA") with additional functionality of a mobile phone. These and other modern communication devices, such as smartphones, laptops, tablet computers or the like multi-purpose electronic handheld devices are operated via a touch-sensitive monitor, usually capacitive functionality, as a control terminal, with a touch-sensitive keyboard or other symbolism - such as an app sympol - is displayed in the monitor. Such input terminals regularly respond to capacity changes in a pixel scale on touch, so often not on pressure, so that the usual for mechanical keyboards device bags are not usable, even with a shape adapted to leave the communication device operable and also to sift the monitor and to use. In particular, the aforementioned device pockets equipped only with viewing window or water-resistant film are not suitable for operating such modern communication devices, since the functionality of a touch-sensitive monitor does not respond or does not respond properly.

Alternatively, device bags are available without window material, which are formed in a frame shape and have an open field with a free exception provided for the Durchgriff, so leave the monitor so directly touchable without the monitor would be covered by a layer of material. On the one hand, the monitor is therefore completely open, operable and unprotected.

Device bags are also known, which allow in any case an audit of the communication device, if this is for example on a table in sight; For example, a bright LED for function display or an acoustic signal can be perceived by the user, while otherwise the window material, the monitor visibly covered and protects. Thus, for example, a network reception status or the receipt of an SMS message or other messages - ie a flashing LED or a ringtone - be perceived by the user. Any further inspection of the monitor of the communication device is denied to the user; In particular, a - even unwanted - operability of the same is prevented.

It is desirable for a sufficient visualization of the function or the status of an intelligent modern communication device of the type mentioned above, so that the monitor of the same for an operator by the user remains sufficiently visible and yet sufficiently protected against external influences and views of others, especially from the side ; namely, even if the communication device is not acutely prepared for operation in an open space, i. H. in particular, if this is introduced in a device bag. Such situations may arise, for example, during a meeting in which the user of the communication device must decide at short notice whether he must respond to an incoming message or an incoming call. For this purpose, it is regularly required that the user of the communication device can not only perceive qualitatively that a status display of the communication device has changed, but he must have a sufficient legitimacy before other protected insight on the input terminal, namely the monitor of the communication device. In addition, the user of the communication device should then be able to operate the communication device sufficiently.

At this point, the invention begins, the object of which is to provide a device bag for a communication device in the form of a user communication terminal, in particular to specify a durable handheld electronic communication device designed for wireless communication with a communication network. The device bag should be adapted to the communication device and this operatively leaving be designed to sift the monitor and operate; in particular for a monitor occupying the device surface, which is designed as a touch-sensitive input terminal. In particular, the device bag should also have a robust outer surface, which nevertheless allows the sensitive operating requirements a reliable protection of the device, for example against shock, dirt, moisture or care.

The object of the invention is also to provide a system of such a communication device with a device bag.

The object with regard to the device bag is achieved by the invention with a device bag of claim 1. The invention also leads to a system of communication device and device bag according to claim 25.

The invention is based on a device pocket that can be closed in a state accommodating the communication device, such that in the closed state the monitor is covered, wherein a device pocket frame made of an opaque frame material of greater thickness has an edge which has at least one area-predominant major surface area, d. H. the largest or at least most important part of the monitor in a communication device receiving state surrounds. The invention further assumes that a device pocket window is fastened in the device pocket frame. According to the invention, it is provided that the translucent viewing material is a sheet of lesser thickness and is further configured to leave the monitor visible and operable in the main surface portion. According to the invention it is further provided that the sheet has an open-meshed textile material having an inside and an outside and at least the outside has a metallic coating.

The invention is based on the first of the consideration that in view of film windows or the like provided for the operation of mechanical keyboards device pockets, the sighting of the input terminal in a modern communication device can be improved. In particular, the invention is based on the consideration that in order to maintain the serviceability of the communication device d. H. With regard to the functionally even possible as well as haptically improved operability of an input terminal, a completely new concept of a device bag has to be specified.

Second, the invention provides that the device pocket window is formed from a fabric of textile material of open-mesh type and small thickness. Only this allows a for the monitor of the communication device, in particular capacitive, perceptible and thus effective and also for the user haptically experienced operation of a visual keyboard or other operating icon on the monitor of the communication device. The open mesh of the textile material allows a sighting of the monitor when operating the visual keyboard or other operating symbol as well as sufficient inspection of the monitor for at least the most important type of function display; d. H. approximately the same as if the monitor were exposed to the user - nevertheless, a view from the side for third parties is denied or severely limited. The open mesh of the textile material is such that it is practically translucent, i. H. an opacity or the like clouding of the monitor image is sufficiently low when the monitor is lit, in order to still have sufficient visibility of the displayed on the input terminal symbols and characters such. B. to allow a visual keyboard. The viewing material has a translucency that is so low light scattering that a sufficient visibility as a prerequisite for the operability of the communication device under review of the monitor is possible.

Third, it is provided according to the invention that the open-meshed textile material has a metallic coating on the outside. It has been shown that the metallic coating provides a superior reliable and safe protection, which is not only abrasion resistant, but also durable against a variety of environmental attacks.

Provided with advantage, the textile material is suitable for attachment to a composite layer, such. B. a film; The composite is then also very well protected against aggressive liquids or dust. An open mesh textile material exhibiting layer composite -. As a back-laminated film and / or a front side thin lacquer layer can be made sufficiently thin for the aforementioned functionality and yet tight against liquid or dust in a development beyond.

Regardless, a metallic outer layer provides a well-balanced feel for the user of the device, which in case of doubt, the communication device in contact with the metallic Outer layer and "felt penetration" on the monitor operated - so far as the metallic outer side as input terminal surface - uses. This represents a substantial functional and haptic improvement of a device bag. The aforementioned advantageous three aspects can not be represented in particular by a mere foil of a device bag.

In addition, it is surprisingly found that the metallic coating on the outside of the open-meshed textile material does not or only slightly impair the functionality of the communication device, in particular not the antenna power or the received power of the communication device. Surprisingly, it has been found that a metallic coating on the outside of the open-meshed textile material does not form an effective Faraday cage. On the one hand is prevented by the open mesh of the textile material - such as threads or yarns in a fabric or fibers in a nonwoven - that eddy currents could form to a sufficient extent. On the other hand, especially in the case of fabrics, the metallic coating on a micro-scale is interrupted at the point of the bend or point of intersection of textile material threads; For that reason alone, despite the metallic coating, a comparatively high electrical resistance prevents eddy currents. As a result, a device bag with a metallically coated device pocket window is made essentially of an open-mesh textile material, in particular a layer composite comprising it, that permits the sighting and operation of the input terminal without impairing the function of the communication device.

Further advantageous developments of the invention can be found in the subclaims and specify in detail advantageous possibilities to realize the above-described concept within the scope of the problem as well as with regard to further advantages.

In particular, in a preferred embodiment, the open mesh textile material is a flat textile fabric of crossed thread systems to form a regular and defined mesh. In particular, a textile material with chain and weft threads and four-sided, in particular rectangular, mesh with defined mesh opening is formed, wherein for forming the outer side, only one side of the flat textile fabric has a metallic coating.

Preferably, the open-meshed textile material may also be a flat textile fleece of randomly arranged fibers with the formation of an irregular, undefined and inhomogeneous mesh, wherein only one side of the flat textile fleece has a metallic coating to form the outside. In particular, a flat textile web is formed with threads of a variety of orientations and lengths; These may have a preferred direction or be arranged confused without preferential direction.

In particular, the open-meshed textile material may also be a flat textile knitted fabric or knitted fabric of yarns, wherein only one side of the flat textile nonwoven fabric has a metallic coating to form the outside.

The textile material may in principle be an open-mesh textile material with a regular and defined mesh type; in particular formed by threads which extend parallel to a side length of the device pocket window. For example, the textile material may have a number of warp and weft threads and thus form a multi-or four-sided mesh with a defined mesh type. For example, a textile material with a yarn or thread diameter between 80 microns and 300 microns, especially 120 microns and 290 microns has proven to be advantageous. In particular, a fabric with average yarn or thread diameter of 140 microns to 280 microns, in particular between 240 microns and 280 microns, and a mesh size between 20% and 40%, z. B. 25% -30%, or with average yarn or thread diameter of 120-160 microns, in particular by 140 microns and a mesh size of 50%, z. B. 40-60%, proved to be advantageous. In particular, a textile material with a yarn or thread diameter of 260 microns and 25% mesh size has been found to be advantageous. Another example which has proven particularly useful is a textile material with 140 μm yarn or thread diameter and a mesh opening of 50% or 55%. Another example is a textile material with 140 μm mesh diameter and 70% mesh.

In particular, a textile material with a yarn or thread diameter of 140 microns and 50% mesh size has been found to be advantageous. Another example is a textile material with 260 μm yarn or thread diameter and a mesh opening of 25% or 30%. Another example is a textile material with 140 μm mesh diameter and 70% mesh. With these or similar values, a particularly good compromise solution between translucency, usability and protection against the intervention of third parties arises.

In addition, a textile material in a variant may also be an open mesh textile material with an irregular and undefined mesh type. This can be a textile, for example Material web be with threads of a variety of orientations and lengths. The threads need not extend from one side of the textile piece of material to the other side, but can and are regularly cut shorter than a side length of the viewing window; So lie with irregular direction and length and mostly bent and slanted in the device pocket window. Also for a textile material of irregular and undefined mesh type, the preferred ranges of inhomogeneous but approximately average mesh size are between 20% and 90%, preferably between 25% and 75%; such average values for nonwoven are on average higher than those of fabrics.

The pocket window of the device bag can basically be designed in size, in order to allow visibility and usability of the monitor even in beginnings. In particular, the edge may be designed to run essentially along an edge of the monitor and to leave it visibly and operable for a total area of the monitor; this best reflects the functionality of the device.

In particular, the translucent viewing material is advantageously formed as a layer composite with at least two layers, which comprises the open-mesh textile material as an outer layer. Particularly simple and effective at the same time in the sense of the task, the translucent viewing material is formed as a layer composite with exactly two layers, wherein an inner layer is formed with a film and an outer layer is formed with the open-meshed textile material. Advantageously, the film is formed as a thermoplastic film. On the film, the open-meshed textile material can be laminated; In principle, this can be dry, or wet, z. B. be laminated with adhesive. The open-meshed textile material is preferably thermocomposed onto a thermoplastic film.

In principle, the textile material type can be realized in different ways to form the open-meshed textile material. Advantageously, a mesh opening of at least 20% is provided to form an open-meshed textile material. This lower limit can be varied as far as the still sufficient light transmission is available for a lighted monitor of the communication device. On the other hand, it has proven to be advantageous that the mesh size is below 85% in order to still be able to ensure adequate protection. As a result, in addition, a mesh size of between 20% and 85% of the fabric results in the device bag being presented in two appearances depending on the operating state of the communication device. In a first appearance, in which the monitor is illuminated, the device pocket window gives the appearance of the monitor with sufficiently low light scattering, i. H. translucent, again. In the unlit state of the monitor, however, the device pocket window even with a direct viewing angle of 90 °, the appearance of a virtually closed at least for immediate inspection area. Against this background, it has proved to be particularly preferred that the translucent viewing material is brighter on the outside than on the inside. It turns out that this comparatively good conditions of a rear projection - in the case of the monitor on the open mesh textile material of the device pocket window - represents. In particular, the outside of the translucent viewing material is lighter than the inside of the translucent viewing material, wherein advantageously the metallic coating on the outside of the open-meshed textile material is lighter than the inside of the open-meshed textile material.

In particular, it is found that the inside can have a further coating, in particular a metallic one. Preferably, the metallic coating is only on the outside of the open-meshed textile material, but may also be on the inside. Preferably, the metallic coating on the outside of another, especially lighter, metallic coating than on the inside. Preferably, the metallic coating is directly on the open-meshed textile material.

In principle, however, it is also possible, and only with a slight reduction in comparison with the aforementioned advantages, that the translucent viewing material, in particular the textile material, is darker on the outside than on the inside. Also, in an alternative, the outside and the inside of the translucent viewing material, in particular of the textile material may be the same color, or held in the same brightness tone. These or similar designs may be due to the simplified manufacturing conditions.

A metallic coating may be a coating with a metal that is selected but not limited to from the group comprising: Al, Cu, Cr, Ti, Au, Sn, Ag, Mo. A coating may also be used with an alloy of two or more of the metals the group take place, in particular, an Al-Cu alloy has proved advantageous. The metallic coating on the outside and / or the inside can be sputtered and / or vapor-deposited. In principle, coatings other than metallic can be applied directly to the open textile material on the inside, for example a plastic-like or lacquer-like coating. Also in the aforementioned cases, it has proven to be advantageous that the translucent viewing material is brighter outside than inside.

Another coating may be formed on the metallic coating on the outside of the open mesh textile material as a clear coat, especially as a clear coat. An inner layer is preferably formed on the inside of the open-meshed textile material as a transparent film, in particular a clear film.

Within the scope of a particularly preferred development, a device bag is provided such that the open-meshed textile material has no further coating on the outside except for the metallic coating directly on the outside of the open-meshed textile material and apart from the directly applied clearcoat. The metallic coating generally carries on the outside preferably an outer protective lacquer, in particular - according to the aforementioned development - so only an outer protective lacquer; in that case, the outer resist is a surface layer.

Preferably, a layer composite may further comprise on the inside of the open-mesh textile material a transparent, in particular additionally colored, inner protective lacquer and / or inner protective foil. Preferably, a metallic, plastic-like or paint-like coating can be provided. In particular, the further coating can be formed directly on an inner side of the open-meshed textile material.

Preferably, the inside of the textile material further comprises a protective layer which completely closes, for example in the form of a film or a further coating. In particular, the protective layer can be applied directly on the inside of the textile material or directly on a further metallic coating on the inside of the textile material. The protective layer is preferably formed as an inner protective lacquer and / or inner protective film, for example a thickness between 100 μm to 1500 μm, in particular between 500 μm to 1000 μm, in particular between 100 μm and 1200 μm or 800 μm and 1200 μm. It has been shown that the operating terminal can be protected particularly effectively by a protective layer of the aforementioned type; In particular, crimping points of the textile material or internal coatings of the textile material can leave no trace on the monitor with a suitably designed inner protective layer.

In particular, it has also proved to be advantageous that the metallic layer on the outside carries an outer protective lacquer. In particular, only an outer protective lacquer can be provided. This can be beneficial to the increased protective effect as well as to a specific coloring. However, preference is given to a clearcoat which brings out the original effect of the metallic coating.

In principle, the outside of the open-meshed textile material can be designed in a color-independent manner from the inside of the open-meshed textile material. In particular, it has proved to be advantageous from the aspect of an improved rear-projection effect that the outside of the open-meshed textile material with the metallic coating on the outside of the open-meshed textile material and / or an outer protective lacquer is lighter than the inside of the open-meshed textile material. Ultimately, this ensures that the translucent viewing material is brighter on the outside than inside. In particular lighter than the inside of the open-mesh textile material with a further metallic coating and / or the inner protective lacquer and / or the inner protective film.

The device pocket is preferably completely closable in a state receiving the communication device. This is to be understood as being able to lock the device bag, which surrounds the communication device on all sides, with the possible exception of interfaces or other physical accesses to the communication device, so that it can also be connected to a peripheral within the device pocket in a state. In particular, the device bag may have a closable flap, tab or the like to show improved all-round protection.

It turns out that a frame can be realized both stable and visually attractive and opaque multi-layer at the same time, in particular at least with a lining and an inner layer, for example an inner leather. In particular, a Außenschickt, such as an outer leather may be provided. The layer thickness of a frame is advantageously between 0.5 mm and 3 mm or more mm. In a variant, it can also be provided that the device pocket frame is formed as a hard shell, for example as a plastic hard shell or with another suitable hard shell material, possibly also a metallic hard shell material.

In one variant, a hard shell material can be used as a frame; In particular, a hard shell material can be made sufficiently thin and flexible to be used as a frame. Nevertheless, the hard shell material preferably has a greater thickness than the device pocket window.

6 three different embodiments of a system of a tablet computer and a device bag with different hinged lids of the views (A), (B), (C).

1 shows a system 1000 from a device bag 100 and a communication device 200 in the form of a user communication terminal; specifically in view (A) is a perspective view of the front 100A and in view (B) is a perspective view of the back 100B a device bag 100 with a handheld electronic communication device adapted for wireless communication with a communications network 200 in the form of a smartphone. The device bag is on the communication device 200 conformed and leaves this operatively. The display 210 of the communication device 200 occupies the vast area of equipment and is designed as a touch-sensitive input terminal. Here is one in the other Fig., But not 1 , recognizable monitor 210 of the smartphone through a pocket window 120 to sift as well as to serve; for example, to operate a touchscreen or touchpad of the monitor 210 under the touch of the pocket window 120 ,

The device bag 100 is in the in 1A and 1B shown communication device 200 to close the receiving state; the device bag holds 100 in the closed state shown here the monitor 210 either with the front pocket window 120A or the back pocket window 120B covered. A device bag frame 110 is made of opaque frame material - here leather; in a modification, another textile material or in another modification a hard shell material is possible - larger thickness with an edge 111 educated. The edge 111 In the present case, it runs essentially along the edge of the monitor 210 if the communication device 200 in the device bag 100 is included. One in the device bag frame 110 attached device pocket window 120 - comprising the front side pocket window 120A and the back pocket window 120B - Is made of translucent viewing material, which has a smaller thickness than the larger thickness of the device bag frame 110 having. As in the present embodiment, the edge 111 essentially the edge of the monitor 210 Aligns is practically the total area of the monitor 210 visible and the monitor 210 can through the device pocket window 120 to be served; in one variant, the edge runs 111 but in any case parallel to the edge of the monitor 210 so that the largest part of the total area of the monitor is visible.

An operation of the monitor 210 is touch-sensitive possible - for example via a capacitive coupling of the monitor via a contact surface of the device pocket window and / or the user - because the translucent viewing material 600 an open mesh textile material 500 having; here in the form of a fabric; preferably in the embodiment according to one of the subclaims, for example as described 4 explained. Two particularly preferred embodiments of the open-mesh textile material 500 as part of a composite layer to form the translucent visual material 600 are in 4 (A) , (B) and (C) are shown.

The translucent visual material 600 causes the interface with the monitor to be small enough not to act otherwise than a fingerprint; On the other hand, the open mesh also causes a haptic feeling, which serves as feedback for the user in order to make it possible for him to experience the touch. This applies even in the event that the layer composite of the translucent visual material 600 next to the open mesh material 500 also an inner foil, z. B. thermoplastic film. Finally, the stitches of the open-meshed textile material 500 open enough for limited but sufficient penetration when pressing a finger or thumb around a control symbol displayed on the monitor touch-sensitive with the finger or thumb itself and / or the material 500 to activate; This is especially true in the case where the pocket window without foil only with the layered open mesh material 500 should be formed.

With reference to 4 also shows the outside of the open-meshed textile material 500 a metallic coating 630 on which makes the outside sufficiently robust against environmental influences and also designed the outside in the form of a metallic surface; on it is an external paint-like coating 640 and an interior paint-like coating 620 applied.

In the 1A shown front side 100A the device bag 100 has a front part of the device bag frame; namely a device pocket frame front 110A and a front edge 111A , In the 1B shown back side 100B the device bag 100 also has a rear part of the device bag frame; namely a device pocket frame back 110B and a backside edge 111B , In addition, the back faces 100B the device bag 100 also called the back pocket window 120B on, which is made of the same, but in any case according to the same principle formed translucent viewing material with an open-mesh textile material; as a result, practically the same functionality as the front pocket window 120A Has. Regardless of how around the communication device 200 in the device bag 100 is introduced, so the visibility and operability of the monitor and the operability of the communication device 200 guaranteed in total. A user can access the communication device or the monitor 210 the same from both the back pocket window 120B as well as over the front pocket window 120A access. Of course, proves a front and back pocket window 120A . 120B also useful if the communication device 200 - here in the form of a smartphone but in principle also in another form - in addition to the operable monitor 210 on the front side 120A also has an operable back or at least a back with function indicators that emit flares; these are then through the back pocket window 120B on the back side 100B the device bag 100 immediately recognizable.

In addition, the device bag points 100 a folding bag 130 on that on the front 130A a recess 131 for a speaker 230 of the smartphone. On the back side 130B the folding bag 130 is a recess 132 provided to a lens 221 and a flash 222 a camera 220 of the smartphone. In the foot area of the equipment bag 100 is a ground boundary 140 namely with a front side stripe 140A and a backside stripe 140B applied. This protects particularly well against shock or friction during the intended or unintentional handling of the device bag 100 , The device bag frame 110 is integral with the front pocket frame 110A , the back pocket frame 110B and a side and bottom side pocket frame 110C - In the form of a frame - formed. This gives the device bag 100 an integral stability even if the communication device 200 not inserted in the device bag. In the present embodiment, the device bag 100 by means of folding pockets 130 except for the aforementioned openings 131 . 132 as well as lateral openings 133 below the folding bag 130 completely closable, so the communication device 200 enclosed on all sides.

2 shows a modified embodiment of a device bag 100 ' , in view (A) in a perspective view of the front 100A and in view (B) in a perspective further rotated view of the front 100A , In both cases there is a communication device 200 in the form of a smartphone in the device bag 100 ' to form a system 1000 ' where the smartphone is above the monitor translucent in view (B) 210 is recognizable; in view (A) of 2 is the monitor 210 of the smartphone unlit and in view (B) of 2 is the monitor 210 illuminated. Exemplary are in five rows of four grouped recognizable icons 210.1 and 210.9 from a number of icons 210.n in this case n = 20 applies.

In other words shows 2 B in that, in the illuminated state, due to the translucent viewing material of the device pocket window 120 - namely present in particular the front pocket window 120A - the system 1000 ' out of equipment bag 100 ' and communication device 200 "Can show two faces"; namely, once the face without illumination of the monitor 210 as it is in 2A is shown and once the face with illuminated monitor 210 as it is in 2 B in the front pocket window 120A the illuminated front 100A is shown. Depending on the functional state of the smartphone, the device bag appears 100 ' with the communication device 200 - in the unlit case of the monitor 210 - As a substantially neutral metallic body due to the open-meshed textile material of the translucent viewing material in the device pocket window 120 or - in the illuminated case of the monitor 210 - with one on the front pocket window 120A recognizable rear projection of the monitor 210 and all controls 210.n because the opacity of the device pocket window 120 is not complete, but rather under low light scattering the controls and indicators 210.n (Icons) of the monitor 210 shine through.

Incidentally, for the same or identical features or features identical or the same function in the present case, the same reference number is used, as with reference to the description of 1 , The following is merely supplementary to the other differences of the device bag 100 ' of the 2 in comparison to the device bag 100 of the 1 received. The main body 150 the device bag 100 ' in the present case is completely made of the open-meshed textile material - here in the form of a fabric; preferably in the embodiment according to one of the subclaims, for example as described 4 explained - is formed with a metallic coating on the outside. The flap 130 is in this case completely closed and under a belt 141 Insertable on the front, with the flap 130 and the band 141 on the back, not shown 100B the device bag 100 ' are attached.
