Description

VorbemerkungPreliminary note

Der Begriff "Handy" für alle Arten von Mobil-Telefonen ist, obwohl er englisch klingt, ein in Deutschland erfundenes Kunstwort. Dieses hat inzwischen einen so festen Eingang in unsere Umgangs­ sprache gefunden, dass es auch hier in der Patentanmeldung verwendet werden darf.The term "cell phone" for all types of mobile phones is although it sounds English, an artificial word invented in Germany. This now has such a fixed entrance in our dealings language found that it is also here in the patent application may be used.

Wir Senioren machen inzwischen einen immer grösser werdenden Anteil an der Bevölkerung aus. Trotzdem hat man sich bis jetzt praktisch keine Gedanken darüber gemacht, warum diese grosse Personengruppe so zurückhaltend beim Handy-Erwerb ist. Der Grund: Wir Senioren benötigen - im Unterschied zu jüngeren Generationen - ein Mobiltelefon kaum zur allgemeinen Kommunikation, sondern hauptsächlich nur für den NOTFALL, das heisst also die Nummern von Krankentransport und Feuerwehr (Die meist identisch sind), sowie den Polizeinotruf.We seniors are now making an ever bigger one Share of the population. Nevertheless, you have until now practically no thought about why this big one Group of people is so reluctant to buy a cell phone. The reason: We seniors need - unlike younger generations - a cell phone hardly for general communication, but mainly only for EMERGENCY, that means the numbers of ambulance and fire brigade (which are mostly identical), as well as the police emergency number.

Die auf dem Markt befindlichen Handys haben inzwischen zwar immer raffinierter werdende Technik. Sie besitzen aber nicht die grundsätzlichen Voraussetzungen, die notwendig sind, um auch alten, akut kranken Menschen zu ermöglichen - sogar bei halber Bewusstlosigkeit - auf einfachste Weise den gerade notwendigen, oft lebensrettenden Notruf abzusenden und Soforthilfe zu erhalten. Dazu gehört nicht nur die farbliche Gestaltung, die hier nicht "Designcharakter" hat, sondern bittere, funktionelle Notwendig­ keit ist. Auch die eigentliche Technik des Senioren Notfall- Handys unterscheidet sich grundlegend von denjenigen, welche auf dem Markt angeboten werden. So hat das Senioren Notfall- Handy nur 2 sehr grosse, griffige Signaltasten, die unverwechsel­ bar sind, sowie einen Kippschalter zum Aktivieren, der bedienungs­ gerecht auch für unbeholfene Finger in einer seitlichen Gehäuse­ vertiefung liegt.The cell phones on the market now have increasingly sophisticated technology. But you don't have that basic requirements that are necessary to also to enable elderly, acutely ill people - even at half Unconsciousness - in the simplest way the necessary, often send life-saving emergency calls and receive emergency aid. This does not only include the color design, which is not here Has "design character", but bitter, functional necessity is. Even the actual technology of the senior emergency Cell phones are fundamentally different from those be offered on the market. So the elderly has emergency Handy only 2 very large, handy signal buttons that are unmistakable bar, and a toggle switch to activate the operating fair even for awkward fingers in a side case deepening lies.

Die Qualität der erfinderischen Tätigkeit ist auch daran zu erkennen, dass die leider in verschiedenen Bereichen unterschied­ lichen Notrufnummern jeweils durch kleine Stellwerke innerhalb des Handygehäuses richtig einzustellen sind. The quality of the inventive step is also due to this realize that, unfortunately, differed in different areas emergency numbers by small signal boxes within of the cell phone housing must be set correctly.  

Wir Senioren werden immer älter and sind daher oft alleinstehend. Deshalb kommen immer mehr Überfälle auf unsere Altersgruppe zu. Wenn es sich nicht gerade um Schwerkriminelle handelt, so wird jemand, der einen Senioren angreifen will, schon abgeschreckt, wenn ihm dieser mit aktiviertem Senioren Notfall-Handy und der Hand an der grünen Polizeinotruftaste gegenübertritt. Grundsätzlich ist das Senioren Notfall-Handy sehr robust, weil es ausser der Sende- und Empfangseinheit nur einen leistungs­ fähigen Akku als Stromquelle besitzt.We seniors are getting older and are therefore often single. That is why more and more raids are coming to our age group. If it’s not just serious criminals, it will someone who wants to attack a senior citizen has already been put off, if he has this with an activated senior emergency cell phone and the Hand facing the green police emergency button. Basically, the senior emergency cell phone is very robust because apart from the transmitter and receiver unit, it only has one power capable battery as a power source.

Der Anmelder hat sich deshalb die technische Aufgabe gestellt, ein Mobil-Telefon zu entwickeln, was obigen Ansprüchen genügt. Dies bedeutet insbesondere, dass eine nur noch reflexartige Bedienung fehlerfrei möglich sein muss, wenn z. B. unmittelbar vor Herzinfarkt oder Schlaganfall alles vor den Augen verschwimmt und man praktisch "blind" Schalter and Taste bedienen kann, um hoffentlich noch die Adresse durchgeben zu können.The applicant has therefore set himself the technical task to develop a mobile phone, which meets the above requirements. This means in particular that it is only reflex-like Operation must be flawless if z. B. immediately before my heart attack or stroke everything blurs in front of my eyes and you can practically operate "blind" switches and buttons to hopefully to be able to give the address.

Das Senioren Notfall-Handy unterscheidet sich also grundsätzlich vom Marktangebot der Mobil-Telefone und hat mit diesen nur noch einen Teil der Bezeichnung gemeinsam.The senior emergency cell phone is fundamentally different from the market offer of mobile phones and has only with them part of the designation together.

Der Patentanspruch bezieht sich deshalb auf ein Mobil-Telefon speziell für Senioren, welches, wie beiliegend detailliert beschrieben, durch nur zwei grosse, griffige, unverwechselbare Signaltasten und einen klotzigen Kippschalter auch im äusserst schlechten Gesundheitszustand ohne Hinzusehen sicher bedienbar ist.The claim therefore relates to a mobile phone especially for seniors, which, as enclosed, is detailed described, by only two large, handy, distinctive Signal buttons and a bulky toggle switch also on the outside poor health is safe to use without looking.
