Description

The The invention relates to a communication module for mailboxes, mailboxes, intercoms or external stations, such as steles, which are operated wirelessly and can be flexibly integrated into any telephone system. Under letterbox according to the invention is also only a fixed mounted, For example, in a pillar built-in, single or throw to understand. Telephone systems include telecommunications systems (telecommunication systems), as well as PBXs, so internal communication systems too understand.

The wired connection of a conventional door intercom with a telephone system has been prepared in the schematic DE 195 24 553 A1 shown. From the DE 197 39 392 A1 , of the DE 44 08 972 C1 and the DE 196 31 259 A1 Door intercoms are known in which a handset of a DECT telephone system acts as a communication module. In the DE 198 11 064 a door intercom is described in which the communication module is formed, inter alia, by the base station of a DECT telephone system. In the solutions described, however, always a handset or the base station functions as a communication module or external station.

Further, from the scriptures DE 100 45 091 A1 . DE 200 02 331 U1 and DE 603 00 239 T2 Communication systems are known which have either several transmitters of a door station and at least in each case to the transmitters two radio receivers ( DE 603 00 239 T2 ) or which allow a communication with several subscribers in that at least one transmitter, which is connected to a voice module, communicates via radio with at least one radio home telephone or a radio telephone system ( DE 100 45 091 A1 and DE 200 02 331 U1 ). Hereby the technical core mentioned in all in this paragraph is already in the oldest writing, the DE 200 02 331 U1 shown. In each case a radio telephone system or at least a radiotelephone is required. In this connection, however, the transmitter is always only a mobile part of at least one respective radio base station.

This As a result, there is always at least one wireless telephone, one wireless telephone system or a DECT telephone system are necessary, to the external intercom station or the communication module of the door intercom to integrate into the plant. The inclusion of conventional wired telephone systems can not.

Furthermore, to ensure multi-site communication, it is necessary to provide a radio receiver for each internal station ( DE 200 02 331 U1 ). The DE 603 00 239 T2 even requires several radio transmitters. This is very costly and therefore uneconomical.

In addition, the number of possible subscribers is limited, since wireless digital telephone systems have only a relatively small number of mobile devices. If a mobile device is already being used as a communication module or intercom station, the number of remote stations is reduced. In the above-described integration of a transmitter in one or more radio base stations ( DE 200 02 331 U1 ), which can serve one or more handsets, is theoretically given a high number of participants. Practically, this is only very slightly guaranteed, since the transmitter can register as a handset, for example, in the Gigaset series of the market leader Siemens only up to three base stations. However, the device then only ever dials into a base station, namely the one with which the best radio contact exists.

Also for the model MWE Doorlink 300, Ritto residential telephone and Siemens Home Control can use only a very small number of participants in the system. From the prior art are two to a maximum of four participants known. It also acts there - like already presented in advance - one Handset of the telephone system as a communication module.

The The object of the invention is a communication module for mailboxes or Letterbox systems with at least one bell button and a Provide intercom without the communication module is a handset or a base station of a telephone system. It should be a higher Degree of flexibility be achieved so that the communication module in any existing Telephone systems that also work wired, easily integrated is. In addition, a high-quality communication module is for a larger number of participants to ensure so far.
