Description

Verfahren zum Empfangen von Nachrichten und elektrisches Gerät zur Durchführung des VerfahrensProcess for receiving messages and electrical device for carrying out the process
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Verfahren zum Empfangen von Nachrichten und einem elektrischen Gerät zur Durchführung des Verfahrens nach der Gattung der unabhängigen Ansprüche .The invention relates to a method for receiving messages and an electrical device for performing the method according to the preamble of the independent claims.
Aus der Mobilfunktechnik sind Verfahren und Geräte bekannt, bei denen kurze Nachrichten, sogenannte Short-Message- Services (SMS) an die einzelnen Teilnehmer des Funknetzes übertragen werden können. Eine solche kurze Nachricht hat zum Beispiel im E-Netz eine Länge von maximal 160 Zeichen. Das Eintreffen einer solchen Botschaft macht sich über eine Tonfolge bemerkbar. Die Übertragung einer solchen Nachricht ist in einem Funknetz problemlos möglich, da ein digitales Mobilfunkgerät solange es eingeschaltet ist Kontakt zu Funkstationen hält.Methods and devices are known from mobile radio technology in which short messages, so-called short message services (SMS), can be transmitted to the individual subscribers of the radio network. Such a short message, for example, has a maximum length of 160 characters in the e-network. The arrival of such a message is noticeable through a sequence of tones. The transmission of such a message is easily possible in a radio network, since a digital mobile radio device remains in contact with radio stations as long as it is switched on.
Weiterhin ist es bekannt, daß Verkehrsinformationen, NotrufSendungen, usw. über Rundfunk an Benutzer von Radiogeräten abgegeben werden. Die so gesendeten Rundfunksignale werden vom Sender mit einer Kennung versehen und von den Radiogeräten erkannt . Gerade für eine Notrufsendung ist aber nicht gewährleistet, daß die zu suchende Person die Nachricht auch empfäng .Furthermore, it is known that traffic information, emergency transmissions, etc. are broadcast to radio users. The broadcast signals sent in this way are provided with an identifier by the transmitter and recognized by the radios. For an emergency call, however, there is no guarantee that the person to be searched will also receive the message.
Vorteil der ErfindungAdvantage of the invention
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, daß die Nachricht in einem Speicher abgelegt und die Funktion des Gerätes bis zu dem Zeitpunkt unterbrochen wird, an dem der Benutzer den Empfang der Nachricht quittiert. Das hat den Vorteil, daß sichergestellt wird, daß ein Notruf die gesuchte Person mit höherer Wahrscheinlichkeit erreicht. Durch den Zwang den Erhalt der Information quittieren zu müssen, ist die Information auf jeden Fall an den Benutzer weitergegangen, auch wenn er sich gerade nicht im Fahrzeug aufhält.The inventive method with the characterizing features of the independent claim has the advantage that the message is stored in a memory and the function of the device is interrupted until the time when the user acknowledges receipt of the message. This has the advantage of ensuring that an emergency call is more likely to reach the person sought. Due to the obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information, the information has definitely passed on to the user, even if he is not currently in the vehicle.
Durch den in Unteransprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen ist eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung und Verbesserung des im unabhängigen Anspruch angegebenen Verfahrens möglich.The measures listed in the subclaims enable advantageous further development and improvement of the method specified in the independent claim.
In der zunächst einfachsten Ausführungsform ist es von Vorteil die Nachricht über Rundfunk zu übertragen.In the initially simplest embodiment, it is advantageous to transmit the message via radio.
Ein Verbesserung ist erreichbar, wenn eine an einen mit einer Kennung versehenen Funkempfänger gerichtete Nachricht durchgegeben und aufgenommen werden kann Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die über den Funkempfänger empfangene Nachricht über eine gesprochene Nachricht ergänzt wird, die über den Rundfunk gesendet wurde. Dabei werden auf einfache Weise Informationen, die im Rundfunk ausgegeben werden, mit Informationen, die über die direkte Funkverbindung empfangen werden, kombiniert. Dabei kann vorteilhafterweise ein digitaler Funkempfänger eingesetzt werden. Beispielsweise kann der Funkempfänger eine, dem Fahrzeugkennzeichen entsprechende Kennung aufweisen.An improvement can be achieved if a message directed to a radio receiver provided with an identifier can be transmitted and recorded. It is particularly advantageous if the message received via the radio receiver is supplemented by a spoken message that was transmitted via the radio. Information that is output on the radio is combined in a simple manner with information that is received via the direct radio connection. A digital radio receiver can advantageously be used. For example, the radio receiver can have an identifier corresponding to the vehicle registration number.
Weiterhin ist es von Vorteil, wenn die gesamte Nachricht über den Funkempfänger an das Gerät im Fahrzeug übertragen wird. Ein weiterer Vorteil liegt in der Darstellung der Nachricht über ein Display oder aber auch über eine Sprachausgabe. Vorteilhafterweise wird das Vorliegen einer Nachricht durch eine Tonfolge oder durch eine Leuchtanzeige angezeigt. Die Bestätigung des Erhalts der Nachricht kann über das Benutzen einer Eingabetaste erfolgen oder auch, was sehr vorteilhaft während des Fahrbetriebs ist, durch einen Sprachbefehl in ein Mikrophon.It is also advantageous if the entire message is transmitted to the device in the vehicle via the radio receiver. Another advantage is the display of the message on a display or via voice output. The presence of a message is advantageously indicated by a tone sequence or by an illuminated display. The receipt of the message can be confirmed by using an enter key or, which is very advantageous while driving, by a voice command into a microphone.
Vorteilhafterweise lassen sich die Daten, die über den Funkempfänger empfangen wurden durch einen Abgleich von Daten von einer CD ergänzen. Dazu wird auf eine CD, die z. B. Namen und Adressen enthält der Wohnort und die gesuchte Person einer bekannten Telefonnummer zugeordnet.The data received via the radio receiver can advantageously be supplemented by comparing data from a CD. For this, on a CD, the z. B. Names and addresses contain the place of residence and the person searched for a known phone number.
Das erfindungsmäßige elektrische Gerät, insbesondere Autoradiogerät mit den kennzeichnend Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs hat den Vorteil, daß es über Schalter die Audiowiedergabe unterbrechen kann und die Bestätigung der empfangenen Nachricht über geeignete Mittel erfolgt .The inventive electrical device, in particular car radio with the characterizing features of the independent claim has the advantage that it can interrupt the audio playback via switches and the confirmation of the received message is carried out by suitable means.
Weiterhin ist es von Vorteil, daß das Gerät über einen zusätzlichen Funkempfänger direkt und personalisiert anzusprechen ist. Das Autoradiogerät weist vorteilhafterweise einen zusätzlichen Funkempfänger auf. ZeichnungIt is also advantageous that the device can be addressed directly and in a personalized manner via an additional radio receiver. The car radio advantageously has an additional radio receiver. drawing
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert . Es zeigt Figur 1 den Verfahrensablauf und Figur 2 ein erfindungsgemäßes Autoradiogerät.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and explained in more detail in the following description. FIG. 1 shows the procedure and FIG. 2 shows an inventive car radio.
Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielsDescription of the embodiment
Die Erfindung schlägt eine erweiterte Funktion bestehender EmpfangsSysteme wie einem Autoradiogerät oder einem Navigationssystem in einem Kraftfahrzeug vor. Figur 1 stellt in einem Ablaufdiagramm dar, wie nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren die Übermittlung einer Nachricht an eine zu suchende Person abläuft . Der Bedarf eine Nachricht zu übermitteln wird in einem ersten Schritt 20 festgestellt. Ist es z. B. eine Personensuche kann der Antrag auf die Personensuche in der ADAC-Zentrale telefonisch eingehen 21. Von dort aus wird die Suchmeldung über ein geeignetes Sendesystem 22 weitergegeben. Gleichzeitig erfolgt die Aussendung eines Signals an die Nummer des zusätzlichen Empfängers des Autoradiogerätes, das von der gesuchten Person verwendet wird. Der Empfänger 23 registriert sowohl die direkt gesendeten Funksignale, als auch das über das Radio empfangene Sprachsignal. Die Kennung des Autoradiogeräts kann z.B. eine laufende Produktionsnummer oder das Kraftfahrzeugkennzeichen sein. Durch eine geeignete Schaltung wird die laufende Funktion des Gerätes unterbrochen. Alternativ wäre es auch denkbar, nicht die Funktion des Autoradiogeräts zu unterbrechen, sondern das Kraftfahrzeug selbst über die bekannte elektronische Wegfahrsperre im deaktivierten Zustand zu belassen. Der Benutzer kann im Schritt 24 den Empfang der Nachricht bestätigen und die Funktionssperre seines Geräts damit aufheben. Die Rückmeldung durch die gesuchte Person 25 kann dann direkt erfolgen. Es ist nach diesem Beispiel denkbar, daß zusätzlich zu dem Rundfunktext der Notrufsendung die relevante Telefonnummer direkt an das Gerät der zu suchenden Person weitergegeben wird. Besitzt der Rundfunkempfänger eine sogenannte TIM (Traffic Information Memory) -Funktion werden die durch die Kennung eingeleiteten Rundfunkmeldungen bereits in einem speziellen Speicher abgelegt und können anschließend wieder aufgerufen werden. Hat der Benutzer kein solches Gerät zur Verfügung reicht es oftmals aus, lediglich die Rufnummer übertragen zu bekommen.The invention proposes an expanded function of existing receiving systems such as a car radio or a navigation system in a motor vehicle. FIG. 1 shows in a flow diagram how the transmission of a message to a person to be searched proceeds according to the method according to the invention. The need to transmit a message is determined in a first step 20. Is it e.g. B. a person search, the request for the person search can be received by telephone in the ADAC headquarters 21. From there, the search message is forwarded via a suitable transmission system 22. At the same time, a signal is sent to the number of the additional receiver of the car radio used by the person sought. The receiver 23 registers both the directly transmitted radio signals and the speech signal received via the radio. The identifier of the car radio device can be, for example, a serial production number or the vehicle registration number. The running function of the device is interrupted by a suitable circuit. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable not to interrupt the function of the car radio, but to leave the motor vehicle itself in the deactivated state via the known electronic immobilizer. The user can receive the message in step 24 Confirm and unlock the function of his device. The feedback from the person 25 sought can then be made directly. According to this example, it is conceivable that, in addition to the broadcast text of the emergency call, the relevant telephone number is passed on directly to the device of the person to be searched. If the radio receiver has a so-called TIM (Traffic Information Memory) function, the radio reports initiated by the identifier are already stored in a special memory and can then be called up again. If the user does not have such a device available, it is often sufficient to simply have the phone number transmitted.
Das einfachste Ausführungsbeispiel verwendet lediglich die Rundfunkdurchsage, um die Funktion des Gerätes zu unterbrechen.The simplest embodiment uses only the broadcast announcement to interrupt the function of the device.
Es ist durchaus möglich, die empfangene Telefonnummer über einen Massenspeicher mit Personen- und Wohnortdaten zu vergleichen. Dazu ist lediglich ein CD-Laufwerk im Kofferraum des Fahrzeugs notwendig, das eine CD enthält, auf der alle Adressen, Personennamen und Telefonnummern gespeichert sind. Durch einen Abgleich der übermittelten Telefonnummer mit den Daten der CD ist es problemlos möglich, den Wohnort der zu kontaktierenden Person herauszufinden.It is quite possible to compare the received phone number with a mass storage device with personal and place of residence data. All that is required is a CD drive in the trunk of the vehicle, which contains a CD on which all addresses, personal names and telephone numbers are stored. By comparing the transmitted telephone number with the data on the CD, it is easily possible to find out the place of residence of the person to be contacted.
Figur 2 zeigt ein erfindungsgemäßes Autoradiogerät . Die Rundfunksignale 9 werden vom Empfänger 1 aufgenommen und empfangen. Die Signale werden über den Schalter 7 auf die normale Sprachausgabe über Lautsprecher 6 weitergegeben. Wenn der Empfänger die TIM-Funktion (Traffic Information Memory) aufweist werden die durch eine Tonfolge gekennzeichneten Nachrichten über einen Sprachbaustein 2 erfaßt und von der Auswerteeinheit 13 in einem speziellen Speicher 3 abgelegt . Diese Informationen stehen dann immer auf Abruf zur Verfügung. Das erfindungsmäßige Gerät besitzt zusätzlich zum Rundfunksempfangsteil 1 einen Empfänger für Funksignale 11. Werden über den Empfänger 11 zusätzliche Nachrichten empfangen erkennt dies die Auswerteeinheit 13 und speichert die Informationen ebenfalls im Speicher 3 zwischen. Gleichzeitig wird der Schalter 7, bzw. 8 betätigt, so daß die normale Funktion des Rundfunkgerätes unterbrochen wird. Erst wenn der Benutzer über eine Taste 4 die Quittierung der Nachricht bestätigt, wird die Nachricht aus dem Speicher 3 über das Display oder wahlweise auch über den Lautsprecher wiedergegeben. Die Bestätigung der Nachricht kann auch über ein Mikrophon 12 und den Sprachbaustein 2 erfolgen. Sollte über die direkte Funkverbindung nur eine Telefonnummer übertragen worden sein, wird sie ebenfalls im Speicher 3 abgelegt. Die Auswerteeinheit 13 kann dann über das CD-Laufwerk 14 einen Datenabgleich mit einem Telefonverzeichnis vornehmen. Figure 2 shows an inventive car radio. The radio signals 9 are received and received by the receiver 1. The signals are passed on via switch 7 to normal speech output via loudspeaker 6. If the receiver has the TIM function (Traffic Information Memory), the messages identified by a tone sequence are recorded via a speech module 2 and stored by the evaluation unit 13 in a special memory 3. This information is then always available on call. The device according to the invention In addition to the radio reception part 1, a receiver for radio signals 11. If additional messages are received via the receiver 11, the evaluation unit 13 recognizes this and also temporarily stores the information in the memory 3. At the same time the switch 7 or 8 is actuated so that the normal function of the radio is interrupted. Only when the user confirms the acknowledgment of the message via a button 4 is the message from the memory 3 shown on the display or optionally also on the loudspeaker. The message can also be confirmed via a microphone 12 and the voice module 2. If only a telephone number has been transmitted via the direct radio connection, it is also stored in memory 3. The evaluation unit 13 can then carry out a data comparison with a telephone directory via the CD drive 14.
