Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mobile telecommunication terminal which can be registered at one of several different base stations in order to establish and conduct communication connections with a telecommunication network via this base station.
  • Such terminals in particular cordless telephones, can be used indiscriminately by a user in connection with base stations for telephoning, which are installed at different locations, for example at one or more locations of a company where the user works, or at his home.
  • Cordless telephones of this type usually have a number memory in which the user can store frequently used telephone numbers, possibly in conjunction with the name of a conversation partner, and to which he can set up a connection by simply selecting the number or name in a displayed list.
  • the problem can arise that the call number plans of these different base stations are different. If, for example, the base stations belong to different local networks, phone numbers stored without local area code can only be dialed via the base station in the appropriate local network. Further problems may arise if an outside line code is to be preselected for one of the base stations, but not for another, if speed-dial numbers are used that are only defined locally for a base station, or if numbers of extensions are stored that are also only each have meaning for a base station.
  • the present invention provides a telecommunications terminal that enables more convenient and secure handling of the number memory.
  • a mobile telecommunications terminal which can be registered at one of several different base stations in order to establish and route communication connections with a telecommunications network via this base station, and which is assigned a number memory, means for displaying call numbers stored in the number memory Names and means for transmitting a phone number to a base station in response to a user selecting the displayed name assigned to the phone number, provided that information relating to a phone number stored in the number memory can be stored in
  • the means for displaying are preferably set up so that, under the names that are assigned to the stored call numbers, only those that can be dialed in connection with a specific base station are displayed.
  • This information can be displayed in different ways; For example, in a number memory organized in columns, a number column for the stored call numbers and a station column can be provided, which contains an entry for each call number that designates the base station (s) in connection with which this call number can be dialed.
  • the information can, however, also be represented by the distribution of the stored call numbers in the number memory, namely if, in the case of a number memory organized in columns, each of the various base stations to which the terminal can be connected is assigned a column and in each column that associated with the assigned base station dialable numbers are saved.
  • the specific base station should be the one to which the terminal is registered. This can be done in different ways.
  • One way is to equip such a terminal with an operating element for determining the specific base station by the user. This means, for example, that when he starts work in the morning, he can set the base station of his workplace as the specific base station when he comes home, but that of his home. This prevents him from accidentally dialing numbers from the directory that are only valid at home, and vice versa.
  • a mobile terminal When a mobile terminal registers with a base station, that is, enters a standby state in which it is able to accept it for certain calls from the base station or to send requests to establish a call connection to it, an inevitable first Data exchange between the base station and the terminal take place in which both are each other reveal to others in order to check the authorization to communicate with each other. If the terminal thus determines the identity of the base station to which it is registering, it is advantageous if it defines this base station as the specific base station. In this case, it is not necessary for the user to determine the specific base station because this is done automatically by the terminal when it enters the transmission / reception area of a base station or is switched on within this area.
  • the terminal can also advantageously be switched between a dialing operating state in which only the names that can be selected in connection with the specific base station are displayed and offered to a user for selection, and an editing operating state in which all the data, names, stored in the number memory. Phone numbers and information about the assignment of a phone number to a station are displayed and can be changed by a user.
  • a user enters a number in the number memory of the terminal, he has the option of specifying in connection with which of the various base stations the number should be dialable. If he does not make such an entry, the information is stored for the call number that it can be dialed in connection with all base stations.
  • Figures 2A and 2B two alternatives of the internal organization of a number memory
  • Figures 3A and 3B possible appearances of a display element of the terminal in the dialing mode.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically the functional groups of a mobile telecommunications terminal, which are important for understanding the present invention.
  • a processor 1 which receives input from a user via an operating element in the form of a keypad 2, a number memory 3 which the processor 1 can read and write, a display element, for example in the form of an LCD display 4 and one Transceiver function group 5 for exchanging signaling data between processor 1 and a base station (not shown), for example for transmitting a user-selected telephone number from the processor to the base station, and for transmitting useful information while a call is being established .
  • a base station not shown
  • FIG. 2A shows a first example of the internal organization of the number memory 3.
  • the terminal can be connected to up to four different base stations, and accordingly the number memory 3 comprises four number columns 8, each of which is one of the base stations (a , b, c or d) is assigned.
  • a name column 9 is common to all number columns 8.
  • a line of the number memory 3 contains a name of a subscriber in the name column 9.
  • the number columns 8 each contain, in the same line, telephone numbers of the subscriber in question which are valid for the base station assigned to the number column.
  • the base station a corresponding to the first number column 8 is a base station at the working is the user's place
  • the station b corresponding to the second column of numbers is a base station in the user's apartment.
  • One line of the number memory 3 corresponds to each stored subscriber.
  • the name "ABC” of a first subscriber and the call numbers valid for the corresponding base stations are stored in the number columns 8 corresponding to the base stations a and b in the first line.
  • “ABC” could be a manager of the user who can be reached via the base station of the company with a speed dial "73" and a terminal number "2318" and via the private base station b using a local area code.
  • the subscriber "DEF" stored in the second line can, for example, belong to the private circle of acquaintances of the user and can only be reached from the private base station b via a stored number.
  • a third subscriber "GHI”, for example a colleague of the user, is assigned only a call number valid at the operational base station a, which can be, for example, an extension number of an in-house telecommunications system. Since in the example considered here the terminal is only used in connection with the two base stations a and b, the third and fourth number columns 8 remain unoccupied. Remain the same way
  • Memory locations in the number columns 8 corresponding to base stations a and b are unoccupied if no number is stored for a subscriber in connection with the corresponding base station.
  • FIG. 2B An organization of the number memory 3, in which the empty storage of individual memory locations is avoided, is shown in FIG. 2B.
  • the number memory 3 is divided into a name column 9, a single number column 8 and a station column 10.
  • the first line of the number memory 3 contains the name "ABC" in the name column, the operational number of "ABC” and A set bit is set in the station column for each base station for which the number is valid and a reset bit for all other base stations. In the present case, only the bit corresponding to the operational base station a is set; if the number were valid for several base stations, all bits corresponding to these stations would be set.
  • the second line again contains the name "ABC", the number valid for the private base station b and a set bit in the station column 10 corresponding to the station b.
  • the terminal enters or is started up in the transmission / reception area of a base station, it is first necessary to determine this base station. With a simple design of the terminal, the user can do this manually, for example by pressing a key on the keypad 2 assigned to the base station to be determined. If the user later activates a dialing operating state of the terminal, the processor 1 reads the In - Stop the number memory 3 and shows on the display 4 only those names to which a number valid for the specific base station is assigned in the number memory 3, so that the user can only dial this.
  • FIG. 3A shows the appearance of the display 4 when the terminal a is determined.
  • a first display field 14 of the display 4 indicates which is the currently determined station;
  • a second display field 15 the names of the dialable interlocutors are shown.
  • the name of one of the conversation partners, which can be selected by pressing a selection key on the control panel 2 is identified in a known manner by a dark background 16, inverted writing or bold letters.
  • the processor 1 selects the names “ABC” and “GHI” for display, the subscriber “DEF” likewise stored in the number memory 3 does not become displayed because its call number for station a is not valid.
  • FIG. 3B that the base station b is determined, only the names “ABC” and “DEF” are shown, the subscriber “GHI” cannot be selected.
  • the processor 1 automatically determines the base station. For this purpose, it is sufficient to evaluate the authentication protocol that is usually carried out when a terminal is registered at a base station, in which the base station can be identified to the terminal. In this way, a fully automatic change between different base stations is possible, and the use of the correct call numbers is ensured at each base station, even without the user having to know which is the base station in whose transmission / reception area the terminal device is located.
  • Numbers and names are entered in the number memory 3 in any known manner. Following the
  • the processor 1 inputs via the display 4 before the user has the choice of specifying base stations for which the entered telephone number is valid. If the user answers no by pressing a corresponding key on the keypad 2, the number entered is regarded as valid for all base stations, ie in the case of an organization of the number memory as shown in FIG. 2A, the number becomes identical in all number columns 8 registered; in the organization shown in FIG. 2B, all bits of station column 10 are set for the number in question. For a user who does not need the ability of the terminal to register at different base stations, the entry of data into the number memory is therefore not more complex than with a terminal that does not have this capability. If the user answers yes, the processor 1 then prompts them to press one or more keys on the keypad 2, each associated with a base station, and then press a confirmation key to specify one or more base stations for which the number is valid.
  • the present invention is of course applicable regardless of the type of base station at which the terminal can register.
  • these base stations can be ones that have been set up by a private operator for their own use, for example in the home or within a company, whereas other base stations to which the terminal can also register, for example, to one or even belong to several different public cellular networks.
