  • the present invention relates to a battery pack with additional communication options.
  • Mobile phones are mainly used for data communication and additional services (VAS, Value Added Services).
  • VAS Value Added Services
  • programs and data are stored in memory areas of the telephone and / or an identification card inserted in the telephone.
  • cell phones usually only have very small buttons and controls, so that only very short entries can be made with these buttons, which greatly limits the possible uses of cell phones.
  • Mobile phones were therefore offered which, in addition to the mobile radio part, have a contactless interface, for example an inductive or an infrared interface, via which they can communicate with external devices, for example with computers, palmtops or POS (point-of-sale) who have better input means.
  • a contactless interface for example an inductive or an infrared interface
  • external devices for example with computers, palmtops or POS (point-of-sale) who have better input means.
  • POS point-of-sale
  • the contactless interface is mounted on a removable and commercially available part of the mobile device, it is possible for the user to simply replace the battery pack with another in order to be able to communicate with various external devices in accordance with various different protocols.
  • the radio interface preferably consists of a known RFID element (Radio Frequency Identification), which consists for example of an antenna, for example a coil, and a communication controller.
  • RFID element Radio Frequency Identification
  • the mobile phone can communicate with external devices, for example with devices in the same room, in both directions.
  • the radio interface consists of a GPS
  • the radio interface consists of a radio clock signal receiver with which the time can be determined.
  • the battery pack can communicate with the mobile phone via additional contacts. In one variant, it can communicate with the mobile phone by modulating the supply voltage. In another variant, he can communicate with the mobile phone via a further contactless interface.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic and perspective view of a mobile phone with a battery pack according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic view of the inventive

  • the mobile phone 3 is powered by a replaceable battery pack
  • a Li-ion battery which is mounted in a housing and which feeds the mobile phone through power contacts 22 and 31, respectively.
  • Known fasteners such as snap-in or Spring-loaded fasteners allow the user to replace and replace the battery pack without much effort.
  • the battery pack 2 has a radio interface which allows direct communication with an external device 1.
  • the interface comprises an integrated circuit (communication controller) 21 and an antenna 20, which in this example consists of a coil.
  • the interface in this variant therefore consists of an element named with the acronym RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), which allows connections via electromagnetic waves to external devices of up to several meters.
  • RFID Radio Frequency Identification
  • RFID components are already known per se and work according to two different basic principles.
  • the first type of RFID elements uses magnetic fields and a frequency up to a few GHz, for example 13.56 MHz.
  • the antenna consists of a coil in these elements, and the maximum range is typically 4 meters.
  • Other RFID components use electrical fields that allow a longer range, but are usually more expensive. With radio interface and RFID, these two types of RFID elements are included in the scope of this application.
  • RFIDs are used for a variety of different applications, including access control (personal access), ski lifts, credit cards and money transactions, user identification in a network, etc. Accordingly, a variety of different frequencies and not always standardized transmission protocols are used for these applications. According to the invention, the user can simply replace the battery pack of his mobile phone in order to communicate with external devices via various protocols. New battery packs can be purchased when new communication standards are established or new needs arise; however, it is not necessary to replace the entire mobile phone. Battery packs that can each communicate via different protocols and frequencies can also be offered within the scope of this invention, so that users do not have to purchase too large a number of battery packs. For this purpose, such multi-function and multi-protocol battery packs can be provided with a multiplicity of antennas / coils 20 and / or with a multiplicity of controllers 21.
  • the communication controller can execute 21 different programs.
  • the communication controller preferably has an interpreter, for example a JAVA interpreter with JINI capabilities, in order to execute instructions in received messages in an object-oriented language.
  • Identification is one possible application of RFID elements. External readers 1 send a query a, on which the controller 21 with its own identification, which is in a
  • Memory area of the controller 21 is saved, replies.
  • the reader 1 thus knows which device 2 he is communicating with and can carry out various activities accordingly, for example opening a door, allowing access to a computer or a network, registering the presence of the user, etc.
  • More complex processes allow, for example, the transmission of electronic money between a storage area of the controller 21 and the external device 1.
  • Such processes are preferably electronically secured in a protected form, for example encrypted, signed with an electronic signature and / or authenticated.
  • the battery pack 2 can have a chip card reader in which, for example, an identification card can be stored.
  • This card permits reliable identification of the user, which can also be independent of the identification in module 30.
  • more complex processes can be implemented if the communication controller 21 can communicate with the mobile telephone 3 and the identification module 30.
  • data for example user identification, biometric parameters of the user, programs, applets, electronic monetary amounts, etc., can be transmitted in both directions between the data processing means 21 in the battery pack 2 and the identification module 30.
  • the external device 1 can also communicate with the processor in the identification module 30 and access this data.
  • Mobile phones 3 can then be used to display data, text and images from the external device, while the external device can be controlled using the keys and input means of the mobile phone.
  • the mobile phone even communicate with devices in the digital mobile radio network 4 and send and receive data as SMS (Short Message System), USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data), e-mails and / or in the user channel, for example.
