Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for configuring a user interface for an electronic device according to the preamble of claim 1. It also relates to an electronic device equipped with such a user interface or interface parts.
  • Portable and especially hand-held electronic devices have become an integral part of modern society and have long been a subject of dynamic technical and economic development. This development had its breakthrough with the early portable transistor radios and pocket transistor radios and later with the Walkman and the portable CD player (Discman) in the field of consumer electronics experienced further highlights. A similar development is already emerging in this area for the MP3 player for storing music pieces downloaded from the Internet.
  • the devices mentioned also include the remote control devices that have long been used to operate stationary television, video and hi-fi devices and, more recently, have been used to control other devices in the home (lighting, door and gate controls, etc.) ,
  • the handheld computing and data processing devices of the various application specifications and performance classes which are also very widespread - from simple pocket calculators to programmable pocket calculators and simpler address and appointment databases to high-performance handheld PCs or PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant) - has become one rapid development towards higher performance and complexity.
  • PDAs Personal Digital Assistant
  • cell phones and cordless phones have gained outstanding economic importance in handheld electronic devices.
  • WAP Wireless Application Protocol
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method for configuring a user interface which substantially reduces the organizational and logistical outlay and brings significant cost savings.
  • the invention includes the basic idea of merely implementing a rudimentary end device component of the user interface in the respective electronic device during its production and delivery to the end customer and having the configuration (“nationalization”) initiated by the respective user himself the idea of nationalizing this via a communication network (e.g. the Internet, a fixed telephone network or a mobile phone). bilfunknetz) to which the device must be connected anyway or at least can be connected easily. Furthermore, the invention includes the idea of transferring at least parts of corresponding sources of knowledge, in particular at least parts of one of several stored (national or dialect-related) vocabularies to a central device in this communication network, to the terminal component.
  • This configuration of the user interface basically represents a last step in the manufacture of the respective device.
  • the terminal component must be designed to receive and store this vocabulary and to integrate it into the user interface or the user interface.
  • all the necessary operating algorithms are pre-defined in the user interfaces, but the language-dependent parts of the user interface are only taken over from the communication network by the end customer.
  • the vocabulary or other sources of knowledge are transmitted to the terminal component in response to a request signal sent by the latter.
  • a request signal sent by the latter. This is generated in particular on the basis of a selection process of a national language (or also a dialect) by the user when starting up his terminal.
  • the transmission and storage of the vocabulary then takes place independently and “invisibly” for the user.
  • the request signal can alternatively also be generated automatically on the basis of information about the user's place of residence contained on the SIM card.
  • menu navigation which starts when the user logs on to the network, is preferred
  • the user of a mobile phone in Germany may decide to load an English speech recognition on his device, or a resident of Switzerland chooses his mother tongue from the official languages.
  • the term “national language” is also intended to include dialects. There is also the possibility of configuring a dialect- or dialect-specific user interface for parts of a specific country, for example for Bavaria and Saxony in Germany.
  • the telephone companies or providers generally have the corresponding information about the user and can offer certain nationalization or regionalization variants on their own, the final determination should expediently be left to the user.
  • the initialization dialogs can therefore be very short and simple and can in no way be compared to the cumbersome enrollment procedures for speaker-dependent speech recognition.
  • nationalization vocabulary can be transferred to the terminal device, particularly in the case of terminal devices, such as mobile radio terminal devices, which are permanently connected to a communication network, in response to a control signal originating from the communication network itself. This is useful, for example, in the sense of updating.
  • differently specified vocabularies or vocabulary parts are loaded in user interfaces (user interfaces or user interfaces) of special end devices.
  • the transmitted vocabulary can include, in particular, national language control words for operating the device, in particular for optical menu navigation and / or voice control, or also for a speech synthesis system. This will apply in particular to remote controls for controlling stationary devices or device combinations in the home area, where essentially only such vocabularies are required.
  • a control vocabulary for operating a television set can be downloaded, for example, from a special teletext page that is created and maintained by the device manufacturer and / or a television broadcaster or an independent service provider.
  • Control words also form at least part of the relevant nationalization vocabulary for telecommunication devices and hand-held computers.
  • these devices there is also a national language set of personal and / or place names for voice control of address or telephone book functions and / or a national language basic vocabulary of everyday language or also certain technical languages - especially for handheld PCs or PDAs for certain professional groups - to implement with advantage.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a first embodiment of the invention (mobile telephone) in the form of a function block diagram
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of a second embodiment of the invention (handheld PC) in the form of a functional block diagram
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of a third embodiment of the invention (mobile remote control device) in the manner of a functional block diagram.
  • the service and maintenance center SMC is assigned a nationalization server NS for carrying out the configuration method according to the invention for the mobile phone MS, to which a plurality of vocabulary databases DB1, DB2 and DB3 with national language vocabularies for the mobile phone MS are connected in different languages.
  • the vocabulary databases contain in particular a selection of common personal names in the respective national language as well as an extensive control vocabulary that is sufficient to operate a comfortable mobile phone by voice control.
  • the mobile phone MS is with the usual software, i.e. H. Control and processing algorithms for device operation, but without national vocabulary.
  • a connection to the service and maintenance center SMC of the provider is automatically established and, based on the information about the registration location of the telephone stored in the SIM card (not shown), a connection is established to the vocabulary database that corresponds to the registration location of the device keeps the correct vocabulary.
  • the user is given the opportunity to confirm this vocabulary for implementation in his device or to select a different national vocabulary.
  • the relevant input is loaded into the internal vocabulary memory WM of the mobile phone MS via the network connection.

After the connection has been established by the user, the country code of his dial-in node is used to determine which national language is most likely to be implemented in the device, and a connection to the corresponding vocabulary database is established.
