Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for transmitting information from a transmitter to a receiver.
  • Such methods and devices are known from the prior art and are used, for example, in modern mobile telephones.
  • certain symbols are selected by the user of the sending mobile phone, for example when sending an SMS message.
  • these are generally the standard symbols “+”, “-”, “.”, “,”, “:”, “;”, ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ? ⁇ »i» "*» »/"»l” »)» » * - ⁇ ⁇ - ⁇ ⁇ > - ⁇ " ⁇ »
  • SMS short message service
  • short messages can be sent via mobile telephones (transmitters) via a short message center of a service provider to another mobile phone (receiver).
  • Such short messages can be used to send voice messages.
  • a disadvantage of the cell phones that have become known from the prior art, or of the methods and devices for transmitting information from one cell phone to another cell phone, that is known from the prior art is that the information, for example a symbol or a sequence of tones to be transmitted as such.
  • This object is achieved by a method with the features mentioned in claim 1 in that a symbol (image) is selected on the transmitting side, a character string is determined for the symbol on the transmitting side, the character string assigned to the symbol is sent to the receiver and the character string is received on the receiving side associated symbol is converted and the symbol is displayed on a display device and at the same time at least one tone sequence assigned to the symbol is reproduced acoustically.
  • the specific symbol can be selected on the transmission side from a table of symbols. This can be done using a display, for example.
  • the user of a mobile phone can use the
  • the mobile phone will then convert the selected symbol internally into the corresponding word or character string and send this character string.
  • the symbols or the table of symbols is preferably stored beforehand in a memory.
  • the selection of the symbols and / or the assignment of the character string to the selected symbol and / or the sending or receiving of the character string is controlled by a microprocessor.
  • the method can thus preferably be implemented with a device which, integrated on a circuit board, has the memory for storing the table of symbols and assigned character strings, the microprocessor and the input unit or keyboard.
  • the method can thus be used completely in modern mobile telephones, since it does not require any additional precautions that cannot be integrated into known mobile telephones.
  • the method according to the invention and the device according to the invention for transmitting symbols from a transmitter to a receiver can therefore be used completely in today's mobile phones.
  • a method is further preferred in which an identifier is added to the character string by the sender when the character string is sent.
  • This characteristic character is used to distinguish the string from other strings that are not symbols. For example, when the above-mentioned sun symbol is sent, the sun symbol is first converted into the word "sun” and then provided with an identifier, for example with the identifier "#". The character string provided with the identification means "#" in this way is then sent by the transmitter unit of the transmitter.
  • this identification of character strings makes it possible to distinguish normal character strings from those character strings that encrypt a symbol. This is because, in a preferred embodiment, it is possible for the receiving side to recognize whether or not a character string has the identification that identifies it as an encrypted symbol.
  • the character string does not have an identifier that identifies it as an encrypted symbol, it is processed on the receiving side as the character string itself or is displayed to the user of the receiving mobile phone. However, if the character string is identified, the receiving unit recognizes that it is an encrypted symbol and preferably searches for the corresponding assigned symbol and the assigned tone sequence in a table stored in a memory. As soon as the symbol and the tone sequence have been determined at the receiving end, the symbol can be displayed and the tone sequence can be played. The user on the receiving side therefore does not notice that only the character string has been transmitted, but sees the symbol directly and hears the tone sequence and comes the feeling that the symbol or the tone sequence itself was transmitted.
  • the method can also be implemented at the receiving end with the aid of a microprocessor which controls the retrieval of the tables of symbols and tone sequences and assigned character strings from the memory and which also controls the receiving unit of the receiver and possibly also the display unit for displaying the finally determined symbol and the playback unit Playing the tone sequence controls.
  • a microprocessor processes an algorithm stored in a memory when it is to convert a symbol into a character string.
  • This assignment of character string to symbol and tone sequence can also be carried out at the receiving end when an icon / tone sequence is assigned to the character string using an algorithm.
  • Another embodiment of the invention has the encryption according to the invention only on one side. This means that in this embodiment the method reproduces the symbol or the tone sequence in encrypted or encrypted form on only one side, that is to say only with the receiver or only with the transmitter.
  • This means that in this embodiment only the string is entered by the user, for example, when sending. The user can preferably provide this character string with an identifier. Then the labeled nete string sent from the sender to the recipient.
  • the recipient is able to convert the marked string into the corresponding symbol and the corresponding tone sequence.
  • This can be the case, for example, if only the receiving mobile phone is equipped with corresponding display / playback devices that allow a symbol to be displayed or the sound sequence to be reproduced, while the sending mobile phone does not allow a symbol display or sound reproduction.
  • the method according to the invention or the device according to the invention recognizes the the selected symbol, the language in which the selected symbol is to be encrypted. If necessary, the user can also specify this. In the case of mobile telephones, this then means, for example, that in the case of a mobile telephone which is owned by a German-speaking user or in which the user specifies the German language as the transmission language, the sun symbol is transmitted as the word "sun". However, if the user of the mobile phone is an English-speaking user or if the user chooses the English language, the sun symbol is transmitted as the string "sun”. In a further embodiment, all the important languages of the world are programmed into the memory. The sending telephone then sends in the language set for the sending telephone, while the receiving telephone searches for the language just received in the various tables which are stored in the memory by means of the microprocessor and then displays the symbol selected by the transmitter.
  • the transmitter is a telephone and the receiver is a personal computer (PC) or a fax machine.
  • the symbol sent is then displayed by the PC or printed out by the fax.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic arrangement of a transmitter and a receiver for transmitting individual symbols (individual images);
  • FIG. 2 shows a block diagram for sending individual symbols with musical background
  • Figure 3 is a block diagram for receiving individual symbols with musical background
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows an arrangement 10 for transmitting individual symbols (individual images) with background music from a transmitter 12 to a receiver 1.
  • Transmitter 12 and / or receiver 14 can be, for example, mobile telephones, PCs, fax machines, communicators, laptops, notebooks or the like. Terminal devices (telephones) connected to telecommunication systems are also conceivable and have the appropriate equipment.
  • Terminal devices telephones
  • the transmitter 12 and the receiver 14 are each a mobile phone, but the functions relate to the others mentioned Devices are easily transferable and are within the scope of the invention.
  • an operator of the transmitter 12 would like to send a symbol (image) accompanied by music to a person in the possession of the receiver 14.
  • the operator of the transmitter 12 calls up an image (later also referred to as a symbol) from a storage means 16, as will be explained later.
  • the symbol and, if appropriate, the triggering information of the tone sequence to be reproduced is processed by means of a microprocessor 18 and transmitted to a service provider 24 as a short message 22 via a transmitting and receiving device 20.
  • Service providers 24 are, for example, operators of mobile radio systems, such as C networks, D networks, E networks or the like.
  • the sending of a short message 22 via a service provider 24 to a selected recipient 14 is generally known, so that it will not be discussed in more detail in the context of the present description.
  • Short message 22 representing triggering information is transmitted to receiver 14.
  • the receiver 14 knows - in a manner still to be explained - that the short message 22 is the representation of a symbol (picture) with musical background.
  • the receiver 14 recognizes the symbol (image) by a likewise provided microprocessor 18, which is provided with a storage means 16 cooperates, the corresponding image is shown on a display device 26.
  • the tone sequence assigned to the image is reproduced as a melody, possibly with vocals, via a loudspeaker 27.
  • Figure 2 illustrates in a schematic block diagram representation the sending of individual symbols with musical background.
  • the same parts as in Figure 1 are provided with the same reference numerals and not explained again.
  • an operating device 28 which is formed, for example, by an alphanumeric keyboard
  • the existing possibilities of sending symbols with musical background can be displayed on the display device 26.
  • This representation can take place, for example, in a menu-guided manner, in that the existing possibilities are displayed individually, one after the other or in a coherent manner by actuating corresponding keys of the operating device 28.
  • an arrow approaching a heart is to be transmitted as the symbol.
  • This picture is, for example, cherstoff 16 filed under the serial number "1".
  • a character string is assigned to each of the symbols, which essentially corresponds to an image symbol. This assignment is stored, for example, in the schematically represented tabular form in the storage means 16. For example, the character string "Herza" is assigned to the image "1".
  • each symbol (image) is assigned a selection of two possible tone sequences "ml” or "m2".
  • tone sequence “ml” or “m2” triggers the reproduction of a specific assigned tone sequence with transmission of the image at the receiver - as will be explained below.
  • the tone sequence “ml” or “m2” can be selected.
  • only one tone sequence “m” or a plurality of tone sequences “ml” to “mx” can be assigned to each image.
  • the transmitting and receiving unit 20 is controlled via the microprocessor 18 in such a way that the string "Herzami" is sent as a short message.
  • this short message is transmitted from the transmitting and receiving device 20 present there to the microprocessor 18 there, which by Reading in the storage means 16, which is also present there, on the one hand determines the associated icon and the associated tone sequence.
  • the representation of the image "1" can then take place and at the same time the tone sequence (music) corresponding to the character string "ml" can be played.
  • the arrow that is approaching the heart and, at the same time, the reception of the associated melody as a standing image are thus obtained.
  • the melody can consist of any tone sequence that has been previously defined and stored in the storage means 16 of the receiver. Simple sequences of tones, complex melodies and / or melodies associated with singing come into consideration as tone sequences.
  • the "wedding march” could be intoned in the representation of the arrow hitting the heart as a melody.
  • an identification can be made, for example with the "#" key, so that the short message then consists of the string "Herzaml #".
  • FIG. 3 again schematically illustrates the receipt of the short message 22 at the receiver 14.
  • the microprocessor 18 receives the short message 22 through the transmitting and receiving device 20 and transmits it this of the memory unit 16.
  • the individual symbol (image) can be represented on the display device 26 in accordance with the received short message 22 and simultaneously via the loudspeaker 27 play the assigned tone sequence.
  • the microprocessor circuit 18 can have a loop circuit, according to which the information transmitted as a short message 22 and converted via the storage unit 16 into the image sequences or the sound sequences is continuously displayed or reproduced. This can take place until an operator at the receiver 14 interrupts the display or playback.
  • Calling up the short message 22 at the receiver and thus displaying the images and reproducing the tone sequences can take place either immediately after receiving the short message 22 or later. For this purpose, there is a corresponding temporary storage until the operator of the receiver 14 calls it up.
  • FIGS. 4 to 28 show further examples of symbols which can be transmitted by means of the method according to the invention.
  • the selectable and transferable symbols (Images) are shown, while on the right the assigned language expressions are shown.
  • the order numbers designated in Figures 2 and 3 with the order numbers "1", “2", “3” ... "x” each correspond, for example, to one of the symbols shown in the figures with the assigned character string (optionally as - how shown - readable word formed).
  • the respective symbol is converted into the corresponding character string and the desired tone sequence "m" is selected.
