  • a hub control unit inserts the required damping alternately in the transmission direction or in the reception direction.
  • the attenuation control should enable a high voice quality, preferably also an operation which hardly differs from a full-duplex operation.
  • This object is achieved by a device having the features specified in claim 1. Further developments are specified in the subclaims.
  • a development of a first aspect relates to a device for damping control comprising:
  • an attenuation control unit which controls the attenuation of the signals, and / or b) an echo canceller unit which is coupled to the transmission branch with an input or output.
  • control unit controls the damping and / or in variant b) the echo compensation as a function of the position of the device.
  • the first aspect is based inter alia on the following considerations. If the device is in a convenient location, eg. B. standing, operated, a decoupling is inserted, which might not be necessary for this positioning under certain circumstances. Due to the additional decoupling the intercom is worse than for this situation actually required. Similar to this situation then, for example, the transmission and reception frequency responses in the respective layers, z. B. standing or lying, different and affect the hands-free may negative.
  • the position of the device is taken into account by the damping control.
  • the position can be transmitted manually to the damping control unit, for example by pressing an input key.
  • the position is detected by means of a sensor.

  • the layers which are possibly not required are used, for example, for other purposes.
  • a position sensor at two outputs or at three outputs respectively supplies a voltage level suitable for the acceleration value in the relevant axis or a pulse-pause or pulse-width-modulated output signal which is output via a port or an analog / digital converter.
  • the two or the three signals are also multiplexed in one embodiment by means of a multiplexer unit to only one output signal.
  • the read out values of the position sensor are preferably averaged so that lower movements of the device do not lead to the switching of the parameter sets for different layers.

  • the microphone used is, for example, an electret microphone.
  • the device also includes an electro-acoustic transducer unit, which is arranged at the end of a second transmission branch of the device.

Moreover, it is hardly noticeable to the talking party on the other side when speaking that some frequencies are missing in the retransmitted speech signal.

  • the invention also relates, according to a development of a second aspect, to a device which contains a control unit and a detection unit for detecting the position of the device.
  • the control unit switches off the device or a subunit of the device or into a power-saving mode, depending on a signal coming from the detection unit.
  • this device is closely related to the device of the first aspect, in particular if a position sensor is also used in this case. In particular, both functions can also be realized in one device.
  • the second aspect is based inter alia on the consideration that the lighting of a device should be activated as soon as the device is moved or, for example, as soon as the device is set up. In the rest position z.

  • the lighting of the display or the display itself can not be completely switched off, but it is only switched to a power-saving mode, in which still has a certain readability. Of course, this power-saving mode also costs electricity, especially if the device is on the display and the lighting or the display can not be used in this case.
  • the illumination of the display or the display itself is switched off or darkened for reasons of power saving, a movement of the device should result in the lighting or the display itself being activated. However, the lighting or the display itself should even be switched off completely when the device is on the keyboard or the display.
  • the output signals of the position or acceleration sensor are read out and checked for a change. If a change is detected which exceeds a predetermined value, the evaluating processor, for example, switches the lighting or the display actively. If this function is to be used alone, a single-axis position sensor or a two-axis position sensor is sufficient. In comparison to the first aspect, therefore, a comparatively short averaging is performed via the output signals of the position sensor.
  • a development of another aspect of the invention relates to a device which also includes a control unit and a detection unit for detecting the position of the device. On the output side, the detection unit is again coupled to the input of the control unit. In addition, the device includes a signaling unit which signals a call arriving at the device. The control unit initiates the call acceptance depending on an output signal of the detection unit.
  • This third aspect too, is closely related to the other two aspects and can in particular re together with these in a device can be realized.
  • the third aspect is based on the consideration that a line or a radio channel is to be occupied in the case of an incoming call by recording the device. This function should be independent of the initial position of the device.
  • the output signals of the position sensor should, however, be averaged only short in order to quickly evaluate the change in acceleration or the change in position.
  • a method similar to detecting a movement for turning on a display unit could be used.
  • the reaction "evidence" must be made only when there is actually a call, d. h., When the device is called.
  • the evaluation therefore takes place only within a specific time window starting from the call in order to avoid incorrect assignments. For example, the end of the time window is, for example, at a maximum of 2 seconds after the last call signal. If this function is used alone, a two-axis position sensor or even a single-axis position sensor is sufficient.
  • the sensor units mentioned for the first aspect can be used.
  • high-end terminals in particular benefit from increased hands-free quality since only the decoupling that is absolutely necessary is inserted.
  • the intercom is less dampened in favorable positions than before.
  • an acoustic echo canceler or echo canceller a real full-duplex hands-free connection could be realized, in which both interlocutors are completely alike. entitled to speak without having to give up good volume.

  • the curve 154 corresponds to the curve 114, which has already been explained with reference to FIG. This means, in particular, that the curve 154 applies to a telephone 10 that is stationary.
  • frequencies in the upper frequency range from about 2 kilohertz to 3.5 kilohertz, are more strongly attenuated than frequencies in the frequency range from 300 hertz to 2 kilohertz. This means that speech is output duller from the speaker 72, compared to the language spoken by the B-subscriber.
  • FIG. 7 shows in a coordinate system KS6 a filter frequency response 164 which corresponds to that of a high-pass filter, frequencies in the frequency range from 200 Hz to 2000 Hz being attenuated more than frequencies in the range from 2 kHz to 4 kHz.
  • the coordinate system KS6 has an x-axis 160, on which in turn the frequency f is shown on a logarithmic scale. On a y-axis 162, the attenuation value is shown in dB, with the value 0 dB being highlighted.
  • FIG. 8 shows in a coordinate system KS7 a frequency response 174 which results from the superimposition or addition of the curve 154 and the curve 164.
  • the coordinate system KS7 has an x-axis 170, on which the frequency f is shown on a logarithmic scale. On a y-axis 172, the acoustic level L is also shown on a logarithmic scale.
  • the curve 154 increases continuously up to a value M, for example about 600 hertz. Then the curve 174 remains approximately constant at the value M up to 4 kilohertz.
  • frequency response corrections for a standing telephone 10 can be carried out with the aid of the filter unit F3 and for a lying telephone, in which case the filter unit F4 is used.
  • FIG. 9 shows, in another example, a position-dependent display driver.
  • a control unit 200 for example with a processor or without a processor, evaluates an output signal 202 of the position sensor 20. If the control unit 200 detects that the display 16 is down is directed, the display 16 is turned off or alternatively switched to a power-saving mode. If the control unit 200 detects with the aid of the position sensor 20 that the telephone 10 has stopped again or has been turned over so that the display 16 is visible, the display 16 is activated, see arrow 204, ie the display 16 is switched on again brought the power-saving mode (stand-by). Instead of the display 16, a backlight can be controlled accordingly.
  • the display 16 consumes 3 to 10 milliamps in the standby mode. At full control of the display 16 and the display illumination, however, 6 to 20 milliamps are needed.
  • FIG. 10 shows a third exemplary embodiment with a position-dependent call acceptance control.
  • a control unit 210 receives from the position sensor 20, an input signal 212.
  • the control unit 210 receives an incoming call signaling, see arrow 214.
  • the control unit 210 causes via the speaker 72 or in other ways the output of a call signal.
  • the position sensor 20 is monitored. Once the location of the phone 10 is changed beyond a threshold, the controller 210 automatically accepts the call. This action is symbolized by an arrow 216.
