Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mobile terminal for data transmission over a wireless transmission link, in particular a mobile telephone for telecommunications via a communication network, comprising a touch-sensitive screen ("touch screen") for displaying various arrangements, wherein an arrangement comprises respectively control elements and / or information displays, wherein the The terminal may in this case have a plurality of operating modes characterized by different such arrangements
  • the invention also relates to a method for operating such a terminal.
  • the data packets may include, for example, text messages ("SMS"), pictures and / or media files (“MMS").
  • SMS text messages
  • MMS media files
  • a usable also in a mobile phone touch screen is known in which a three-dimensional extended active surface area has at least one protruding or lowered portion to give the user tactile feedback information when the user slides an object, such as a fingertip over it.
  • These projecting or lowered portions are in particular U-shaped, for example in the form of a rib or a groove, so that they stand out as an obstacle, clearly and noticeably, from the adjacent, planar residual surface of the active surface area. The sweeping of this perceived as a relatively sharp-edged obstacle obstacle local survey of the screen leads to the desired feedback information. An intuitive operation of the device is not achieved by these U-shaped areas of the screen.
  • US 2003/0214612 A1 likewise discloses a screen which can be used in a mobile telephone, which is constructed from a plurality of individual layers which are held together by a structural element in such a way that they can shift relative to one another in order to obtain a flexibly deformable screen ,
  • This flexibility of the screen is to avoid additional protective elements, which are required for rigid screens with glass or rigid plastic in order to avoid damage as possible.
  • One of the layers may include a touchscreen element.
  • a touch-sensitive screen which is provided with three-dimensional elevations, which deform noticeably elastically upon actuation, thereby giving the user a tactile feedback on the operation. Due to the deformation of the local elevations, a kind of "cracking-frog effect" is created, so that not only a tactile, but also an acoustical input confirmation takes place.
  • the diameter of the individual surveys serving as keys should be on the order of a fingertip up to 1 mm, the keys should also be able to be felt without visual contact.
  • This touch-sensitive screen can be used with an input device for the Internet or a ticket vending machine.
  • DE 102 13 749 A1 discloses a touchscreen which can be used, inter alia, in mobile communications, the display of which is formed from organic light-emitting elements (OLED) which are arranged on a carrier film. Due to the flexibility of the film, this also results in a flexibly formable screen with which, for example, even curved display surfaces can be achieved. Due to its structure free of glass, it is also characterized by a thin design and low weight. In particular, with this OLED technology, flexible displays can be provided which yield elastically under pressure so as to simulate pressure points of switches.
  • OLED organic light-emitting elements
  • Object of the present invention is to propose a mobile terminal of the type mentioned, which facilitates the operation by at least for individual functions, the type of operation the user regardless of a graphical representation on the screen is suggested, so that the execution of these functions can be initiated in an intuitive way. Furthermore, a corresponding method for operating such a terminal should be specified.
  • the touch-sensitive screen has a curvature or bend around at least one axis in at least one subregion.
  • the curvature of the screen can be convex or concave.
  • several vaults can merge into each other.
  • the surface design may advantageously dictate certain ways of sweeping the screen surface to trigger, for example, the dispatch of a message or a call.
  • the operation follows almost automatically the form of the touch-sensitive screen of the terminal and is thus executed intuitively. Overall, this leads to an increase in the attractiveness and the "fun factor" of the type of terminals.
  • the screen has an at least approximately uniform curvature or bending, which extends over at least half of the screen surface.
  • Uniform means here that the radius of the curvature or bending over its entire extent is at least approximately constant.
  • the curved or curved areas of the screen in contrast to prior art embodiments, are not perceived as an obstacle when sweeping, but they support the intuitive operation of the terminal with a uniform surface design.
  • a particularly pleasing and moderate surface finish for sweeping the screen can be achieved by having the radius of curvature or bend at least as large as the shortest side of the screen.
  • the radius is at least half the size of the long side of the screen.
  • the screen is made rigid with a layer of glass or of a rigid transparent plastic. Due to the non-flexible design of the screen, the terminal always retains its original shape and the support thereby achieved in the intuitive operation. Preferably, it is proposed to convexly bulge the screen downwards along the longitudinal direction of the terminal, so that the terminal practically drops off to the rear.
  • the longitudinal direction extends in an upright screen display (portrait mode) in the vertical direction.
  • the curvature advantageously extends around one or more axes which run parallel to the transverse direction, wherein the transverse direction runs in the horizontal direction in the case of an upright screen display (portrait mode).
  • the screen is curved only in its upper part or in a region remote from the user.
  • the support for the user can be further improved by the fact that the surface of the screen overlaps the display area of the screen on at least one side seamlessly with a connection area, so that the connection area takes the shape of the surface design of the screen and continues harmoniously outwards.
  • the screen is at least predominantly located on an upper side of the terminal, it is furthermore particularly advantageous if at least one
  • Screen bounding edge is closer to the bottom than to the screen
  • Top is located.
  • the top of the terminal is to be distinguished from the upper part of the screen.
  • the area of the screen located at the top in the representation of the arrangements in the user's hand is curved convexly toward the underside of the terminal such that the convexity gives the user the impression of an open horizon. It is also particularly advantageous if the terminal has an operating mode for sending data packets, wherein a transmission of a data packet from the terminal to a selectable receiving address by an action of a user can be triggered, comprising a sweeping of the screen along a predetermined curvature of the screen.
  • the recipient area defining the receiving address of a person or a group of people is assigned, which is stored in a, in particular in the terminal existing phone book file. Then, with regard to an intuitive operation, it is further advantageous if, as far as possible, self-explanatory and immediately recognizable data are displayed in a receiver area whose position is indicated or defined by the shape of the screen surface. It is particularly advantageous if an image of the person or persons is stored in connection with the receiving address, which can be displayed in the recipient area. The sender then has the picture of the recipient directly in front of his eyes.
  • One particular way to address the sender's positive sentiment is to mark the file sent by a symbol wandering on the screen from the sender area to the recipient area, and more particularly along a camber of the screen surface, so that the sender sees his message and her can look afterwards.
  • the symbol moving beyond the receiver area and the edge of the screen leaves the impression of flying away.
  • the impression of flying away can be emphasized even more clearly by graphic means, for example by a changing shadow, by reducing dimensions of the symbol and / or by playing with the speed of movement.
  • the feeling is significantly increased if the symbol ("Icon") has a "speaking” character or even “lives.”
  • the Text message to be symbolized with the icon of a letter In the simplest case, the Text message to be symbolized with the icon of a letter. The shipping of this letter would “live” if the icon would change shape, giving the impression of flattem, for example, but the icon could also be related to the content of the letter, such as sending a piece of music through a flying disc A love message would be classically symbolized with a flying heart, with an unpleasant content rather being sent with a symbolized bomb.
  • the transmission could be organized so that the message with the respective symbol also arrives at the receiver.
  • the arrival of the message can be animated on the terminal of the recipient effectively supported by the shape of the screen surface.
  • the inventive method for operating a terminal of the type described above suggests in a corresponding manner that quite generally for triggering a specific function of the terminal, the screen is swept with a finger in one direction, which is predetermined by the shape of the surface of the screen.
  • the function that can be triggered is not restricted to the dispatch of data packets. In particular, it can also trigger a call.
  • Figure 1 a first embodiment of a mobile phone according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 each show a mobile terminal for data transmission via a wireless transmission link, namely a mobile telephone 1 for telecommunication via the GSM network.
