A device for improving the robotic and reminder features of a telephone device 5.

The invention relates to a method and a device for improving the robotic and reminder properties of the telephone device 100 according to the preamble of claim 1. In particular, the invention relates to mobile and car communication devices, which can also send picture and text messages and data. However, a telephone device is understood to mean telephones in all their forms of use, such as so-called. landline telephones, and also telephone exchange parts, in particular telephone exchange parts used to establish a service between a telephone and a telephone exchange service center.

The present invention can be generally compared to robotic telephones and / or to reminding the user to make and automatically dial a call. Although the invention encompasses a wide variety of applications, it is particularly suited for use in mobile and automotive communications, and is particularly described in this context. Alternatively or additionally, the system is constructed as an accessory for a landline telephone and / or as a service provided by a telephone operator and operated by means of central equipment 20. From the description of the invention, it will be understood which parts are required for the accessory or features of the landline telephone or the central equipment of the telephone operator.

Background, Ring Reminder, Alarm Center Alert: 25 For example, US-5, 625, 683 discloses a ring reminder, but not a complete auto-call programmed directly without the additional command of the keys at the time of the call. Also, inventions known from various burglar and fire alarms before an event such as fire breaking or burglary triggered robotic phone features, in which the phone makes an automatic call to the alarm center, have not brought the robotic features into ordinary phones. Thus, said inventions have not provided ease of use in normal everyday life, although the importance of robotic features for the user is often very significant. The importance of robotic phone features is emphasized when it is necessary to connect and 2 when it comes to saving time and effort. ^

Background: Repeat

When a regular call is dialed by hand or by speed dialing, it is often said that the number 5 is busy or that the other end is not answering right now. Some mobile stations may be pre-set to immediately or almost immediately redial, for example, automatically. However, even if the connection is not established despite several attempts to make a call, for example 10 consecutive calls, there is an unnecessary amount of time during which the phone has to concentrate excessively. This is because it is difficult to monitor the progress of a call while doing other things, for example, when the phone is in a belt, on a desk or in a pocket, because the headset tones of that phone are not amplified to facilitate call progress. For example, in a typical cellular phone model, only low volume tones of normal volume and a bar on the screen of the phone are associated with call progress. However, in this case, patience is put to the test when the telephone 15 needs to be given fairly undivided attention as the autoplay process progresses, i.e., for example, to hold the telephone in its ear and / or monitor the screen to know whether the call is connected or not. Often, it would also be advantageous to choose a longer call interval between call attempts than the standard time, for example from the default phone menu when using auto-dial.

Get rid of other tasks from tireless monitoring of your phone.

By knowing yourself to be near the phone or carrying the phone, the present invention can properly relieve you of other tasks. possible connection of a pre-confirmed automated call while waiting or relaxing as call progress 15 is easy to track. It is also easy to drive and follow a call, even if you do not have special hands-free equipment connected to your phone and your phone is in your pocket or belt, for example, during auto-ring attempts. The robotic telephone of the present invention often makes frustrating call attempts until the connection is established or it can be found that the connection is not available at that time. In addition, auto-play allows I ««, •; ' The 20 remembers to make a call at a certain time or after a certain time, and can choose whether the call is fully t 4 · ·: · automatically or configured so that the call needs to be confirmed in order to leave, e.g.

. . A reminder feature and a call to your voicemail service will let you know or remind you of 25 day activities.

Further, the telephone can serve as a reminder of something such as a time of departure, a job to be done, or a thing to be done, or a reminder of the time and time of taking a particular medicine that is displayed on the screen. A call made automatically • by the phone at a time can also be routed to the number of your own voice messaging server. These 30 numbers can be left, for example, by yourself, a secretary, a business partner or a family member. . a voice message that informs or reminds you, for example, at a specific point in time, about newly confirmed issues of the day. For example, the wife may have agreed last night to leave a * · message to her husband about this appointment, the time or place of which will be confirmed at 4,110,465 only the next day at noon. He himself is hard to reach by phone the next day. The man had already programmed his phone the previous night to call the next day at 1.30 pm, which his wife has so far left a message to confirm the date and place. These are some of the essential objects of the invention.

Message Sending Feature:

In addition, the phone can automatically send a text message stating that a connection has been or is being attempted. This is particularly important when, for example, the recipient is in a conference 10 and cannot answer the call but is able to read text messages. In addition to text messaging, you can send an audio message through a new type of messaging service.

Observation voices:

The loudspeaker in the handset of the robotic phone of the present invention includes 15 so-called auto-amplified calls. ringing tone, that is, an alarm tone if the phone rings in a device that is automatically called. If the telephone to be called is busy, the handset will hear the normal so-called "phone call" as confirmed by the call attempts series. a busy signal. At the next call attempt, the signal may change to an alert signal to be answered, ': 1 because the person being called has completed their previous call. Thus, the phone user can | · 20 monitor sounds and robotic phone activity while he / she is free to target ..: other issues such as driving a car.

The person's response vote is initially confirmed:

The handset tones, such as busy or alarm signals, as well as the initial tone of the 25, for example, when the connection is established, are amplified somewhat to improve loudness during the automatic operation, as will be seen in the course of the description of the invention.

Phone Preferred Functions: · The phone described here gives an audible signal and rings at a certain point in time, automatically 30 or, alternatively, asks you to confirm at the time of call that • · the call has been terminated. Alternatively, the phone emits an audible signal and reminds, for example, of the display.

by means of a text, number, image or '' symbol entered into the memory means by means of a keyboard and processor means, or a combination of said information, for example, it is time to take a particular medicine or to go to a specific meeting etc. The processor of the telephone 100 includes memory circuits and software logic.

Figure 14 shows a one-time, regular * · "wake-up call with one setting, which takes into account the weekday-related wake-up time, and provides a reminder 110465 7 shortly after, for example, to take medicine or rush to work. Figure 16 shows the recorder activation function of Figure 2F at the beginning of the auto call.

1A, 1B, 1C, ID, IE and 1F illustrate, inter alia, a base case 101 rotatably attached to a top case 103 However, the invention may work equally well in a unitary telephone having a loudspeaker above the display in the same case (not shown). Both housings 101, 103 have electronic circuits. The base case 101 has a projection through the front surface as a port for the microphone 107, a keypad 108 having access keys 109, 10 which can refer to any key, and a display 111. The upper case 103 has a projection with a plurality of openings in the front surface for speaker 105.

Phone 100 may make various choices from logic 223 memory 207 to guided output to display 111, and for each of the steps described, 15 will not be shown, or it will be mentioned explicitly that the step will also be associated with guidance information on display 111 if otherwise apparent to the skilled person. In addition, it is considered a clear premise that the user makes choices with input data provided via keyboard 108, whereupon a repetitive Detailed explanation which repeatedly or more specifically refers to the use of the keyboard and also the principle of operation e.g. logic circuits 223, memory 207 • 20, and program code interact to some extent to avoid. This feature is _ # | The purpose is to slightly reduce non-essential information related to the broad field of the invention.

Keyboard: * · Keyboard 108 can have a 10 numeric keypad with control keys such as power 25, send and end, plus yes and no key and / or confirm now? yes the command key. In addition, the keypad may have one rocker type scroll key to move forwards or backwards, or alternatively two »| a separate scroll key, one forwards and one for reverse. The last one · · scroll keys or two separate scroll keys are used in the so-called.

In addition, the keyboard may have so-called. a selection key that can be executed, for example, by scrolling through a selected command or a program selectable command. Preferably, the display 111 then names, for example, a letter-changeable soft key command that can be executed by the soft key at any one time, controlled by program code and logic circuits 223, such as 5 select, call, EXIT and OK and / or yes and no. valid, do you confirm now? yes, do you confirm the speakerphone call? Yes.

Alternatively, said selection key may instead of, for example, the above-mentioned power on, send and end keys, and replace, for example, the said three keys.

10 In this case, one selection key can be used to perform eg. programming code and logic circuits 223 using a variety of functions such as sending a send command and a END command during a call with the same key. In addition, the use of the scroll key and the selection key together can, in a known manner, provide access to various selection situations. For example, you can select the clock settings with the Select command. The clock 15 settings can be used to change the time to change the time with the keypad.

Further, the correct time can be confirmed eg with ok command. For example, when the screen tells you an unverified call, you can specify whether to confirm the now-yes command while the call is proceeding, or scroll to confirm whether you are now confirming a no-call command. In addition, the keyboard may ... Clear key to erase incorrect data or keystrokes and / or skip to the beginning • *:: 20 reverses the previous command, eg in main and submenus.

110465 9 differs from Fig. 2A mm. such that it shows two lines 21a1a and 211c instead of one line 211. Further, the nonvolatile memory 207 and the transceiver 203 are coupled to the control circuit 209 via respective lines 219, 221. The control circuit 209 is associated with a clock 227, which can be set and maintains the correct time, the logic circuits 223 and the battery 225, 5, which continuously supply the clock 227 and the logic circuits 223 with power. The electrical diagram of Figure 2C further shows a timer 228 which allows the timer 227 to be wholly or partly timed as a separate function e.g. call intervals, etc. Figure 2B shows a calculator 229 for counting, for example, call attempts. Figure 2D shows both a timer 228 and a counter or, more specifically, a counter 229. Figure 2E shows a particularly 10 watertight protection around some parts, as well as two counters 229a and 229b, a timer 228a and 228b, two clock devices 227a and 227b, and two memories 207a. 207b. The nonvolatile memory 207b is coupled to the control circuit 209 via its own line 221b.

Operational control.

The program code includes instructions executed by control circuits 209, and in particular logic circuitry 223, which is located in memory. In response to commands and data input from keypad 108, as well as information received from signals received by antenna 201 and transceiver 203, control circuit 209 controls the operation of radiotelephone 100 in accordance with this information.

The above hold command will be replaced in the alternative action structure do you confirm now? yes with a command that is then used for example in two contexts. As the explanation progresses, it will be seen that 5 separate hold keys or key combinations used only for steps 318 and 3 19, but not for step 3 11 d, can be used to distinguish between the two concepts of said two commands. yes by command. When said hold function key or key combination is pressed in relation to steps 318 and 319, the headphone tones from the speaker 105 are muted to the volume used in conventional telephone ear-to-ear communication and the earpiece is more comfortable to lift to the ear.

Microphone sound amplification in Figure 2B:

Figure 2B shows a more advanced solution than that shown in Figure 2A. In the solution of Figure 2B, current impulses to be converted into sounds are routed back from the microphone 107 to the receiving end during normal calls along line 211a in the usual manner, without amplification, e.g. instead of transponder 203. At the beginning of the automatic call, before the call is confirmed, for example, hold or confirm now? yes, the commanding key or key combination, the current impulses generating voice at the receiving end pass amplified along line 211c », · through amplifier 211b e.g. to the transceiver 203 and e.g. to the receiver end »», | 20 people. This makes it easier for the receiving end to hear what the user of the phone 100 is saying when one of the following factors works simultaneously.

The M t · * 1. voice channel is programmatically opened and a voice connection is established.

* · * * · * The front portion of the phone 100 as a port for microphone 107 through port 2 is still far away from the mouth of the user 100 of the phone.

25 3 -Confirm now? yes, the hold command command key or the like has not yet been pressed, whereby the logic circuits 223 control current flow through amplifiers 21 Ib and 213b in accordance with the instructions contained in the program code.

»» '' Operation of Telephone 100 and User at Start of Autoplay: 30 The logic circuits 223 best control the busy or alert tone (or e.g. fax or queuing) signal and voice call from another telephone combined with the flow of response 213c via amplifier 213b, or at the beginning of a call attempt when it is necessary to amplify the sounds from the headset 105 I> 110465 11. This helps to monitor the progress of the call when the headset is not already in your ear, or alternatively, for example, when a data connection is pending. If the call proceeds so that the call is heard at the other end of the answering machine, at least in a more sophisticated solution than FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B may say something that said answering machine hears at amplified amplifier 211b. from the mouth of the user. For example, when the phone 100 has been taken out of its storage place, e.g., from the desk, press first hold or do you confirm it now? Yes, the command key or the key combination, and then the earpiece (105) is lifted to your ear.

The top case 103 is shaped in such a form or length that it does not over-obstruct and dampen the passage of voice through the front surface as a port for the microphone 107 portion of the phone or away from the loudspeaker 105. This allows you to monitor the progress of the auto-call and initiate an auto-call even if the top case 103 is flipped to protect the keypad.

The solution may be implemented, for example, by having a concave and / or shorter portion 110 at the top housing 103 which provides for sound entry into microphone 107 and exit from loudspeaker 105. This allows the passage 110 to leave a gap or opening in front of the microphone and the port opening toward the openings leading to the loudspeaker 105. The solution of Fig. IB further shows curved oblique passages through the upper case or straight piercings or openings 112 and 113. Said openings facilitate the passage of sound through the upper case e.g. at an angle of about 60-120 degrees in a direction other than the aperture 110. the telephone 100 is transported, the apertures being made at the corresponding points'. · · At microphone 107 and speaker 105 for easier sound separation. In phones without a keypad hinged over the keypad (103), access to the microphone and sound from the loudspeaker 25 are more easily accomplished by themselves. Thus, the device is characterized in that the top case 103, if any, does not completely cover the microphone 107 and the speaker 105, or that. . the top housing 103 has at least one opening for conducting sound from the outside to the microphone 107 or the speaker 105 to the outside at the beginning of the automatic call.

30 Operation of the telephone 100 by the recipient and the telephone 100 user headset. . to suppress.

Do you hold on to that or do you confirm it now? Yes, when the command key or key combination is pressed, the instruction contained in the program code, whose control circuits 209 and 110465 12, in particular the logic circuitry 223 associated with memory 207 execute in response to said key command, changes said stream to line 213a in amplifier 213a. In this case, the speaker 100 of the user 100 of the telephone 100 is muted. Similarly, in the solution of Fig. 2B, the instruction contained in the program code 5 control circuits 209, and in particular logic circuit 223 associated with memory 207, executes in response to e.g. hold key command, changes current from microphone 107 to antenna 203 by amplifier 211b instead of unassisted line 211c. past amplifier 211b. This will also dampen the recipient's headphones. Further, in Fig. 2B, the headphone tones are controlled in response to e.g. hold a key command along line 213a past amplifier 213b as in Fig. 2A, whereby the user 100's own headphone tones from the loudspeaker 105 are attenuated.

Confirm Speaker Call Function:

Fig. 2B thus shows, in addition to amplifier 213b, amplifier 211b in one of the two microphone lines 211a and 211c. With reference to Fig. 2B, the auto call gain may be made by the selection alternatives to the foregoing, so that the audio streams continue to flow along lines 211c and 213c through amplifiers 21bb and 213b. In this case, for example, telephone 100 may best be kept open by top case 103 on a table in the room, whereby telephone 100 may function as a speakerphone. Correspondingly, a phone with no top case j (: 20 (not shown)) only places the keypad with the screen facing up, i.e. in a natural position e.g.

on the table. In this selection, the choice to confirm the speakerphone call or the like * · "· causes the power to continue to flow from the microphone 107 through line 211c via amplifier 211b to '... transceiver 203 instead of line 211a. via the amplifier 213b, the command to confirm a loudspeaker call made by pressing the required key or key combination preferably maintains the call so that the call is not disconnected, in this sense responding to an automatic pre-confirmed call • * e.g., holding a key or key combination. · Best confirmed by any call.

30th . Hearing Protection Components on Phone 100 to Protect Speaker:

Preferably, the amplifier 213b or the interaction ratio between the amplifier and speaker 105 has a damping component or feature. Such a property or component is e.g.

110465 13 a filter circuit for cutting current and / or voltage peaks that would exceed a certain decibel limit if said peaks were not attenuated when repetitively converted to loudspeaker 105. A component such as a coil and / or a capacitor and / or filter or combination thereof (not shown), 5 is preferably disposed between amplifier 213b and loudspeaker 105.

Hearing protection components to protect the other party:

Preferably, the second amplifier 211b also has a component or feature such as e.g. a filter circuit capable of cutting peaks in current and / or voltage passage that exceed 10 certain decibel limits converted to sound vibration when reproduced from the receiver's loudspeaker. The latter component, such as alternatively for the filter circuit e.g. coil and / or capacitor and / or filter or a combination thereof (not shown), is preferably positioned between the amplifier 21 Ib and the transceiver 203. In each of said structures, the audio frequency signal traveling along line 213c and / or 211c is preferably amplified until the final desired level is reached, but no more than a certain upper limit set for hearing protection.

Difference between the present invention and a reminder of US-5,625,683 and prior art automatic redialing.

Preferably, auto-dialing can be selected to occur automatically, unlike the ringing reminder described in .30110465 15 US-5, 625,683, at least when the person using the phone knows himself to be near the phone or, for example, to carry a mobile phone. He does not want the telephone 100 merely to remind him to call and to retrieve the number, as described in US-5, 625,683. He also does not want to leave the call to memory only and then first manually select whether or not to establish a connection from which the telephone's auto-dial feature could continue if no connection is made, as with some known devices with auto-dial features. Instead, he directly programmed the telephone 108 using the keypad 108 to make an automatic call at a particular time, without first attempting to dial manually or by dialing.

10 Freely selectable redial using the present invention:

Alternatively, he has already tried to dial another phone, for example, by speed dial or by fully manual key selection, but that phone is busy or does not answer. In this case, he can program the auto-call to leave the telephone 100 again at a time of his choice at 15 moments, at intervals of his own choosing. He makes selections on keyboard 108 and best on display 111 from memory 207 using logic circuits 223 at a time of his choice in the menu he is searching for, much like he would do a completely new auto-dial. She also knows she's not going to turn off the phone right away.

• 20 Auto-Dial Selection 1 .:: 'For example, when the phone he is trying to reach is busy, he may decide to ring again after a certain time. Alternatively, he decides to call at a specific time, for example: 'when he thinks he will best reach that person. Then he dials 100

Alternatively, in a differently constructed telephone device 100, he selects the auto-dial '1 · mode of operation from the telephone's function menu, for example by using the on and off keys 108 on the keypad 108. For example, the Yes and No keys can be replaced and / or supplemented with e.g. OK

Selecting Autodial 2: · Further, using keypad 108, he dials the time and phone number, for example, by dialing 11C465 16 or by using a list stored in the phone 100 from the phone 100 memory 207 to display the telephone number and the corresponding name. Alternatively, he / she also keyes in the number 109 and, if desired, the associated name information using the keys 109. During the preparation of the telephone 100 auto-dial, he presses a confirmation key or key combination in advance to make the telephone 100 perform an auto-dial. The call will then proceed from step 311a to step 31b of the operating process at the selected time, and the phone 100 will automatically make a call without asking you to confirm now.

More conventional auto-dial.

10 By making a call where the telephone 100 immediately dials again when the first call made by, for example, dialing itself has failed, without the longer technically required call intervals, the user of the telephone 100 receives a function similar to that of some telephones . Here, too, tracking of the call flow is easier with these known devices e.g. for the reasons outlined above, which makes it easy to track the sound and call progress of a speaker 105. Here, too, he might want to go to step 402 of Figure 10B, pre-confirm the "yes" option, and then select the most appropriate default call intervals using steps 333 and 334, and choose whether or not to send the message (described later).

From reminder to pre-confirmed.

The reminder function can be converted into a pre-confirmed call, for example, if the connection is not established by the first attempt or even by another attempt, which could not be done on previously known devices. This can be done by pressing the required pre-confirmation key or 5 key combinations. An example of this can be seen in the operation process 300d2 of FIG. 10B, in which step 402 is pre-validated and accessed through list 400 of other settings and options. This will be returned as the description of the invention progresses.

5A of the partial operation process 300B.

10 The operation process of the telephone 100 is illustrated in diagram 300a, which will be explained later. In the more complex operation process of the preferred embodiment, illustrated in the drawing 5A in the flowchart 300b, which also returns as the description of the invention progresses, the reminder 111 is alternatively displayed instead of a telephone number and a possible name. The user of the telephone 100 can also press the "matter reminder" key or a combination of keys 15 to select a reminder function from the menu and type a reminder that will be displayed 111 at the time of his or her choice without being accompanied by a call reminder. This will be explained with reference to steps 401a, 401b of Figure 10B later. When a reminder doesn't include a phone number that you keyed in or highlighted in the memory menu, you can't - do you confirm now? Yes, press to resume playing. The latter reminder; : 20 is associated with, for example, the aforementioned reminder of a medicine or thing.

3A is a flow chart operation process 300a.

A method of operating and operating a radiotelephone constructed as described above will now be described with reference to Fig. 3A, wherein the flowchart illustrates the operation of a radiotelephone as a process 300a which may e.g. to make various choices in accordance with the present invention. 5 The other flow charts below show e.g. options, additions and additions to this process.

Steps 301-307 to verify handset opening.

The process of operation at its simplest follows the process of operation 300a according to the selection alternatives. As the description of the invention progresses, alternative more complex processes will be disclosed. Process 300a begins at step 301. Logic circuitry 223 periodically scans reserved addresses in memory 207 to determine if there is a telephone number stored for making or recalling a call (step 303.) When no telephone number is found, the process returns to the beginning. Once the telephone number is found, the logic circuits 223 determine whether the current time is equal to or greater than the ring time (step 305). When the time has not passed the pre-confirmed call time or call reminder reminder time, the process returns to the beginning. When the current time is greater than or equal to the pre-set call time or call reminder time to> ': to ensure that the auto-ring is not started or the call is not reminded while the user is already in or out, logic circuits 223 to see if the handset is open (step 307). When the handset is open, the process continues to check whether the handset is open.

'... Steps 308-309b Alarm and Power On.

'· When the handset is closed, the logic circuits 223 cause the alarm device to emit from the loudspeaker 105 25 an alert tone that can be heard by a person (step 308). When, according to step 309a, the telephone 100 is off, the alarm tone, for example, with a beep tone, only indicates that it is time to make a call. This tone does not indicate whether the call is a pre-confirmed call or a call in accordance with the reminder function (or, in a more complex process, the reminder text). In this case, if the power is off, the user can hear the sound and turn on the power for 30 minutes to proceed. If the power is off, the program will continue. . checking if the power is on until the power is turned on or the time passes by step 309b '' in the off state.

19 110465

Step 309b when power is off.

For example, when the radiotelephone is off, for example, when the user is outside the area where the voice can be heard and therefore cannot know that action is required, or the user is inactive when he hears the sound and does not press the power key, whether the 5 pre-programmed time duration has expired (step 309b). The time duration can begin when the logic circuits 223 initially determine whether the radio is powered on. When the pre-programmed time has elapsed without turning on the radio, the ringing time is changed based on a set default time (step 327), such as 15 minutes from the ringing time in memory, and the process resumes. As a result, the speaker 10 emits a tone every 15 minutes until the user responds by pressing the radio on.

.Stage 310, Screen Display.

When the radio is on and the call time to the telephone number is found to be less than or equal to 15 minutes, the telephone number is displayed on screen 111 (step 310).

Branch Steps 311a-311b-311c.

* Preferably, the Ring Reminder label already appears on the display 111, or in advance; : 20 confirmed. Alternatively, the first identifier is affixed to the display 111 in step 311c and the identifier pre-confirmed in step 311b when the corresponding voice codes are played. The keys 109 on the keypad 108 either have a pre-set confirmation or then no pre-set when the telephone number is stored in the call memory. In step 311a ', logic circuits 223 checks from memory 207 whether a confirmation key or key combination 25 has been pressed in advance. In both cases, the telephone number to be dialed is further preferably displayed by step 310 as displayed on screen 111.

Pre-confirmed key pressed.

If the Confirm key or key combination on the keyboard 108 has been pressed in advance, the program will automatically continue in the "Yes" direction in step 311a in the instant without. , the user of the telephone at this stage touches the keypad 108. In this case, step 31 Ib is taken, and the telephone 100 makes a pre-confirmed telephone call from the speaker 105, i.e. a so-called. '·' The voice tag corresponding to the auto-dial. Mentioned, by means of a particular first ID or 110465 20 223, to the user, that the attempt to establish a connection begins by means of auto-dial. Thus, the start of the autodial is indicated by ringing the pre-confirmed number in step 311b in addition to displaying the number and preferably also the ringing time on the display 111. The caller selection may in practice be influenced, for example, by the operator 5 pricing program.

Ring tone for auto-dial.

The logic circuit 223 may, as an additional feature, attach a known unique identification tone to be associated with said telephone number, if one is set (not shown). The tone may, for example, closely resemble a melody associated with the ring tone of a call from that person, if one is stored in the memory 207, differing, for example, at the speed of the melody, e.g. With this ringtone, the phone user can already use their hearing senses to identify who or, alternatively, what type of person, such as a business person, family member, or close friend, will be dialing out without seeing 15 screens 111. This feature facilitates remembering and it is a very important aid for the visually impaired to outline the incoming call in advance.

The phone 100 user then has a phone 100 menu (e.g., part of list 400) where the phone user can select to which group or ringtone the telephone number is assigned (not shown). For example, when he or she recognizes a ringtone, he or she may decide not to react to the ringing reminder at this time and continue his or her chores, whereupon the ringing reminder will repeat itself after 10 pre-selected intervals, possibly at a more convenient time.

Adjust the speed of the ringtone.

fq.ro.-

In many melody playback devices, such as the clock on some battery-powered wall clocks, the playing speed of the melody slows down as the battery becomes weaker. Thus, when using callers of this kind with their respective characteristics, the ring rate of the cellular telephone 100 can be deliberately slowed down by decreasing the voltage of the current needed to produce the melody supplied to the caller device and / or reducing the current by means of a converter. It is best to use the highest or non-lowering voltage and / or maximum. Current in pre-amplified auto-play with the feeling of making a tune: 20 to create a creative melody as an indication that the auto-call may combine (step 311b). A slightly reduced voltage and / or a reduced or, i.e., a non-correct increase in voltage and suitable current is used for normal "incoming" calls to the telephone 100; '; For a 'right-rhythm and true-sounding tune'. Preferably, the most reduced voltage and / or lowest current is used in the call reminder functions to provide a slow rhythmic tone, since there is no rush to respond to the call, e.g. Alternatively, the velocity of the melody is controlled to achieve a corresponding purpose by the instructions contained in the program code executed by the control circuits 209, and in particular the logic circuitry f3 223 located in the memory.

Said sounds are best located in their non-volatile memory 207 in their own control unit for music and / or identification functions. The functions are not shown in the drawings.

5 Branch in step 31 Sat.

The operation process 300a has the following options at branch 311a: • 1. The user may have already pressed a key or key combination corresponding to the function of the confirm key in advance (step 31 IA), whereupon step 10 automatically proceeds from step 311a to step 311b.

• 2. When the user has not previously pressed a key or key combination that corresponds to the function of the pre-confirm key (for example, Fig. 10A, step 402), the operation automatically resumes on the "no" branch and the user can press 15 keys or key combinations to confirm key "action" command (step 31 Id). The handset then opens (Off hook function) and the logic circuits 223 cause the radiotelephone 100 to automatically twist the telephone number in memory (step 311 f).

20 · 3. In step 2 of Option 2, the user can select "no", and the call is canceled from that batch, and the process proceeds to step 3lie.

From step 31 le, the process comes to step 323, from which you can press dial 109 on the keyboard 108 to erase a number and time to call or recall (step 325) and return automatically to the beginning.

Steps 31 ld-3Ilf.

In step 31 Id, the handset can be opened mechanically by pressing a key (not shown). Alternatively, better, the "off hook" function, i.e. opening the handset, is performed in step 3 1 if the logic circuits 223 generates a programmatic response to the "109 now" keys, yes yes to the answer in step 31 lf after opening, dialing, that is, directing the telephone 100 to send the telephone number on the display 111 as a dial signal to the telephone connection, furthermore, the logic circuits 223 programmatically open the voice channel if a connection is established.

10

Steps 311a to 312 in a concise manner.

In step 311a of the first alternative, the user has previously confirmed the call, which information is stored as program code-processed instruction in memory 207 by pressing the advance-confirm key or key combination on keyboard 108. This process is shown in drawing 10B in step 402 of When the time has elapsed, when the time selected by the keypad 108 has elapsed, the logic circuits 223 cause the radiotelephone 100 to automatically perform the following operations, proceeding to step 31a and further to the "yes" direction to step 31b; ...: to play a pre-confirmed voice tag according to step 311b; then, according to step 312 20, to open the handset, i.e. the so-called. Off hook function; After the off hook function, automatically twist the telephone number in memory to initiate a call, i.e., I · · direct the telephone 100 to send the telephone number on the display 111 as a dial signal to the telephone connection and set a timer (step 313). The timer counts down how long the connection is attempted.

25

Steps 312-313.

In step 312, the logic circuits 223 generate an "off:" "hook" function according to the instruction attached to the program code. In step 313, the logic circuits 223 activate dialing, that is, directing the telephone 100 to send the telephone number on the display 111 as a dial signal - 30 to the telephone connection.

Alternative ways to accomplish the handset unlock feature.

The automatic opening and closing function of the handset can be implemented, for example, in 110465 24 landline telephones by any known means of burglar and fire alarms associated with burglar and fire alarms, for example by means of magnetic whereas the absence of the base current interrupts the 5 current flow through said transistor. Such a landline telephone device, which further preferably has a display and, more preferably, a processor for controlling operation, can operate in several ways as described in the present invention. In mobile devices, the handset opening and closing functions are best accomplished programmatically by means of integrated circuits, which may include, for example, user-programmable logic circuits and / or so-called. customer-specific ASIC logic circuits. Alternatively 10, for example, in mobile stations, logic circuits 223 can be applied to the base of at least one transistor by bearers, which provides current through at least one transistor, providing an "off hook" state, whereas lack of base current in turn provides an "on hook" state. The practical possibilities are numerous and will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

15 Steps 314-317d-317c.

In the next step 314, the logic circuits 223 check whether a connection has been established. If the connection was not established, the logic circuits 223 continue to check whether the connection was established. The check continues until the connection is established or the connection attempt time ends in step 315 because the time measurement started in step 313 • ··· 'expires. When the connection attempt time has ended without a connection being made, • ·: ·: In 20 steps, 316 increment the counter and close the handset using the software function. If the * * '* counter becomes full (step 317a), the process proceeds to step 317d, where the prior confirmation is removed and the process returns to the beginning. When the counter is not full, step 317b is set! '! timer to measure the interval between attempts to dial. In step 317c, it is checked whether the Call Attempt Interval has ended until said Call Attempt Interrupt is complete. After the call attempt interval 25 has elapsed, the handset is reopened in step 312 and an attempt is made to make the call again as described above, whereby the process starts again from step 312 and the above-mentioned "off hook" function is executed.

'Steps 314-320-322 .... 30 Once the connection is established, for example. Lifts the handset to call the other party and logic circuits 223.!.' generate a voice connection in step 314, the logic circuits 223 also control a specific tone to be heard from the loudspeaker 105 (step 318). The aforesaid beep, which is different from all other beeps, reminds the users of the phone 100 to press or hold the keypad 108 or confirm it now? Yes to the command key (109) or key combination to keep the call active (step 318). Step 318 further activates a timer 228, separate from clock 227, shown in Figure 2C, which counts down. Alternatively, the setting of the clock 227 is used to cooperate with the memory 207 such that, in addition to the call time, other necessary time measures, which are measured by the clock, are input into the memory 207.

Hold On, Step 319.

When the user presses before the time expires, do you confirm now? Yes or similar hold 10 valid keys (109) or key combination (step 319), the call continues. According to a preferred embodiment, he can furthermore make the call remain active by pressing the confirm speaker call key or a combination of keys. Pressing one of said keys and checking if that key is pressed occurs in step 319. Logic circuits 223 continue to check whether the time to press the key has expired until time 15 presses the key in step 320 or logic circuits 223 discovers that the key has been pressed and a call is made. remains in effect until the process continues to step 322, at which time the call ends.

• ·: Time to act ended structure.

* 20 This out-of-time structure may also be used in some selection operations, whereby the operation proceeds in a certain more likely manner if the user does not react in time (not shown). Such points can be, for example, steps 31 Id, '! 323, 324, and 328, 329, and 333 shown in Fig. 10A. When the operation has automatically or user-guided one of these steps, the operation proceeds non-branched when 25 presses of the key expire without pressing the key. This structure ensures, for example, the sending of a new tone (step 311c) to attract the user's attention when: '·, the progress of the call does not permanently stop, e.g., to step 311d.

'Step 318-32la.

.... 30 As per the reminder of step 318 Do you confirm now? Yes or in another alternative arrangement, pressing the hold key (step 319) changes, ·. at the same time, the current flow passes through the amplifier 213b along line 213a, whereby the sound at loudspeaker 105 is suppressed to a normal lower level. If the user of the telephone 100 does not press the required key (109), the time to press the key expires (step 320). This can happen if, for example, he has forgotten to carry the phone 100 with him, or when the phone 100, for example, has left the desk for a while, and the call is connected. Then step 32a1 and the handset 100 ("on hook" function) follow and the voice channel is closed by means of a software 5 function. In a landline device, for example, this is accomplished by, for example, switching off the handset by switching off the so-called electrical switch, for example. the magnetizing winding of the holding current of the clutch coil, whereby the ends of the switch open, or by ceasing to direct current to the base of the transistor, whereby the transistor ceases to conduct current resulting in a so-called. “Close the handset” function (“on hook” function), which also closes the voice channel.

10

Step 321b.

This is followed by step 321b, where the logic circuit 223 pre-clears the gain, and the process returns to the beginning. Hereby, the pre-confirmed call becomes an unconfirmed call which does not proceed beyond step 31 Id from the beginning A unless the user of the telephone 15 returns and confirms the call. This change process (step 321b) prevents self-repeating unnecessary playback. However, the person to be called may have received one such message stating that he or she is being approached if, for example, a mobile phone has been called. In that case, he or she is likely to see on his or her mobile phone screen who is reaching him or her, or from which phone number he or she is reaching. Returning to such a message will return: ·· 20 as the description of the invention progresses.

Step 319-322.

»! *! When the required key 109 on the keyboard 108 is pressed and the logic circuits 223 discovers this (step 319), the process proceeds in the "yes" direction and the call remains active. In step 322, the logic circuits determine whether or not the call is terminated until the call is terminated in the normal manner by pressing the required "end" key or combination of keys. In step 322, you can: '. alternatively, end the call from another direction at step 311 f, or an unsuccessful call attempt at step 311 f to press the "end" key. Because of this ... phone number and reminder are not automatically deleted, but the process proceeds to ·: ·· 30 steps 323 where logic 223 brings up 111 questions asking:. ·: Delete?

110465 27

Alternatively, the process is constructed as shown in Figure 3B as a partial operation process 300a 2. In said partial operation process 300a 2, the steps 319 in which the automatic call has already taken place and the key or the like has been pressed always follow its own verification step. In this verification step, step 322a checks whether the call 5 ended and continues checking until the call ends. At the end of the call, in step 321c, the information corresponding to the ended call is automatically deleted so that the call is no longer automatically repeated, nor does it change to a reminder mode because the call has already been completed once and the process returns. For example, when the call does not reach the right person, the decision to make a call reminder or automatic redial must be made as if the 10 decisions were completely new.

Focuses on steps 311a-313 of Figure 3A

When logic circuits 223 find out in step 311a that this is a number that has been pre-confirmed by pressing 15 on the keyboard 108 or a key combination when storing a number in the call memory, the process proceeds in the "yes" direction. In step 311b, the logic circuits 223 in the memory 207, in their own program block controlling the music and / or voice recognition function, fetches an audio identifier corresponding to a predetermined number stored in nonvolatile memory 207. Said voice ID is called from the loudspeaker 105. The handset is automatically opened after step 31 Ib (step 312).

i »20 In step 312, the logic circuits 223 generate an" off hook "function according to the instruction attached to the program code. In step 313, the logic circuits 223 activate dialing, that is, directing the telephone 100 to send the displayed telephone number 111 as a dial tone to the telephone connection.

25 Focusing on Steps 313.

The program code includes e.g. the instructions required to open the handset and start the countdown, which are executed by the control circuits 209, and in particular the logic circuit 223 associated with the memory 207.

Preferably, a clock 227 is used but: ', alternatively, a separate device such as a counter, a timer, a timer circuit or a counter device may be used. Figure 2C shows, in addition to clock 227, a timer 228 according to one of the above alternatives 28. 11C465

The countdown timer.

The timer may include a counter having a preloaded number, an RC circuit, or any other type of circuit that produces, for example, a signal or a current that lasts a certain amount of time. During this time, e.g., the active signal informs logic circuits 223, for example, through signal sensing elements, that the timing is in the manner in which the logic circuits are aware of this. Alternatively, logic circuits 223 detect said current flow.

10 Using the timer.

Alternatively, such a counter, timer, timer circuit or counter may be used to operate the clock device 227 at any point requiring a similar function. Examples of this are mentioned; steps 313-315 and 317b-317c; in steps 318-320; steps 309a-309b; 10A, 10B in the steps 333, 334 acting on the steps 317b, 317c 15; as an alternative to the hour and minute format in the devices available in steps 324, 326, 327 of FIG. 3A, 10A, or 10B; as a working device controlled by steps 329-330-332 or 333-334 of FIG. 10A, 10B, such a timer 228, or a clock device 207 may be used, e.g., when the call interval of an unconfirmed call is moved by a step,.]; 305 for the time being audited.

: .i 20 • * • ..: Timing and Step 305.

• * «·

Transmission such as the latter may also be used as a matter or call reminder or pre-confirmed call or reminder interval to advance the audited time of step 305 *. For example, the sequential activation of the timer switch of the timer 228 or of the timer function associated with the clock device 227 25 may result in the time period being multiplied by successive software or key triggers. In addition to the clock device., 227, the telephone 100 preferably has at least one timer 228 or two other devices, such as a timer or timer circuit, for measuring time.

• ».,. 30 Timeout in steps 318-320.

In the time count, e.g., steps 318-320 of Figure 3A, the time is counted down, for example. Timeout »t! for example, it will take 20 seconds until the handset closes at the end of the countdown (“on hook” function, step 321a) if the “hold” key or key combination according to step 319 is not pressed. In this case, the connection to the called telephone is disconnected (step 321a), and the call ends when the handset closes, whereupon the voice channel is closed and, for example, a missed voice connection is lost.

5 Steps 313-315 and Time.

The program that best uses the clock device 227, or alternatively e.g. the above-mentioned separate time-down counting device, performs a certain time count between steps 313 and 315, e.g., 30 seconds, after which the handset is on, if the call is not answered. According to the preferred embodiment, the on hook function can track 10 faster when the busy signal is detected by the telephone 100. In this case, the "handset closed" function (step 316) may follow, for example, within five seconds of receiving a busy signal, or as quickly as both the mechanism of operation of the telephone 100 and the user of the telephone 100 can become aware of it. It is good for the phone user to hear the busy signal to know why the call was not connected. This will be returned to as the description of the invention progresses.

Call reminder.

Saving a call reminder in the phone's memory is done in the same way as saving an autodial, except that in the case of an autodial, the "pre-confirm" key or key combination of step 311a is pressed. In addition to this, »» »I t ί.ί 20 is advantageous if t <i · ·! Selecting a call interval if you want to set a shorter or longer time than the default - s »« »with a default value of eg 10 or 15 minutes.

»» »• i 'Setting the ceiling time by the phone manufacturer.

It is advantageous for the telephone manufacturer to set a ceiling time, for example, eight hours, which is not accepted by the telephone code 100 for transmitting automatic calls. Such calls, for example, automatically change the program code to the "reminder" function even if the "advance": '' * confirmation 'key or key combination has been pressed, or, for example, indicate on the display 111 that: "shorten the time." The effect is best the same if the time is set directly to more than eight hours,,, 30, or if, together with the interval of one or more ring attempts, it goes more than * eight hours. It is also advantageous to set »»! t The upper limit specified by the phone manufacturer, eg ten times. This avoids the nasty situation where the user of the phone 100 no longer remembers which call is being connected or the phone is ringing 110465 forever.

Steps 314-32 Ib.

Step 321b Step 321b prevents a call from ringing and having to be answered again and again due to leaving a forgotten phone 100 if step 319 does not confirm that the "hold" key has been pressed for a specified period of time printed. In this case, the operation process starts from the beginning and ends up at 311d along the branch 311a-311c-311d. From step 311 d, the call will not proceed unless you press “confirm now? yes "- answer key or key combination 10 to connect the call (step 3 1 Id) or alternatively go to the necessary settings to make a new pre-confirmation so that the call proceeds to step 311b. The settings can be accessed, for example, through step 323a of Figure 10B, to be discussed later, by accessing list 400 of other settings and options.

15 Call Attempts Ceiling, Steps 317- 317d.

In accordance with the preferred embodiment, the call is automatically unconfirmed in advance even when the number of call attempts exceeds a set limit. This happens when the counter is full in step 317a, the incremented counter in step 316, e.g., ten '! times. After the logic circuits 223 have determined that the counter is full, the "yes" branch will be taken to step 20 317d, whereby the gain is removed beforehand and then proceeded to the beginning. Thus, for example, after ten attempts to make a call, the call .... changes to reminder mode and proceeds from the beginning, · *. without measures only to step 31 Id. This prevents the call from staying in the autoplay mode, for example, for more than the aforementioned 10 rings. Preferably, the words "ring reminder" remain on the display 111 until the reminder is reacted, for example, by deleting it in step 323 or 25 by selecting a new time reminder. Alternatively, the so-called. "Time out" - or "time out" structure. The intended structure is manifested by comparing and applying steps 318-321b so that the call returns to start repeating within the set time.

Retrieve or key in the information needed for an automatic call.

30 Press 111 on the display 111 to enter numbers or search for the required numbers: '· from the memory menus, such as the search functions of Fig. 13 in the partial operation process, 800 mm.

search, jump, and browse functions 708-810. You can also pick up numbers from speed dials, incoming calls, or outgoing calls. Thus, for the pre-confirmed call 110465 31, the name and / or number information required for that outgoing call is obtained, depending on how the complete information is to be entered or the complete information is entered into the memory 207 in said memory menus. The process of Figure 13 proceeds to the partial operation process 400 of Figure 12A, and from the partial operation process 400 of Figure 12A to the partial operation process 300d2 of Figure 10B, all of which will be returned as the description of the invention proceeds.

The display shows: Predefined (step 310 or 311b).

For a better understanding of the operation, it is necessary to return to Figure 10A again, which shows step 402 "pre-validation". In addition, the displayed numerical and / or name information 10 is preferably programmatically appended from memory 207, e.g., the message "Predefined" or alternatively, e.g., "call originates". The notification is displayed immediately in step 310 along with the name and number information, or only after the branching in step 31a is completed. In the latter case, the "Preassigned" message is associated with the name and number information of the display 111 when step 311b is executed to play a tone 15 associated with that step. Both methods are possible to implement e.g. by means of the instructions contained in the program code executed by the control circuits 209, and in particular the logic circuit 223 which is located in the memory.

· · Examples of display information, Unpredictable or Confirmed? (steps 310 and 20 3llb or 311c).

• An example of the display information is shown in Figure 1C display 111, where telephone 100 displays ,,, for example, name, telephone number, word combination "pre-confirmed", time and word to call while auto-dialing is in progress (step 311b in Figure 3A).

25 Another example:

In another example, in the case of the display 111 of FIG. 1A, the display shows that a pre-dialed number for your own voice messaging service is being dialed by phone 100 at 13.30.

: In this case, a connection is likely to be made, for example, to hear a recording of your own • • recording or a recording left by another person on the tape, such as the aforementioned confirmed ·; ·· '30 appointment times and venues. If, on the other hand, the "advance confirmation" key or, ··· 'key combination or the like has not been pressed, then the numeric and name information is preferably: a programmatically related notification associated with an acoustic signal associated with step 311c, including a prompt such as a call reminder or call please. A further 110465 32 examples of display 111 information are provided by an image IB display showing a reminder on the screen at 11:00 in the evening: Take the evening medicine XXX, 1 and the evening medicine XXJ, 2. This information relates, by way of example, to the regularly repeated reminder function shown, for example, in Figure 5A. (steps 310c to 1), which is also accompanied by a beep, which is 5 recognizable as a reminder sound. Again, these functions of the display 111 will return as the description of the invention progresses.

Signalointiäänien and the other party's response reinforcement.

With the handset lifted, i.e. the circuit and / or switch or switch assembly 10 in the off hook function (step 312 of FIG. 3A) to open the line and when the logic circuits 223 have activated dialing, i.e. directing the telephone 100 to send 3A step 313), the headset emits signaling tones that indicate e.g. alarm or busy, etc., which are normally heard to indicate the triggered function when the handset is raised and the number 15 dialed. These sounds are best routed through the amplifier 213b shown in Figure 2B in a pre-confirmed call, whereby they are heard, for example, slightly wider than the headset of a desk phone. The sounds are only amplified to some extent, for example 1.5-2 yellow, so as to ensure that they are not harmful to your hearing, even when the headset is in your ear. When the handset is picked up on the called telephone and answered there, this

t I

'··' The 20 ringing tones are still amplified, on the autophone 100's headset • · ·: From the loudspeaker 105 but not to your hearing, even if the headset is in your ear. In this case, the called party will usually say their name or the like, which is now audible as confirmed by loudspeaker 105. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the "confirm" function can be removed by the "hold" key associated with step 319 or confirm now? Yes ”button before lifting the handset to your ear.

'Focus: Step 318-319, beep and countdown step 321a-321b in advance; '' Unverification.

When the connection is established in step 314, the logic circuits 223 trigger a clock 227 or., .. · 30 to count down the time, e.g., down (in step 318), to measure the time. In addition, the telephone 100 emits a beep through the speaker 105. An acoustic signal reminds you to press and hold the “hold · _ · valid” command or in a simplified system that does not have a corresponding key or key combination “confirm 110465 33 now? Yes "button to hold the call. In step 319, it is checked whether the time expires. If said time expires follows step 320. The time can be set by the telephone manufacturer to be user-selectable by means of a code, e.g., 20 seconds or an alternate choice of keys 108 within 30 seconds 5 if the power button of step 319 is not pressed within this time. This is followed by closing the handset (step 321a) and pre-disabling the gain (step 321b).

Focus: Calculator and alternative options.

The calculator may be a separate device, but better the logic circuits 223, by means of the clock device 227, begin to calculate the time, which can best be determined by using keyboard 108 to select, for example, two alternatives, e.g., 20 or 30 seconds (not shown). If you do not press “do you confirm now? Yes, or in an alternative arrangement, a hold key or a similar key combination in step 319, the call 15 is automatically disconnected. This ensures that the pre-confirmed and auto-dialed call is different if the user of the phone 100 is, for some reason, not within reach of the phone when the call is made.

. : Manual stop.

'i 20 The call can be manually terminated by pressing the "end" key, and the call is found »1' · ended in step 322. This step is performed, for example, as a normal reaction busy->! <· An unanswered signal or call, to disconnect from a voice mail message, or; ! put an end to the debate with the other Party, which has been played. Once the call has been initiated and continues, and the call has not been terminated, logic circuits 223 continue in step 322 25 to determine whether the call has ended.

• '. t Step 31 ld-322 confirm now? Yes command and end call.

In the case of an unconfirmed call in step 31 Id, the user confirms the call "" just before the call or call attempt begins by pressing "confirm now?" .... 30 Yes "key or key combination. When “do you confirm now? Yes. " an instruction key or key combination is pressed, logic circuits 223 receive>, the telephone 100 automatically rotated by the radiotelephone 100 to initiate a call (step 311f) As an example of an operation, logic circuits a working device combination for "ofT hook" to open the line then activates dialing, that is, directs the telephone 100 to send the displayed telephone number as a dial tone to the telephone connection and, when established, opens a voice channel. 5 Alternatively, some of the mentioned software functions, such as unlocking the handset and / or activating dialing, can be manually overridden, "do you confirm now? The manual pressing or operation of the "Yes" command key may follow any other known method used to execute a "call" command, for example, when the name or at least the numeric data for dialing is selected and displayed on the cellphone or 10 landline display or the number information is at least preselected by a landline phone with no display, by means of a call-back function.

End a call or call attempt.

The call or a call to a company that has started at step 31 lf "stop" can be stopped by pressing the -15 key or the like, for example, in response to a busy signal, a call which is not answered, the answering machine recorded message or to stop the conversation with the other Party, which has been played. Logic circuits 223 determine whether a call or call attempt has ended (step 322). In step 322 ···, the logic circuits 223 of the call or attempt to terminate the call find out, for example, by checking whether the handset is closed (in the “on hook” position). When there is no call. : 20 terminated, logic circuits 223 continue in step 322 to determine whether the call is ended.

Preferably, pressing the "End" key or key combination is included in the check step 322, although the actual "press key" step is not described.

• · Simplified shooting mode.

The simplified mode of description has been chosen to present a rather broad entity of the invention in a manner that is readily understood by those skilled in the art. For example, not every display operation is displayed. _. separately, such as the process screen depicting the display operation on the display 111 before step 323 and 324 before pressing the required selection key.

30 Step 311d-311e-323-325, mm. cancellation and deletion.

. . When the user presses “do you confirm now? No "key or similar key combination" confirm now? Yes ”instead of the key at step 311 d to inform the phone · that no call is being made, follow step 31 and the call will be canceled for the time being. In accordance with program code instruction 110465 35, logic circuits 223 then provide the user with an option to "delete" via display 111 (step 323 in Figure 3A, or Figure 32A in Figure 10A, 10B). The "Yes" answer provided by the keypad 108 key 109 or key combination is followed by step 325. When the "yes" answer or the corresponding "delete" key is selected, the telephone number and the corresponding ring time 5 are erased from memory 207 (step 325), and the process goes back to the beginning. However, the phone number is only deleted for the reminder function, and the number may remain in the speed dial list, for example, if it is stored there and in the list of outgoing calls. At the same point in step 323, the program advances through both a pre-confirmed and an unconfirmed call, e.g., at the end of the call in step 322.

10

Steps 323-324, decide on a new reminder or call attempt.

The user may also not delete the call reminder in step 325 by going to step 323 in the "no" direction. He may thus decide on new directions 31a-31 lc-31 ld-31 lf to steps 322 and 323, such as a failed call attempt and receive a reminder. 15 Likewise, he or she may not have to delete the answering machine, which for example has only accessed the answering machine and proceeded to steps 314-322 and entered through step 322 to step 323. If he proceeded to this step (step 323) from the call reminder function, unless it is individually modified to be pre - • confirmed. If he has proceeded to the point of deleting (step 323) from the auto-call feature,: ·: 20 function will preferably remain in auto-call mode even if it is renewed, unless it is • • · · unverified. Then, in the next step 324, the user may, in which the text on the display 111 asks (do you select the default), press "yes" or the corresponding key 109 or a combination of keys to select the default.

25 Default Time 1 5 min

The default time can be, for example, 15 minutes or shorter or longer. The default may be a fixed phone. ·. The default selected by the manufacturer 100, or more preferably, can be set by the user of the phone 100; "1 by going to the required options. An example of such choices is shown, e.g., in steps 329, 330 of FIG. 10A. With a default time of 15 minutes, the phone 100 will attempt to connect or resume the call after 15 minutes, and unless otherwise established or the "delete" step 325 has not been selected, continue every 15 minutes. yes "step 324, 110465 36 thus automatically changes the ring time to a pre-programmed ring or reminder default time (step 327), and the process returns to the beginning. In the description of the invention explaining FIG. 3B, an alternative way of constructing a telephone 100 the call that ended in step 322a always goes to step 321c where the 5 pre-confirmation is removed.

New Call or Reminder Time Step 326.

When "no" is selected in step 324 (do you select a default), the user is prompted by the display 111 to enter a new ring time for that telephone number (step 326) and the process 10 restarts. In step 326, the call or reminder interval is entered with the buttons 109, for example in minutes or in minutes, e.g. between 1/12 min and 360 minutes.

Need for a more complex operating process.

The foregoing describes the telephone 100 and its operating process 300a in its simplest 15 modes, which is difficult to further delimit functions without compromising the practicality of the telephone 100. For the more demanding user of the telephone, the telephone 100 may be provided with a plurality of functions and / or choices of options, e.g. below.

..!: Voice memo for the reminder.

20 The reminder sound symbol is clearly different from other sound symbols, such as ringtone • · ·: and is the most relaxed and relaxed tune. Said * voice code may e.g. be self-selectable from a limited range e.g. ·; to prevent the user of the telephone 100 from interfering with the main message associated with the reminder due to the excessive number of voice dials. Advantageously, this tone token 25 as well as the ring reminder tone token is "stretched" e.g. by lowering current and / or voltage when it is dialed as mentioned above for the ring reminder. In this case, the full range of voice options may be available when the main reminder message is pushed through by a "stretch» sound "or a slow, eg blues melody. Alternatively, to slow down the current or voltage, a slow melody or "blue tone" is achieved by means of 30 codes encoded in the program code.

A reminder of myself.

. ·. i 1 'The reminder itself, which appears on screen 111, was previously entered when setting the reminder, e.g.

110465 37 in step 40Ib of FIGURE 10B, accessed by "yes" option from step 401a, keys 109 in letters, characters and numbers in memory 207. The reminder may be, for example, a reminder on the screen of FIGURE IB to take two different evening drugs named. For example, the reminder of the display 111 of FIG. 1B may be set to repeat every night at the same time, without a limit, in a dedicated menu, e.g., the action menu or FIG. Also, the process 1000 of FIG. 14 is a regularly repeated reminder. For example, this Case reminder menu is best equipped with a point such as a regular recurrence which, when activated, allows you to set a time interval at which the reminder will be repeated at regular intervals, such as 10 6 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours or 24 hours or even weekly and monthly.

Alternatively, the reminder can be repeated, for example, alternately every 16 and 8 hours to separate the night and day rhythm. One easy way to keep the same, or to update and change your regularly-repeated reminders, is still shown in Figure 5C operating process 1100.

15 Waking up in the morning and taking alternating weekly rhythms.

One way to trigger an alarm on weekdays at 7.30 and on Saturdays and Sundays, e.g. until 9.30 or alternatively not at all, is shown in Figure 14. In addition, Figure 14 shows that the telephone 100 gives a new alarm to remind you to take the morning medicine when it is awake e.g., 15 minutes after waking up each day. This makes it easier to: ·: Remember to take 20 medications for people of all ages who have to do the same every day for long periods of time • · ·: Repeat the routine to take medications.

How the process 1000 works.

In the process 1000 of FIG. 14, in step 1001, logic circuits 223 call a morning wake-up signal at 7.30 on Monday morning by means of a sound generator 25, which is clear as the logic circuits scroll through the reserved addresses of process 1000 in memory 207. ·. as in step 3005 of step 305 of the operation process 300d2.

In this case, subprocess 1000 is connected to process 300d2 and suitably articulated therein t> [(not shown as a single entity). In step 1002, upon awakening, the user presses a key 109 ... 30 or a combination of keys to terminate the beep. When he does not press the sound continues. This can be. , 'associate eg "sleep" function and / or "time out" function (not shown). Operational process 1000; , moves to step 1003 when step 1001 is "acknowledged" or the clock has arrived at 7.45. If the user of the telephone 100 quickly acknowledges step 1002, then step 1003 only appears in time when the logic circuits 223 of 110465 38 are browsing from their memory locations. Now, after the user-set time, for example, at 7.45, the phone will ring again. If the user does not preset the time, the phone will not ring again. Phone 100 can separate days of the week, and memory 207 records different wake-up and / or reminder times for each day of the week, 5 which is not necessary when working five days a week, or is otherwise a steady rhythm of life with multiple routines. and 14, the logic circuits 223 preferably detect regularly repeated reminders by means of instructions encoded in the program code, and are stored in memory 207 such that they are repeated without reactivation.

10 Export only once.

The phone does not need to be "programmed" with the buttons 109 more than once by making such a weekly memo, for example, and does not need to be reactivated if it does not need to be changed, e.g. After this, logic circuits 223 "guard" that, on a weekday morning, they wake up early to work and get longer sleep at the weekend, and that medicine 15 be taken or, for example, a weekly maintenance of a device. For example, in the drawing 111, the texts displayed in the memory 207 once for each step of the display operation, for example in drawing 14, can be displayed as an input operation, always being output at the right time with an acoustic signal. From the explanation, the process proceeds in an understandable way, step by step, to the next day and,.) · To the next week, in steps 1005-1028. Said display operation is best included i.i 20 in all 1000 process steps described as a square process screen.

Moving from the routine to the weekend and again into the new week.

'' · The operation moves from the Friday morning routine to the Saturday morning routine as follows: Display operation: Fri wake-up 7.30 ring tone (step 1017); press the button to turn off ring 25 (step 1018); display operation take medicine xyz and ring tone to take medicine 7.45 (step 1019); press the button to turn off the clock (step 1020); Ia wake up at 9:30 am ring tone (step 1021); press the button to turn off the bell «*. ·· * (step 1022); (when Saturday does not want to be woken up, or else a reminder is left out of the phone's 100 memory) take medicine xyz ring tone to take medicine at 9:45 (step 30 1023); press the button to turn off the bell (step 1024), then continue to Sunday morning wake up 930 (step 1025). From Sunday's last step 1028 (press; knob to turn off the clock), process 1000 will return to Monday morning wake-up at 7.30 am (step 1001), without reactivation.

Time recording equipment needed.

Alternatively, for use of the clock device 227, for example, the timer 228 of FIG. 1C may be used, which is set e.g. Monday 7:30 am first 15 minutes forward and 5 steps 1004 forward 23h 45min and again 15min and 23h 45min etc. alternately. There may be 6 drug sessions or steps reserved for other things to remember, after which the process continues to the next working day. Based on the distinctive voice token, the user of the telephone 100 can immediately know what different ring tone the reminder now comes in full time and respond quickly to the reminder if it knows it is urgent and important.

Reminder related symbols.

The person who takes the drug as shown in Figure 14 may retrieve symbol 1 from the 400 process 353 of subprocess 12A of Figure 12A and save it with a "Yes" option (step 15 354) for automatic connection to its dedicated memory location (step 355) 401a. By pressing the "Move" key in step 401a of Figure 10B, symbol 1 moves to step 401b in the slot reserved for the symbol on screen 111. In addition, in step 401b, keyboard 108 can be used to key in reminder text and related ··· '· numbers. The user can set up a process for himself in the 1000 settings menu (not shown): · · 20 by typing “·” * a program with reminders for each day of the week, in the order shown by that menu. Reminders come in the process 1000 settings menu • · * a ... preferably in their reserved positions, in a logical numerical order 1001-t '' '1028, as many steps per day as the phone manufacturer considers best to book.

It is up to the user to bring the reminder times, texts, and any pictures into place so that the weekly program can be activated. The step can be left blank if no reminders are needed. For example, the following steps 1003, 1007, 1011, 1015, 1019, 1023, 1027 may be provided by the user with symbol 1 in a manner that becomes clearer as the description of the invention progresses. Other aspects of the regular reminders will also be further clarified as the description of the invention progresses.

Getting to work in the process 100.

Another user can equip the steps of Figure 14 with a car image (symbol 2) of Mon 1003, Tue 1007, Wed 1011, Thu 1015, Fri 1019 and make the phone ring .... 30 110465 40 beeps these weekdays eg 20 minutes after waking up , to realize that you have to "push out the door" to get to work.

Special treatment for Parkinson's disease.

The method can easily set reminders for the subject, such as taking the medicine 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 times a day. For example, a Finnish pharmaceutical company has an internationally significant new drug in the treatment of Parkinsonism, and remembering to take it will certainly be difficult for patients, as it is known to be taken 5 or 6 times a day. Likewise, it may be remembered to perform an operation that is repeated every week, such as a machine, device 10, or hardware maintenance check or the like.

System-specific features include: Features for recurring reminders:

Thus, there is a system for improving the robotic feature and reminder features of the telephone device 100 having access keys 109, and a program-controlled processor controlling the telephone device when the device includes a reminder and / or alarm. A feature of the ice cream system is that: 28 days of the month are redirected to self-payable charges, of which the telephone device 100 • ·: automatically reminds by giving a beep and displaying, for example, the bank connection logo; 20 alarms may be substantially permanently set at the most convenient time for each day of the week; that the wake-up is performed on weekdays, e.g., two hours earlier than Saturday and / or ... on Sunday mornings; alternatively, on Saturdays and Sundays, there is no wake-up at all; that for example, five or six different reminding times may be set for each day of the week, for example to remind you to take all five or six medications for Parkinson's disease; that for example, five or six different reminder times may be set for each day of the week, alternatively, for example, five or six different reminding times; '. t remember the completion of the task; that the execution of the task can advantageously be accompanied by: '' 'message confirming the accomplished task when the task has been completed, the phone automatically transmitting a pre-set 30 text messages (e.g., "task 1 done") to the phone with one or a few keystrokes 109 , · I 'to a telephone or data device equipped with a text messaging device, which may also advantageously receive message elements such as supplies or goods orders related to the success of the task ;. An example of this can be seen in Figure 12B. In turn, its own additional illumination for regular 110465 41 reminders is shown in Figure 11A in process 600a, in Figure 5A in process 300B, in particular in the regular reminder portion, and in Figure 5C in process 1100.

Figure 11A. Access to regular reminders.

Figure 11A in Flowchart 600a shows an example of how regular reminders that are repeated every day are made the same. Figure 1AA shows at the top the connection point to the list of other settings and options 400a, or 400b, for example, in connection with Figure 12A or 12B and 10B, which also acts as a transition to process 600a (not actually shown in list 400a). While navigating through the list of other settings and options, e.g., 400a, e.g., 10 using the "arrow keys" or the "yes" and "no" keys, the user of phone 100 can access step 430 by making a "yes" selection. The "No" option will take him back to the list of other settings 400a. By proceeding to step "yes" in step 430, for example, the text "regular matter reminders SELECT ON" or something similar (step 601a) will appear.

15 Step 601a.

Thus, by proceeding from the list 400a mentioned above, depending on the mode of operation of the telephone 100 and the keypad selected, step 601a can be found, for example, with the arrow key or the yes and no key. The "yes" selection leading to the regular reminders (step 601a) can be made by pressing »♦ depending on the mode of operation, eg" Yes "or" OK ", or * 20 arrow keys (109) in step 430. Alternatively," Yes "is selected. "Dial" - * »key that performs a number of variable functions, such as SELECT, CALL, CLOSE, etc., which are designated individually by the text displayed on screen 111 at certain steps. In this case, * an alternative to pressing the variable control key in question and thus making the selection is to move, for example, with the arrow keys forward or backward. From step 601a 25, logic circuits 223 automatically transfer the operation of telephone 100 to step 601b.

Step 601b.

*] In step 601b, the user of the telephone 100 can select by pressing the 109 key or the "yes" key combination, or in a similar configuration of the telephone 100, e.g.

• j. 30 “OK” so that the operation of the telephone 100 proceeds to step 601c. If he chooses “No” • J. ' by pressing, for example, a "no" key or a key or a combination of keys providing a corresponding "no" function, or in yet another structure of the telephone 100, e.g., a C key (known as a clear key). 110465 42 display, the operation of the phone returns to step 400a, back to the list of other settings and / or options 400a.

Step 601c.

5 When the user of the telephone 100 has selected "yes" in step 601b, the operation of the telephone 100 then proceeds to step 601c where logic circuits 223 outline from memory 207 e.g. words "do you select time 1" or "key time 1" or the corresponding number, letter or symbol. , or a blank screen that understandably expresses the same idea, but leaves a space reserved for displaying the time itself when the time is entered with the keys 109 10, and key in the desired time, e.g., 08.30, by logic circuits 223 to control the correct position on display 111. 109 to forward the numeric keystroke in step 601c to the designated time on the display 111 as numbers, for example, a 24-hour display in hours and minutes, although these keys can be used to key in loudspeakers in another mode of telephone 100. 15 Alternatively, drive The presentation can be made or converted into a 12-hour presentation in any obvious way. The user of the telephone may make home key changes or keystrokes in any manner known to those skilled in the art until he is satisfied with the time of his choice. Once he has selected the time, he can go »| step 60Id and confirm with "Yes". The "Yes" option can be made by pressing 20 for example, do you confirm now? Press the Yes key (step 60Id) or alternatively * in the phone 100 alternate structure by pressing the corresponding key, eg "Yes" or "OK".

I Step 602a,

If he / she is not satisfied with the time he / she chooses, he / she chooses "no" in step 25 60 Id. The operation process of the telephone 100 then returns to the list of other settings and / or options 400a. As a result of selecting "No", logic circuits 223 erase time 1 from memory 207 ·, off in step 602a to avoid any confusion. Time 1, or reminder 1; '' 'Cannot be erased except by using the' no 'option in steps 602a or 602b, so reactivation is also • · unnecessary unless the reminder time or reminder content needs to be changed.

Askel 60Id, 601 e.

When the user of the telephone 100 selects "Yes" in step 60Id by pressing the required 110465 43 key 109 or key combination, the logic circuits 223 store the time in memory 207 for a reminder function and the key function changes to a mode (step 60le). 207. The logic circuits 223 then display 111 such as "key in reminder 1". In this case, he or she can type 5, for example, "Take the morning medicine" and "it 1". He or she may switch to entering numbers in a known manner, as opposed to entering goblins, when the subject matter of the reminder so requires. The best time entered in the previous step 601c is also displayed in its position 111 on the display 111 again. Preferably, logic circuits 223 further display, in step 60, from memory 207, e.g., text "reminder 1" or a corresponding 10 number, kicker, or symbol that expresses the same idea sufficiently, but leaves 111 space for writing the reminder itself. e.g., moving graphics such as an opening vial image as described elsewhere in the description of the invention The vial image, i.e., symbol 1 shown in step 353 of FIGS. 12A and 12B, or other symbol replacing or complementing text in 15 stored in memory 207 may also be provided by select the reminder to fit the topic and visit the memory 207 to retrieve 111 to the space reserved for it.

In step 601f2, the logic circuits 223 transmits the reminder text selected in step 60le and a possible symbol in response to said step 601f "yes" selection in memory 207.

Stored it.

5 In step 601f2, logic circuits 223, using keypad 108, store the typed text with optional symbols or characters in memory 207 for daily repetition, with reminder 1 fully stored and ready for use. Thus, logic circuits 223 find a reminder, e.g., in the solution of FIG. 10B, each day while browsing through memory 307 for a reminder or number in step 303, and the reminder proceeds from step 305 to process 10 300d2 at the same time. In step 310d of FIG. 5A, logic circuits 223 further find out that reminder 1 is regularly repeated. In this case, option 1 of Figure 5A automatically follows step 310el, at which logic circuits 223 from memory 207 to display 111, for example, the words "Do you delete this day?" Or "Delete this item?" Or the like.

Reminder reminder.

In this case, the reminder in Option 1 function (step 310e3) shown in process 300b of Figure 5A can only be deleted for that day, but reminder 1 is repeated ;: again and again in the following days, unless it is cleared by "no" in step 601 fl.

Then, as a result of non-selection, step 601fl is followed by step 602b and both a written reminder with possible symbols that the selected time is erased from the memory 207.

Reminder 1 Selection Only and Remaining Options:

Thus, the user of the telephone 100 can confirm reminder 1 and time 1 by "yes" in 25 steps 601 fl. Preferably, logic circuits 223 then display 111 such as the words: "Reminder 1 saved, do you enter time 2?". When the user of the phone 100 does not want to be reminded 2, he does not set the time 2. If he also does not want to be reminded 3 he can · · · select “no” in step 601h, which causes the time 2 to be wiped or * held blank in step 602c and return to the list of other settings and / or options 30 400a.

When he wants to make a reminder 3, he dials "yes" (step 601h) without entering the time of the clock and the phone 100 moves to step 60jj. The logic circuits then bring e.g.

110465 45 text "do you type reminder 2". When he does not want to do reminder 2, he selects "yes" without entering reminder 2 so that 111 is not marked with the items reserved for them (time or reminder). Similarly, when he can advance past reminder 2, he can also advance past reminder 3 5 if he does not want to be reminded as with reminder 1.

Alternatively, he can do the following: Enter 601 g in step 2; make a yes or no recording of clock time in step 601 h; causing time 2 selection to clear in step 602c and returning to list 400a of other settings and / or 10; key in 60lj in step 2 of the reminder; make a "yes" or "no" option for recording or erasing a reminder in step 601kl; clear time 2 and reminder 2 and return to list 400a of other settings and / or options (step 602d) or save reminder 2 in step 601k2; 15 to enter 60lm in 3 steps; make a yes or no recording of the time of day 3 in step 60In; causing the time 2 selection to be cleared in step 602e and returning to the list of other settings and / or choices 400a; enter reminder in step 3 60lp; make a "yes" or "no" - '] selection of the reminder recording or erasing in step 601 rl; clear time 3 and reminder 3 and return to list of other I. · 20 settings and / or options 400a (step 602f); stores reminder in step 3 601 r2; .,.: 'return to menu 400a reminder 1 and / or 2 and / or 3 without deleting via step 601 s using the' yes' option in step * 601 r 1.

'· Less frequent recurring reminders.

25 But what if the 100 users of the phone find it difficult to remember to pay all their bills on time without getting bears, like paying a monthly pay-per-view fee. It is still conceivable that the telephone 100 could be used to remember things that are repeated on a particular date even at intervals of a year, such as some important anniversaries. Advantageously, any such regular reminder cannot be completely accidentally erased, e.g., in step 325 30, which is frequently moved. Here too, help is provided with the process 1100 functions of the telephone 100, when available; · Proceeded to the explanation of Figure 5C, which runs best from step 310d of Figure 5A; alternatively, a selectable operating model for the model of Figure 5A. In this approach, it is simple to keep both the short-term and longer-term choices either 46 110465 unchanged or repeatedly "updated".

Fig. 10b is an introductory part related to Fig. 5A.

The process 300d2 of Figure 10B begins at step 301. Logic circuitry 223 periodically scans the reserved 5 addresses in memory 207 to determine if there is a telephone number stored for making or calling a call or a reminder (step 303.) When no telephone number or reminder is found, the process returns to the top. Once the telephone number or reminder is found, the logic circuits 223 determine whether the current time is equal to or greater than the ring or reminder time (step 305). When the time has not passed the pre-set call time or call reminder time, or the case reminder time, the process returns to the beginning. When the current time is greater than or equal to the pre-set call time or call reminder time to ensure that no auto-ring is initiated or the call is reminded while the user is already dialing or speaking, logic circuits 223 determine whether the handset is open (step 307). When the handset is open, the process continues to check whether the handset is open, except in the case of a reminder, whereupon the silent beep may be heard from the audio generator and the reminder appears on the display 111 controlled by logic circuits 223 and program code. Preferably, when the handset is closed, a louder tone (not shown) is generated.

<* · • »! * '· 20 Steps 308-309b Alarm and Power On.

I I i ··! When the handset is closed, the logic circuits 223 cause the alarm device to emit a loudspeaker 105 [an alarm tone that can be heard by a human being in the case of a call reminder; ·; or a reminder (step 308). When the phone 100 is off in accordance with step 309a, the 'alert tone, for example with a beep tone, only indicates that it is time to call or remind. This tone does not indicate whether it is a pre-confirmed call or a reminder call (or, in the more complex process, a REMINDER TEXT here).

. ·, Then, if the power is off, the user can hear the sound and turn on the power for action; ' can progress. If the power is off, the program will continue to check for power until the power is turned on or the time passes by step 309b when the power is off.

.... 30

Figure 5A is a section related to Figure 10B.

From the connection of the process 300d2 of Fig. 10B, it can be seen to which step 309a of Fig. 5A there is a connection or step 309b. Relatively simple telephones resembling the making of call 110465 47 are already known at least from the aforementioned US-5,525,683. Further, the corresponding process is described elsewhere in the present invention (Fig. 3A). Therefore, in this Figure 5A, the partial reminder process, which follows the method already known from FIG. 3A 5, in connection with the partial operation process 300B and the associated partial flow diagrams, is only briefly described. with a slight difference in numbering, as there is a reminder. It is to be hoped that the text in the step screens will be taken into account where it is not directly found in the explanation. The flow of the process is easily viewed from flow charts such as flow diagram 300d2 of Fig. 10B and flow diagram 300B of Fig. 5A that can be connected to it, remembering e.g. See Figure 3A for a more detailed description of the operation of the telephone which also refers in more detail to the principle of operation 10 e.g. logic circuits 223, memory 207, and program code.

Figure 5A, beginning.

The logic circuits 223 check the memory 207 for the following, according to which the logic circuits 15 control the flow of the process: Figure 5B Flowchart 300B: Step 309a, whether the power is on; yes, follow step 310a; whether it is a telephone number; yes, follow step 310b; display the number on the screen. Once the number and its associated name are displayed, step 311a is performed, where logic circuits 223 determine from memory 207 whether the number has been set in advance. Her,.! that is, the call proceeds to Figure 6a or 6b. Which of these pictures proceeds depends on: 20 the phone manufacturer's decision as to which alternative to build the phone 100.

When the number is not confirmed in advance.

When the number has not been pre-confirmed, follow step 31 le and the call reminder sound code is played. When the user hears the voice tag he can press confirm now? “Yes” -25 key or key combination giving the command. Then follow step 31 lf. If the user does not press any key, the process stops at step 31 Id. In the preferred mode, if;> he does not press e.g. confirm now? The key or combination of keys that gives the "Yes" command,; "'And don't you confirm now? The key or key combination that gives the "No" command is preferably followed by the so-called. “Time out” reaction, that is, time depresses and the process returns to the beginning (no ,, 30 shown). However, a similar "time-out" reaction mechanism is seen shown in the same figure 5B for the reminder steps 310c 1 -310c2-310c3 -310c4-A-31Od. When the time press expires in step 31 Id with the "time-out" structure, the process resumes and the phone user receives a new 110465 48 reminder (step 31 le) after the set time interval, which includes a ring reminder sound ID and a call reminder and a dialed number lii.

Step 31 lf.

5 As an example of the operation of step 311 f, logic circuits 223 programmatically open the handset, i.e., change the circuit and / or switch or switch device to an off hook function to open a line, then activate the telephone 100 to send the dialed dial number 111 and when the connection is established, they open the voice channel. Alternatively, some of the 10 software functions mentioned, such as unlocking the handset and / or activating dialing, can be manually overridden, "do you confirm now? Manually pressing or acting on the "give" command can follow any other known method used to execute e.g. "call" when the name or at least the numeric information for dialing is selected and displayed on the cellular or landline display 15 or when the name or at least the number information is at least preselected by a landline phone with no display, by means of a call remind function.

End a call or call attempt.

...: 'A call or call attempt started in step 31 lf can be terminated by pressing' end '-:: 20 keys or the like, for example in response to a busy signal, a missed call, · ·: to a voice message or end a conversation with the party, which has been played. Logic circuits 223 determine whether a call or call attempt has ended (step 322). The call log or call attempt termination logic circuits 223 find out in step 322, for example, by checking whether the handset is closed (in the "on hook" position). When the call is not terminated, the logic circuits 223 continue in step 322 to determine whether the call has ended. Preferably, pressing the "Stop" key or key combination is included in the check step. '. : 322, although the actual key press step is not described.

Step 311d-311e-323-325, mm. cancellation and deletion.

30 When the user presses “do you confirm now? No ”key or a similar key combination. L '' do you confirm now? Yes ”instead of the key at step 31 Id to inform the phone,. : that no call is made now, follow step 31 le and the call will be canceled for the time being. In accordance with the instruction of the program code, the logic circuits 223 then provide the user with the option to "delete" via display 110465 49111 after step 323a between figure 10b in step 323b. The "Yes" answer provided by the keypad 108 key 109 or key combination is followed by step 325. When the "yes" answer or the corresponding e.g., "delete" key is selected, the telephone number and the corresponding ring time are erased from memory 207 (step 325). In the preferred structure 5, there is still a key to be pressed in step 325 to ensure that the reminder is actually deleted, however, the phone number is only deleted for the reminder function, for example, and may remain in the speed dial list if stored At step 323b, the program also proceeds through a pre-confirmed or unconfirmed call, e.g., after the call is completed in step 10 322. The solution 10A and 5A of FIG. 10A and 5A has an advantageous step 323a that allows the list 400a to make various choices "yes". by selecting "no" for the lead aessa to step 323b.

From step 310a no direction.

The logic circuits 223 check the memory 207 for the following things as the process proceeds: 10B in the description of Fig. 10B, information is found, the process proceeds toward step 310a in Fig. 5A (comparable to step 310 in process 300a) as described above. In the case of the more versatile phone 100 shown in Fig. 5A, the operating process differs at least at step 310a from the simplest illustrated operating model of the telephone 100 of Fig. 3A. When logic circuits 223 20 do not find among the information found in step 303 a telephone number that would be

• · · 'saved as a call-in reminder or autoplay, the process proceeds as shown in Figure 5A.

in a more versatile mode, the "no" branch to step 310cl. In this case, the logic circuits 223 i out of the memory 207 provide a reminder 111 to the display as a printing operation. Preferably, the user has to press the key 109 for a longer time to display the reminder on the display 111 without interrupting the "time-out" function.

Time presses the time out button.

The time that the reminder will be displayed without checking for step 310c2, eg pressing the same key 109 as used now confirm? Yes is ·: ··! The best way to do this is to allow the person to search the phone 100 and read the display 111 in everything. ·: ·. in peace. The time can be, for example, 60 seconds. Logic circuits 223 check whether the time is to press; : key expired (step 310c3) and continue to check whether the time to press the key expired. After 60 seconds, don't you confirm now? The 110465 50 key used as the Yes key is not pressed (step 310c2), the logic circuits 223 find out that the time to press the key 109 has run out (step 310c3). For example, timer circuit or timer 228. When the time presses the key ends (step 310c3), follow step 310c4 and set a timer that measures the time it takes for the process to start. The timer can be used, for example, to reset the timer 228, as calculated by the counter 229 of FIG. 2D, as a multiple of successive reset of the timer 228. This time is, for example, fixed by the telephone manufacturer, or selectable by the user (not shown), e.g., a time between 3 and 15 minutes. During this time, the user may, for example, come so close to the telephone 100 that he hears the next new beep. After the timer 228 or the timer circuit has set a time of 3 to 15 minutes to complete 10, the reminder, upon returning to the beginning, will be repeated again, whereby the voice tag will attempt to attract the user's attention at this time.

When the key is pressed.

Once the user has pressed do you confirm now? Operation of the Yes key 109 15 of the telephone 100 proceeds to step 310d. From step 3Od, the phone manufacturer can choose between two different ways to make the phone 100, which the user of the phone then has to deal with, or provides the user with a menu to select mode 1 or mode 2 (menu not shown). In this case, the telephone 100 must be prepared to operate in both of the following ways.

f 20 .: Option 1. Step 310d, (still Figure 5A) 1. If the reminder is recorded regularly, for example every few hours, daily, weekly or monthly in a repeating format, the logic circuits 223 find this out in step 3d and automatically execute "yes". fork to step 310el and the display will show the question: "Do you want to delete this item?". In the next step 310e2 logic circuits 223 checks whether the question is reset by pressing the "yes" key or the "no" key. Kun, ·. neither key has been pressed within the time set by the phone manufacturer, eg 30. · · Sec measured by, e.g., timer circuit, or timer 228, the time the key presses ends (step 310e4), <'followed by step 310e5 and the timer is set. For example, the timer 228.,. i 30 resetting by counting 229 of figure 2D successively resetting timer 228> i,;. * Multiple startup. This time is, for example, fixed by the phone manufacturer i: '^, or user selectable (not shown) e.g. After the timer 228 or the time set by the timer circuit 3-15 minutes has elapsed, the reminder returns to the beginning S1: 110466 again.

Step 310e3.

When the user presses the "Yes" key (step 310e3), the reminder is deleted from this item. In this case, for example, a reminder to be repeated in the morning, such as taking the medicine again the next time in 12 hours. If the user presses the "no" key or the time presses the key, the user will have additional time to respond to the reminder, for example, to take his / her medication after a reminder, when he / she is prevented from taking the medication for the first time. When the reminder is delayed again, the user can press the "yes" key 10 to remove the reminder from this item (step 310e3), so that the next reminder does not arrive on time, e.g., after the said 12 hours have elapsed.

Does not branch from step 310d.

If the reminder is not stored in a regularly repeated format, the logic circuits 223 15 are able to find it out and automatically take the "no" branch to step 323b. In step 323b of the process 300B of Fig. 5A, or in step 323b of the process 300d2 of Fig. 10B, the display shows the question: do you delete ?. In this case, the user can, by "yes" and preferably the confirmation added to step 325 (press the button), completely delete the reminder (step 325) and the process returns to the beginning. Alternatively, by selecting "no" -:: 20, he can continue in the "no" direction to make various choices, for example, to select a new reminder time or reminder interval (steps 324-334 'of process 300d2 in Figure 10B).

Option 2.

2. In step 3 of option 3, the logic circuits 223 always display a 111 question whether 25 reminders are repeated regularly and the user selects the "no" key or the "yes" key. Most advantageously, this may include a "time-out" function (not shown). When, for example, the time measured by timer 228 or timer circuit in FIG. 2C: '·, for example, 30 seconds passes without user response: "" logic circuits 223 select "yes". In option 2, the user is always easy and fast ... The list of reminders, but the likelihood of unintentional errors., .. compared to option 1, on the other hand, also increases. For further exploration of Option 2, some suggestions for increasing the relatively simple hardware capacity, and the good reason for WAP features to adopt Option 2, as well as Figure 3C.

For example, the subprocess 300b of Figure 6A, the subprocess 300b2 of Figure 6b, or the sub-process 300c of Figure 7b or an alternative extension 300c of the process of Figure 7b, may alternatively be transitioned to the subprocess 300a3 of Figure 3B. From the sub-process 300a2 of Figure 3B, or alternatively from the sub-process 300a3 of Figure 3C, it is possible to move to the sub-process 300B of Figure 5A. The subprocess 300b of FIG. 5A, in turn, can be switched to the subprocess 300d2 of FIG. 10B. Alternatively, by combining different processes in different ways, it is possible to select the most suitable features for the mobile phone 100 which combine the features sought. Alternatively, Figure 3B 10 may be considered, for example, as part of the subassembly of the process 300A of Figure 3A or process 300dl of Figure 10A such that the nature of the process is changed such that the automated call forms a discontinuous portion in step 321c. Still further, e.g., the process 300D of FIGURE 3A or process 300d1 of FIGURE 10A may, if necessary, be represented by a plurality of sub-assemblies which, by means of a plurality of images, one of which may be FIG. This may be necessary if the text size causes problems with vision in the A4A process 300A, or 300dl.

Defining the clock device.

One kellolaitteeksi 227 can be considered e.g. a clock device, which is capable of measuring May 12-hour period, and with or without the auxiliary device to distinguish between the time before and after half a day, or alternatively, can be measured directly from 24-hour period. A second clock device is considered to be, for example, a combination of devices which, for example, even when combined with a clock device of short duration and a multiple counting device 229, is capable of providing measurement of time periods of more than 24 hours.

Images IE and 2E and WAP functionality.

For example, with the hardware shown in Figure 2E having two clock devices 227a and 227b, two timers 228a and 228b, two calculators 229a and 229b, and two memories 207a and 207b, it is already much simpler to design and modify the operation of different parts a and b and remotely control some of the reminder and auto-call functions, as with the corresponding apparatus having only one timer 228, one calculator 229, and one clock device 227 and one unit of memory. The IE phone 100 in the picture is provided with WAP features (not described in detail), which naturally have their own e.g.

! memory and software capacity requirements. Image IE on Phone 100 Display 20,111 In the image, IE is reminded of a regularly due invoice, which in a similar real situation is likely to be paid for immediately with a reminder via the WAP features bank connectivity feature. This monthly recurring reminder is achieved, for example, by the steps 11010 and 310el2 shown in process 1100 of Figure 5C of the invention. 25

Particularly waterproof parts.

, ·, For example, parts (b) contain some of the most important parts and / or functions to protect against, for example, wetting, · ·. The present invention proposes the most important functions to be included in the most important functions of survival and survival in extreme conditions. These include at least 30 medication reminders, as well as the clock and calendar, and are pursued in conjunction with those components; · With other components essential for operation, to provide particularly good watertight protection. The purpose of this is to protect the operation of said parts, even if the other parts of the telephone, for example due to damping, cease to function completely or at least until thorough drying 110465 54. In addition, it is important to have a traceable navigation or compass function in order to survive, for example, from the sea or an uninhabited area. Because it seems quite difficult to protect the most modern navigation functions without protecting all operations of the entire phone 100, the present invention proposes to place a standard magnetic compass in a vacant position. The free-floating needle tip of the magnetic compass always points in the outward direction when the compass is in a horizontal position and without external interfering magnetic fields. Tracking said needle can sometimes be fun when the phone is up and running, with disturbing magnetic fields easily present. However, in an extreme situation, for example, when the phone 100 itself no longer functions except for its best protected portions 10b, the compass may still save lives and is not very expensive. The compass can also be located at a convenient location on the back of the topless cellular phone 103.

Magnetic compass.

In the figure, the IE compass 550 is embedded in the top case 103. Most preferably, the entire compass 15 can be moved by fingertip rotation in any position. The compass 550 can then be used like any other compass. The arrow 551 shown in the top case 103 is positioned in the desired direction of travel and held in the correct direction, after which the compass 550 itself is rotated with a fingertip while rotating the compass in a horizontal position such that: the tip of compass needle 552 points northward. 551 direction.

Option 2, Figure 5C

The phone user basically accesses step 11e 310e5 of Figure 5C subprocess directly from step 3l0d of figure 5A by selecting "yes" in option 2, or when the "time-out" function automatically moves step 3ld to step "5" (not step) 310d shown) to step 310e5. The steps of Figure 5A from 310el are not included in Option 2. Preferably, also step 310e5 shown in Fig. 5C is accompanied by a "time-out" function which enables an automatic "yes" selection, taking the action from step 310e5 to step 310e6. In this case, the regular reminder will repeat after the interval it has been set to repeat, without separate re-activation if no "Yes" or "No" is selected for step 310e5 within the set time. In addition, the result of the "Yes" option is the same as the "time-out" function, ie, it follows step 310e6. Both of the "time-out" functions are more fully illustrated as the description of the invention progresses in the sub-process 1200 of Figure 5D, where step 30d is essentially represented by step 30dd, which involves several functions.

15 Accessing Regular Reminders from Figure 10B through Figure 12D.

In addition to accessing step 310e5 from FIG. 5A, the user of the phone can access said step via e.g. steps 352h and 352j of list MA 400d of FIG. 12D. Figure 12D

• in step 352h, logic circuits 223 display 111 such as "regular reminders," 20 including a long time interval, (min, h, p, wk, w, v). From step 352j, the phone user can select "yes" to access step 310e5 through Figure 5C via junction 310el5. When the user of the phone • chooses "no" in step 352j of image 12D, the operation of the phone 100 proceeds to step 401a of process 300d2 of figure 10B. In steps 401a, 401b of Figure 10B, he can, for example, make a thing reminder that does not repeat regularly, or preferably also set a thing 25 reminder to be regular, e.g., by activating the words

I ,, Importing reminder text and symbol into regular reminders.

'1. An advantageous operation is achieved when the user is able, in light of all the related information and drawings of the present specification 30, to perform the following operation steps: 1. Obtain a possible symbol from step 353 or 356 of Figure 12D.

: · · 2. - Proceed from Fig. 12D after saving the symbol in steps 354, 355 or 357, 358 to step 401b of Fig. 10B and position the reminder and export the symbol to its dedicated 56 110465 memory location 207, and save the entity.

• 3. -Then proceed through step 323a back to list 400D of figure 12D.

• 4. - Proceed to steps 352h and 352j.

• 5. -Select "Yes" in step 352j to access regular 5 reminders for sub-process 1100 in Figure 5C, through step 31ee 15 at junction 310e5.

In this case, he may be able to select a regularly repeated reminder time by means of the steps 10 3 10 10, 3 10 6 in the step 5 of Fig. 5C for the reminder text and symbol thus stored. Alternatively, the user may proceed through steps 325f, 352g to sub-process 600b2 of Figure 1BB, which is better explained in connection with Figure 12C. Alternatively, the user of the telephone 100 could proceed in the same way to select the wake-up times and e.g. the beep times for taking the drug, the sub-process 1000 of Figure 14 (not shown).

Maintaining the same reminder interval. The first steps 310e5 and 310e6 in Figure 5C,

In step 310e5, the display 111 asks e.g. "Do you keep the same reminder interval 12h" and thus shows the interval 12h that has been set when this particular reminder 20 has just appeared on 111, e.g. In this case, the user can select the same reminder interval by pressing 310e5 in step 5C of Figure 5C, eg “do you confirm now? 109, or by selecting the corresponding "Yes" key. The logic circuits 223 then take the action to the next step and display the text shown in step 310e6 in step 111, e.g., "12h reminder interval selected" because 12h 25 has already been set. The operation then returns to the initial step 310e6, repeating itself after 12h. Most preferably, step 310e5 can confirm any of the same reminder intervals on the basis of which the currently being repeated reminder (step 30el) is made, for example any of the reminder intervals of FIG. 5C described below or any of the regular reminders interval 30 shown in FIGS.

5D "time out" structures with re-activation unnecessary.

When the user has pressed a key to indicate that he or she has noticed the reminder 110465 57 · in step 5A of Figure 5A, the logic circuits 223 have learned that the reminder has been noticed and the reminder does not repeat again for a short interval of 15 minutes. After that, the phone user does not necessarily have to do anything to reactivate the reminder. This is accomplished by the "time-out" structures 5 to be constructed between steps 310c2 and 310e6 of FIGS. 5A and 5C, as shown in FIG. 5D.

The beginning of Figure 5D.

In Fig. 5D, step 310d of Fig. 5A, which is a selection, is replaced by a process step 310dl which has a number of functions. In the partial process of Figure 5D, the operation comes to step 310dl from step 10c of Figure 5A 310c2, K “Key pressed”. As the key is pressed, the user of the phone has received and responded to a reminder at step 31 Ocl, the most distinctive reminder of the reminder by a voice identifier. As a result of pressing this key 310c2, K, the operation has not returned to the beginning with the "time-out" structure of steps 310c2, 310c3, 310c4 preceding the current operation.

Objective of the 5D "time out" structure in Figure 5D.

The main goal of the 5D “time-out” structure in Figure 5D is that no re-activation is required when you do not want to • change the reminder interval or reminder itself. The 5D "time-out" structure in Figure 5D takes 20 of its own from step 310e5 to step 310e6 when no "yes" or "no" is selected for the reminder reminder interval within the set time, e.g., 30 seconds. Because also in step 31, the Od 1 logic circuits 223 always display 111 selection situations, that is! the question of whether the reminder is repeated regularly and the user selects the "no" key or the "yes" key, the reminder progress could also stop if neither of the 25 choices is made. However, in this case, too, the progression does not stop and no reactivation is required, since step 31Od is also best associated with a "time-out" function which results in an automatic "yes" selection after a set time, e.g., 30 seconds:. When, for example, the time measured by the timer 228 or timer circuit of FIG. 2C, for example, 30 seconds ... · passes by without the user reacting, the logic circuits 223 will therefore select "yes".

·: ··. 30

The flow of action in Figure 5D in the first "time-out" structure.

. . : The operation of Figure 5D is as follows. In step 3lOdl, the logic circuits 223 display 111 questions, "is the reminder regularly repeated?". Further, the logic circuits 110465 58 set a timer 228, (or, e.g., a countdown calculator 229, or alternatively a clock 227 which measures the time e.g. 30 seconds) during which the telephone user can select "yes" or "no" while the logic circuits 223 are read. keyboard. In step 310d2, the logic circuits determine whether the "yes" key has been pressed. If the "Yes" key is pressed, step 5 proceeds to step 310e5. If the "yes" key is not pressed, the logic circuits 223 determine whether the "no" key 109 is pressed. When the "no" key is pressed, the process proceeds to step 323b "Delete". If the "no" key 109 is not pressed, follow step 310d4 and the logic circuits 223 determine whether the time (e.g., said 30 seconds) has run out. If the time has not expired, go to step 310d2. If the time has elapsed, process 10 proceeds to step 310e5 where, for example, "Do you keep the 12h reminder interval selected" is displayed on the display 111.

The flow of action in Figure 5D in another "time-out" structure.

In step 310e5, the logic circuits set a timer that measures, for example, 30 seconds, during which time the phone user can select "yes" or "no" while the logic circuits are reading the keyboard. In step 310d5, the logic circuits determine whether the "Yes" key 109 has been pressed. When the "Yes" key is pressed, the process proceeds to step 310e6. If the "yes" key 310d5 is not pressed, the logic circuits 223 determine whether the "no" key 109 is pressed in step 310d6. When the "no" key 109 in step 310d6 is pressed, the process moves to step 310e7 20 "Select unit of time? Hours? Minutes". When the "no" key 109 in step 310d6 is not present. ·: Printed, follow step 310d7 and logic circuits 223 check if time is up. If the time has not expired, go to step 310d5. If time is up, the process; ·; proceeds to step 310e6 where, for example, "12h reminder time selected" is displayed on screen 111. Step 310e6 returns to where logic circuitry 223 periodically scans 25 reserved addresses in memory 207 to determine if there is a reminder, or a telephone number stored for making or recalling a call, or (step 303). . * the reminder will be repeated in due course after twelve hours.

Steps 323b, 325 of Figure 5D.

30 When "Yes" is selected in step "delete" 323b, the process at its simplest progresses to step 325 and the reminder is removed from memory 207. More preferably, display 111 shows i. For example, in step 325, for example, the prompt "Push the button to remove the reminder or number and time to call / reminder" and to confirm this, and to avoid any mistake, you need to press 59 110465 again 109 to reset the reminder. The operation then returns to the beginning. “The valinta selection in step 323b takes the action to step 324 of figure 10B“ do you select a default ”.

5 From Step 310d6 to Step 310e7 and 310e8.

Operation proceeds from step 310d6 to step 310e7 as logic circuits 223 reads from keyboard 108 that the "no" key has been pressed. From step 310e7, it is possible to select "Yes" to go to step 310e8 to select the reminder in hours and minutes. From step 310e8 the operation returns to the beginning. Selecting “No” in step 310e7 takes you to step 310e9 of Figure 5C, where you can set the reminder interval in days.

Change a preset reminder time.

When the user of the phone comes from the process 300b of Fig. 5A, he is already in the reminder function, e.g. the interval is already selected. Alternatively, he may have proceeded, for example, through step 323a 15 of Fig. 10B to the list 400d of Fig. 12B with the complete reminder he wishes to make regular or whose regular reminder interval he wishes to change. In each of the latter cases, he enters, through steps 352h and 352j, k of Fig. 12D, at the junction 310el5 of Fig. 5C, then automatically to step 310e5. For example, if he wants to change the reminder interval, he proceeds to "no" to go to step 310e7, for example, · 20 to choose a new regularly repeated reminder in hours and minutes in step 310e8. He may then, in step 310e8, change the pre-selected reminder time to another, much like making a completely new thing reminder interval that will return as the description of the invention progresses. If he wants to change any of his former reminder days into days, he goes to steps 310e9 and 25 3 lOelO. If he wants to change any former reminder interval into months, he goes to steps 31 Oe 11 and 310el2. If he wants to change any former reminder interval to years, he goes to steps 310el3 and 310el4. For process 1100, ··· in Figure 5C, with a basic solution of a different phone 100, days can be added between days * and months * in the same way, if deemed necessary.

Selecting a completely new reminder time, or changing a pre-selected reminder time steps 310e7, 310e8.

When the user of the phone, for example, after entering step 310e5 of Figure 5C via the junction 310el 5 30 110465 60, e.g., "do you confirm now? The key 109 used as the "no" key, or any key leading to the "no" option selected in the alternative mode, logic circuits 223 actuates step 310e7. When the user presses, for example, the "Yes" key in step 310e7 or one of the 5 keys leading to the "Yes" option selected in the alternative operating mode, the operation proceeds to the process 310e8.

Process 310e8.

The process 310e8 includes functions in which the user can, in a known manner, increase and decrease the numbers on the display 111, or use the keypad 108 to enter numbers at the hours and minutes indicated on the display 111 and thereby set the reminder interval in hours and minutes. and the reminder text and possible symbol stored in step 40Id. It is advantageous to track the action so that the start time can be set separately, from which the reminder will then repeat at regular intervals. When the user presses eg do you confirm now? As a yes-15 key 109, he confirms his new reminder, independent of steps 310e5, 310e6, for example. This reminder option has a time option as the number that is displayed in hours and minutes during confirmation and as a reminder itself, e.g., the text and symbol he has created using steps 401a, 401b of Figure 10B or the reminder time he wishes to change 20, after a reminder of e.g. process 300B of FIG. 5A. Alternatively, in a known manner, he can also alter or completely rebuild the reminder text in steps 310e8, 3010el, 310el2 and 310el4. From step 310e8, the operation starts cheaply, for example when the user presses confirm now? 109 for the Yes key.

Completely new reminder.

· / · When a completely new reminder in step 310e5, 310e6 is re-selected in addition to the 12h as described above, for example, after a selected time of eight hours, a new regular reminder time can be accessed by logic circuits 223, e.g. your doctor has prescribed an antibiotic course. Phone user can also do eg step 310e8 do you confirm now? No selection, which will not activate the selection, and: 'will return to the beginning. He can also advantageously remove any previously selected time, text and symbol selection by going to the necessary step from which 110465 61 is deleted, such as step 310e8, 31 Oe 10, 31 Oe 12, or 3 1 Oe 14 and doing so, e.g. Use the no key to select "no", or the corresponding "no" option for the selected phone mode, or to erase the data by pressing the C key, for example. If you want to delete only the text and / or symbol of the reminder when no time has been selected, 5 the user of the phone will proceed as if the time had been selected and confirm now? The non-selection. Alternatively, he handles only the text and / or symbol of the reminder in step 401b of Figure 10B.

Steps of Figure 5C 310e9, 310el0, selection of days or days rhythm in equal days.

10 Alternatively, user press confirm now? The non-key key 109 in step 310e7, wherein the logic circuits 223 actuate step 310e9. When the user presses the "Yes" key in step 310e9, the operation proceeds to process 310el0. The process 310el0 includes functions in which the user can, in known manner, increase or decrease the number of days displayed on the display 111, or use the keypad 108 15 to enter the number 111 on the display and thereby set the time in days. step 40Id to the reminder stored on the display 111 and memory 207. When the user presses, do you confirm now? Using the Yes key, 109, he confirms his new regular selection and the action begins. It is advantageous to follow the action so that the start time can be set separately, e.g. 20 1 1.55, from which a regularly repeated reminder then starts to repeat at regular intervals In this case, in addition to the times selected in steps 310e5, 310e8, for example, even once a day, or alternatively eg after 7 days, a new time is displayed in logic circuits 223. at the chosen time, eg 11.55. Alternatively, worse, the reminder is scrollable at the same time of day as the recording was made, and the reminder time cannot be influenced by selecting the time of recording. Thus, the function counts only whole days, and if you want a reminder at a certain time of the day, you must also save it at the same time, · '/ · or be able to set the start time separately.

When the user presses eg do you confirm now? Using the Yes key 109, he confirms the selection and the action begins, being the selected time, e.g., most often even after one month, as always available at 28 p. Of the month. It is advantageous for function 5 to be arranged so that a start time can be set separately, from which the reminder then begins to repeat at regular intervals.

A more basic mode of operation.

Alternatively, worse, the reminder is stored at 28 p at the same time of day as 10 it wants to be repeated. In either case, the recording is made so that it can be viewed by logic circuits 223. In this case, the user of the telephone can use telephone 100 to remember to pay his monthly recurring bill in a timely manner. Preferably, he may choose how many days of the month the reminder will occur, regardless of the number of days in the month, with the clock device 227 aware of the dates. Alternatively, the reminder is performed every 30 days, irrespective of the number of days in different months with steps 310e9 and 310el0, for example, relating to days or days.

Relatively simple exercise on a regular basis.

In this way, regular reminders are, in fact, relatively simple to implement on a regular basis. In a more advanced pattern of regular reminders, you can, for example, set the same time repeatedly in addition to the recurring date and set the time in addition to the number of days.

10

More sophisticated model.

As an example, in a more advanced model, the reminder can be set to repeat daily, pause for a desired number of days after that, then add e.g. 8 hours to the original reminder time, and repeat for 15 specific days, take the desired pause after a certain number of days and then add eg 8 hours to the current reminder time. For example, persons performing such shift work, such as intermittent three-shift work, need this kind of reminder time, which proceeds according to a certain order. to get the wake up on time.

Preferably, the reminder is automatically marked by a command transmitted by the program code as automatic execution of the logic circuits 25 223 by a suitable identifier in step 401b. In this case, the reminder will be recognized in list 400d in steps 447d and 350d, and in both of these; ·. · 'Steps, for example, the text: "Reminder, do you save to go to reminder menus."

Alternatively, the "Yes" -5 selection in step 348d, 35 Id will only serve as a passage for any reminder, and the recording is not mentioned in step 347d, 350d, nor is it done in step 349d, 352d. In this case, steps 347d, 350d ask, for example, the question: "Do you go to regular reminders?". Select "Yes" in step 348d, 352ad to move the action forward to step 349d, 352d, the logic circuits223 pass the action to the next step. When the reminder and any symbol 1 or 2 are brought to their destination 10 in the correct location for the reminder function, e.g., the reminder function 310e8, 310el, 31Oel 2 or 31Oe 14 in Figure 5C, a "yes" selection is made to effect the reminder and reminder time.

Steps 310a-322, 311e, 323 of Figure 5A, Ring Reminder.

When, in step 310a, the logic circuits 223 find out that the information displayed in the memory 207 includes a telephone number to call, the process continues in the "yes" direction. ·. to step 310b. In step 310b, the telephone number retrieved from memory 207 is displayed on the display 111; '' 'And related information such as the time stored in the memory 207 and any name information associated with the number on the display 111. In step 311a, the logic circuits 223 determine whether the telephone number 30 in question is stored in the memory 207 in advance. If the phone number is.!. 'Stored in memory 207, confirmed in advance, the process proceeds, for example, to that shown in Figure 6a · to part 1 of process 300b or, optionally, to process 300b2 of figure 6b.

If the phone number is not pre-confirmed, the process proceeds to step 311c 66 110466 and the phone 100 calls the voice tag associated with the unverified call stored in memory 207 from the speaker 105. In step 31Ld, the phone user selects whether to confirm or cancel the call. Steps 3l le or 3l lf, 322 and further to step 323 and possibly step 325 5 proceed as explained in connection with process 300a.

Figure 6A, Steps 311a-311b.

In Fig. 6A, step 311a of Fig. 5A has been moved to step 31b b of process 300b, since logic circuits 223 have found that the telephone number 10 currently displayed on display 111 is stored in memory 207 with prior confirmation. The process 300b 1 automatically proceeds without user intervention, so that in step 311b, via a voice generator, a corresponding voice code, usually associated with a pre-confirmed telephone number stored in the memory 207, is called through the speaker 105. In an alternative, more sophisticated system, a voice generator uses a voice generator 105 to call a unique voice identifier stored in the memory 207 associated with this particular telephone number, which is individually associated with a 15 pre-confirmed call. The latter unique identification code is then called if the user of the telephone 100 has added it to the telephone number and / or the corresponding name from the memory 207 available in the range of sounds. Said unique tone code is formed e.g. by first ringing a corresponding tone code usually associated with a pre-confirmed telephone number stored in the memory 207i, and thereafter alternately ringing and / or ringing tones assigned to said telephone number.

· Figure 6A Step 312-313a.

In step 312, the logic circuits 223 generate an "off 25 hook" function according to the instruction attached to the program code. In step 313a, the logic circuits 223 activate dialing, that is, directing the telephone 100 to send the displayed telephone number 111 as a dialing signal: · to a telephone connection.

Figure 6A Step 313b-313c.

30 In step 313b, the logic circuits 223 check to see if there is an alarm on the called number.

: · In step 313b, logic circuits 223 count, for example, four alarm signals before: The process proceeds, for example, to step 313c to start the timer. However, the call may proceed in such a way that the connection is established before the four alarm signals are fulfilled. This counting to four 110465 67s is made e.g. by the counter 229 shown in FIGS. 2B, 2D to ensure that the alarm signal is no longer likely to be converted to a fax signal. If the number is ringing four times, it is not at least the fax machine that opens first. If the logic circuits 223 find out that the detected alarm signal becomes another longer signal before the four alarm signals are full, then it is likely that the signal becomes a fax signal. The process then proceeds to step 3d and proceeds as fast as the phone is busy. Since call attempts to a fax number would still continue with this structure, Figure 7, which will be discussed later, shows an improvement to the system.

10 Figure 6A Step 313c.

Proceeding to step 313c of FIG. 6A, step 313c sets, for example, both the time selected for making the telephone for the duration of the call attempt and the number of call attempts selected in the settings, for example, and initiates a timer for each operation. This is done, for example, by means of a clock device 227 and / or at least one timer 228. Thus, there may be, for example, two timers 228 whose operation will be resumed later. One timer 228 is shown in the general electrical drawing in Figures 2C and 2D. In addition to the time elapsed in step 313b, the duration of the call attempt may be, for example, 30 seconds. Call intervals can be, for example, 10 seconds or 15 minutes or something in between or longer. At least for call attempts, the Interval is best modifiable. i settings.

· ·

If logic circuits 223 learn in step 313b that the number being dialed does not; '; Alarm, the process proceeds to step 313d. Logic circuits 223 may find out that the number is not Alarmed, for example, by digital signaling. Finding out is facilitated by, for example, busy-25 signal, and the alarm signal follows a certain commonly agreed signaling method. One way of distinguishing the busy signal, the alarm signal, and preferably even the queuing signal in a digital telephone, such as mobile phone 100, is to process and recognize these signals in digital format by comparing them in memory 207 for comparison purposes with a series of reference digits. The logic circuits 223 can then use this comparison. ,, · 30 to find out whether it is a busy signal, an alarm signal or a queue signal.

Steps 313b-313e reserved function.

If logic circuits 223 find out that there is no Alarm on the number, step 313b moves 110465 68 in the "no" direction. After logic circuits 223 has determined in step 3 13b that the telephone number is busy or at least that the number is not Alarmed, for example on the basis of digital signaling, the process continues to step 313d. Most preferably, step 313b determines whether the number is alerting or not, and step 313d determines whether the number is busy or not. At step 313d 5, the display 111 may display, for example, the word "busy" or a word or symbol having the same meaning. In the next step 313e, a timer is set for both the call attempt duration and the call attempt interval. The duration of the call attempt can be short, set by the phone manufacturer, and does not need to be changed by the settings. For example, when logic circuits 223 are sufficiently reliable to determine that a telephone number is busy, it is sufficient for the process 10 to continue. However, it is advantageous if the phone user is able to detect this as well. Call intervals may also be short, so you can immediately see when a number is released, and this time period may be set by the phone manufacturer. Alternatively, the Call Attempted Timeout for a busy number can be changed by the user of the phone 100 separately from the alarm number (not shown), and this time can be set to a very short 15 eg 5 sec if there is an urgent need to connect. If you are not in a hurry, you can use the buttons 109 to select, for example, 15 minutes or more. If the digital signaling indicates that the number is neither busy nor Alarm, the process proceeds in the system 300b 1 of Figure 6A and in the system 300b2 of Figure 6B as though the number were busy.

In the next step 314 of FIG. 6A, and 6B, logic circuits 223 checks whether a connection has been established. If the * t t connection was not established, the logic circuits 223 continue to check whether the connection was established. Check!

When the attempt time of the connection 25 has ended without a connection being established, in step 316 the counter is incremented and the handset is closed by means of a software function. If the counter becomes full (step 317a), the process proceeds: in process 6A of FIG. 6b to step 317d, where the gain is removed in advance, and the process' returns.

Figures 6A and 6B show that when a counter 229 of the 110465 69 shown in General Electrical Drawings 2B, 2D is not yet full, step 317c checks whether the Call Attempts Interval has ended. The check is continued until the timer set in step 313c or 313e to measure the interval between attempts to call measures the elapsed time. The choice of call attempts, or call interval, may be made most easily by the phone manufacturer. Alternatively, the call interval 5 is selected e.g. as in step 333 and 334 of the process 300 dl of the process of FIG. 10A for a separately pre-confirmed call. As the description of the invention progresses, this will be discussed in more detail. After the call interval has elapsed, the handset is reopened in step 312 and automatically attempts to redial as described above. Then the process starts again from step 312 and the above-mentioned off hook function is executed.

From the flow chart 300c of Figure 7, the fax machine steps 313b to 313 f2.

The subprocess of Figure 7, from the flowchart 300c, is more advanced than the process 300b1, 300b2 of Figure 6A and 6B because logic circuits 223 respond with a different response when they detect a fax signal, a queue signal, an alarm signal, and a busy signal. This 15 is shown in an expanded subprocess description of process 300b in FIG. 7c. Logic circuits 223 count, for example, four alarms in step 313b before proceeding to step 313c setting the selected time in the timer to the maximum duration of the call attempt and triggering the timer.

fax machine. If the logic circuits 223 find out that the alarm signal becomes a fax signal before the four alarm signals have been completed, the process returns without great delay to the initial "no" branch of steps 313d and 313fl. Alternatively, the number of alarms to be counted in step 313b may be higher than four to indicate that there is no fax machine that will be turned on if the telephone does not answer after multiple alarms ['·. Before the process returns to step 313 f2, the prior confirmation is cleared and the logic circuits retrieve from memory 207 to display 111, for this purpose, the »i ·· words stored in memory 207, preferably e.g.," Probably a fax machine ", and possibly 1; 30 “pre-confirmation removed”.

This also avoids the unnecessary cost of having the fax open 70 110465 many times, but not creating the desired voice connection.

Steps 313d-313e, busy signal.

The process 300Cetenates steps 31b to 313c as well as process 300b2 as depicted in Figure 6B. 5 As the process proceeds in the "no" direction from step 313b, the process enters step 313d. In step 313d, the logic circuits 223 find out whether a busy signal is involved. In the case of a busy signal, the process proceeds as in step 313e of FIG. 6B. When the logic circuits 223 find out that there is no busy signal, the process proceeds to step 313 fl. In steps 313c and 313e, the selected time is set in the timer for the maximum call attempt duration 10, as in the corresponding steps in Figures 6A and 6B, and the timer is started.

Callback signal

It is advantageous to set a queue signal or a corresponding queue duration longer than, for example, the duration of a call attempt to an alarm number. The duration of the call attempt 15 may be, for example, up to 5 minutes or longer, since exiting the queue only because of a new call attempt to the same number may very likely drop to the queue last, which is undesirable. From Figure 7, it can be seen that as step 313d proceeds in the "no" direction at step 313f, recognition of the queue signal occurs. If the ·· logic circuits 223 recognize the queue signal, the process proceeds to step 313g. In step 20 313g, the selected time is set in the timer for the duration of the call attempt to the queue number and ..j: call interval. The selected time can be specified by the phone's 100 manufacturers or '' alternatively, it can be changed by the user in the settings (not shown).

Some ways to isolate signals and screen the queue signal.

Logic circuits 223 may find that the queue signal is present, e.g. by screening the remaining signal in the following manner. If logic circuits 223 receive in step 313b. . find out that the number being dialed does not ring, the process proceeds to step 313d.

Logic circuits 223 may find that the number does not alarm e.g. which senses, for example, the duration of the alarm and busy signals. 30 longer-lasting signals as alarm signals and shorter-lasting signals as busy signals.

; _ · Next, the logic circuits check the signal detector to determine if there is a fax; . a typical long duration of the signal by comparing logic circuits 223 with the reference duration stored in the memory 207 by means of logic circuits 223. Alternatively, the electric or acoustic oscillation frequency providing high 110465 71 tones in loudspeaker 105 is identified by comparing it with a reference frequency stored in memory 207. If it can be ruled out that there is no fax signal, busy signal, or alarm signal, the telephone 100 proceeds through step 313f to step 313g, selecting a long duration call. Yet another means 5 for separating the busy signal, the queue signal, and the alarm signal, and possibly the fax signal, is to process and recognize the digital signals in the digital telephone by comparing them with a series of reference digits stored in the memory 207.

Music Queue.

10 Nowadays, the queuing function is often controlled, for example, from the control panel, such that the control panel operator opens the line and transfers the call so that music can be listened to while waiting. The user of the telephone 100 may respond to such a situation by selecting a speakerphone call. Then he hears when the music stops and the call is answered, even if, for example, he is doing other things in the room. Then he can react when the music stops by taking 15 phones 100 from the desk, for example, to answer the phone.

Figure 7 Steps 313c, 313e, 313g -314-315.

The process continues after step 313c and step 313e and step 313g with step 314.

1 In step 314, the logic circuits 223 find out whether a connection is being made. When a connection is made,; ' The voice channel 20 is opened programmatically and the process continues to step 318, which is seen e.g. in process 300a of FIG. 3A. Advantageously, the operation process may also continue through the intermediate steps shown in process 3A shown in FIG. 3A, e.g., subprocess 5A and further, e.g., subprocess 300d2 of FIG. 10B. Logic circuits 223 continue in step 314 to determine if. the connection is established until the connection attempt time ends in step 315 or the connection is established. When the attempt time for the connection 25 expires, without establishing a connection, the subprocess 300c of the flow diagram of FIG. . to sub-process 300b.

· Interconnection of processes.

. The interfaces of the processes 300c and 300b may be interconnected. . understand, for example, by superimposing steps 315 of the same number. A similar overlapping technique is used elsewhere in the description of the invention to illustrate the interconnection of different parts of the processes 72 110465 and to clarify the overall picture.

Figures 8 and 9 send a short message: "You are reaching out to Mr X for the telephone number ..."

Figure 8 and Figure 9 illustrate an operation process that proceeds from step 315 to send a text and / or voice message to the 5 number being dialed. In Figure 8, the message only leaves when the auto call attempts have failed. This function can be used eg during leisure time. In Figure 9, the SMS is sent immediately after the first unsuccessful call attempt and can be used, for example, during busy hours when high efficiency is required. In the latter case, for example, a person who is silent on the cell phone during a meeting or silenced by the beep function can, for example, be informed of the arrival of a text message by means of a vibrating battery or a small beep. Then he can do the following: • 1. View the message and, for example, leave the meeting for a moment to make the call itself if it is urgent and to call.

• 2. Press to answer a short SMS without leaving the meeting.

15 · 3. Get informed and decide to respond later.

Figure 8 subprocess 300b 315-317f, 317m. Whether short message sending is selected.

Step 315 of Fig. 7 or corresponding step 315 of Fig. 6B leads to step 315 common to Fig. 8, where Figures 7 (further alternative 6B) and 8 are superimposed.

• · •, · 20 In step 8 of Figure 8, the process proceeds by incrementing the counting count ... · by incrementing one and closing the handset. In step 317a, the logic circuits 223 check whether the counter is full. Step 317a is also common to Figure 6B. When the counter is not full, the process proceeds in the "no" direction to step 317c in Figure 6B. When the counter is full, logic circuits 223, in step 317e of FIG. 8, checks whether a short message 25 transmission function is selected. Fig. 6B does not include step 317d of Fig. 6A, where the preamble is removed and returned to the beginning. When in Figure 15, for example, the text message function according to step 407 is selected. ·. · If the connection is not reached with, for example, ten call attempts, the process proceeds to the functions of Figure 8. ··· For example, a telephone number can be eg. transmits Figure 12A, 12B MA in list 400 * * by selecting "Yes" in step 352c so that the telephone number ends in Figure 8t _. 30 to 317f, whereby a short message such as "you are seeking ..." can be sent easily; * whenever you like, whenever you want. When the logic circuits 223 find out that the Short Message Transmit function (step 405 of Figure 15) is off, the process proceeds to step 317m where the logic circuits 223 pre-unmask and the process returns. After this, the 110465 73 process will change to a ringing reminder format and the phone 100 will no longer ring automatically, but will ask on screen 111 do you confirm now? the process subsequently proceeding from beginning to step 311 d (process 300A of Figure 3A, process 300B of Figure 5A) or the like.

5 Figure 8 Steps 317e-317 gl.

When the logic circuits 223 find out in step 317e that the short message transmission function is selected, the process proceeds to step 317f. In this case, logic circuits 223 discover, for example, whether the number to be accessed is in the list in memory 207 where the number to which the short message is attempted is stored, for example, whenever the telephone 100 proceeds to the short message sending function 10. For example, the list may be the same as the list of special shortcuts that can be dialed by numbers 1-9, or the list of all numbers alphabetically followed by name. Preferably, the short message function is selectable on and off so that short messages are not sent when the function is off. In step 317f, the logic circuits 223 determine whether the cellular number is a number by comparing a prefix with a list of cellular prefixes 15, e.g. 2000 in Finland. Area codes such as 040 and 050. When the logic circuits state (step 317f) that it is any mobile direction number, e.g. 050, the process moves to step 317g.

In the next step 317, the g2 logic circuits 223 programmatically generate a send function attached to the program code 5. In step 317 g2, the logic circuits 223 then activate the dialing in the memory 207 to the message center, open the message connection and direct the telephone 100 to send the displayed or still displayed telephone number and the associated message "You are seeking ..." to be forwarded to the message center. Logic circuits 223 use the SMS number of the message center 10 in memory 207 as a dial tone for the telephone connection belonging to the message center and for managing the SMS connections. Further, in step 317 g2, when the connection is programmatically opened, the telephone 100 transmits information containing an SMS message and closes the message connection. The message to be sent includes the phone number to which the message center must send a text message when it is connected to the number.

After this, the process returns to the beginning, but the autodial is no longer repeated, but becomes a reminder function, stopping at step 31 Id:.: 20 (Figure 3A, Figure 5A, process 300b). The call requires prior disarming (step 317 g3) to re-confirm with the buttons 109 to proceed (step 31 Id), or the call in question can be deleted, or the settings can be changed, e.g. Anyone; '; in this case, the sent text message is now attempted to be forwarded via the SMS service to the said number as soon as the communication is possible or possible.

, *. : When logic circuits 223 does not find the prefix of the call in question in step 317f from the list of mobile area codes when making that discovery, the call proceeds in the "no" direction to step 317j. In step 317j, the logic circuits 223 further check whether 30 is likely a landline. This can be done, for example, by comparing to a specific list of!! Prefixes that are not landlines to which speech can be sent. Such a,,: negative list may include, for example, numbers in the list of speed dial numbers in memory 207 that are associated with a fax or identifiable attribute associated with a communication connection.

110465 75 An attribute whose existence logic circuits 223 discovers may be, for example, the word "fax" or an agreed character to be stored in memory 207 for this purpose in a telephone user guide. For example, by means of said sign or said word, logic circuits 223 find out that this is a non-speech connection. Said character is stored in the memory 207 of a telephone 100 equipped with a communication technology (not shown), e.g.

Positive list.

10 A negative list such as that described may be confirmed, for example, by a positive list of telephone numbers that have been confirmed as having a voice connection. As an alternative to the above, said positive list may be, in addition to the "no" response from step 317f, the only underlying starting point for logic circuits 223 to determine in step 317j whether the audio recording can be transmitted. When a user of a telephone has identified a telephone as a landline 15 to which he / she may sometimes wish to send a voice message via an automated function, he / she marks that telephone number as such landline telephone, for example by activating the voice message possible in keypad 108 in the voice message operation menu.

Further, or alternatively, the list may be automatically incremented, for example, each time the "hold" key or 25 key combinations or the like is pressed on the keypad 108 (step 319), and when the logic circuits 223 determine that the call to be held is not mobile phone number with front number.

Phones in this list are most likely normal landlines but not fax machines. This is confirmed if step 316 does not increment the counter or close the handset due to the end of the connection attempt in step 315 and when that phone number lacks 5 cellphone prefixes and the end key or the like has not yet been pressed. Thereby, signaling is sent to the logic circuits 223 to include the telephone number in the list of normal landlines. In this case, it is likely that a voice connection to the landline is established. Logic circuits 223 may find this out, for example, by observing whether a sufficient number of said conditions are met or receive said signaling.

For example, for operations between steps 313c to 316, it may be associated with a telephone with a voice message request request function that, for example, when the timer starts in step 313c without incrementing the counter and no end button 15 has been pressed, for example signaling to logic circuits 223 for routing telephone numbers. In this case, it is likely that a voice connection has been established. Logic circuits 223 can find this out, for example, by checking for Seville whether the three conditions mentioned are met: *; · 1. Starting the Timer or Clock (Step 313c).

20 · 2. The fact that the counter has not been incremented after the timer or clock has started (step 316).

• 3. The End button has not been pressed yet.

Manage list size.

25 The new number is stored in memory 207 in the top landline list as the list is completed. The list size can be limited to save memory space if needed. This:, '· is done, for example, with numbers such as area codes for certain mobile phones, for example, up to 90. When 90 reaches the bottom of the list, the rarely used numbers overflow when new numbers become upper and 30, for example, 99 is fulfilled. Voice mail transmission selected; '' The operating principle of the list of landline telephones can be understood as described in FI 89652: '. in the light of the operation of the speed dial list on the telephone. In addition, 9 specific mobile phone direction numbers can be added to the list of landline phones of the present invention by using the keypad 110465 77 108, e.g., from a list of all speed dial numbers in memory 207, for any reason preferring to send voice messages over text messages. This ratio of 90 to 9 between landline and mobile phones is, of course, only exemplary. Logic circuits 223 determine whether the telephone number in question is in the list of 99 numbers mentioned to ensure that the voice message can be transmitted.

Steps 317j-317m in Figure 8.

When the logic circuits 223 find out that this is not a landline telephone, the process proceeds to step 317m with the same consequences as described and understood from the explanation of step 317g3. In this case, the advance confirmation will be removed.

Step 317 Cl.

When found to be a landline phone, the process proceeds in a "yes" direction to step 317 kl. Step 317 k1 assembles the recipient's 15 number information on screen 111 or still on screen 111 and the request or format requested by the service provider, such as the telephone number of the telephone 100 and / or the identifier of the recording to be transmitted. Based on this information, the service provider identifies the sender of the message forwarding request and knows which voice message to send and to which phone number the voice message should be sent. For this purpose '·· The voice message provided by the service provider's voice recorders may be, for example, "You are being sought by Mr X ... from 123456789. You are asked to contact" 123456789 ". Said information related to the sending request is forwarded to the message center telephone number of the message center.

Step 317 k2 25 In step 317 k2, the logic circuits 223 activate from memory 207 a number dial that belongs to a message center that manages voice communications as a service provider. The actual message: ·. the most important main content for instant message center operation is the telephone number to which the user of the telephone 100 wants to send their voice message stored in the voice message center when. · The connection becomes possible. The following content is to identify the message being sent, especially ·: ··, 30 if and when, for example, the same customer can have more than one voice message that is desired. : · For transmission. The final content of the message contains the billing information necessary for the service provider to reimburse his services. However, this last-mentioned information can most advantageously be transmitted first in the transmission order, e.g. from SIM card 110465 78, to identify the calling device 100 calling to the message center at the beginning of the message center before processing other data. The technical operating principle of the messaging center may be based on techniques known from various voicemail services. Of course, the message can also be altered and modified from "You are trying to ..." to the specified format. It is 5 advantageous if the server is able to permanently store the message “You are reaching for…” and there is a separate recording for the individual messages needed at any given time to convey the unique content.

A new type of service is needed.

10 For this purpose, it is best to have, for example, a slightly new type of commercial server where the voice message reserved for this purpose has already been stored in advance before sending the message. The said service or provider transmits an audio message from its server when a connection is established.

15 Step 317 k3, pre-disarming.

In step 317 k3, the gain is removed in advance. Thereafter, the process returns to the beginning, but the autodial is no longer repeated, but becomes a reminder function, stopping at step 31 Id (Figure 3A process 300a, Figure 5A process 300b). The call requires confirmation in advance; > · 'After deleting (step 317 3) to reset the confirmation by pressing the keys 109 to · · 20 (step 31 Id) or the call in question can be deleted or changed in the settings e.g.

Fill in the date. The process then returns to the beginning.

Figure 9 is a partial process 900 as an alternative extension to process 300b. The text message is sent immediately when a normal connection (step 314) is not established by an automated call.

25

Steps 314 and 315 of Figure 7 (or corresponding steps 314, 315 of Figure 6B) lead to Figure 9: '. with the common steps 315, where Figures 7 (6B) and 9 are superimposed. In step 901 of Figure 9, the process proceeds with the handset being closed.

30 Step 902.

. '|' In step 902, the logic circuits 223 determine whether the information stored in the memory 207 as to whether or not: '·. SMS already sent to the number to which the ongoing call activity is taking place, during this call sending period. If information from memory 207 is not found, then 110465 79 will be exported there now if an SMS is sent. The information is stored in the memory 207 in a form that is associated with this particular automatic call, and the information on the SMS already sent is always erased from the memory while the confirmation is removed in advance (step 911, or 913). This step 902 reduces call costs as well as the amount of "unnecessary" telephone communications.

5

Steps 316-317c.

In step 316, the counter is incremented. In step 317a, the logic circuits 223 check whether the counter is full. Step 317a is also common to Figure 6B. When the counter is not full, the process proceeds in the "no" direction to step 317c shown in Figure 6B.

10

Step 903.

In FIG. 9, in step 903, the logic circuits 223 determine whether a short message sending function is selected. When the logic circuits 223 find out in step 903 that the short message sending function is selected, the process proceeds to step 904. Preferably, the short message function 15 is selectable on and off, so that short messages are not transmitted when the function is off. This operation is shown in the subprocess 700 of Figure 15. When the short message transmission function is selected, logic circuits 223 determine whether the telephone number being called is one that includes a cellular area code (step 904). This has been explained earlier; ··; 8 in more detail in the description of the invention. Alternatively or additionally, step 904 checks, for example, whether the number sought in the list in memory 207 stores the numbers in which the short message is attempted, for example, whenever. . the telephone 100 proceeds to the short message sending function. Preferably, the user can choose whether to transmit. · · Short message only to certain numbers of his / her choice when the short message function is on, or to all speed dial numbers (not shown), or, for example, to any of the 25 numbers available in memory 207. For example, the list of dialed numbers may be the same as the list of shortcuts that can be dialed by pressing 108 on a single keypad. The list of speed dials in the present invention generally refers to the numbers in memory 207 that are retrieved from the phone's internal alphabetical • ·· Phonebook (Ex. 800 process in Figure 13), as well as numbers that can be dialed and •: · · 30 called numbers 1 through 9, and may additionally r ·: * be in or outside the directory whose operation is described in part process 800.

: * ·. Alternatively, the list only contains certain numbers that are defined as belonging to the list (the function is explained in more detail elsewhere).

80 110465

Step 904.

In step 904, the logic circuits 223 find out whether there is an inertial direction number by comparing the prefix to a list of prefixes of the mobile directions, e.g. Area codes such as 040 and 050. When the logic circuits state 5 (step 904) that any mobile direction number, e.g., beginning with 050, is involved, the process proceeds to step 905, preferably taking into account what is described above in other related lists.

For example, when the short message sending function is off, follow step 316.

When logic circuits 223 find out that the short message sending function is not on, or that it is not a mobile telephony direction, the process proceeds to step 316. Furthermore, the process advances to a step once the SMS message has already been sent. This allows the counter to be incremented one step at a time (step 316) mm. to limit the maximum number of call attempts (e.g., 10).

15 Step 905.

As the operation proceeds to step 905, the SMS is compiled and sent as can be understood from the description of steps 317g1 and 317g2 in Figure 8. All the functions required for sending a text message described in the above steps are described here in conjunction with one * step 905. When the short message function is selected and the connection in step 314 for some reason · · "20 fails, the operation proceeds normally with the first attempt to% 905 and the second party. The person you are trying to call may, for example, * receive a text message at a meeting and notice it, for example, on the screen. · · · Notice that he has received a text message when his phone is built to silence even when it is silent; In particular, the phone 100 is built with such a distraction feature, which makes it very compatible with another: · a similar phone 100.

··· Steps 316-317.

30 After sending the SMS (step 905) the counter is incremented (step 316). When the counter is not; 'J' full, the process proceeds to step 317a, and in the 'no' direction from step 317a and the automatic call: ·. allows the connection (step 314) to be retried. The automatic call is repeated when the call attempt interval, which is measured by timer 228, is complete, e.g., in step 317c of FIG. 6B.

81 110465

Steps 906-907 Getting started with voice messaging activities.

When the counter in step 3 17a becomes full with, for example, the tenth call attempt, the operation proceeds from step 3 17a to the "yes" direction to step 90 (5. It is then possible to send an audio message according to the following operation process. In step 906, logic circuits 223 is not a landline telephone, the operation proceeds to the "no" branch to step 912, When the function SMS + voice message (step 40S of sub-process 700 of Figure 15) is found to be off, the process proceeds to step 913 where logic circuits 223 pre-unmasks and returns. the call reminder format changes and the phone 100 no longer rings automatically, but asks on screen 111 10 do you now confirm ?, the next step from step one to step 3 1 Id (Processes 300A, 300B) or similar, this feature is good when you don't want to send a voice message to such a speech lime, to which an SMS has already been sent in step 905.

Step 912 and 907 However, it is advantageous if the telephone 100 is provided with step 912 for situations where it is desired to send both a text message first and an audio message afterwards to ensure delivery of the message. There are people who, for example because of their urgency or the disadvantages of noise or aging, for example, do not always notice the text messages they receive, but answer the phone when it normally rings to play a tape transmitted by the voice messaging service. Step 912 20 can be activated by the user 100 choices of the telephone 100, e.g., by selecting the "+" key or "yes" - ,,,, in the control operation menus sent via SMS in the subprocess 700 of Figure 15.

, ··· In this case, when the “A'-selection in that menu (Figure 15 step 408) is on, and. '* SMS to send a message request to the voice message feature and the respective centers of both servers or service providers. This will try to send both messages wherever possible. This feature is also particularly good in countries where there is a large number of mobile phones that do not have SMS capabilities.

Step 907 is below the "village" branch of step 912. Thus, the operation process may proceed from step 907 to step 912 for the "yes" branch, or from step 906 for the "yes" branch. In step 907, it is checked whether the short message function (Fig. 15, step 406 or 409) is selected. When the 30 short message function is not selected, the operation proceeds from step 907 to the "no" branch •>: T to step 913 where the pre-confirmation is canceled and the call returns, changing to a "_" reminder mode. When step 407 of Fig. 15 is selected, operation proceeds as depicted in Fig. 8, preferably depending on e.g. 158 of Figure 15.

tC- »· 110465 82

When the short message function is not selected step 907.

For example, a call proceeding from step 903 (whether short message is selected) to "no" branch to increase the counter (step 3 16) is further directed to step 907 (whether short message is selected) to "er branch" to step 913 where the prior confirmation is cleared and the process returns 5 becoming unpredictable.

Step 908.

In step 908, the recipient's number information which is on screen 111 or still on screen 111 is compiled and the request or format requested by the service provider, such as the telephone number of the telephone 100 and / or the identifier of the recording to be transmitted. Based on this information, the service provider identifies the sender of the message forwarding request and knows which voice message to send and to which phone number the voice message should be sent. For this purpose, the voice message provided by the service provider for voice recording may be, for example, "You are sought by Mr X ... from 123456789. You are asked to contact the 15 number 123456789". Said information related to the sending request is forwarded to the message center telephone number of the message center.

Step 909.

* ^ * * *. * '! In step 909, logic circuits 223 activate from memory 207 a number dial belonging to 20 message centers that manage voice communications as a service provider. The main content of the actual message t * »* · ,,,, for the immediate operation of the message center is the telephone number to which. * · * The user of the phone 100 wants to send his voice message stored in the voice message center when: '' the connection becomes possible. The next content is to identify the message being sent, especially if, and when, for example, the same client may have more than one voice message that is to be conveyed. The final content of the message contains the billing information necessary for the service provider to reimburse his services. This last mentioned information can be '. However, it is most advantageous to transmit first in the transmission order, e.g. from a SIM card, to identify the telephone device 100 calling to the message center in the message center right from the start before processing other data. The message center's technical policy may, by applying "30 be based on techniques known from the various voicemail services. Of course, the message may also * be altered and modified from" You are trying to ... "to be different. On ',' · advantageous if the server is permanently storing the message ... in addition, a separate recording can be made, or, for example, after one use of a standard recording 83 110466 an automatically erased extension for the individual messages needed at any given time to convey unique subject matter.

A new type of service is needed.

5 For this purpose, it is best to have, for example, a slightly new type of commercial server in which the voice message reserved for this purpose has already been stored in advance before sending the message. Said service provider forwards the voice message from its server to the telephone to which the direct connection (step 314) has not been established as soon as the communication connection is established.

10

Step 911, pre-disarming.

In step 911, the pre-confirmation is removed. Thereafter, the process returns to the beginning, but the autodial is no longer repeated, but becomes a reminder function, stopping at step 31 Id (Figure 3, process 300a, Figure 5, process 300b). The call requires prior deletion of the confirmation 15 (step 911) in order to originate a new confirmation with the keys 109 (step 31 Id e.g. process 300a) or the call in question can be deleted or the settings can be changed e.g. The process then returns to the beginning.

Figures 13 and 12A access the list of other settings and the list itself.

Several references have already been made in the description of the present invention to the so-called. "To other settings and 15 options list". Before the description of the invention proceeds to Fig. 10B, Figs. 13 and 12A will therefore be presented in said orientation. Figure 13 shows one process 800, which is one path to the list of other settings and options shown in Figure 12A.

; ·; Figure 13 shows a partial process 800.

20 The main purpose of Figure 13 is to present the so-called. a transfer process (step 809, 810) for transferring numbers to the list 400a of subprocess 400a. Figure 13 illustrates a subprocess 800 where ... a telephone number can be dialed from an internal, e.g., alphabetical, telephone directory of telephone 100, stored in memory, · · 207, and can be dialed in a conventional known manner e.g.

by pressing the “select” key (step 807). Step 807 leads to a call process described by the so-called. 258 "black box" 808. Alternatively, this number can be transferred (step 810), for example, by pressing the "transfer" key 109 or a combination of keys (step 809): * ·: to be stored and used in other settings list 400a. Also: For the purpose of the present invention, the transfer function • · · ', which is more central to the browsing function, is seen in subprocess 800.

Reservation of telephone number for various purposes.

The recording function is shown in Figure 12A. In Fig. 10B, the number stored in Fig. 12A can be applied in step 402 for automatic call pre-confirmation, or ·: ··. Alternatively, provide a call reminder for that number in step 401c, as will be described later in the present invention. The "Move" key can be used in conjunction with step 807 of Figure 13, e.g. depending on the mode of operation of the keypad 108 and the program code, e.g., one of the "yes" choices described above, using the appropriate key 109 5. Alternatively, a "plus" character "(+") on the keyboard 108 may be used, or a key 109 on the keyboard 108 having a square sign (#) or an asterisk (*) may be used. Alternatively, any other suitable key, such as the same key used "Confirm now" key, or "hold" key, or another key representing S-move or T-transfer, or any of the 10 appropriate key combinations, for example, as instructed by the display 111 and telephone 100 user guide.

Getting Started.

The sub-process 800 is accessed, for example, from vessel B shown in FIG. 13 through step 709 15. Top B can be reached, for example, by turning the phone 100 on. In this case, the first page is displayed on the display 111, i.e. the display 111 is so-called blank (step 709). In this case, the display preferably reads, for example, the name of the operator and describes the field strength and the battery charge status 225.

•: 20 Accessing the transfer function.

The description of the invention now discloses an advantageous way of accessing the transfer key (step 809) and transferring the desired number to the list 400a by means of step 810. A radiotelephone 100 that! '! constructed as described above, and its use and function sub-method for porting a telephone number will now be described with reference to Figure 13, wherein the flowchart shows the operation of a radiotelephone 25 as a sub-process 800. Similarly, 300d2. make different choices in accordance with this invention.

30 Starting from a blank page.

When the phone is ready for operation, it is shown in Figure 13. a blank page, or the front page (step 709). In step 802, the logic circuits 223 read the keyboard. Keyboard 108 can now do many different things, one of which is addressed in the present invention.

110465 86

In step 803, the logic circuits 223 determine whether the forward key has been pressed. When the forward key is pressed the first time the screen is called. blank, logic circuits 223 retrieves from memory 207 the next telephone number (step 804), which is the first in alphabetical order in this case since starting from B and 5 on the front page of step 709. Step 804 is followed by step 801 showing the first alphabet name and associated phone number Alternatively, according to another preferred embodiment of the telephone 100 selected by the telephone user, the display 111 displays only the name but not the associated telephone number.

10 Step 802.

Step 801 is followed by step 802, whereupon the logic circuits read the keyboard 108. In step 803 it is checked whether the forward key has been pressed. When the forward key is pressed again, the logic circuits will retrieve the next name of the alphabet and its associated number, etc. so that repeated presses can be used to scroll through the entire phonebook in 15 alphabetical order. If the back key is pressed another key instead of the forward key (step 805), the logic circuits will, in this case, since leaving the front page 709, search for the last name of the alphabet and the associated number (step 806). From step 806, the operation proceeds to step 801, where logic circuits 223 out of memory 207 display 111 the last name of said • · · alphabet. From step 801, the operation moves to step 802 where logic circuits 20 223 read the keyboard first in step 303, then in step 805. When the back key • »is pressed again (step 805), the loop process is repeated to retrieve the last previous name of the alphabet. scroll through the entire 'phonebook in alphabetical order backwards.

25 Jump functions.

For example, after the first or second press, you can press a letter key: '·. (not shown), which allows you to jump to that letter (not shown) in the alphabet, after which you can, for example, continue browsing as described above to find the correct name. In this case, the action "jumps" over several letters of the alphabet if necessary. ·: ·· '30 by means of function group 708 depicted as a black box, which represents in graphical form:::' non-shown search and hopping functions with all its features. The so-called 111 screen. From step 709, it is possible to navigate from step 709 using a selection function which is not shown in the description of the invention but is known per se, e.g., by typing the name 109 on the display 110465 87 111 and pressing the select key or alternatively the OK key according to selected construction. select to find the matching phone number associated with the name. Here too, the process shifts to the so-called. the black box (708) and the number can be dialed by pressing the dial key (step 807), and the telephone 100 dials 5 (step 808). Also, the call function following pressing the 100 selection keys on the phone is described as a so-called. a black box 808, which preferably contains all features known per se for calling. Alternatively, the telephone number may be transferred by means of step 810 to be stored in a list of other settings and options of sub-process 400a of FIG. 12A for later use.

10

Step 807.

When the forward key and the back key are no longer pressed after the desired number has been displayed on the display 111, e.g. as described by the "arrow" keys, the process then proceeds to step 807 where logic circuits 223 check whether the selection key is pressed. When the 15 dial keys are pressed, the operation proceeds to step 808 "call", where the normal calling process occurs in a known manner.

Step 809.

; When logic circuits 223 find out in step 807 that the selection key has not been pressed, process 20 proceeds to step 809, which is central to sub-process 800 of the present invention. In step 809, logic circuits 223 determine whether a transfer key, e.g. “#” Key pressed. When the "transfer" key is pressed, the process proceeds to step 810. When the transfer key is not yet pressed, the logic circuits 223 move along the "no" branch again from start to step 802 to read 25 keyboards. Alternatively, you can make an arrangement for pressing the square key to make the move by "yes" in any of the ways described above, or else with the plus: \ key (+).

··· Step 810.

: · 30 When the transfer key is pressed to step 810, the selected telephone number displayed on the display proceeds, ·: · 111 may only visibly represent the name that is still advantageously displayed on the display 111.

From step 810, at least the numerical information, preferably also the name associated therewith, is transferred to the list of other settings and options according to the subprocess 400a shown in Fig. 12A to step 88 110465 347.

Step 347 of Figure 12A.

Step 347 may provide information from process 800, or process 300d2 of FIG. 10B, from step 323a 5, via "interconnector" 346, which is the subject of ongoing operations. In step 347, or preferably in step 351, the logic circuits 223, in addition to the display text and any telephone number displayed on screen 111, further display a question on screen 111 such as, most conveniently, "do you save?". When the "Yes" command key is pressed at step 348, the operation proceeds to step 349. In step 349, logic circuits 223 stores a name and a number in memory 207 in a memory location from which that telephone number is available for any of the functions described below.

Proceeding to process 300d2 of Figure 10B.

Above all, the telephone number can be activated as described in description 15 of steps 401c and 402 of FIG. 10A. Then the telephone number is ready and the call reminder function, which at the right time reminds to call that telephone number, can be activated in step 401c of Fig. 10A by pressing a call reminder confirmation key such as a "confirm now" key or another consistently selected key combination. Alternatively, a pre-confirmed call can be activated: 20 by pressing a pre-confirm key such as the "confirm now" key or another consistently selected key combination for "yes" selection in step 402 of FIG. 10A. After each alternate activation, it is possible to select the call time or reminder time, and the call intervals or reminder intervals.

25 Alternatively, the number can be transferred to the display 111 for use in step 300d2 as a reminder (steps 401a, 401b, 40Id) in Fig. 10B, or ported immediately, for example, without: '·, standard automatic call attempt with robotic call · ...

At step 352b, the display 111 asks, "Do you want to send a text or voice message right away ..." When using "keypad 108" in step 352c to dial "yes", the number goes to step 902 in Figure 9, or 317f in Figure 8. as if it had come from step 314 when there was no connection through the automated call 10 and the message function of step 157 of figure 15 would be on.

Further steps may be attached to the chain of corresponding steps (352b, 352c). As an example, a slightly larger subprocess 400b of Figure 12B, two steps, step 15 352d, are added where logic circuits 223 display a "no" option after pressing "no" in step 352c using the 109 key selected in step 352c. . ”This text message is triggered by the" yes "option in key 109 in step 352e. Hereby, the SMS proceeds from step 352c to step 902 of Figure 9A, or step 317f of Figure 8. The "No" selection in step 352e causes the t '20 process to proceed to step 401a in the process 300d2. Thus one can see that task

the execution may advantageously be accompanied by a message acknowledging that the task has been completed. When the task I · .. is completed, the phone sends one (step 352e) or a few keystrokes 109 1 to access step 352e semi-automatically to the phone to pre-set a text message (Ex: "task 1 done") to the agreed SMS or data device, who can also receive message success messages such as supplies or merchandise orders.

Moving to list 400b.

The transition to list 400b is, in principle, effected, for example, by the process 300d2 of FIG. 10B: ·····················································································hinghing From the corresponding steps of Fig. 10A, it is not possible to move to the "f: 'items 400a, or 400b of the case reminder list 400a or 400b depicted in Fig. 12A or 12B because process 300dl does not have a matter reminder function. Instead, the corresponding list may have a number of other necessary functions including message sending functions (steps 352b, 352c).

Figure 12A, Step 353 Symbol 1.

When "no" is selected in step 351 of Figure 12A, the process proceeds to a portion of the list of image symbols in step 400a to step 353. Figure 12A shows only a portion of the list of other settings and choices 400a (subprocess 400a). For example, the entire list 400a may include several image symbols, such as a medicine and opened or "open" vial symbol 1 (step 353) and a depiction of a moving-looking or "truly (display 111) moving" passenger car symbol 2 (step 356), such as for example, the wake-up symbol, the meeting symbol, the physical work symbol, maintenance such as the 10 grease press grease symbol, etc.

Transferring symbol 'to the reminder function.

When the operation has proceeded automatically from step 353, where the display shows the drug delivery symbol to step 354, where the display 111 preferably displays, for example, the question "Do you save" 15 the user can make a yes selection. The logic circuits 223 then store the symbol 1 in memory 207 in a memory location reserved for the symbol from which the symbol 1 can be moved to step 401b by selecting "yes" in step 401a of FIG. 10b. The symbol thus becomes accessible to the "matter reminder" step 401a, which is seen in the process 300d2 of Figure 10B. From this position, symbol 1 can be moved by pressing the "move" key in step 401a, such as the # key or alternatively the asterisk key (* key), in step 10B of FIG. 10B, where the action automatically moves from step 355, ·· * through step 401b In step 401b the symbol sits in the space reserved for the symbol 4 * *. · * In addition, in step 401b, the reminder text and related numbers can be entered using keyboard 108 in step 40Id. If you select "no" in step 40Id, the process returns to the list of other settings and options 400a via 346.

Change selection chain, For short message or auto-call.

When "no" is selected in step 352c of Figure 12A, for example, the telephone number imported from step 5323a of Figure 10B will move with its associated name e.g. through steps 347-348-349, proceed to step 401a of the subprocess 300d2 of Fig. 10b as a "reminder". In this way, for example in the call reminder function, the unsuccessful call attempt can be transferred to the pre-confirmed call chain 323a- (346) -347-348-349-352b-352c-401a-401c-402. The chain is long but requires only two "yes" choices (steps 323a, 348) and three no selections 10 (steps 352c, 401a, 401c), after which a pre-confirmation "yes" option can be performed (step 402). However, it is known that once the basic principles of an activity or invention have been brought to the public's attention, fruitful development work, for example, by those skilled in the art begins to develop ease of use and practicality. For example, this chain of functions can be shortened directly from step 323a to step 402 if it is considered the best 15. However, in this case, the choices made by the user, for example, to transfer the telephone number by these means to the short message function (steps 352b, 352c) or in connection with the reminder of the matter (steps 401a, 401b, 40Id) are lost.

When the user of the phone 100 has selected "Yes" in step 65C of Figure 12C, the operation of the phone 100 then proceeds to step 601c2. In step 601c2, logic circuits 223 recall from memory 207, for example, the words "Select Time 1" or a corresponding number, letter, or symbol that 10 expresses the same idea but leaves 111 space reserved for printing the time itself when the Time 109 key is entered. e.g., numeric keys for the desired time, e.g., 08.30, controlled by logic circuits 223 to the correct position on screen 111. Logic circuits 223 direct key 109 to forward numeric keystroke in step 601c2 to said time slot, e.g., 15 to 24 hours in hours and minutes, Alternatively, you can make or change the time display as a 12-hour presentation in any obvious way. The phone user can make corrections or changes to your keyboard commands. n in any way that is familiar to those skilled in the art until you are satisfied with the time of your choice. After selecting 20 times, he can go to step 601d2 and select "yes" by pressing, for example, do you confirm now? Yes (step 601d2) or in a different alternative structure of the telephone 100, by pressing the corresponding yes or OK key, for example.

'! If he / she is not satisfied with the time of day he / she chooses, he / she selects the "no" option by pressing, for example, the "no" key depending on the selected telephone 100 (step 25 601d2). The operation process of the telephone 100 then returns to the list of other settings and / or options 400c. As a result of selecting "No", logic circuits 223 erase time 1 from memory 207. '. : off in step 602a to avoid possible confusion. Time 1, or reminder 1: '' 'cannot be cleared except by selecting "no" in steps 602a2 or 602b2, so reactivation is

... · redundant unless you need to change the reminder time or reminder content. For example, Figure 5A

.... In step 310e3, for example, the regular reminder 1 described here will only be deleted from "this item".

Step 601d2, 601e2.

When the user of the telephone 100 selects "Yes" in step 60 ld2 by pressing the required 110465 101 key 109 or key combination, the logic circuits 223 store the time in memory 207 for a reminder function, and the key function changes to a keystroke 108 step 601e2). Logic circuits 223 will then display 111 such as "key in reminder 1?" The best time entered in the previous step 601c2 is also displayed on the display 111 in its own position. Preferably, logic circuits 223 further display, in step 601e2, from memory 207, for example, text "reminder 1" or a corresponding number, letter, or symbol that expresses the same idea sufficiently, leaving 111 space for displaying the reminder itself. 12a-12d may be accompanied by motion graphics such as a picture of an opening bottle as described elsewhere in the description of the invention A picture of a bottle or other symbol replacing or complementing the text placed in memory 207 may be selected by the user 100 of the reminder. and retrieve from memory 207 15 to the display 111 a dedicated location when the user selects it from step 353 of Figure 12C, for example. The search path passes through step 601t2 of Figure 11B, whereby the "yes" selection in step 601t2 takes to junction 346, from which you can proceed to retrieve symbol 1.

Step 601Π2 selects whether reminder 1 is stored in memory 207 (step 601 £ 22) j. ' 20 for reminder functions, or to clear time 1 and reminder 1 from memory 207 (step: · 602b2). In step 601 £ 22, the logic circuits 223 record the reminder text selected in step 601 e2 •: * * and a possible symbol in the space provided for them to complete the reminder:. 207. Thus, e.g., symbol 1 stored in step 354, 355 of FIG. 12C moves in response to said •. step 601Π2 for “yes” option in reminder in step 601 £ 22.

Repairs and changes.

^ The user of the telephone 100 may make corrections or changes to the key commands in any known L. manner until he is satisfied with the reminder, as well as the time and any symbol. To accept the reminder, he goes from step 601Ω2 to Uky ”by pressing, for example, do you confirm now, or yes, or any key combination that. . has been consistently selected from the alternative building models of the phone 100 to move the • I · operation of the phone 100 in the “yes” direction. This structure, which retains consistency, holds true. '. f: At other points, the manner in which the telephone 100 is constructed, but alternatives are provided to indicate that the structure or claims of the telephone 100 are not limited to a particular selection of one type of keyboard 108 and operating commands.

Step 601g2.

5 In step 601f22, the logic circuits 223 use the keypad 108 to store the typed text with any selected symbols or characters in memory 207 for repetitive action every day, with reminder 1 as a whole. Thus, logic circuits 223 find a reminder, e.g., in the solution of FIG. 5A, at the same time each day while browsing memory 207 for a reminder or number in step 303. In step 310d, logic circuits 223 10 discover that reminder 1 is regularly repeated. In this case, step 310el is automatically followed, whereby logic circuits 223 from memory 207 to display 111, for example, the text "Do you delete this day?" Or the like.

Removing the reminder in Figure 5A and 11B.

15 In Figure 5A, the reminder can only be deleted for that day, but reminder 1 will repeat over and over again in the following days unless it is cleared by "no" in step 601Ω2 in Figure 1B, step 601 602 followed by step 602b2 and a written reminder the time is cleared from memory 207.

20 Reminder 1 selection only.

Thus, the user of the telephone 100 can confirm reminder 1 and time 1 by selecting "yes" in step 601Ω2. Preferably, in step 602f22, logic circuits 223 display, for example, the words: "Reminder 1 saved." When the user of the phone 100 does not want to be reminded 2, he * does not select time 2 (step 601g2 “key in time2”) or reminder 2 (step 601j2). If 25 does not want to be reminded 3 he can also select “no” in step 601h2 or 601k2, he then gets the time 2 selection wiped in step 602c2, or the time and reminder wiped in step 602d2. 1B to step 601c2 in Figure 1B, or "no" to step 401a in Figure 10B.

30 When the phone user wants to make a reminder 3 but not a reminder 2 he; * without entering the time of day 2, selects "yes" (step 60 lh2) and the telephone 100 moves; (to step 601j2. The logic circuits will then bring up the text "do you type reminder 2". When he does not want to make reminder 2, he makes a "yes" choice without entering reminder 2. This allows 110465 103 to make the selections required by reminder 3. past reminder 2 he can also go past reminder 3 if he so wishes, if he only decides at this stage that he does not want to be reminded as reminder 1.

5 Alternatively, he can do the following: Enter the time 601g2 in step 2; make a yes or no recording of time 2 in step 601h2; causing the time 2 selection to clear in step 602c2 and return to the list of other settings or options 400c; key in reminder 2 in step 601j2; make a "yes" or "no" selection in step 601kl2 for recording or erasing a reminder; clear 10 in step 2 and reminder 2 in step 602d2 and return to the list of other settings and options 400c; save reminder in step 2 601k22; enter 601 m2 in 3 steps; make a yes or no recording of the time of day 3 in step 601n2; causing the time 2 selection to clear in step 602e2 and 15 returning to the list of other settings and options 400c; enter reminder 601p2 in step 3; make a "yes" or "no" option for recording or erasing a reminder in step 601r 12; clear time 3 and reminder 3 and return to the list of other settings and options 400c in step 602f2; stores reminder in step 3 601r22; return to menu 400c with reminder 1 and / or 2 and / or 3 without deleting via step 601s2 using the "yes" option in step i «20 601 rl. Before returning to menu 400c, select whether you want to go to junction 344 of Figure 12C. In step 601t2, the "yes" option will take junction 346 or * · · *, according to an alternative construction, to another list step 400c in step 352g; option takes you to step 352f.

25 Controlling Message Functions Selection Using Subprocess 700 of Figure 15.

In Figure 15, subprocess 700 illustrates one way in which automatically operating message functions can be turned on and off. The operation can be understood by comparing the added steps 405-409 with the alternative stiffness of Fig. 10B. In Figure 15, the telephone user can ... use keypad 108 to make the choices shown below, by pressing "yes" or "no" - .... 30 to select 109 or a combination of keys.

• The phone user, for example, from the list of other settings and options 400a, 400b, or 400c in Fig. 12A, 12B, or 12C, will display the corresponding step 401a in Fig. 15B in Fig. 15. From step 401a, he can continue with step 401b with "yes", where he can e.g.

110465 104 writes the reminder to the display 111. In step 40Id, he can save the reminder for use in the reminder function, or return to list 400a of other settings and options in Fig. 12A if that version is used in conjunction with Fig. 15.

5 Options that are not directly related to the messaging function.

In the next step 403, he continues to choose whether to go to step 404 where he can decide whether or not the MA 400's other settings and options go. Selecting “Yes” in step 403 takes you to step 323a, which also gives you access to the MA 400 menu with “yes”, or “no” to step 323a “delete”. From step 323b, you can delete the information by selecting "yes" and by selecting "10" to go to step 324 and so on (see Figure 10B 328-333 '). There is no messaging feature.

Access to messaging features.

When the phone user selects "no" in step 401a, he goes to step 401c, from which the 15 "yes" option takes him to step 405, from which he can select on or off the message function. After proceeding from step 401c to step 405, then all settings apply to the call reminder. The "No" option in step 401c takes the user to step 402, pre-confirmation. From step 402, you can also go to step 405 with the "yes" option.

20 Activating Messaging Functions, Steps 405- ···: When “Yes” is selected in Step 405, the messaging function is activated. The "No" option, in turn, takes you to step 403. When you select "Yes" in step 405, the operation proceeds to options 406- ·; ·. 409.

The first choice 406 is to select whether to send an SMS immediately after the first 25 failed calls from the auto-dial function, or alternatively, in accordance with this preferred example, the call reminder function. Doing so. ·. proceeds as shown in the alternative sub-process 900 of Figure 9. Selecting "yes" will automatically send an SMS when the first attempt to connect is unsuccessful, which of course is not desired, but is already being prepared for.

.... 30 The "No" option in step 406 takes you to step 407. In step 407 you can "yes" -, I. ' with the option to choose to send a text message if the connection is not made at all by the auto-call attempts, e.g. when the counter fills with the tenth attempt of step 317a of Figure 8. A similar so-called. according to this preferred embodiment, the number of call attempts calculated by the counter or, more correctly, the calculator 229 may also be filled in step Slid manually, e.g., ten times after the call has been confirmed in the call reminder function.

In step 408, a "yes" checkbox can be selected. + Function. In this case, in addition to the text message 5, the request for sending an audio message is sent, whether or not the text message has been sent, for example, from the message center. This function verifies the delivery of the message, for example, if the recipient does not notice or have time to read the incoming SMS, or if he / she does not have the SMS feature on his or her phone. As explained in Figure 9, subprocess 900 900 checks in step 912 whether the SMS function + the voice function is enabled.

10 The "No" option in step 408 takes the user to step 409 to select whether they want to automatically send only an audio message. This option is suitable, for example, when calling a phone that does not have SMS capabilities, such as a landline phone. In addition, the choice is appropriate when it is suspected that a text message may not be responded to promptly, for example due to hurry, noise, or due to being a little further away from the phone, and may not be able to hear a short beep.

Exit message options.

After the selections made in steps 406-409, the operation also moves, for example, in Figure 10B

...; to visible step 323a. In step 323a you choose whether to go to step 323b (delete) !: 20 or to step 404. In step 323b you can select the default (step 324) or go further to select and start the playback or reminder times and call or reminder intervals in the picture * »• · · ' .

Fig. 2F, recorder to be connected to mm. automatic call.

Figure 2F further shows a recorder 230 coupled to the control circuit 209 via its own line 23 Ib 25. Figure 16 shows step 313 β, where logic circuits 223, after establishing a connection in step 314, start recorder 230 to play a prerecorded recording to the corresponding one. The establishment of the automatic connection in step 314 causes the logic circuits 223 to switch: 'to power on the recorder. This allows the defendant to immediately know who is reaching out to him.

., | The recorder 230, or alternatively another sound recording and reproducing device, is provided with, for example, the following 30 sound recordings: “You are pursued by John X on an automatic connection. Wait. This is also audible from the loudspeaker 105 of the phone 100 amplified by the amplifier 213b. This gives the phone user time to pick up and answer the phone. Whoever is calling understands the wait and learns that it is only dealing with 110465 106 automatic devices. At the same time, the logic circuits display a message from memory 207 111, for example, as shown in Figure 1F: “Automatic connection established. Recorder in progress. ”When the tape is played to transmit the message, the logic circuits 223 start rewinding the tape (not shown).

From step 3130, the process proceeds e.g. to process 300a2 of Figure 3B, or process 300a3 of Figure 3C. In step 318, the logic circuits 223 generate a beep to remind you to press the hold key. In both of these processes, the pre-gain is cleared as previously described and the process returns if the "hold" key 10 is not pressed (step 319) within the set time (step 320). This will close the handset (step 321) and pre-disable the gain. This will change the function to a reminder mode (step 321b) if, for example, the user of the phone has not been present to press the "hold" key. Advantageously, the call record will remain in the list of calls made from the Combined Call. Most preferably, the list will include an entry indicating that there were 15 automatic calls.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and differences or adjustments may be made to the radiotelephones of this invention without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. As an example, the phone can vibrate »» 20 or send light instead of emitting tones from speaker 105, for example, to · signal the progress of an automatic call or alert the user to make a call; a loudspeaker separate from the loudspeaker 105 may be used for transmitting audio; phone number can be! '! input and display of the name and telephone of the called party can not find the name of the memory and which corresponds to the telephone number stored in the memory; the input information may be input through the connector 25 113, shown in Figure 1A, which may be coupled to the control circuits 209 instead of the keyboard; the playing time or reminder time can be entered in a time period starting from the present time which: '·, can then be changed to hour and minute instead of entering the playing time in hour and minute format; the call can be terminated automatically, for example, when a busy signal is detected; the call time may include days of the week or dates, and the logic circuits 223 of the clock device 227 or ·; · 30 timers 228 may be aware of the day or date of the week ··· '; the reminder concerns a medicine to be taken at a specific point in time; taking medicine reminder 110465 107 (step 310cl) is used in combination with a "remembering" medicine kit that shows when the medicine should be taken next and when it was last taken, whereby the memory methods are complementary; telephone 100 transmits, by pressing a selection key 109, telephone 100 to a pre-set audio recording, such as a tape recorder, by speaking a voice message stored in microphone 107 for forwarding, e.g., to a voice message center; the telephone 100 transmits a pre-recorded voice recording directly to the desired person using the dial key; the telephone 100 transmits a pre-recorded voice recording by auto-call directly to the intended person by means of a clock device later when a voice connection is not immediately established; 10 that the reminder (step 310cl) or alarm (step 1001, 1005, 1009, 1013, 1017, 1021, 1025) of the case is directed to a repeated occurrence of reactivation of the air; that the reminder can be set to repeat regularly at the same time, e.g. at the same time of the day, at the same time of the week, at the same time of the month, or alternatively at intervals of certain days, or e.g. , 310e6), regardless of the date, or the day of the week, or without having to confirm the setting (step 310e5) by pressing the 109 key more than once, if you do not need to change the setting; that a reminder such as an alarm can be set to repeat on certain days of the week, such as weekdays, at the same time (step 1001, », * 1005, 1009, 1013, 1017) once a wake-up time is selected, and that on certain days of the week, such as weekends 20 (step 1021, 1025) a regular alarm can be omitted or selected>: for example at a later time on weekdays; that auto-dialing can be selected to occur at a particular point in time by means of a clock device such as a timer 228 such as a counter, '; wherein said counter has a preloaded number, or timer 228 may be an RC circuit or any other type of circuit providing, for example, a signal or a current flow of a certain duration.

In summary, one can say, that the telephone assembled in accordance with the present invention includes e.g. built-in combined call and / or case reminder, and, (| auto-pre-confirmed phone number torsion features, which gives an advantage to one of 30 electronic devices so that it can both remind the user when it comes.! ' can pre-programmed the actual call itself.

Further, the phone may automatically send an SMS message when a voice connection cannot be made, or a voice message sending request to the message center, or alternatively, to the desired telephone number of a voice recording stored on its own 108 110465 audio device. Further, the phone can postpone the reminder or auto-call to a later time or completely remove the reminder or auto-call.

It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments shown, but that many modifications may be made by various combinations of all the means set forth herein and in the following claims.
