Abstract

A two way text messaging device suitable for the hard of hearing comprises a display and a key pad for the entry of messages. The key pad may be similar to one typically used on a mobile telephone in which keys are repeatedly pressed in order to obtain a desired character.

Description

2360908 THE COMMUNICATING DEVICE.
This invention relates to a mobile phone, but without the mouth and hearing piece.
Communication devices are well known and play a big role in our everyday life. Many people have telephones which are useful but not useful for all types of people eg) the hard of hearing. There is a solution for this type of people who can use the minicom service but this is not a mobile service and is not always convenient for the hard of hearing.
According to the present information the mobile phone is irrelevent to this type of people. This is because functions on the mobile phone are not useful to the hard of hearing. This is because also a large majority of the deaf community are unable to communicate verbally and the frequency of many mobile phones tend to interfere with their hearing aids.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 shows and illustrates the electronic device.
Referring to the drawing the electronic device has a light 1, which will flash when a message has been received.
In order to send a massage the same principle will be used 2, as that on the mobile phone ie) number two on the key pad is pressed once for the letter "A", twice for the letter "B" and three times for the letter "C" and so on. This ensures the key pad is kept small. The ariel will be built in the device 3, so radiation is kept at it's minimum.
It will have a display screen 4, so your text messages are visible. And the device shall hold 5, a sim, card in the back of it.
It will have scroll keys 6, to read your messages and also to observe your different options.

Claims (16)

CLAIMS. This electronic device is to enable the hard of hearing to communicate from remote locations. The device will:
1) vibrate when a message is received.
2) a light will flash when a message is received.
3) to send a message the same principle is used as that on a mobile phone, ie) number two on the key pad is pressed once for the letter "A", twice for the letter "B" and so on. This is to ensure that the key pad is kept small.
4) After the message has been typed into the device the "S" button is pressed to send it.
5) It will be able to store any message that needs to be kept or delete messages not required.
6) The device is aimed mainly at the hard of hearing, or others who do not like using the telephone. Conventional and mobile phones are of course impractical for the hard of hearing.
7) It will be cheaper to manufacture than a mobile phone and more practical when interference is at it's peak.
8) It could be made smaller than a mobile phone.
9) A seperate network could be set up specifically for it to use or any of the existing networks.
10) Special one touch key pad would be set up to contact emergency services or a specific carer.
11) Special tariff rates could be set up with existing networks. However the cost of sending a text messages is a fraction of the cost of mobile phone charges.
12) A sim card would be used for own contact number.
13) Hopefully if existing networks could be involved, top up cards would be made available from Post Offices and Local Shops.
14) The device would be very advantageous for the hard of hearing to keep in contact with friends and relatives abroad, as messages sent abroad as text are very much cheaper.
15) Could also be voice activated.
16) It will have E-mail.
