Abstract

An Infrared communication system through an optic fibre for mobile phones comprises an infrared transmitter 1, an infrared receiver with ear piece 2, an optic fibre3, a coupling power 8, a coupling signal 7, a mobile phone 6, By connecting the Infrared transmitter 1, to the mobile phone 6, the signal from coupling signal 7 is received into the infrared receiver with ear piece 2, the power is supplied by the coupling power 8. The microphone 4, sends a signal back to the mobile phone 6. By a coupling signal 7. Lapel clip 5 is integral to the infrared receiver with ear piece 2, for choice of placement by users.

Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1>
Optic fibre infrared communication system for mobile phones, by hands free method.
The present invention relates to an optic fibre infrared communication system for mobile phones. More particularly, but not exclusively, it relates to such a system for use with all types of mobile phones.
It is well known that mobile phones have hands free communication devices, that are used generally when phone users do not wish to hold the phone to the ear. This system operates with wires, these wires when coupled to a mobile phone carry the transmission signal from the mobile phones transmitter, directly to an earpiece and microphone hands free device.
However, it is not known that to combine an infrared transmitter and receiver, to a mobile phone, by coupling, that the transmission signal from the mobile phones transmitter can be transmitted by an infrared transmitter through an optic fibre to an infrared receiver with ear piece. The signal by the microphone device is transmitted back to the phone by wire, but the transmission to the ear piece is by optic fibre. This system operates without a wire directly from the mobile phones transmitter, to an earpiece.
It is the object of the present invention to provide such a system and to provide a combination of the system to all makes and all types of mobile phones.
According to the first aspect of the present invention there is provided a communication system which can be coupled to all mobile phones comprising an infrared transmitter, and an infrared receiver with ear piece.
This transmitter and the receiver are coupled through an optic fibre.
Preferably each communication system will operate when the user receives any communications Advantageously the optic fibre connects the transmitter and receiver permanently together, although as a whole unit it can be uncoupled from the mobile phone.
<Desc/Clms Page number 2>
An embodiment of the present invention will now be more particularly described by way of example and reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of an optic fibre infrared communication system for mobile phones. The term infrared is the description given to a system that is provided to make possible a transmission and reception along a light beam.
The term optic fibre is a description given to a material provided that allows a light beam to move freely from one end to another.
The term a mobile phone, is intended to include all provided phones
that are used where the user is ava : ! ab'e to receive phone ca"s Li ICAL 01 IM ; U, KWU VV I NIUM I-, Li..--mUme.---., e..,,, VAV, it rimt"ollklgm n wherever the user may be, and phones which could be coupled to the optic fibre infrared communication system.
The term hands free for mobile phones are devices which enable the user to use the phone without holding the phone to the ear, which is as the optic fibre infrared communication system for mobile phones of the present invention FIGURE 1 shows the relationship of the devices An infrared transmitter 1, and an infrared receiver with ear piece 2, are coupled by an optic fibre 3, a coupling power 8, supplies the power to the infrared transmitter 1, and a coupling signal 7, supplies the communication signal from the mobile phone 6. the infrared transmitter 1, transmits the signal along the optic fibre to the infrared receiver with ear piece 2.
The microphone 4, sends a signal back to the mobile phone 6. by a coupling signal 7, by using wire. The lapel clip 5 is integral to the infrared receiver with ear piece 2, for choice of placement by the users.
<Desc/Clms Page number 3>
FIGURE 2 shows the infrared transmitting system as it will be to host a variety of mobile phones. The coupling 7, and coupling 8, will be the only parts that will have to be changed as the coupling parts are not all compatible with all mobile phones.

Claims (7)

  1. CLAIMS 1. Optic fibre infrared communication system for mobile phones comprising of an infrared transmitter and infrared receiver connected by a length of optic fibre which is connected to a mobile phone and a hands free earpiece and microphone device.
  2. 2. A system as claimed in 1 being a connection between an earpiece receiver and a transmitter not connected by a metal wire encased in plastic, but an optic fibre which is all plastic.
  3. 3. A system as claimed in 1 or claim 2 that does not use the transmitter of the mobile phone for communication to the earpiece
    but has an infrared transmitter attachable and detachabie from the mobile phone.
  4. 4. A system as claimed in any one of the proceeding claims that the earpiece has no direct contact with the mobile phone apart from the plastic optic fibre attached to the infrared transmitter that transmits the communication signal by a light beam to the infrared receiver.
  5. 5. An optic fibre infrared communication system substantially as described herein with references to the accompanying drawings.
  6. 6. In combination, an optic fibre infrared communication system as claimed in any one of the proceeding claims with a mobile phone and hands free device.
  7. 7. An essential device to enable communication to other phone users without holding a mobile phone to a human ear and without a plastic coated metal wire from the mobile phone transmitter to the earpiece.
