Description

The closest analogue of the invention (prototype) of the claimed invention, as the closest to it in terms of essential features, is a message transmission method implemented in a radiotelephone designed to operate in a mobile communication system and comprising a transceiver associated with a control unit and including an emitter made in the form transmit-receive antenna (US patent No. 553736, CL 5 H04Q 7/20, 1994) and a method for measuring temperature and a device for measuring it (RU No. 2034248 C1, 04/30/1995; SU No. 1818548 A1, 30.05. 1993; SU No. 345702 A, 23.0 8.1972; JP No. 60111933 A, 06/18/1985; SU No. 1379647 A1, 3/7/1988; US No. 3861214 A, 1/21/1975).

Currently, some companies produce phones with built-in sensors for measuring temperature, for example, the Pantech G670 model. This model is intended only for measuring human body temperature. For example, in our case, for the implementation of the invention, models of sensors TC-1046 and TS-1047, currently available at the time, are available by the electronic industry, specifically Microchip, which are ideal for mounting on a mobile device’s circuit board or peripheral device (by upgrading) due to its miniature size and have the ability to measure not only the temperature of the human body, but also the surrounding air. These high-performance and high-precision temperature sensors, which generate a voltage proportional to the measured temperature at their output, can operate in the temperature range from -40 to +125, and in the whole range they have a linear dependence of the output voltage on temperature and the possibility of modernization in order to expand the boundaries of measurement. These sensors are available in 3-pin miniature SOT-23B cases, making them ideal for small-sized applications, such as cell phones and headsets, and the use of modern lithium-ion batteries for temperature sensors in a portable headset will help avoid frequent battery recharges. Due to the low power consumption, a device with a temperature sensor will be able to function independently for several days or even months.

Industrial applicability.

The invention can be used, in particular in such communication fields as mobile telephony of GSM, TDMA, JDS, CDMA and others standards; global satellite system for personal mobile communications IRIDIUM and GLOBALSTAR; trunked radiotelephone communications; personal radio stations. Also, this invention will find wide application in cordless phones. To do this, the phone must be equipped with at least Bluetooth.

Disclosure of the invention.

The objective of the invention is to quickly and accurately measure the ambient temperature in the place where the user is currently located, with the ability to measure temperatures using a mobile phone or a telephone headset, and in case of emergency, measure the temperature of the human body. For the implementation of this invention, a temperature sensor with a controller, with an integrated memory module can be located in or on the phone (in the form of an antenna, which is available on some models), placed in the headset of the phone or can be made as a separate external device with a built-in mic-phone headset to receive voice messages (sold in specialized stores in the future or included) that are paired with a mobile device via a wired or wireless radio channel (function I’m Bluetooth) and the possibility of transmitting in the form of a digital-to-analog signal with sensor information to the microprocessor of a mobile device for processing and displaying the phone in digital designation and / or in the form of a voice message (for an adapted phone). For more convenient operation, the temperature sensor can be placed in the headset or in a separate remote device designed exclusively for measurement, with the possibility of autonomous functioning. Moreover, a remote device or headset allows you to expand the capabilities of a conventional telephone (non-adapted telephone) with an additional function - temperature measurement. The user will not need to buy a new phone with this possibility, but only have to buy a headset or an external device with Bluetooth and a temperature sensor, configure it to work with a phone with a registration procedure for identifying a device that only interacts with a paired phone (or phones) , on the principle of “own” - “own” for security purposes against the possible penetration of viruses, unwanted contacts with other phones, etc. The temperature device may not have kretennost at the request of the user, i.e. interaction with all phones with wireless function (open mode). Also, for pairing with a mobile device via the Bluetooth function, the sensor can have its own identification number or the ability to assign a name for the privacy mode or the ability to transmit information via a special communication channel (adapted phone).

For a better understanding of the situation, we can give an example, suppose that a peripheral device with the Bluetooth function, after taking the temperature reading, is in the active standby mode for transmitting data to the phone, after recognition and confirmation by the user to receive information, it displays data with the readings. The same is possible in automatic mode after taking readings, the phone receives data without user intervention from a previously registered remote device and transfers the readings to the headset.

If a separate external device or headset is equipped with the wired connection function (adapted phone), then for connecting it to a mobile device, an additional input / output port can be mounted on the housing to accept only temperature data; for a standard headset, there is a connection socket on the telephone body. The connection socket can be made in a universal version. In this case, the telephone controller may be able to determine the status of the headset - with or without a sensor. Placing in a headset or a portable device will help the user to avoid some inconvenience associated with accurate temperature determination, first of all, taking it out of a case or pockets of clothes each time so that the temperature sensor is in the environment from which it is necessary to take readings (air or body person). In addition, by controlling using the activation button on the headset or external device, it is possible to perform a measurement function for transmission to a mobile device for storage and processing, and then from the phone to the display and / or as a voice message after pressing the same button again listen to information with sensor readings, which is associated with another advantage - without getting the phone to get temperature information. The same action algorithm can be programmed for the adapted phone. But due to the speed of the measurement device, the user will not have significant inconveniences of the phone with the built-in sensor, because the measurement time is calculated in milliseconds. Temperature readings can be made in several measurement systems taking into account the country where the telephone will be operated, such as Celsius - this system is adopted in the Russian Federation, Kelvin or Fahrenheit.

For temperature control, the sensor may be able to operate in non-volatile mode from the telephone, saving data in its own memory module and the possibility of further transferring data to the microprocessor of the mobile device in automatic mode after pairing with the telephone, turning it on automatically by timer, or reminding the user of a measurement programmed from the phone, with the indication in the phone’s memory of the date and time, which is convenient for displaying average temperatures (let's say rum to work during the week or during the day; morning, afternoon and evening). If the measurements were not made for any reason, the readings can be entered into the phone and manually using the keyboard (also with the date and time). To enable the temperature sensor, there are also several options (for adapted models); with the help of an additional button on the case in all versions of the telephone (folding, slider or classic model), and the folding model and slider also by translating to the working position, and with the appropriate settings, all models for incoming or outgoing calls, etc. An additional button can also be used to enable the data transfer mode to peripheral devices if the sensor is mounted in the phone after the measurement and processing by the microprocessor of the phone are completed, by pressing the button again transfer after the signal corresponding to or different from the others, or with the settings entered in the phone in automatic mode (adapted models). For these devices to work together, the mobile phone must first of all have the Bluetooth function, the corresponding firmware or the possibility of reprogramming, a special profile in the telephone menu for the settings for working with the sensor, digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters.

It should be noted that in recent years specialized microcircuits have appeared in the mobile communication system, designed to solve almost all the tasks facing them.

The technical result of the invention is the installation and operation of the temperature sensor in a mobile phone or peripheral devices, configured to pair with a mobile device.

The achievement of the technical result is possible due to the presence of two-way feedback between the devices using a wired or wireless mode of communication, the possibility of installing a program (or re - or programming) in the microprocessor of the telephone and compact electronic temperature sensors manufactured by the industry for coordinated operation in one device.

The advantage of the proposed method is the expansion of additional functions in the phone, and even for those mobile devices that initially do not have such an opportunity as an operational and independent temperature measurement.
