[Prior Art] Such a case member is known in the prior art. For example, the disclosed document DE10018375A1 describes an upper part of a replaceable casing for a mobile phone, on which a functional element is arranged. The functional element is, for example, an input or output element or a sensor element. In addition, the mobile phone and the upper part of the housing contain additional components that allow the mobile phone to recognize which upper part of the housing is on the mobile phone. It is also possible to identify the installed functional components through this identification mechanism. The signal received by a sensor mounted on the upper part of the housing continues to be transmitted and processed there via the electrical contact area on the mobile phone. The disadvantage of the above arrangement is that the control and signal processing of the sensor applied in the upper part of the housing is performed in the mobile phone. As the upper part of the casing of the mobile phone can be replaced with functional elements and sensors of various forms as much as possible theoretically used with the mobile phone, the mobile phone must be designed from the beginning to control all Functional elements used with this mobile phone. On the one hand, it requires a far-sighted plan when constructing the mobile phone, and on the other hand, it impedes every flexibility when adding new functional elements to the upper part of the casing of the mobile phone. Since analog sensors (for example, optical-, capacitive-, or inductive sensor elements) can also be used as functional elements, a complete control circuit must be provided in the mobile phone to control these together with the mobile phone The form of use can be as different as 200415905. Because the operating voltage, calibration method and control method of these sensors are usually different from each other, the mobile phone requires a high equipment cost, which will make the mobile phone much more expensive and its development and manufacturing more complicated. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to make the shape and function of a portable electronic device easily adaptable to various needs. The object is achieved by a replaceable housing member having a sensor element required for a portable electronic device (especially a mobile phone), wherein the replaceable housing member includes a control device to control the sensor Tester element. By integrating the control device with the sensor element in the replaceable housing member, for example, the sensor-specific characteristics can be taken into account when controlling the sensor element or when evaluating the sensor signal This control element is therefore also considered in the replaceable housing component. This allows the sensor element to be easily operated with the portable electronic device. In addition, the control of the sensor element and the evaluation of the signals provided by the sensor element can also be performed in the control device, so that the resources required to operate the sensor in the electronic device can be compared with those of the prior art cut back. Portable electronic devices can be, for example, mobile phones, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), mini computers (paim Tops), fabricators, or other similar devices. As the sensor element, an analog sensor and / or a digital sensor whose forms are as different as possible may be used, which may be, for example, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a barometric sensor, an acceleration sensor, and a tilt. Sensor, magnetic field sensor, 200415905 optical sensor or gas sensor. In addition, optical- and / or acoustic-input- and / or output units may be mounted on or integrated into the replaceable housing member. Each output element can be used, for example, to cause the data measured by the sensor element to be output and also controlled by the control device. Each input element may be, for example, a microphone or a video camera. Through the combination of the replaceable housing member and a sensor element and its associated control device ', the portable electronic device can achieve a functional and externally differentiated characteristic. For example, in the case of a portable electronic device (eg, a mobile phone), an "outdoor" type housing component may be provided, which includes: a temperature sensor, a barometric sensor (which is used, for example, to forecast the climate or to serve as (Altitude measuring device), a magnetic field sensor (used as a compass) and its control device (s). Therefore, a control device which can be shared by all the sensors is provided. In addition, each sensor element is provided with a specific control device. The shell member can be set as "outdoor" type according to its usage and stomach condition. It can, for example, also have a landscape or a natural configuration (for example, wood, surface, green grass-like appearance). Also, the replaceable housing member may be designed, for example, as an environmental measurement, and the housing member may have an ozone sensor and an ultraviolet (υν) sensor, for example. This design of the replaceable housing member can therefore appropriately include a midsummer image. With the replaceable housing component, the portable electronic device can be used to measure the impact of the typical midsummer on the environment, in particular. Since the control device for the sensor element is integrated in the replaceable housing member, the new sensor element can be flexibly used with the existing portable electronic device ~ This is because of all the sensors Features can be covered by the control device 200415905. In this way, as far as the casing of the portable electronic device is concerned, specific customer needs can be satisfied, and such needs can be disregarded when designing the portable electronic device. In addition, the replaceable housing member of the present invention can also be used in inexpensive portable electronic devices, which can be personally functional or designed afterwards in various ways. In a preferred embodiment, the control device can be used to process the sensor raw data output by the sensor element into digital sensor data. This simplifies the communication between the control device and the digital portable electronic device ', so that the use of the sensor element and the portable electronic device can be simplified. The control device may further be used for outputting digital sensor signals to the portable electronic device and / or receiving control data for the sensor element by the portable electronic device. In an advantageous form of the invention, the portable electronic device has an interface for communicating with external electronic devices. The interface can be constituted by, for example, a standardized interface, a digital interface, a serial i2c-interface, and / or a serial RX / TX interface. The interface can be connected to, for example, a plug-in element of the portable electronic device, thereby forming a detachable connection with an external electronic device via an external connection cable. In addition, the interface can be connected to a connection unit of the portable electronic device to connect to a wireless local area network (for example, a Bluetooth module or a WLAN-module). The advantage of this interface is that it is a commonly known and commonly used interface that simplifies or communicates the portable electronic device with another device or other devices. The beta interface itself is an interface to a wireless local area network (such as a Bluetooth module 200415905 or WLAN). In this case, the portable electronic device and the control device can communicate via a wireless network. At this time, the replaceable housing member may also have a corresponding interface to a wireless network (for example, a Bluetooth module or a W L A N -module).

Therefore, in the portable electronic device (for example, a mobile phone), for example, an RX / TX-interface (which is due to component-cost reasons and Keep outage costs to a minimum). The associated interface lead can be connected to the associated plug and can still (for example, by a connection element) extend to the control device in the replaceable housing member. The advantage of using any of the above interfaces (for example, RX / TX-interface) is that the communication structure provided in the portable electronic device can be used. Therefore, the portable electronic device (for example, a mobile phone) may be provided with, for example, an interface to a stored application in a memory element of the device. A Java-application for use in a sensor and stored in a memory element of the portable electronic device can be stored via the interface (eg, RX / TX-interface) -10- 200415905 to take the sensor The information is evaluated and / or displayed on an existing display device in the electronic device when the situation requires it. At this time, the structure of the portable electronic device does not need to be adjusted according to the sensor. So you can use as many different applications as possible. Since ava is an open platform, many different providers as much as possible can also provide various applications and services required by a specific device platform. Various interchangeable housing components and various combinations with the sensor elements can be achieved in the manner described above. Another advantageous form of the replaceable housing member is formed when the power supply of the control device and / or the sensor element is achieved by the portable electronic device. In addition, the control device and / or the sensor element does not need to be provided with a separate power supply (for example, a battery or a storage battery) in the replaceable housing component, otherwise an externally located Power supply side. When the control device is designed to control a power supply for the sensor element, the replaceable housing member or the corresponding portable electronic device can be simplified. In this case, the separate controller of the replaceable housing member and / or the power supply for the sensor element in the portable electronic device is not required. In another form of the present invention, the replaceable housing member may include a connection element for transmitting sensor data from the control element to the portable electronic device or for transmitting control data from the portable electronic device to The control device. The connecting element can, for example, be formed by a plug-in element or include at least one plug-in element, and it can also be formed by a cable element or include a cable element 200415905, especially a flat ribbon cable. In order to be able to use a portable electronic device and various different replaceable housing components as flexibly as possible, a detachable connection member or between the connecting element and the replaceable housing component can also be made. A detachable connection is made between the connection element and the portable electronic device. With such a detachable connecting member (for example, formed by a plug-in element or a clip-on element), the replaceable housing member can be easily mechanically separated by the portable electronic device. Another advantageous form can be formed when the connection between the connection element and the replaceable housing member or the connection between the connection element and the portable electronic device is a detachable connection '. This makes it easier to manufacture the replaceable housing member of the portable electronic device 'and the connecting element, because a step is not required to install the plug on the housing member and / or the electronic device, for example. In addition, this form makes the manufacture of the portable electronic device particularly cheap in price, because the connection element need not be considered and the connection element can be individually made when manufacturing the electronic device and the replaceable housing member. Ground (for example, cheap grounding). Also, the above-mentioned form can easily combine the replaceable housing member and the portable electronic device, because the connecting element can be mounted on the portable electronic device before the combination, and then can be changed Easily install the replaceable housing member. -A connection member which can be replaced by the replaceable housing element-and a connection element which can also be detached by the portable electronic device, for example, one or two contact sides may have a _ ϊ 妾 element or have a suitable for pressing contact Conductive area. -12- 200415905 and 'when the power supply of the control element and / or the sensor element can be achieved by the connection element, then the other between the portable electronic device and the replaceable housing member Electrical connections are not needed. When the portable electronic device includes a memory element to store a computer program (especially a Java program for controlling the control device), various replaceable housing components and a method of using the portable electronic device It can be more simplified and / or more flexible. Since at least a single function of the portable electronic device can be referred to the sensor element in the replaceable housing component and later performed by a software stored in the memory element, the portable electronic device The hardware cost required to operate the sensor element in the electronic device can be further reduced. Therefore, such a device can be designed and constructed at a lower cost. For example, after designing the portable electronic device, it is also possible to design a new replaceable housing member with a new sensor element and thereby use the designed portable electronic device. This is possible because, on the one hand, the control and signal evaluation of the sensor element can be performed by a control device installed in the replaceable housing member and between the portable electronic device and the control device The communication can be performed through software stored in a memory element of the portable electronic device later. The corresponding computer program or software can be stored in the memory element, for example, when the portable electronic device is manufactured. In addition, the computer program or software can also be transferred to the memory element through a connected device connected to the device interface. Such an associated connection device may be, for example, a plug-in element or a wireless connection element (for example, a Bluetooth module or a WLAN-module). In this way, a computer program can be transmitted to the portable electronic device afterwards to control 200415905 to make a sensor element integrated in the replaceable housing member. The portable electronic device may include a mobile radio-telecom module or a mobile radio terminal. In this case, the computer program can be transmitted to the memory element via the mobile radio network to which it belongs. For example, the Java language may be used as a programming language for stored computer programs, which is generally used as a software platform for the portable electronic device. Therefore, the electronic device may include, for example, a java application for a sensor element, which can access the sensor-data and perform I-level evaluation through the control device. Information may be processed further. The sensor-data transfer, synchronization, etc. can be performed on another electronic device (e.g., computer, mobile radio) via HTML and a server that can access the HTML. For example, a customer of the portable electronic device may store and / or archive its data, process and / or exchange with other users via the Internet or a mobile radio network. This structure allows a variety of applications' and since JaVa is a public platform, it can also provide a second user, application and / or service to the platform. Thus, various replaceable housing members can be made, which can have various combinations with each sensor element. Furthermore, the above-mentioned object of the present invention is achieved by a portable electronic device (especially a mobile phone), which includes: a replaceable housing member having a sensor element; and a control device for controlling the sensing器 eleon. Such an electronic device can have different characteristics externally or functionally at a relatively low price and relatively simply, because the portable electronic device has almost no need to consider the feeling of being used later when it is manufactured and designed The external components can also be changed by changing the measuring element and the function of -14-200415905.

The mobile phone 10 includes a circuit board 20 (PC B) having the main electronic components for operation of the mobile phone 10. In addition, the mobile phone 10 includes a battery 30 for powering the mobile phone 10. The battery 30 supplies electric energy to the circuit board 20 via the voltage guide 32. Figure 1 shows another part of the mobile phone 10 rear of the casing 40, which has two protrusions 42, 44 to accommodate the sensor module 50. In addition to the specific sensor element 52, the sensor module 50 has an electronic component (e.g., a control device). The sensor module 50 is connected to the circuit board 20 of the mobile phone 10 via a connection element 60. Via the connecting element 60, for example, an electrical control signal can be transmitted from the circuit board 20 to the sensor module 50 or the sensor data can be transmitted from the module 50 to the circuit board 20. Fig. 2 shows a possible first implementation form of the sensor module 100 of the present invention. The sensor module 100 includes an analog sensor 110 and a digital sensor 140. These sensors are controlled via a control unit or control device 120. In addition, FIG. 2 shows a mobile phone-basic device 1 80 having an operating voltage output terminal 184 and a ground output terminal 1 86 to provide a voltage to the sensor module 100. In addition, the mobile phone-basic device further includes: a receiving line 1 8 8 to receive information of the sensor-15-200415905 module; and a sending line 1 90 on which the sensor module can be prepared Information. The receiving line "RX" 188 and the transmitting line "TX" 190 are connected to the plug of the mobile phone 10 and controlled by the general communication interface of the mobile phone 10. In addition, the operating voltage output terminal 184 and the ground output terminal 186 can also be connected to the corresponding plug. Via the corresponding plug or a corresponding Bluetooth-module, the mobile phone 10 can communicate with other electronic devices (for example, a 'charging device, a headset, a motor vehicle embedded accessory). The voltage supply of the sensor module 100 is achieved via the operating voltage contact area 184 and the ground contact area 186 of the basic device 180. The operating voltage is supplied to the analog sensor 110 via a voltage adjusting device 150 (which is adjusted by the control unit 120). In this way, the analog sensor 110 can be driven or de-driven via the control unit 120. The analog sensor signal measured by the analog sensor 110 is processed in a signal processing unit 130 to achieve analog / digital conversion in the analog / digital converter 122 of the control unit 120. After being digitized in the analog / digital converter 1 2 2, a digital compensation is performed on a sensor signal that has been digitized in a compensation unit 1 2 3 and then the measurement signal is made in the calibration unit 124 normalization. The control and voltage supply of the digital sensor 140 is achieved through the digital interface 128 of the control unit 120. The communication between the control unit 120 of the sensor module 100 and the mobile phone-basic device 180 is achieved through the serial interface 126 of the control unit 120. With the serial interface 1 2 6, for example, the measurement measured by the analog sensor 1 10 or the digital sensor 1 4 0 can be transmitted to the receiving input of the mobile phone-basic device. Duan-16-200415905 1 8 8. In addition, various control commands (which are triggered by, for example, an AVA program stored in the mobile phone-basic device) can be transmitted to the control unit 120 in series via the sending end 190 of the mobile phone-base device 180 The analog interface 1 2 6 and thus triggers individual measurements or a series of measurements of the analog sensor 1 10 and / or the digital sensor 1 40. The control of the measurement process is automatically taken over by the control unit 120. The control unit 12 transmits the measurement results to the mobile phone-basic device 1 8 0 after the end of the measurement or, for example, between two measurements. The receiving input terminal 1 8 8. In the portable electronic device used in the sensor module, the receiving wire and the transmitting wire (for example, the “RX” 188 and “TX” 190 wires in FIG. 1) may generally be various interface wires. The portable electronic device is controlled by the general communication interface and it can also be extended to the external device plug of the portable electronic device or to the Bluetooth module or to the WLAN module. Via these wires and the device plug or Bluetooth Module or WLAN module, the portable electronic device can, for example, communicate with other external electronic devices (such as a charging device, a headset, a motor vehicle's embedded accessory, or a computer). Another implementation form of the module 200. Each reference symbol in FIG. 3 corresponds to the one in FIG. 2, but each symbol is increased by 100. For example, the sensor module 200 in FIG. 3 corresponds to the first The sensor module 1 2 of FIG. 2 and the analog sensor 2 1 of FIG. 3 correspond to the analog sensor 1 1 of FIG. 2. The sensor module 1 of FIG. 2 〇〇 The control unit or control device 1 2 0 relative to the analog sensing For 1 1 0, only take over specific signal processing and control the analog sensor 1 1 0 for voltage regulator 1 5 0. In the embodiment of Fig. 3, these functions are integrated into the only control-AS IC 2 2 0. The control-17- 200415905-ASIC 220 currently also has an air-conditioning unit 23 0 for measured sensor signals and a power supply adjustment unit for voltage supply of the analog sensor 210 250 ° The above construction method of the invention can make the structure of the sensor module cheaper, because only three components are needed in the situation shown in FIG. 3, namely, the analog sensor 210 and the digital sensor 240. And the control-ASIC 220. Especially when the number of components is large (at this time, the design of the user-oriented circuit (ASIC) is particularly economical) the above solution has great advantages. The sensor module 200 shown in Figure 3 The function corresponds to the sensor module 100 shown in Fig. 2. The present invention describes a replaceable housing member having a sensor element for a portable electronic device, wherein the replaceable The housing also has a control device to control the sensor element. Such a replaceable housing member allows the electronic device to achieve a simple and individualized shape and function. Therefore, the control device for the sensor element must be integrated into the replaceable housing member. This can simplify the structure of the electronic device, because the corresponding function does not have to be provided in the portable electronic device. This allows the use of a cheaper portable electronic device, which can be variously different. The method has its own characteristics in terms of function or design afterwards.
