[Prior Art] Radio k coverage has become almost universal in many parts of the world, especially in industrialized countries. Similarly, in many developing countries, the entire region lacking the traditional copper wire telecommunications infrastructure will simply skip the technology and deploy wireless technology. Modern wireless networks offer a range of voice and data services. The technical details of these services can be found in many places, for example, the 3GPP standards group website www.3gpp.org. However, some wireless data services are very slow and have a very high coverage rate of 201018206. Conversely, wireless voice services tend to have good quality' and are available in almost every place of travel. What we mean by "in-band" communication is the difference between a data channel, a data channel, a control channel, or other non-voice wireless services. The characteristics of the voice channel are characterized by special performance. For example, based on normal human speech, only a very narrow range of sound frequencies needs to be transceived. In fact, sophisticated compression and coding techniques are known to achieve very efficient transmission and reception of human speech on digital wireless networks. However, these speech coding devices (voiceco (four) or "vocoder" - which are usually implemented in software, DSP chips, and the like - do not properly emit non-speech sounds. Conversely, They will be carefully designed to filter out the audio signal. 'The relevant information can also be found in US Patent No. 6,144,336, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The telematics software includes a consumer application software J, which may be any application software, especially application software that uses data transfer. Accordingly, the client system will include a wireless transceiver, such as a wireless transceiver known to the portable cellular phone. Here, we mean "data" means application software or user data, not The radio "in the data used to transmit human speech content (phone data) or ^ used to control wireless operation (control channel data). User data transfer can be done on the wireless network. "In-band messaging" is used to transmit user data in a telematics vehicle system. What we mean by "in-band messaging" means that the i channel is different from the data channel, control channel, or other non-audio wireless service. Appropriate facilities (for example, in-band messaging must use an in-band modem at both ends of the call). A problem with the prior art is to detect when the modem is turned on and off. That is, when a call is connected (establishing a link), when should the receiving system switch from voice mode (usually using a microphone and speaker) to data mode (in this mode, it will operate from audio ( Voice) channel to restore data)? This is a question that controls the transmission. The prior art control communication in the wireless network uses a non-in-band control channel. This may be the item_item because the control channel signaling may be unique to the telecommunications carrier and thus not available to all customer systems. We need 201018206 to send a message to the vehicle system to control when the in-band modem is turned on and off, without the need to use a control channel to achieve this. In other words, the in-band modem on the vehicle side (remote information service client) needs a guilty way to detect the server side (for example, or a public service answering point, which is located in the call acceptance center or "data center". It can be used to receive data that is to be transmitted from the vehicle in the voice channel or to detect when the server side requests the data. This job should be done in an automated manner, ie f does not require human intervention. In an embodiment, after establishing a voice channel call, the server in the middle of the call will transmit a preset audio signal (for example, a tone of 2^25 Hz). The signal has been selected so that Across the current vocoder technology. For δ, the frequency of this signal is selected from the speech band, so that it can be encoded in the vocoder and successfully transmitted as a voice via the voice channel. At the vehicle or car side, the vehicle system receives signals from the voice channel during the voice call. It detects the signal selected by the special « and selects it as a control signal to initiate data transmission during the same voice channel call. In another embodiment, the server transmits a frequency-modulated audio signal from the call acceptance center to the IVS as a signaling tone for the purpose of backward compatibility with the old in-band modem. In an embodiment, the vehicle system (IVS) keeps the sound system speaker muted in response to receiving the preset signal, so that the passenger of the vehicle does not hear the sound frequency tone in the consumer application. The sound of the software and the data transmitted between the 201018206 call acceptance center. In a second embodiment, the 'g IVS may transmit a response signal in response to receiving and decoding a preset signal from the server. The "response" tone may have a first-selected frequency at the month, that is, 1778 Hz in the explanatory example. It also has a duration of _selection, for example, 300 msec in the explanatory example. This is the signal that the IVS is ready to begin an in-band data chat. If the feeding machine debt detects that the signal is maintained for at least a predetermined critical time period, in other words, about the fan. , then 〇 the server will stop transmitting the starting tone. In the IVS I paradigm, it will be set up to perform the above method. The vehicle system (IVS) includes the following requirements: telematics software, which will be stored in a memory and will be adapted. The method is configured to be executed on a processor to transmit and receive data through a voice channel in a digital communication network; the remote information service software includes a consumer application software and an in-band signaling data device. The data transmission opportunity encodes and decodes data transmitted from and to the consumer application software; a vehicle sound system, the sound system includes a speaker and a microphone; and a built-in telephone module, the telephone module is adapted The device is configured to perform at least voice channel communication through a digital communication network; a switch for: coupling the vehicle sound system to the built-in phone module for voice communication in a controllable manner, or An internal data machine is coupled to the built-in telephone module for data communication, all of which are performed during a single voice channel wireless call; The device is configured to interrupt a voice conversation by coupling the in-band signaling modem to the built-in telephone module, 'Ώ' to start the 201018206-in-band material conversation, and will be in-voice During the channel call, the speaker of the car sound system is muted in response to a predetermined signal tone received by the built-in phone module; and wherein the signal tone has a predetermined sound frequency. [Embodiment] A simplified block diagram of a typical call path for a wireless voice call (i.e., a telephone call in a wireless telecommunications network) is shown in FIG. (d) The analog voice signal of a Mike© wind will be digitized by an A/D converter and then fed to the -phone code algorithm (at 8000 samples/sec, the encoder will generate multiple compressed data packets ( Usually a packet will have a 2 ms audio frame) and will feed this stream to a radio transmitter. On the other side, a radio receiver will pass the packets to the decoding algorithm. The original voice signal (incompletely) is then reconstructed into a stream that is eventually inverted into a __ analog voltage, which is then applied to a speaker. The system can transmit "in-band" by carefully selecting the frequency, timing, and using special techniques to "smart" the vocoder into a way that allows the information to "see" human speech data. A moderate amount of data (here we refer to users who are careful | rather than vocoder calls). This type of data communication (which uses a wireless system's voice channel) is sometimes referred to as " In-band "" can be called an in-band signaling modem" (using the old data machine terminology (demodulator-demodulation transformer) well known in traditional "landline" telecommunications) and / Or the software method 201018206 is implemented. Several patents have been published to reveal the in-band signaling technology for exchanging digital data on a voice channel of a wireless telecommunication network. In the case, the input will receive digital data. The encoder converts the digital data into sound tones that synthesize the frequency characteristics of the human call. The digital data is also encoded to prevent the speech encoding circuitry in the telecommunications network from corrupting the synthesized representation of the digital data. Sound tones. Then, the rounded out sounds are output to a voice channel of a digital wireless telecommunications network. In some cases, the data carrying the "tone" will be synchronized with the voice. - is sent. These tones may be shorter and less noticeable 15 in their implementation, sometimes referred to as "blank and bui: st" The voice will be cut off by the voice. In other modes of execution, the - part of the voice is voiced, while the other parts are reserved for data use. This helps the receiving side to decode. It must be used at both ends of the call: (4).) The problem is _ when to start and close the second set of slaves to establish the keyway), when the receiving system should respond to the mode (in the second (:: transport: microphone and speaker) switch to the original data ρ Zhao Du, the operation is used Restore Beko from the sound (speech) channel? . Preferably, this should be done by human intervention. “无凡成” is also awkward, no need to bring in the control channel before the technical control of the use of the system is not a telecommunication operator: different systems, control channel signaling is unique to the carrier and thus not available to all customers System use. 201018206 One of the applications of this technology is to communicate with motor vehicles (as an explanation in this document). Today, many vehicles have the ability to communicate over a wireless network. We refer to these vehicle systems as telematics customer systems. Figure 2 is a simplified block diagram of an illustrative vehicle system (IVS). The figure shows an example of a relevant part of a typical telematics client system. This customer system consists of built-in hardware and software designed to operate in an automotive environment.

The purpose of the customer system (IVS) is to transmit telematics information between the vehicle and the health device on the same wireless voice call that the passenger uses to communicate with the operator. There are 0 main/be paying. Sometimes, the server is located at the "call acceptance center" where you can contact the operator, and it is the same as the 911 emergency call receiving center. Here, the system must have a switch that interrupts the car's early use of the sound system at the beginning of the in-band data machine conversation. If the switching decision is to be controlled by the server side, then the in-band signaling must be used to indicate when a modem conversation should begin. Referring again to Figure 2, in this embodiment, the switch is controlled by a "data machine detection" technique in the band 12 201018206. There are two ways to cause an error. False detection (the speaker remains muted when it should not be muted) and leakage detection (missed detection^ the speaker is not muted when it should be muted). The frequency of occurrence of both errors should be as low as possible, but it is a challenge to prevent them from happening. One of the important advantages of the present invention is improved detection performance. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the time progression of the first in-band modem detection technique. The given tone frequency shown in this figure is only an example. In Operation ©, the server (which is located in the call acceptance center or "data center", which may be automatic (unmanned)) will transmit a pre- The audio signal (for example, 2225 Hz) is set so that it has been selected to span the current karaoke technology. This is the signal to be sent to the vehicle system to interrupt the voice conversation and start a conversation with the internal data machine. After detecting the frequency tone for at least a predetermined threshold time period (in other words, about 30mSec) on the IVS side, it will be deemed that the "initial detection" has been completed, and the IVS will silence the speaker in the vehicle ( In this way, the passengers of the vehicle will not hear the "noise" of the information transmitted in the form of sound frequency tones. If the selected "telephone tone" is detected for longer than the preset threshold time period, it will be considered that "confirmation" has been performed and a "response" will be sent from the IVS to the server. Accordingly, the ivs system will switch the pCM switch of Figure 2 to couple the in-band data unit to the built-in telephone module to transmit data (in the voice channel) to the data center. The "response" tone has a second selected frequency, that is, 1778 Hz in the explanatory 13 201018206. The "response" tone also has - the selected duration 1 length, for example, 3 〇〇 msec in the explanatory example. This is the signal that the ivs is ready to start a conversation with the data machine in the τ. If the feeder picks up the signal to maintain at least a predetermined threshold time period (in other words, about 20 〇 msec), then the feeder will stop transmitting the initial tone. The aforementioned strategy can be used in many applications, but as the wireless technology changes, there will be further problems. One of the aspects that needs to be improved frequently is the vocoder described above. When a vocoder becomes more efficient than coding in human speech, it sometimes becomes more difficult to transmit data via the voice channels used by the vocoders. The in-band control signaling technology described above can be suitably used in the case of ''two-coders', but it cannot be properly used in other, newer styles. It may be possible to solve this problem by studying the characteristics of the new vocoder and then trying to design a control signaling technology that is compatible with the new vocoder, but even if it is successful, there are still many used vehicle operations. Old-fashioned data machine." An important communication system with an important communication system (which has an old-fashioned data machine) and a new type of IVS with a new audio code will operate correctly. At the same time, it is necessary to correctly interact with the two or more different in-band modems that are deployed in a variety of = or = portable applications, for example, handheld personal communication devices. The initial = coder works, but it will be removed in the new style. The best system, the m is just unable to keep the speaker silent during the time, the in-band data communication system will The problem of reverse compatibility and forward compatibility between the data feeder and various mobile units is not limited to control signaling. Actual data transmission via some vocoders may be required Use very different frequencies that are compatible with older vocoders. For example, 'with some old-fashioned vocoders, 2100Hz (downlink) and 2500Hz (uplink;) are useful frequencies for encoding data. For other vocoders, lower frequencies (such as 1200 Hz and 1600 Hz) may be better. Therefore, for the server system, it is "disappeared" or detected during a special call. Remote vocoder Types are very important, they can be used not only to control the transmission, but also to properly encode the data without being affected by the far-end vocoder. Furthermore, importantly, the server has to find the type of far-end vocoder in use very quickly, for example, less than two seconds, so that it can be sent before another distracting data tone is heard. - a suitable control signal to indicate the IVS to silence the speaker in the vehicle (generally, the foreign telephone number used to contact the call center cannot be distinguished by S from the remote data machine in use, because The same telephone number is preferred for all IVS systems of a given vehicle manufacturer. Refer to Figure 4. For purposes of illustration, we assume that a 2225 Hz tone is used as the control signal on an old vocoder channel, but the tone is not reliable on the new vocoder. According to another aspect of the present invention, the pirate transmits a frequency modulated (FM) tone that is vibrated between 5 〇〇 and 600 Hz. For example, every 2 or 4 jobs may switch frequencies; this indicates the magnitude of the strength of the system, and the actual value is not important. Frequency modulation prevents errors during standard voice conversations 15 201018206 A key point of detection. Reference is next made to Figure 5. If the server modem must be backward compatible with older IVS modems, it may alternate between the new start signal and the old start signal when listening to both types of response signals. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes in the details of the embodiments described above may be made without departing from the basic principles of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention should only be determined by the scope of the following claims. ® [Simple Diagram] A simplified block diagram of a typical call path for a wireless voice call (i.e., a telephone call in a & telecommunications network) is shown in FIG.
