A second surface (111) has a keypad (101) for entering data such as telephone numbers, a display (106) for displaying the entered data in addition to various other control buttons (108) to operate the radiotelelphone. The apparatus is mounted in a recess of a vehicle instrument panel with the front surface exposed at all times, thus providing limited operation of the radiotelephone. The apparatus can be released from the recess, thereby exposing the surface having the more detailed radiotelephone controls.

Description

CONTROL APPARATUS FOR A MOBILE RADIOTELEPHONE
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of communications and particularly to cellular radiotelephones.
Background of the Invention
Mobile radiotelephones are typically mounted in the configuration of the control head located in the vehicle pas¬ senger compartment and the transceiver mounted remotely in the vehicle trunk. This presents the problem of where to mount the control head for the convenience of the user and to require the least amount of space. Typical mounting locations are on a center console or on a stalk on the floor between the driver and front seat passenger. Both these configurations can be inconvenient for using the radiotelephone and require space that can be used for other purposes. There is a result¬ ing need for a radiotelephone controlling apparatus that re¬ quires minimal space and is convenient to use.
Summary of the Invention
The control apparatus of the present invention is com¬ prised of a plurality of status indicators, a keypad for entering data such as telephone numbers, a display for displaying the entered data, a microphone for hands-free operation, as well as various other control buttons to operate the radiotelephone. The apparatus is mounted in a recess of a vehicle instrument panel. Certain of the features of the apparatus are in view at all times while others may be hidden while the apparatus is contained in the recess. Brief Description of the Drawings

FIG. 7 shows yet another alternate embodiment of the control apparatus of the present invention.
Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment
The control apparatus of the present invention can be stowed in a recess of a vehicle's instrument panel. When a call is to be made, certain radiotelephone control functions can be accomplished while in the recess or the apparatus can be repositioned to use the keypad and other expanded func¬ tions.
The control apparatus of the present invention, illus¬ trated in FIG. 1, is comprised of a rectangular enclosure in the preferred embodiment. One surface (110) of the enclosure has a limited number of buttons and status indicators for quick operation of a radiotelephone. The buttons, in the pre¬ ferred embodiment, include the off-hook button (103) and one or more quick dial buttons (105) for dialing, for example, emergency numbers. A quick dial button (105), in an alter- nate embodiment, can be used to redial the last number di¬ aled. The status indicators (104), in the preferred embodi¬ ment, include: NO SERVICE, RO.AM, and a power indicator. The indicators can be light emitting diodes (LEDs) or other lights that are illuminated when those statuses are true. Additionally, this surface (110) has a microphone (102) for hands-free operation of the radiotelephone. By using this mi¬ crophone (102) and an external speaker, for the received por¬ tion of a call, the radiotelephone user can conduct a call with- out holding a handset.
A second surface (111) of the enclosure contains a larger number of controls for more detailed operation of the radiotelephone. These controls, in the preferred embodiment, include a telephone keypad (101) for manually dialing a tele- phone number, memory access keys (108) for storing and re¬ calling telephone numbers in the radiotelephone's memory, and a display (106) for displaying the dialed telephone num¬ ber. This display (106) can be a light emitting diode display (LED), a liquid crystal display (LCD), or a vacuum florescent display (VFD).
The display (106) can also be used for displaying other information including names or labels associated with each memory location. The labels allow a user to associate a tele¬ phone number in memory with a name or subject. The dis- play (106) can additionally indicate the same status functions that are on the front surface (110). This is accomplished by have the words RO_ M, NO SERVICE, etc. in the display and only activated when those conditions are true.
The control apparatus of the present invention, in the preferred embodiment, is electrically coupled to a remotely mounted radiotelephone transceiver. This transceiver is typi¬ cally mounted in the trunk of the vehicle.
The control apparatus is mounted on telescoping, lock¬ ing slide brackets (107) in a recess in the instrument panel of the vehicle. The brackets (107) are spring loaded for moving the control apparatus into operating position from the recess. This mounting configuration is illustrated in FIG. 1.
While the control apparatus is stowed in the recess, as illustrated in FIG. 3, only the front surface is exposed. This allows the user to conduct limited radiotelephone operations such as answering a call by pushing the off-hook switch and using the hands-free microphone. In the recessed position, the user can also push a quick dial button to dial a preselected number and again use the microphone to communicate.
When expanded operation of the radiotelephone is re¬ quired, the front of the apparatus can be pressed lightly. This releases the control apparatus and allows the spring loaded mounting system to reposition the control apparatus from the recess, thereby exposing the second surface containing the keypad, display, and other more detailed controls.
The control layout of the control apparatus may be as in the preferred embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1. FIG. 2 illus¬ trates an alternate embodiment for the control layout having the display (201) to the side of the keypad (202) instead of above.
This embodiment can be used for instrument panels that are not deep enough for the design of the preferred embodiment.
The cellular radiotelephone, as illustrated in FIG. 4, may be any conventional cellular telephone transceiver hav- ing a radio transmitter (401), radio receiver (402) and logic unit (403), such as the transceiver shown and described in Motorola instruction manual number 68P81066E40, entitled "DYNA TAC Cellular Mobile Telephone 800MHZ Transceiver". The hands-free microphone (102) is coupled to the transmitter portion (401) of the transceiver to provide the transmitted audio. The keypad (101) of the present invention enters data that is read by the microprocessor (403). This mi¬ croprocessor (403) can also control the data displayed on the control apparatus' display (106) and lighting of the indicators (104) to indicate the transceiver's status.
Other alternate embodiments of the present invention can have the indicators and control buttons located on differ- ent surfaces of the control apparatus. Additionally, instead of a spring loaded mounting bracket to move the apparatus into position, the apparatus can be pulled into position manually or can be released from the recess by pressing a release but¬ ton. Yet another alternate embodiment of the present inven- tion can have a radiotelephone transceiver built into the con¬ trol apparatus instead of mounted remotely. While a display is used in the preferred embodiment, an alternate embodi¬ ment would not have a display. Different shapes from the pre¬ ferred embodiment's rectangular shape could also be used without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Alternate embodiments do not require a recess in the instrument panel.
FIGs. 5, 6, and 7 show alternate embodiments for stow¬ ing the control apparatus of the present invention in an in- strument panel. If the control apparatus is mounted to the instrument panel with a pivoting mount, the apparatus can be swung into the full operation position.
In summary, a radiotelephone control apparatus has been shown that is mounted in the instrument panel of a vehi- cle. The apparatus has a limited number of control functions available in the stowed configuration but can be repositioned within the instrument panel for more detailed control of the radiotelephone. The control apparatus of the present inven¬ tion, therefore, reduces the space required for radiotelephone operation.
