  • the invention relates to a mobile telecommunications unit with improved ease of use.
  • WO 97/09813 describes a communication device which has a large number of buttons and a large-format display. As a result, the size of the device increases compared to conventional mobile phones, which leads to a reduction in mobility. Furthermore, the susceptibility of the device to interference increases. The dirt, dust, moisture and pressure sensitivity of the large number of buttons and large-format LCD displays are well known. LCD displays are also very sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
  • WO 94/11980 also describes a mobile communication device which additionally permits input by means of a light pen and graphic panel.
  • Light pens and graphic tablets are also not always suitable as input devices for mobile phones because of their susceptibility to interference and sensitivity to dirt, pressure and temperature fluctuations.

  • the function is selected using the usual keyboard, so that operating the various functions makes handling the device more difficult.
  • Extended keyboards or enlarged displays are characterized in that the keyboard is arranged below the mostly one-line display.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a mobile telecommunications unit with improved ease of use, with which information can be sent without additional external input devices to be connected.
  • the dimensions and weight of the mobile telecommunication unit should not differ significantly from those of the mobile telephones currently on the market.
  • the mobile telecommunication unit can be operated in a simple and uncomplicated manner controlled by software.
  • This task is solved according to the invention in that in a mobile telecommunication unit with a telephone unit the keyboard is arranged above the display on the front of the device. With this new arrangement, the keyboard can be operated with the thumb while the device lies securely in the hand and the display is still easy to read.
  • the software of the menu can be designed so that it is operated via at least one additional input device.
  • Additional input devices are located on the back of the mobile telecommunication unit. These can be operated with the forefinger in a cramp-free hand position. According to the invention, a trackball, a wheel, a turntable, a roller, a coordinate slide, a 3D trackpad and / or a joystick is used as an additional input device.

Abstract

L'invention a pour objet de proposer une unité de télécommunication au confort d'utilisation amélioré qui permette d'envoyer des informations sans raccordement d'appareils d'introduction externes supplémentaires. Les dimensions et le poids de l'unité de télécommunication mobile ne doivent pas différer considérablement de ceux des téléphones mobiles actuellement sur le marché. L'invention a également pour objet de permettre une utilisation facile et simple de l'unité de télécommunication mobile par commande par menu. Pour ce faire, dans le cas d'une unité de télécommunication mobile dotée d'une unité téléphone, le clavier est placé au-dessus de l'écran sur la face avant de l'appareil. Grâce à cette nouvelle disposition, on peut utiliser le clavier avec le pouce tout en tenant l'appareil dans la main en toute sécurité et en pouvant continuer à lire l'écran. En outre, le logiciel du menu est conçu de telle façon qu'une utilisation s'effectue par au moins un appareil d'introduction supplémentaire. Ces appareils d'introduction supplémentaires, situés au dos de l'unité de télécommunication mobile, peuvent être utilisés avec l'index, la position de la main évitant toute crispation. On utilise comme appareil d'introduction supplémentaire une boule de commande, une molette, un disque rotatif, un rouleau, un curseur de coordonnées, un pavé tactile 3D et/ou une manette.
