Description

An Accessory for a Mobile Telephone
This invention relates to an accessory for a mobile telephone.
Mobile telephones are highly prevalent and are increasingly used as a main form of communication as costs of telephones and call time decreases. Often mobile telephones are used in a so-called "hands free" mode, for example when working or when driving a vehicle. As the number of units increases, there is a corresponding increase in the risk of interference or cross-talk between two or more telephones.
The present invention arose to reduce these and other problems.
According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided an accessory for a mobile telephone including: means for connecting the accessory to the telephone so that data can be received from and transmitted to the telephone; and means for transmitting data to and receiving data from a remote transponder earpiece; characterised in that the data which is transmitted to and received from the transponder earpiece is digital data.
Most preferably an encryptor/decryptor provides a coded version of transmitted and received data signals from and to the telephone, via the transceiver to the transponder earpeice. The encryptor/decryptor enables a digital signal to be sent and received, thereby removing the risk of interference and greatly increasing security.
Preferably the means for transmitting data to and receiving data from (hereinafter referred to as a transceiver) a remote transponder earpiece is adapted to be connected to the telephone.
A switch is preferably provided on the transponder earpiece which is easily accessible and manually operable. The activation of the switch has the effect of lifting or replacing a handset; that is switching the telephone on or off. The transponder preferably includes a microphone. Preferably the transponder also includes a rechargeable battery and is adapted to be recharged from an energy source via the telephone. This energy source may be the battery of the telephone or it may be a current source (which charges the battery), which has been suitably modified.
Means for transmitting a security code can be included in the telephone, so that, upon charging or re-charging of the transponder, an enabling or other code signal can be written to a memory in the transponder. Failure of the transponder to receive this code results in it being disabled. This prevents a transponder from being used with an 'unauthorised' telephone.
Embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the figures in which:
Figures la to c show general views of a transponder, depicting diagrammatically, microphone and earpiece;
Figure 2 is an overall view of a mobile telephone, showing diagrammatically, a means for transmitting/receiving data;
Figure 3 shows the transponder inserted into the arrangement of Figure 2 for charging/recharging;
Figures 4 and 5 show schematic circuit diagrams of two versions of the transponder, which may be incorporated into the earpiece transponder; and
Figure 6 shows a circuit diagram of an alternative version of the transponder operating in 'TDMA' mode.
Referring generally to the Figures, accessory 10 comprises two main sections, a user worn earpiece/microphone unit (the earpiece transponder) 12 and the cellphone unit 14 (transceiver) which in use is connected to a telephone. Figures lb and lc show earpiece unit 13 and microphone unit 15 as separate. Antenna 17 is also depicted. Telephone quality voice is transmitted between the transceiver 14 and transponder 12. Alternatively data (approx 33Kbits/sec) can be transferred instead of voice data. A 'sequence generator' is included to send preset data sequences if a button on the earpiece is pressed. This can be used to receive incoming calls ('lift handset' function) and similar purposes.
Relatively low RF frequencies are used, typically around 27MHz or 48MHz. This assists in reducing costs and minimises current consumption. In order to ensure that there is no interference or accidental interception of messages by people nearby, transmissions are digital and each user has a code number for a unique encryption code.
To minimise current consumption and complexity, delta modulation is preferred for the digitisation of voice signals. Associated with digital modulation are other circuit blocks, two key circuit blocks are clock recovery in receive mode and splatter filtering prior to modulation, which is necessary to restrict transmitted bandwidth.
Transmitted power levels are relatively low, typically around O.lmW, since the range of the transponder only needs to be about 2m. As uncompressed digital signals are used, the bandwidth is relatively wide, at least 32KHz is needed each way. For duplex operation, at least 64KHz is required.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 4, there is depicted an analog-to-digital (AD) modulator 52 converts voice data into digital signals. Digital signals are then sent to radio frequency (RF) transmitter 54. The receive section is shown diagrammatically at 56. Received data is demodulated by demodulator 58. Demodulated data is then amplified, to a desired level by audio amplifier 60.
The embodiment shown in Figure 5 has many sections in common with the embodiment in Figure 4 and differs principally in that no conversion takes place as detection occurs at 49MHz and the signals are filtered and used directly. The fact that there is no down converter reduces the number of components. To operate in duplex mode one approach is to use different transmit and receive frequencies, but this needs better filtering or different frequency bands. One approach is to use single channel (Frequency Division Multiplex Addressing) FDMA. However, separate channels are used for transmit and receive modes, although clearly some guide band "space" is required between each frequency. When using FDMA less timing control circuitry is required. The levels ensure that interference between users is minimal, unless they are at extremely close range. Because of encryption, the only perceived effects are signal loss. In this scenario about lOOKHz of 'quiet' spectrum with the regulatory authorities needs to be identified.
Although reference has been made to FDMA, the invention may also be applied to Time Division Multiplex Addressing (TDMA). TDMA permits several users to operate on the same frequency and rely on the fact that transmission powers are low and receiver capture is of the order of about lOdB.
In order to minimise the size of the transponder, as many functions as possible are integrated into an RF ASIC. This means that various other tasks such as battery save, regulator and charger control are preferably also incorporated into the ASIC.
The invention has been described by way of examples only. Other potential uses are referred to briefly below.
Motorcycle to pillion or rally driver communication system.
With an earpiece unit in each helmet, a very small communication system can be made. A helmet stand may be made to incorporate an inductive loop charger, so no wires or plugs are needed. Transfer or identity code could be via an inductive loop charger. The bike or car could form a third source of voice for satnav commands, and/or intelligent roadside information such as status of fuel gauge. Use as a tag
With its small size, digital capabilities and range of up to about 3m, this device could be used as a two-way TAG. If a credit (smart) card reader is added to the user unit, it could carry out automatic payments in supermarkets, petrol stations, tollbooths, etc.
Conveying data
If a memory is attached to the user unit, and since the user unit has a unique code, it is possible for the user to carry data from one place to another. This could be used to transfer files from one computer to another without floppy disks. Or in locations such as building sites, data could be transferred from one site office to another without a wearer taking any action other than walking in the right direction. In an airport, if passengers were 'tagged' it could eliminate boarding passes and airlines would know passenger location.
Translation
Since it is possible for the earpiece to define a users language to a host system, the earpiece could be used to give correct language commentaries in museums, exhibitions and conference halls.
Patient and baby monitoring
Units are small and can transfer data over short ranges, so a wireless monitoring system could use suitably modified devices.
Figure 6 shows an example of a system using a TDMA configuration.
The communication between the transponder and the telephone is duplex mode so the user can speak without interrupting the received audio. To minimise the filtering requirements, an embodiment of the invention may use (Time Division Multiplex Access) TDMA and can operate in a single frequency radio channel. An encrypted audio is sent in packets and the transponder alternately receives and transmits these data packets. The bandwidth of this channel will be more than twice that needed for a single simplex channel.
If transmit power is kept to the minimum needed to maintain communication, then it is possible for most users to be accommodated on a single radio channel. Encryption prevents audible interference from other users.
Other variations to the embodiments described may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
