Definitions
- FIG. 1 shows an example of the circuit arrangement for the technical implementation of the invention.
- Telephone calls are particularly disruptive when the telephone user is talking to someone else.
- the call flow is interrupted by an uncomfortable call; the other party usually has to wait for the duration of the phone call without being involved.
- a call can be quite annoying.
- cell phone owners in particular often did not want to switch off their phones in order to be reachable in urgent or other specific cases. ⁇
- the subject matter of this invention is a sensible compromise.
- the called party does not himself reject an undesired call, rather the caller decides whether there should be a call signing and subsequently a voice connection.
- a further advantage of the invention is therefore that the called party is not uneasy about the caller.
- the invention is based on the fact that a call is not signaled by the dialed telephone immediately after the call arrives or after the number of the desired telephone has been dialed. Only after a certain waiting time (delay) is there a call signaling (through sounds, other acoustic or optical signals, through vibrations etc.).
- REPLACEMENT DEVICE (RULE 26) 1 Waiting time is used in such a way that the caller receives information during this time. Accordingly, he is informed that the called party only wants a call in certain cases and that the called party may otherwise be undisturbed.
- the necessary duration of the waiting time therefore ranges from several to a few seconds in order to provide the caller with the information and to allow him a certain time to decide.
- the called party If the caller does not hang up until the end of the waiting time, the called party's telephone signals the incoming call after the end of this waiting time.
- the end of the waiting time can the caller z. B. be notified by a beep.
- picks up When the called party answers the call ("picks up"), a voice connection is established between the phones in the usual way.
- a programmable central control unit (ZSt) (state of the art) of the telephone 6 is equipped, inter alia, with a time recording element (ZE) and a voice - recording, voice memory - and voice - Playback instrument (SAn, SSp and SWg) coupled and programmed so that when a call arrives, a signal (Sig) is not immediately triggered, but that the voice information instrument (SWg) sends the corresponding information via Tele-O fonverbmdung (AL) is forwarded to the caller. Only after the waiting time has elapsed is there a call signing (Sig)
- SPARE BLADE (RULE 26) 1 if the caller presses another specific key on his phone. Another number key is conceivable here, as is a function key (#, *, etc ). It makes less sense, because it is unnecessarily complex, if an entire key combination had to be pressed.
- the caller is informed during the time after dialing the number of the desired subscriber until the further key (nkombmat ⁇ on) is pressed, with the aid of which further key (nkomb ⁇ nat ⁇ on) a call signaling is triggered for called parties. At the same time, he is informed
- the phone of the called party signals the incoming call.
- picks up a voice connection is established between the phones in the usual way.
- the technical implementation largely corresponds to the first variant, only corresponding programming of the central control unit (ZSt) is necessary so that it only initiates call signing when the caller presses the additional key instead of having to do this independently after the waiting time described.
- Time recording (ZE) is not absolutely necessary for this function, for example, however, if the decision time for the caller is limited
- Telephone of the called party is integrated, saved and, if necessary, passed on to the caller by telephone. It was sensible for the telephone user to have several texts to choose from, preferably in such a way that he could save these texts himself by speaking on a voice recording and storage element (SAn and SSp), comparable to an answering machine or a mailbox ,
- SAn and SSp voice recording and storage element
- the "Caller Check” function should be able to be activated and deactivated by the telephone user (called party) as required, so that when deactivated, the telephone signals an incoming call like a conventional telephone.
- the caller check function can be integrated in the terminal of the called subscriber (TN), whereby the function of the answering machine (AB) can also be included or can be implemented on the part of the telephone network operator (TNB), also here an answering machine or mailbox function can be provided
- FIG. 1 shows the schematic structure of a possible circuit arrangement for the caller check function (ACF).
- the subscriber is connected (TA) directly to the outside line (AL) and an incoming call is signaled immediately in the usual way.
- an incoming call on the trunk line (AL) of the telephone network operator (TNB) is connected to the voice playback element (SWg) of the voice memory (SSp) by means of the central control (ZSt).
- the voice message transmitted can differ depending on the caller.
- the voice messages can be freely programmed by the called subscriber (TN) using the voice recording element (SAn).
- SAn voice recording element
- a text memory (TSp) is available in the phone, by means of which text messages that have already been permanently entered by the telephone manufacturer, standardized or programmable by the called party, can be transmitted to the caller in writing, for example using the display of his telephone.
- the call on the subscriber line (TA) is displayed by means of signaling unit (Sig).
- the possibility of forwarding to the answering machine (AB) of the subscriber (called party) also appears to be very useful if the caller presses a specific key (combination) that differs from the above.
- the caller group identification (AGE) and the answering machine (AB) are integrated in the circuit arrangement shown in FIG. 1; in the case of simpler variants of this invention, in which there is no coupling with the caller group recognition or with an answering machine, the respective element is omitted.
- the voice recording element (SAn) can be dispensed with if the telephone owner is not given the opportunity to save the information to a caller independently as spoken text, but only if one or more standardized texts are available that are available from the Telephone manufacturers can already be entered in the voice memory element (SSp).
- the text memory (TSp) is also only necessary if the mog 1 possibility of passing on written information, e.g. B. on the display of the caller's phone.
- ACF caller check function
- the transfer of an incoming call then takes place, for example controlled by a central control (ZSt) of the telephone network operator, only after the waiting time (with the aid of a tent detection element (ZE)), or in the second variant of the invention after the further l has been actuated Key (nkombmat ⁇ on) by the caller.
- ZSt central control
- ZE tent detection element
- nkombmat ⁇ on the further l has been actuated Key
- FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a mobile telephone according to the invention c
- the mobile phone has an antenna AN and an RF receiver RX and an RF transmitter (TX) for communication via the air interface 1 with a cellular communication system (e.g. GSM; Global System for Mobile communications (GSM; Global System for Mobile communications (GSM; Global System for Mobile communications (GSM; Global System for Mobile communications (GSM; Global System for Mobile communications (GSM; Global System for Mobile communications (GSM; Global System for Mobile communications (GSM; Global System for Mobile communications
- GSM Global System for Mobile communications
- a digital signal processor b is connected to the HF receiver RX or HF transmitter TX, which processes the received voice or data information so that they can be processed by the central control unit ZSt.
- the digital signal processor DSP ensures, for example, that the data is processed in accordance with the time slot structure of the GSM system before it is sent from the transmitter part TX to HF Signals are converted. Furthermore, the digital signal processor DSP takes over the control of the transmitter TX and receiver RX.
- the central control unit ZSt is connected to a display device AN, for example an LCD display. Furthermore, the central control unit ZSt receives signals from a keyboard TA with which inputs can be made by the user.
- a microphone M and a loudspeaker L 1 are arranged on the central control unit ZSt for voice input and output.
- a second loudspeaker L2 serves to signal an incoming call.
- the loudspeaker L2 can also be identical to the loudspeaker L l.
- the central control unit 5 contains a time recording element ZE to implement the caller check function.
- the time recording unit ZE can be fed, for example, by an internal signal clocking (not shown), which also ensures the clocking of the central control unit.
- a voice recording, voice memory and voice playback 0 instruments (SAn, SSp and SWg) are provided, with which voice messages can be recorded, stored and played back in accordance with the invention.
- voice messages can be recorded, stored and played back in accordance with the invention.
- text memory texts can be saved and used accordingly.
- the central control unit ZSt also has a caller group recognition with which, for example, the priority of a caller can first be checked
- ACF Caller check function
