Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a portable object allowing simplified access to an Internet network from public access points such as a vehicle.
- the most common way to make a connection to the Internet is to use a personal computer coupled by a modem either to the switched telephone network or to a device for transmitting / receiving radio waves such as a radio mobile phone or fixed.
- Access to the Internet is carried out by scrolling menus on the screen of the personal computer.
- the operator is invited to either fill in the address fields of the sites on which he wants to connect, or the address of his own site if he wants, for example, to check his mailbox and check that '' it does not contain new messages concerning it or send messages by electronic mail, either by clicking on zones allowing it to pass to the following menu or command zones to give for example the order of connection on a selected site.
- the subject of the invention is a method allowing simplified access to an Internet network from a public place such as a vehicle, characterized in that it consists:
- the subject of the invention is also a portable object for implementing the method according to the invention.
- Figure 1 a perspective view of a portable object according to the invention coupled by an infrared link to a multimedia station for connection to the Internet.
- Figure 2 a method of fixing the multimedia station of Figure 1 on the back of a vehicle seat.
- FIG. 3 the different steps of the Internet connection method according to the invention.
- the 4a, 4b and 4c different organizational patterns of information exchanged between 'the portable object and the multimedia station.
- FIG. 5 an embodiment of an electronic circuit for implementing the method according to the invention.
- the portable object represented in FIG. 1 consists of a micro box 1 of the car opening remote control type. It has on its upper face a screen 2 for the display of e-mail addresses or of websites pre-programmed in the electronics of the box, a button 3 for the control of the display of addresses or sites, and a push button 4 for the transfer via a contactless link 5 with an infrared wave or an ultra-short wave electric radio to a public multimedia station 6 for connection parameters to the Internet network.
- the box 1 allows the operator to "zap" to the multimedia station by transmitting all the data useful for making the connection (s) directly to his "email" for electronic mail or a website or even to specialized services. These data are written in a memory of the electronics of the box.
- Screen 2 can display a series of numbers from 1 to 10, for example by successively pressing the key 3, each of them corresponding to an "email" address or a preprogrammed website in a memory of the unit. Screen 2 can also display alphanumeric characters, representative of the sites or pre-programmed addresses.
- the multimedia station 6 comprises, in addition to a screen 7 and a keyboard 8, all the functionalities of a personal computer with, in addition, an infrared or ultra-short wave radio electric modem for establishing the contactless connection with the electronics of the housing 1. Embodiments of the infrared link are within the reach of those skilled in the art and need not be described in more detail.
- the multimedia station is also connected to a mobile phone 12 of a cellular radio network.
- the multimedia station 6 can be fixed on the back of the seats which are in front of the passengers of a vehicle as shown in Figure 2, by means of a console 9 comprising a tablet 10 articulated around a hinge 11.
- the user To transfer the prerecorded data in the electronics of the box 1, the user must first orient the box so that its infrared beam illuminates during the entire duration of the emission a semiconductor patch 12 coupled to the infra-red modem of the multimedia station 6. The execution of the data transfer can then be established according to the steps referenced 13 to 18 of the flow diagram of FIG. 3.
- step 13 when the user presses the button 4, the electronics of the box sends a series of information on the infrared link 5 to the infrared modem of the multimedia station 6.
- the information transmitted includes a header field 19 of fixed size containing a randomly generated number and the total length of the information transmitted.
- the multimedia station 6 checks in step 14, thanks to the header 19 that all the information has been transmitted.
- the multimedia station 6 sends a confirmation message in step 15 via the infrared link 5 constituted as shown in Figure 4b, by a data packet, also of fixed length, containing the randomly generated number.
- the electronics of the box 1 if it receives this information well is thus well confirmed that the data which it has sent has indeed been received by the multimedia station 6. Otherwise, the multimedia station 6 sends an error message to destination of the box electronics.
- step 16 if the electronics of the box does not receive the confirmation message, after a predetermined delay according to the time of its transmission, or as soon as it receives an error signal, the latter transmits in step 18 an audible signal inviting the operator to press the button 4 and the method returns to the execution of step 13.
- the multimedia station 6 can also send an error message if the information it has received is incomplete , ie of length less than the length announced in the header 19 of the information sent by the electronics of the box.
- the multimedia station 6 is typically organized in the manner of a personal computer, a PC, to which an infrared interface is connected, and on which software is capable of exchanging information with the electronics of the box and of analyzing these informations.
- the information sent by the electronics of the box are shown diagrammatically in FIG. 4c according to four fields:
- title A field 23 grouping together the information channels to which the user has subscribed. It is a singleton containing an "url” which points to an "rdf” or “rss” file of the Internet protocol.
- the electronics memory of the box contains only an identifier number.
- the other information which has been mentioned above is stored in a remote database.
- the multimedia station software is then designed to read this information, once the user identifier has been received.
- This information is sufficient to allow software to offer the user personalized Internet browsing, through the user's favorite sites, and by indicating the latest news on these sites through information channels.
- Mail reader software with an ergonomic interface can be developed to allow the user to consult these mails.
- personalized browsing on the Internet can be carried out on a standard browser, of the type known, for example, under the trademark "mozilla", possibly with minor modifications.
- the home page which will offer this personalized navigation could be either a text file generated on the multimedia station thanks to the information contained in the memory of the electronics of the box, or the page of a site Internet dynamically generated based on this information.
- All the information sent by the electronics of the box 1 can be encrypted.
- a password, entered by the operator, will allow the information to be decrypted.
- personalized navigation page is on the multimedia station
- specific software within the reach of those skilled in the art may be developed to allow the user to modify his preferences.
- the personalized navigation page is on a remote site, it will be easy to allow the user to modify these preferences via this page.
- the user's preferences are saved in a central site database, the user does not need the box to save new preferences, since the preferences are only saved in the central site.
- the software present in the multimedia station must be able to read the new preferences on the remote site, which can be easily implemented using the http protocol, and on the other hand, to send this information back to the electronics of the box 1 via the infrared link 5. It is then necessary to define a new protocol for sending preferences to the box 1. For example, a second button may be provided on the box 1, to transmit a signal to the multimedia station signifying that it is awaiting data.
- the user must, after having modified his preferences, signal to the machine that he wants to save them, then he will press the save button on his box.
- the multimedia station then sends this information, following the same process as when the box 1 sent the user preferences, that is to say a fixed size header containing a random number and the length of the data to be sent. It is also possible to insert in this header the random number generated by the electronics of the box when it sent the preferences for the first time to the multimedia station, so that the electronics of the box 1 ensures that it receives information from the same sending machine with which it has already communicated.
- the electronics of the box 1 can be produced from a known architecture with microprocessor comprising, as shown in FIG. 5, a microprocessor 24, coupled by a bus 25 to a read-only ROM memory 26 containing the pre-recorded information to establish an Internet connection, to a random access memory RAM 27, to a smart card reader 28 for entering a confidential code, an infrared or ultrashort radio wave modem 29 of the type for example known by the Anglo-Saxon designation "blue touth”, an audible alarm 31, a fingerprint reader for securing access to the Internet network by authentication of the user, a screen 2, the key 3 and the push button 4.
- a microprocessor 24 coupled by a bus 25 to a read-only ROM memory 26 containing the pre-recorded information to establish an Internet connection, to a random access memory RAM 27, to a smart card reader 28 for entering a confidential code, an infrared or ultrashort radio wave modem 29 of the type for example known by the Anglo-Saxon designation "blue touth", an au
