Datenträger für ein Mobilf nkgerätData carrier for a mobile radio device
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Datenträger für ein Mobilfunkgerät. Jedes Mobilfunkgerät besitzt einen Datenträger, der üblicherweise mit SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) bezeichnet wird. Dieser Datenträger dient zur Identifizierung eines Benutzers des Mobilfunkgeräts gegenüber einem Mobil- funkanbieter, über den die Verbindung abgewickelt wird, so daß eine korrekte Abrechnung gegenüber dem Benutzer möglich ist. Solche Datenträger besitzen einen begrenzten Speicherplatz, der maximal 64 kB umfaßt, um darin Nutzerdaten wie Telefonnummern usw. zu speichern. Dieser Speicher reicht jedoch nicht aus, um beispielsweise große Dateien wie MP3-Dateien aus dem Internet laden und sodann in dem Speicher ablegen zu können .The invention relates to a data carrier for a mobile radio device. Each mobile device has a data carrier, which is usually referred to as SIM (Subscriber Identification Module). This data carrier is used to identify a user of the mobile radio device to a mobile radio provider via which the connection is processed, so that correct billing is possible for the user. Such data carriers have a limited storage space, which comprises a maximum of 64 kB, in order to store user data such as telephone numbers, etc. However, this memory is not sufficient, for example, to load large files such as MP3 files from the Internet and then to be able to store them in the memory.
Eine Lösung zu diesem Problem ist von einem Mobiltelefon vom Typ Nokia 9110 bekannt, bei dem zusätzlich eine Datenspeicherkarte eingesetzt werden kann. Dies ist jedoch verhältnismäßig aufwendig und erfordert eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme dieser zweiten Karte sowie Anschlüssen zum Lesen und Schreiben von Daten.A solution to this problem is known from a mobile phone of the Nokia 9110 type, in which a data storage card can also be used. However, this is relatively complex and requires a device for receiving this second card and connections for reading and writing data.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Datenträger für ein Mobilfunkgerät anzugeben, der die Speicherung großer Datenmengen ermöglicht, ohne daß aufwendige Vorrichtungen im Mobilfunkgerät vorgesehen werden müssen.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a data carrier for a mobile radio device which enables the storage of large amounts of data without the need for complex devices to be provided in the mobile radio device.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Datenträger für ein Mobilfunkgerät gelöst mit einer Identifizierungsvorrichtung zur Identifizierung eines Benutzers des Mobilfunkgeräts gegenüber einem Mobilfunkanbieter und einem nicht- flüchtigen elektronischen Speicher zur Aufnahme großer Datenmengen . Der erfindungsgemäße Datenträger weist also sowohl die üblichen Funktionen als Subscriber Identification Module als auch einen Speicher zur Aufnahme von großen Datenmengen, die beispielsweise aus dem Internet heruntergeladen werden, auf. Ein erfindungsgemäßer Datenträger kann statt einer konventionellen SIM-Karte verwendet werden. Um die alte Schnittstelle verwenden zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Datenträger Kontaktflächen nach der ISO 7816 aufweist. Zusätzlich können aber auch Schnittstellen nach anderen Standards, beispiels- weise für die sogenannten MMCards oder SD-Cards vorgesehen werden. Durch die flexible Ausgestaltung ist es möglich, daß in ein Mobilfunkgerät entweder eine normale SIM-Karte oder eine SIM-Karte mit einer zusätzlichen Speicherfunktionen nach der Erfindung eingesetzt werden kann. Mobilf nkgeräte sind dadurch innerhalb einer Firma oder einer Familie leicht übertragbar .This object is achieved according to the invention by a data carrier for a mobile radio device with an identification device for identifying a user of the mobile radio device from a mobile radio provider and a non-volatile electronic memory for recording large amounts of data. The data carrier according to the invention therefore has both the usual functions as a subscriber identification module and a memory for holding large amounts of data which are downloaded, for example, from the Internet. A data carrier according to the invention can be used instead of a conventional SIM card. In order to be able to use the old interface, it is advantageous if the data carrier has contact areas according to ISO 7816. In addition, interfaces according to other standards, for example for the so-called MMCards or SD cards, can also be provided. Due to the flexible design, it is possible that either a normal SIM card or a SIM card with an additional memory function according to the invention can be used in a mobile radio device. This makes it easy to transfer mobile phones within a company or family.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbei- spiels näher erläutert. Die Figur zeigt einen erfindungsgemä- ßen Datenträger in einem Mobilfunkgerät.The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment. The figure shows a data carrier according to the invention in a mobile radio device.
In ein Mobilf nkgerät 1 ist gemäß der Figur, die die Anordnung schematisch darstellt, ein Datenträger 2 eingesetzt. Dieser weist einerseits eine Identifizierungsvorrichtung 4 zur Identifizierung eines Benutzers des Mobilfunkgeräts gegenüber einem Mobilfunkanbieter auf. Andererseits ist ein nicht flüchtiger elektronischer Speicher 3 zur Aufnahme großer Datenmengen vorgesehen. Die Karte kommuniziert über zwei Schnittstellen 7 und 8 mit Funktionseinheiten 5 des Mobil- funkgeräts . Die Schnittstelle 7 ist eine standardisierteA data carrier 2 is inserted into a mobile radio device 1 according to the figure, which shows the arrangement schematically. On the one hand, this has an identification device 4 for identifying a user of the mobile radio device in relation to a mobile radio provider. On the other hand, a non-volatile electronic memory 3 is provided for holding large amounts of data. The card communicates via two interfaces 7 and 8 with functional units 5 of the mobile radio device. The interface 7 is a standardized one
Schnittstelle für SIM-Karten gemäß der ISO 7816. Die Schnittstelle 8 ist nach einem anderen Standard für Speicherkarten ausgestaltet. Durch das Mobilfunkgerät können vom Internet 6 Daten bezogen und anschließend durch die Funktionseinheiten 5 über die Schnittstelle 8 in den Speicher 3 übertragen werden. Optional kann auf dem Datenträger 2 eine Verbindung zwischen der Identifizierungsvorrichtung 4 und dem Speicher 3 vorgesehen werden. In vielen Fällen ist aber eine rein räumliche Zusammenführung der SIM-Karte und der Speicherkarte auf einem gemeinsamen Datenträger ausreichend. Interface for SIM cards according to ISO 7816. Interface 8 is designed according to another standard for memory cards. Data can be obtained from the Internet 6 using the mobile radio device and then transferred to the memory 3 by the functional units 5 via the interface 8. A connection between the identification device 4 and the memory 3 can optionally be provided on the data carrier 2. In many cases, however, a purely spatial combination of the SIM card and the memory card on a common data carrier is sufficient.
