- the fragrance for example, to a perfume with regard to the fragrance.
- the communication device advantageously has corresponding reproduction means for reproducing the product information.
- the reproduction means are the loudspeakers or the associated electronics.
- a display for example of a UMTS cell phone, is preferably used for image information.
- special taste or fragrance libraries which are stored in the communication device, can be controlled accordingly and the requested and transmitted taste or fragrance sample made available to the user. Is also it is possible that the taste or fragrance sample is generated or synthesized on the basis of the transmitted information in the communication device itself.
- a CD or DVD is preferred as the product for which the product information is to be transmitted to the user.
- the CD has acoustic signals stored, e.g. in the case of a conventional music or voice CD, particularly characteristic information can be transferred from the telephone computer to, for example, a mobile phone of the user, via the CD via the telephone connection according to the invention.
- the product information includes at least one music or speech sequence of the CD, and the entire content of the CD can also be demonstrated.
- a corresponding trailer can be demonstrated to the user.
- the data characteristic of the product on the product, or on its packaging itself are identifiable identification data.
- these can be special data that were attached to the product for the purpose of realizing the present invention, and on the other hand, these identification data can also be data already present on the product, which according to the invention are also used for identification.
- the identification data are an alphanumeric component of a bar code, wherein a widely used bar code, such as a UPC (Universal Product Code) bar code, is preferably used as the bar code.
- a widely used bar code such as a UPC (Universal Product Code) bar code
- UPC barcode has a number component that is suitable for unambiguous product identification.
- Such a barcode is conventionally used, for example, to facilitate the sale of corresponding products in an inventory management system or a corresponding cash register system in retail. According to the present invention, it was recognized that such an identification date can also be used outside the system set up to identify the corresponding product.
- the telephone computer preferably has a further database with the information associated with the products about the providers of the products, availability, delivery and payment options, price and the like. In this way, in addition to the primary information, such as, for example, the music pieces actually stored on a CD, secondary information can also be communicated to the user. In particular, by storing the data in the telephone computer, it is possible to
- the telephone computer preferably recognizes the subscriber number of the user's telephone and stores it. In this way, the telephone computer can call the user back and send him an SMS, for example. In particular, the number of an order hotline can be transmitted to the user, for example, so that he no longer has to enter this number himself. A corresponding sales offer can also be submitted to the user in this way.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the components preferably used with the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic flow diagram which explains the sequence of the method according to the invention in a highly simplified manner.
- 1 shows the rough structure of the system, which is preferably used to carry out the method according to the invention.
- a telephone computer 1 is provided, which can be dialed via a predefined call number from a telephone 2 of a user, which is preferably a cell phone.
- the mobile telephone 2 has a keyboard 2a, a display device 2b and a loudspeaker 2c.
- the method according to the invention is used to play music sequences from a music CD 4, the casing of which is shown schematically, to the user. Such use is useful, for example, when the user is in a shop that offers such music CDs for sale.
- the method according to the invention can be used, for example, when the store has not provided a playback option for the CD 4. However, even if all the playback options are occupied or the user needs additional information, such as a cheaper offer for the same music CD, the present method is particularly suitable.
- the CD 4 has a barcode 5, which is preferably a UPC (Universal Product Code) barcode.
- the UPC barcode 5 in turn has a component which is formed only from numbers. This part of the barcode 5 is designated by the reference number 6.
- part 6 should be an alphanumeric component of the bar code, since, as will be explained in more detail below, alphanumeric data can in principle be entered via the keypad 2a of the mobile telephone 2.
- the user dials a previously announced service number on his mobile phone 2, which can be free of charge or subject to charges. By dialing this number, the user's mobile phone 2 is connected to the telephone computer 1. After an initial greeting and navigation, the user is given the opportunity to transmit the alphanumeric part 6 of the barcode 5 to the telephone computer 1 via the keyboard 2a of the mobile telephone 2.
- the DTMF (dual tone multi frequency dialing) method which is also called multi-frequency dialing method (DTMF), is preferably used for this purpose.
- the telephone computer 1 has a first database 3, in which individual music sequences or the entire content of all available music CDs is stored.
- the user receives an acoustic input by entering the alphanumeric part 6 of the barcode 5 that uniquely identifies the CD Playback of the selected music CD 4.
- the user can also be provided with further information on the selected CD 4 from a further database 7, which in particular contains additional information about the product.
- additional information can in principle be of any type. For example, information about the artist, the genesis of the piece of music, but also other providers of the same product could be made available to the user.
- the telephone computer 1 automatically sends an SMS to the mobile phone 2 of the user, with which, for example, the telephone number of an order hotline is offered, a purchase which has been processed by the navigation in the telephone computer 1 is confirmed or with which a purchase offer is made to the user or caller.
- step 10 the user calls the telephone computer 1 via his cell phone.
