Definitions
- the invention relates to a mobile phone according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a mobile phone is generally known.
- the number of pushbuttons is limited to that of a mobile phone keypad with normally ten number keys and some special keys.
- the keys usually have number and letter names and symbol names, which are backlit by individual lighting elements arranged under the buttons.
- the mobile phone is also provided with a display on which the functions called up with the keys are visible.
- a backlit mobile phone keypad with numbers and letters arranged on each key is known, in which only for entering numbers the numbers arranged on the keys, and for the input of letters only the letters arranged on the keys are backlit.
- the number of keys is essentially limited to the numbers zero to nine, so that several keys are assigned to each key.
- the keys are each illuminated from below by means of an LED, which can emit differently colored light.
- Letters and numbers are each formed by means of differently colored, transparent areas on the keys, the colors of the transparent areas being matched to the colors of the emitting light of the LED, so that only the numbers and light are emitted when light is emitted in one color only the letters are illuminated in the other color.
- EP 0 802 659 A1 discloses a mobile telephone with an essentially two-part housing, in which the two parts are hingedly connected to one another by means of a hinge.
- a touch-sensitive display is arranged in one part.
- keys with numbers and several letters are arranged, which act on the touch-sensitive display when closed, for entering numbers and letters in a conventional manner by multiple actuation of individual keys.
- the display When open, the display shows buttons that cannot be operated via the buttons for operating certain telephone functions.
- a disadvantage of this prior art is the multiple assignment of the individual keys of mobile phone keypads with a number and several letters and characters, which is particularly difficult to enter for letters. Letters and words can only be entered by pressing individual keys several times. Such a keyboard is not suitable for use as an input medium for a computer or computer-like applications, such as writing e-mails, managing a calendar or the like, because the input is too slow.
- a mobile phone with a hinged keyboard is known.
- the hinged keyboard has a conventional mobile phone keypad for entering numbers in one half.
- the other half extends the conventional mobile phone keyboard to a computer-like keyboard for entering letters.
- the keyboard is used to enter letters in another Direction viewed as for entering numbers.
- letters and numbers are arranged rotated by 90 ° on the individual keys.
- the invention has for its object to provide a mobile phone of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1, which extends the functions of the mobile phone in a simple, user-friendly manner and improves operability.
- the keyboard comprises a data keyboard, which is preferably arranged on an essentially one-piece housing part, and its function as a mobile phone keyboard can be switched to the function as another data keyboard, in particular a computer keyboard.
- the term data keyboard includes a keyboard with at least one number of keys corresponding to the letters of the alphabet, so that each key is assigned only one letter for entering letters.
- the data keyboard preferably comprises an uppercase / lowercase changeover key with which, for example, by holding down while entering letters, uppercase or lowercase letters can be entered.
- the data keyboard is a Numeric switch includes, with which, for example, by holding down while entering letters, a few keys can be switched to enter numbers.
- the data keyboard preferably has its own key for entering spaces.
- the term one-part housing part encompasses a mobile telephone with an essentially one-part or two-part housing, for example a hinged housing, the keyboard being arranged completely on one housing part and not, as in the prior art, in half on two hinged housing parts.
- the keyboard can be used not only as a mobile phone keyboard, but also as a general data keyboard, in particular as a computer keyboard, for example for user-friendly use in connection with computer-type applications, such as writing emails, managing an appointment calendar and calendar entries, using word processing programs or like.
- the switchover takes place by means of a switchover device attached to the mobile telephone, so that the switchover can be easily accomplished.
- a further embodiment of the invention provides that the display is in the form of a monitor that can be swiveled away from the mobile phone, preferably arranged on a second housing part of the mobile phone, and that the changeover device can be actuated depending on the pivoting position of the monitor.
- the switchover is thus automatically determined by the pivoting position of the monitor.
- the keyboard has means for actuating a monitor cursor that can be displayed on the monitor. These means can preferably be formed by a toggle and pressure switch operating in different directions.
- the signal transmission of these means and the keyboard to the monitor can preferably take place in a contactless and lineless manner, in particular by radio, laser, ultrasound or infrared. Conventional wired transmission is also possible.
- the designations are arranged in the correct position according to the position of use of the keyboard.
- the designations for the function as a mobile phone can be read in the correct position in the upright position of the mobile phone, while the (different) designations for the function as a data or computer keyboard can be read in the correct position in the horizontal position of the mobile phone.
- the backlighting for the use of the keyboard as a data keyboard has a different color than for the use of the keyboard as a mobile phone keyboard, so that the two functions can be better distinguished.
- differently colored transparent areas that form the names are used in conjunction with switchable illuminants that emit differently colored light. It is also conceivable to implement this by means of switchable illuminants which optionally emit light in different polarization planes, the transparent regions forming the different designations being permeable only to light with a specific polarization plane.
- the designations are shown on the push buttons.
- the keyboard is preferably wireless with devices other than the mobile phone, for example with a personal data planner, PDA, for entering and managing, for example, an appointment calendar, with an MP3 player, for example for entering title and artist names , or, for example, can be connected and used with a computer that is predominantly used as a DVD player for operating the same.
- the wireless connection can be made, for example, via Bluetooth or WLAN protocol by radio technology, or by infrared, ultrasound, or the like.
- the data keyboard is arranged completely on a first, essentially one-part housing part, the display being arranged on a second, likewise essentially one-part housing part.
- the term in one piece here designates a housing part which is itself rigid and not foldable or foldable, the first and the second housing part, each of which is essentially in one piece, being able to be connected to one another so as to be foldable, so that the first and the second housing part in when closed, enclose and protect the keyboard and monitor.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the data keyboard and the monitor or the two housing parts, on which the data keyboard and the monitor are each arranged, are connected to one another with a joint, for example a swivel joint, which preferably has mutually perpendicular pivot axes are, so that the monitor can be pivoted away from the keyboard in any direction and about any pivot axis.
