Definitions
- the present invention relates to a computerized electronic device for storing and displaying business cards and their contents; being equipped with an LCD color screen Visualization can be done using a 2D screen or future LCD 3D screens to give more personalities and realism to the visualized maps, one can also use any other similar technology; such as the organic OLED screen which makes the images sharper and more vivid the @BC: (@ Business Card) in English - the temporary name we give to this device - the ability to represent the business card (s) as they appear on the paper that is to say a complete graphic representation of the said card with all its details, its colors and its logo and all its information is as if we saw a paper card that can be view double-sided if necessary.
- the organic OLED screen which makes the images sharper and more vivid the @BC: (@ Business Card) in English - the temporary name we give to this device - the ability to represent the business card (s) as they appear on the paper that is to say a complete graphic representation of the said card with all its details, its colors and its logo and all
- the main advantage is to avoid having cumbersome and hard-to-access business card albums.
- a very modern way of storage and communication a pocket object very light and very easy to wear and consult at any time.
- this device gives access to all the information concerning a person and therefore a business card stored in advance, by viewing its information in Word mode or any other similar reading mode.
- Another very important advantage is the whole interface with the modern means of communication such as fixed or portable computers or mobile phones etc.
- This device works when two or more carriers of this device want to exchange their business cards by pressing Send or Receive cards simultaneously and their contents are transferred from one device to another automatically in a few seconds its cards are automatically stored in the device. in alphabetical order, or according to the date of transfer or any other chosen backup mode.
- This device is powered by a Lithium battery as is the case of most mobile phones today which gives it a battery life of at least a week this battery is rechargeable as it is also the case. that of the mobile phones via a sector operating with a 220 V socket this current input socket located at the bottom of the device ( Figure A)
- the battery used is of the Lithium Ion Polymer (Li-poly) type the solution of the Lithium battery is by no means exclusive we can think about the use of other energy storage technique such as the latest generation (more modern and lighter) Fuel cell that will have more autonomy than that of Lithium.
- This device consists of a screen (the same size as a standard visa card) is a built-in keyboard ( Figure B) a length estimated at 11 cm by 6 cm width approximately a thickness estimated at approximately 0.60 Centimeter its dimensions can be further reduced in the case where one uses a built-in keyboard of the tactile type integrating the functions of the keyboard in the screen, its dimensions are not restrictive but its dimensions seem adequate.
- the screen must guarantee maximum readability and sharpness we believe that its resolution must be far greater than 176x220 pixels.
- the keyboard has the following functions: Turn on (figure C) and switch off the device (figure D)
- the function displayed consists in displaying the memory of the device which appears in two horizontal columns or one accesses the main menu composed of card already stored in alphabetical order in two columns either by name or by companies (figure F) and thus by function that is to say that we return to the menu the user has the choice to search between two columns side by side a column with names of people the other with the Company Names (figure F) this choice is not restrictive you can think of other means of access to cards, by clicking on his choice the user accesses the business card sought with his graphic (logo color to the same dimensions as the actual paper card) (figure K) the user can simply display this card and use the information contained in this card; The user can go further in the menu by entering a submenu connected to a given card ( Figure L) which allows him to access essential information (which appear in Word mode or any similar mode) which allows possible to use the interface with other modern means of communication such as the mobile phone by sending from
- the Alphabetical Keys The keyboard of this device is equipped with a key (with a Latin alphabet or any other alphabet of known languages and with numbers from 0 to 9 (figure D) access the desired map by pressing the letter of the beginning of the name of the person or the name of the company.
- the data will be stored in a memory type Flash or card or why not in a small hard drive that has a large storage capacity or any other means of data storage.
- the means of data transmission is through the infrared or short-range radio frequency radio wave using the frequency of 2.4 GHz, and to manage radio-type wireless connections between multiple devices in a perimeter of 10 meters with transmission speeds up to IMbps.
- This invention has the advantage of storing several thousand business cards in a single device very light and very elegant and also very easy to use, it allows the visualization of its cards as they appear on the paper support retaining all the graphical qualities of this one with in addition the possibility of seeing the information contained in the cards (including the Name + First Name + Address + Telephone No. and Fax + Email) separately in Word mode or any other similar mode guaranteeing readability and ease of reading, which simplifies the interface between this device and other means of communication.
- We can therefore use his information as desired by sending them instantly to any modern communication device for it to exploit them according to our needs rather than take notes in a paper and compose or write on his mobile phone or his pocket PC or in any other means of communication.
- the device works with the principle of reciprocity of the two carriers of this device, to exchange their cards users must press respectively the keys of reception and sending simultaneously which avoids the interception of his card by anyone; once the transfer is complete the device warns the user of the completion of the task.
- the device is equipped with a keypad with keys numbered from 1 to 9 including the zero and the English alphabet from A to Z or any another modern alphabet ( Figure D) or any other language used in cell phones, which gives it a definite advantage for ease of use.
- the device is equipped with an infrared input and output terminal (figure M) to transfer data to other media. It is also equipped with an entry for the USB key (Figure N) for the physical and direct download of a computer card for example or for the transfer of the entire card if necessary.
- the other advantage is mobility because the user is not obliged in all his travels to take with him all his business cards albums.
- Another advantage of this device is that it avoids the user to have thousands of cards piled randomly in albums or in the office in a disorganized manner; in short this modern device signs the killing of the old is obsolete business card made of paper.
