Description

Aid device for activate telecommunication equipment by remote signal
The subject of the utility model is an apparatus for the activation of telecommunications devices by remote signal equipped with a substrate to accommodate at least part of the tele- communications device wherein the substrate is connected to an activation mechanism and the activation mechanism is assigned to at least one of the signal receiving inputs of the telecommunications device.
There are known mechanical adapters developed for the accommodation of mobile telephone sets. Such solution is demonstrated e.g. in patent specification number HU P 00 03980. The essence of this patent specification is that, by means of the adapter installed on the mobile telephone set, the operations of the keyboard are modified in an easy manner, e.g. instead of the 12 keys one single push-button is pressed thereby making the telephone suitable exclusively for performing one task.
The disadvantage of this solution, however, is that the adapter is capable of transforming the mechanical operation only, but the telephone set cannot be switched on from distance.
Another disadvantage is that the adapter is only suitable for the forward selection of a predefined function, and there is no possibility whatsoever to depart therefrom.
The purpose of design according to the utility model is to eliminate the deficiencies of known adapters and broaden the fields of end-use of various telecommunications devices, including the implementation of a simple multifunctional monitoring and alarm centre for safe operation.
The apparatus according to the utility model was conceived on the basis of the recognition that, associating the telecommunications device with a substrate to accommodate the former wherein an executive unit for the activation by remote operation is inserted in an unusual manner, and the executive unit controlled in this way is coupled with the telecommunications device in a novel manner by means of some activation mechanism, then the telecommunications device becomes suitable for carrying out monitoring and alarm functions under remote control from large distance, making the task feasible.
The recognition namely included the option for transmitting by a single instruction, in different ways, a self-acting alarm to a number of recipients through a suitably selected activating signal transmitter - receiver unit by means of the apparatus of peculiar design, whether voluntarily e.g. in the case of robbery using the remote controller, or automatically e.g. in the case of a predefined event such as the electronic detection of carbon monoxide generated as a result of incomplete combustion.
To achieve the set objective the apparatus according to the utility model equipped with a substrate suitable for accommodating at least part of the telecommunications device and the substrate is connected to the activation mechanism, and the activation mechanism is assigned at least to one of the signal receiving inputs of the telecommunications device is designed for the activation by remote signal of telecommunications devices in such a manner that the sub- strate is integrated with a receiver unit, controller unit and executive unit, the receiver unit is connected to the controller unit via signal transmission line, whereas the controller unit is coupled with the activation mechanism through the executive unit, and the receiver unit is connected via signal transmission channel with the activating signal transmitter unit independent from the substrate and/or installed on the substrate.
Another possible criterion of the apparatus according to the utility model is that the executive unit is equipped with a medium feeder device and a motor balloon connected with the output of the medium feeder device allowing the flow of the medium made at least partly of elastic material, and the activation mechanism has a compressive element wherein the compressive element is fixed to the motor balloon, when the telecommunications device is placed in the receptacle of the substrate the compressive element is located above the keyboard of the telecommunications device and/or the touch screen of the telecommunications device. In another version of the apparatus the medium feeder device is connected to a mini- compressor or the medium feeder device is connected to a fluid pump, and the fluid pump - with a medium storage tank.
In a different version of the utility model the executive unit is equipped at least with a driving motor and the driving motor is connected to the drive mechanism, the activation mechanism has a compressive element wherein the compressive element is fixed to the drive mechanism, and when the telecommunications device is placed in the receptacle of the substrate the compressive element is placed above the keyboard of the telecommunications device and/or e above the touch screen of the telecommunications device.
In a different version of the apparatus the executive unit is equipped with a magnetic mover element, the activation mechanism has a compressive element, wherein the compressive element is fixed to the magnetic mover element, and when the telecommunications device is placed in the receptacle of the substrate the compressive element is placed above the keyboard of the telecommunications device and/or above the touch screen of the telecommunications device.
In a further implementation of the utility model the executive unit is equipped with an energy storage member, and a release mechanism connected mechanically with the energy storage member, the activation mechanism has a compressive element, wherein the compressive element is connected to the energy storage member, and when the telecommunications device is placed in the receptacle of the substrate the compressive element is placed above the keyboard of the telecommunications device and/or above the touch screen of the telecommunications device.
As regards the apparatus it may be preferable that the executive unit is also equipped with a coupling component, the activation mechanism has an electrically conductive connecting element, wherein the connecting element is integrated in the coupling component, and when the telecommunications device is placed in the receptacle of the substrate the connecting element is connected to the electrical input terminal of the telecommunications device, further the telecommunications device is a wireless communication device such as a mobile telephone . The apparatus built according to the utility model has numerous advantageous properties, of which the key one is the possibility to assemble, without any particular skills, a monitoring and alarm centre for the protection of life and assets allowing the transmission of alarm signal to a number of different independent locations without a separate information transmission network, in different message formats, if required.
Among the advantages it should be mentioned that the device used for the transmission of messages is the mobile telephone set well-known by itself and widely used for telecommunications purposes, and in given cases a whole series of wire telephones may be applied.
Further advantage is that this novel apparatus allows the use of the telecommunications device applied therein for other optional purposes, whenever the apparatus is out of use; moreover, the receptacle of the substrate may accommodate several telecommunications devices of various types. In this manner the use of the apparatus is more convenient and in the case of the failure of the currently used telecommunications device it may easily be replaced, thereby allowing the restoration of apparatus to serviceable condition in the shortest possible time.
Among the advantages one should mention that the mechanical components of the apparatus are easy to manufacture and assemble in traditional method, since the number of components is very low and the likelihood of their failure is very low as well. Another favourable r property originating therefrom is that the components practically need no maintenance, so the operation cost is negligible.
Another advantage is that the commissioning of the apparatus requires no skills whatsoever, and due to the unusual design most of the implementations require no operator attendance or interference during operation.
The apparatus according to the utility model is discussed below in detail in connection with the examples of implementation, on the basis of the drawing. In the drawing
Figure 1 represents the partly sectional side view of a version of the apparatus; Figure 2 represents the partly sectional side view of another version of the apparatus; Figure 3 represents the partly sectional side view of a different version of the apparatus; Figure 4 represents the sectional view of a part of the substrate of the apparatus; and Figure 5 represents the partly sectional side view of the executive unit of a version of the apparatus. In Figure 1 a version of the apparatus according to the utility model is shown where the telecommunications device (1) is a wireless communication device, that is, a mobile telephone. The removable telecommunications device (1) is placed in the receptacle (11) of the substrate (10). In the substrate (10) there is a receiver unit (20), a controller unit (30) and an executive unit (40), whereas in this implementation the activating signal transmitter unit (60) is a signal transmitter independent from the substrate (10). As a consequence the signal transmission channel (61) connecting the activating signal transmitter unit (60) with the receiver unit (20) is a radio frequency link created temporarily only when the activating signal transmitter unit (60) is switched on. It is evident that the receiver unit (20) and the controller unit (30) may constitute a single mechanical component, but this means no difference neither in functional nor in operational terms.
Figure 1 shows that the receptacle (11) of the substrate (10) also accommodates the compressive element (51) of the activation mechanism (50) positioned above a certain point of the keyboard (Ia) of the telecommunications device (1) in the receptacle (11). The activation mechanism (50) carrying the compressive element (51) is connected to the hollow motor balloon (42) of elastic material of the executive unit (40), whereas the motor balloon (42) itself is fixed to the substrate (10). The medium feeder device (41) and the medium storage tank (46) connected to the former also form part of the executive unit (40). The outlet (41a) of the medium feeder device (41) is connected to the motor balloon (42) in a manner assuring the flow of the medium, e.g. through pipeline (41b). In this version of the apparatus the medium feeder device (41) is a fluid pump designed to carry fluid from the medium storage tank (46) into the cavity of the motor balloon (42) made of elastic material. It is to be noted that the medium feeder device (41) may be a mini-compressor designed for the supply of air.
The output (32) of the controller unit (30) responsible for switching on and off the medium feeder device (41) of the executive unit (40) is connected with the medium feeder device (41) of the executive unit (40) and the input (31) of the controller unit (30) is connected with the receiver unit (20) through the signal transmission line (21). During the operation of the apparatus according to Figure 1 the radio frequency signal transmission channel (61) is established when the activating signal transmitter unit (60) is switched on, through which the activation instruction is transmitted to the receiver unit (20).
Upon receiving the instruction the receiver unit (20) sends a signal to the input (31) of the controller unit (30) through the signal transmission line (21). In response to the signal received on the input (31) the controller unit (30) triggers via the output (32) the executive unit (40), the medium feeder device (41) of which - in our case the fluid pump - feeds the fluid from the medium storage tank (46) into the pipeline (41b) via the outlet (41a) of the medium feeder device (41), and begins filling the motor balloon (42) through the pipeline. The fluid fed into the motor balloon (42) expands the motor balloon (24) towards the receptacle (11) of the substrate (10), and thus displaces towards the keyboard (Ia) of the telecommunications device (1) placed in the receptacle (11) the activation mechanism (50) installed on the side of the receptacle (11) closer to the motor balloon (42) and one or several compressive elements (51) fixed on it. When the compressive element (51) reaches the keyboard (Ia) of the tele- communications device (1), then the given keys operate the telecommunications device (1), that is, the mobile telephone, which either carries out the pre-programmed step or steps locally, or initiates calls via the central server, sends SMS, MMS or sound messages thereby informing the pre-programmed recipients about the occurrence of the given event.
When the increase of the resistance of medium becomes detectable in the medium feeder device (41), that is, when the compressive element (51) butts on the keyboard (Ia) of the telecommunications device (1), then the medium feeder device (41) sends a signal to the controller unit (30), which reverses the operation of the medium feeder device (41) and pumps out the fluid from the motor balloon (42) into the medium storage tank (46). Due to the elasticity of the motor balloon (42) the compressive element (51) moves off the keyboard (Ia) of the telecommunications device (1) and return to normal position. Then the telecommunications device (1) can easily be removed from the receptacle (11) of the substrate (10), if required.
In the case when the medium feeder device (41) is a mini-compressor feeding compressed air into the motor balloon (42), the mechanism differs from the one shown in Figure 1 that the medium storage tank (46) is optional. During operation it is sufficient to open the bleeder valve after the stopping of the medium feeder device (41) to deflate the inflated motor balloon (42) and return the same to normal position in automatic mode. In Figure 2 an apparatus is shown wherein the telecommunications device (1) placed in the receptacle (11) of the substrate (10) is a hand-held computer incorporating also a wireless telephone. The compressive element (51) is located above the touch screen (Ib) of the telecommunications device (1) and the activation mechanism (50) also carrying the compressive element (51) is fixed to the drive mechanism (44) forming part of the executive unit (40). The drive mechanism (44) is a rack-pinion, wherein the rack is geared in the activation mechanism (50), whereas the pinion is geared in the driving motor (43). Obviously the driving motor (40) is a structural component belonging to the executive unit (40).
This variant of the apparatus also incorporates a controller unit (30), the output (32) of which is connected to the driving motor (43) of the executive unit (40), whereas the input (31) of the controller unit (30) is connected to the receiver unit (20) via the signal transmission line (21). In contrast to the variant shown in Figure 1, however, the signal transmission channel (61) connecting the receiver unit (20) and the activating signal transmitter unit (60) is a wire line, and the activating signal transmitter unit (60) is also accommodated in the substrate (10).
The layout of the apparatus according to Figure 2 may be preferable for local alarm wherein the activating signal transmitter unit (60) incorporates an infrared movement detector or a carbon monoxide detector.
During the operation of apparatus shown in Figure 2 the activating signal transmitter unit (60) switches on when detecting movement or smoke and transmits an instruction through the signal transmission channel (61) to the receiver unit (20), which, in turn, transmits a signal via the signal transmission line (21) to the input (31) of the controller unit (30). In response to this signal the controller unit (30) switches on the driving motor (43) of the executive unit (40) via output (32), and the rotation of the driving motor (43) turns the pinion of the drive mechanism (44) thereby forcing the linear movement of the rack of the drive mechanism (44). As a consequence of the movement of the drive mechanism (44) the activation mechanism (50) moves towards the touch screen (Ib) of the telecommunications device (1) placed into the receptacle (11) of the substrate (10). This movement continues until one or several compressive elements (51) of the activation mechanism (50) reach the touch screen (Ib). Then the telecommunications device (1) is triggered. The telecommunications device (1), in our case a hand-held computer, carries out the program by sending e.g. an e-mail, a stored fax message, or perhaps a stored sound message to pre-programmed addresses, telephone numbers or computers. It should be stressed that, if the drive mechanism (44) of the executive unit (40) is a complex mechanism equipped with several driving motors (43) designed to map movements along coordinates x-y-z of three axes, then the compressive element (51) may be placed above varying positions of the touch screen (Ib) of the telecommunications device (1) depending on the nature of the signal transmitted by the activating signal transmitter unit (60), and thus the telecommunications device (1) carries out different programs or series of instructions in response to various signals arriving from the activating signal transmitter unit (60).
It is evident that the design of the executive unit (40) may be different. For example in Figure 4 an executive unit (40) is shown wherein the magnetic mover element (45) is a plunger electromagnet with a compressive element (51) fixed onto the end of the activation mechanism (50) closest to the receptacle (11) of the substrate (10).
In response to the signal arriving from the receiver unit (20) to the input (31) of the controller unit (30) via the signal transmission line (21) a pulse signal is generated on the output (32) of the controller unit (30) used to switch the plunger electromagnet of the magnetic mover element (45) of the executive unit (40), thereby drawing in the moving core. The compressive element (51) fastened to the moving core presses, in turn, the selected key of the keyboard (Ia) of the telecommunications device (1).
* Figure 5 demonstrates an executive unit (40) incorporating an energy storage member (47); this variant has a coil spring and a release mechanism (48) connected with the former. When actuated, the release mechanism (48) releases the energy stored by the wound up energy storage member (47), thereby projecting the compressive element (51) fixed to the end of the activation mechanism (50) opposite to the energy storage member (47) in a direction opposite to the energy storage member (47) triggering the telecommunications device (1) located therein.
Figure 3 shows a variant of the apparatus wherein the telecommunications device (1) is triggered by electrical signal rather than mechanical or electromechanical switching. Accordingly the receptacle (11) of the substrate (10) of the apparatus includes a hollow (12) enclosed in the holder (13). The coupling component (49) of the executive unit (40) fits the holder (13) wherein one or several electrically conductive connecting elements (52) of the activation mechanism (50) are fixed. The connecting element (52) protrudes into the receptacle (11) of the substrate (10) so that it is connected to the electrical input terminal (Ic) of the telecommunications device (1) when the telecommunications device (1) is placed in the receptacle (11) of the substrate (10).
Obviously this variant of the apparatus includes the receiver unit (20) and the controller unit (30), and also the activating signal transmitter unit (60) not shown in Figure 3 triggering the receiver unit (20).
During the operation of the apparatus according to Figure 3 an instruction is received on the input (31) of the controller unit (30) when the receiver unit (20) receives a signal via the signal transmission line (21). In response to this signal the controller unit (30) transmits via output (32) an electrical signal to the connecting element (52) or connecting elements (52) of the activation mechanism (50) located in the coupling component (49) of the executive unit (40), received by the telecommunications device (1) through the electrical input terminal (Ic). The instruction received through this electrical input terminal (Ic) then triggers the preprogrammed processes in the telecommunications device (1).
It is to be noted that the substrate (10) of the apparatus may be designed to accommodate also devices other than mobile telephones. The receptacle (11) may be designed to accommodate a wire telephone set as the telecommunications device (1). Evidently the activation mechanism (50) and the executive units (40) of such variant must be designed to meet the given specifications and placed accordingly in the substrate (10). In such case, however, the receiver unit (20), the controller unit (30) and the activating signal transmitter unit (60) are all required.
The apparatus according to the utility model is particularly suited for the simple implementation of monitoring and alarm centres by means of a telecommunications device.
