Abstract

Utility model patent for cellular telephones such as the one shown in Figure 1, having a keypad 9 and a display that make it possible to select, access and view utility functions, having additional hardware and/or software 7 and a sensor 3 that emits a laser beam or electromagnetic wave or ultrasound or infrared or any other type of signal to enable the instant measurement of distances, areas and volumes. These distances, areas and volumes appear on the display 6 when the tape measure function of the cellular telephone is accessed and run. The cellular telephone with tape measure function is useful both for ordinary users and civil engineering professionals, engineers, surveyors, master builders, mason bricklayers, real estate professionals, brokers, auto industry professionals, mechanics, body shop professionals, decorators, carpenters, landscapers, scenery and stage designers and the like.

Description

APARELHO DE TELEFONE CELULAR COM A FUNÇÃO TRENA CELL PHONE PHONE WITH FUNCTION
O presente patente de modelo de utilidade tem por objetivo incorporar uma nova função ao aparelho de telefone celular, a função trena, que será útil tanto aos usuários comuns assim como profissionais da construção civil, engenheiros, agrimensores, mestres de obras, pedreiros, profissionais do ramo imobiliário, corretores, profissionais do ramo automobilístico, mecânicos, profissionais de funilaria, do ramo de decoração, marceneiros, paisagistas, engenheiros de cenários, palcos e outros afins. The present utility model patent aims to incorporate a new function into the mobile phone device, the tape measure function, which will be useful to both ordinary users as well as construction professionals, engineers, surveyors, masters, masons, construction professionals. real estate, brokers, auto professionals, mechanics, body shop professionals, decorators, cabinetmakers, landscapers, stage engineers, stage performers and the like.
Já é conhecida no mercado uma variedade de aparelhos de telefone celular com várias funções que facilitam a vida de seus usuários. Além da função de comunicar, para a qual foi criado o aparelho de telefone celular, alguns modelos deste podem incorporar atualmente funções como: câmera fotográfica, câmera de filmagem, jogos eletrônicos, MP3, rádio, termómetro, calculadora, agenda, despertador, portal de internet, lanterna e outras aplicações. Apesar da variedade de funções extras incorporadas ao telefone celular, nenhuma permite/capacita atualmente o uso do telefone celular como um instrumento para a medição e/ou cálculo de distâncias. Exemplo: Um casal está procurando um apartamento para comprar e ao visitarem um que estão interessados, precisam medir a largura de um quarto e calcular a área do piso. O problema é que eles não possuem fita métrica, trena, papel e caneta que possibilitem medições e anotação e/ou cálculo e/ou armazenamento das medidas que necessitam, logo terão que voltar ao local com todo equipamento necessário para executar as medições.  Already known in the market are a variety of mobile phone handsets with various functions that make life easier for its users. In addition to the communicating function, for which the mobile phone was created, some models of it can currently incorporate functions such as: camera, camcorder, video games, MP3, radio, thermometer, calculator, calendar, alarm clock, internet, flashlight and other applications. Despite the variety of extra features built into the mobile phone, none currently allow / enable the use of the mobile phone as an instrument for measuring and / or calculating distances. Example: A couple are looking for an apartment to buy and when visiting one they are interested in, they need to measure the width of a room and calculate the floor area. The problem is that they do not have tape measure, tape measure, paper and pen that allow measurements and annotation and / or calculation and / or storage of the measurements they need, so they will have to return to the site with all the equipment needed to perform the measurements.
A presente patente de modelo de utilidade visa, portanto, com o atual estado da técnica dos telefones celulares descritos acima e com as necessidades descritas no exemplo anterior, incorporar a função trena ao aparelho celular, que permita medição de distâncias e/ou cálculo de áreas e/ou armazenamento de dados resultantes das medições de distâncias.  The present utility model patent therefore aims, with the present state of the art of the mobile phones described above and the needs described in the previous example, to incorporate the tape measure function into the mobile device, which allows distance measurement and / or area calculation and / or storing data resulting from distance measurements.
Para se criar/inserir a função trena ao telefone celular, mostrado na fig.1 , torna- se necessário à incorporação de hardware e/ou software 7 necessários que permitam a medição de distâncias e/ou cálculo de outras dimensões e/ou armazenamento de dados resultantes das medições de distâncias. O principio de funcionamento do telefone celular com a função trena mostrado na fig.1 , baseia-se, por exemplo, na emissão de um feixe de laser ou ondas eletromagneticas ou ultra-som ou infravermelho 2 ou qualquer outro tipo de sinal emitido por um sensor 3 que se propagará/deslocará através de um meio/espaço físico 8 até uma parede, objeto, anteparo ou obstáculo 1. No momento em que o feixe/onda/sinal emitido pelo celular atingir a parede, objeto, anteparo ou obstáculo, à distância 4 percorrida pelo feixe/onda/sinal 2 aparecerá instantaneamente no visor 6 do celular mostrado na fig.1 , sob a forma de um valor 5 já convertido em uma unidade de medida. In order to create / insert the tape measure function in the mobile phone, shown in fig.1, it is necessary to incorporate the necessary hardware and / or software 7 that allow the measurement of distances and / or calculation of other dimensions and / or storage. data resulting from distance measurements. The operating principle of the mobile phone with the tape measure function shown in fig.1 is based, for example, on the emission of a laser beam or electromagnetic waves or ultrasound or infrared 2 or any other type of signal emitted by a sensor 3 that will propagate / travel through a physical space / medium 8 to a wall, object, bulkhead or obstacle 1. At the moment when the beam / wave / signal emitted by the mobile phone strikes the wall, object, bulkhead or obstacle The distance 4 traveled by the beam / wave / signal 2 will appear instantly on the mobile phone display 6 shown in Fig. 1 as a value 5 already converted to a unit of measurement.
No caso da aplicação do modelo de utilidade na área da construção civil, o engenheiro, mestre de obra ou pedreiro de posse do telefone celular com a função trena, poderá, por exemplo, obter medir rapidamente a altura do pé direito de uma casa, assim como a sua a largura, comprimento, obter áreas dos cómodos da mesma, de um terreno, volume/profundidade de um poço vazio, profundidade de um furo para fundação e uma gama de outras aplicações. In the case of applying the utility model in the area of civil construction, the engineer, contractor or bricklayer in possession of the measuring tape can, for example, be able to quickly measure the height of the right foot of a house. as its width, length, get areas of the same, a terrain, volume / depth of an empty well, depth of a foundation hole and a range of other applications.
