DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTION  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
L'idée à la base de l'invention est de prévoir un accessoire comprenant des composants Li-Fi et se connectant à un appareil mobile par jack, mais ayant une forme de coque qui conjointement se connecte par jack et s'emboîte sur l'appareil mobile.  The idea underlying the invention is to provide an accessory comprising Li-Fi components and connecting to a mobile device jack, but having a shell shape that connects together by jack and fits on the mobile device.
Cette coque qui est repérée par 1 dans la figure unique comporte un fond 2 généralement plan et rectangulaire, et un bourrelet 3 prolongeant l'un de ses deux pe- tits côtés du fond rectangulaire, ainsi que deux languettes 4 et 5 prolongeant chacune l'un des angles du fond 2 opposés au bourrelet 3.  This shell which is marked by 1 in the single figure has a bottom 2 generally flat and rectangular, and a bead 3 extending one of its two small sides of the rectangular bottom, and two tabs 4 and 5 each extending the one of the corners of the bottom 2 opposite the bead 3.
Lorsque l'appareil mobile, qui est ici un téléphone ou une tablette électronique, est en place en étant en- cliqueté dans la coque, le fond 2 de cette coque couvre la face arrière de l'appareil, et cet appareil est enserré entre le bourrelet 3 qui est en appui contre l'un de ses bords et les languettes 4 et 5 qui couvrent partiel- lement les deux coins de l'appareil qui sont opposés à son bord supérieur. When the mobile device, which is here a phone or an electronic tablet, is in place while being clicked in the shell, the bottom 2 of this shell covers the rear face of the device, and this device is sandwiched between the bead 3 which bears against one of its edges and the tabs 4 and 5 which partially cover the two corners of the device that are opposite its upper edge.
Le bourrelet 3 comporte ainsi une face 7 d'appui contre un bord de l'appareil et s 'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement au fond 2, ainsi qu'une face dite avant 8 ou supérieure, qui s'étend parallèlement au fond 2 et dans le prolongement de la face avant de l'appareil en place dans la coque.  The bead 3 thus comprises a bearing surface 7 against an edge of the apparatus and extending substantially perpendicular to the bottom 2, and a so-called front face 8 or greater, which extends parallel to the bottom 2 and in the extension of the front of the device in place in the hull.
Ce bourrelet 3 a une forme globalement parallélépi- pédique qui présente un certain volume dans lequel sont logés des composants électroniques. Ces composants comportent ici une caméra 9 et une diode 10 qui affleurent à la face 8 ainsi que des éléments de pilotage de ces composants. Ces composants permettent d'émettre et de recevoir par transmission lumineuse Li-Fi des données qui sont transférées depuis et vers l'appareil mobile encli- queté dans la coque, par l'intermédiaire d'une connexion de type jack.  This bead 3 has a generally parallelepipedal shape which has a certain volume in which are housed electronic components. These components here comprise a camera 9 and a diode 10 which are flush with the face 8 as well as control elements of these components. These components make it possible to send and receive by Li-Fi light transmission data that is transferred from and to the mobile device snapped into the shell, via a jack-type connection.
Le bourrelet 3 comporte ainsi une prise jack mâle 12, qui dépasse de la face 7 du bourrelet 3 en qui s'étend parallèlement au fond selon une direction qui est aussi parallèle au bord long du contour rectangulaire de ce fond. Cette prise jack mâle 12 est destinée à s'engager dans une prise jack femelle de l'appareil correspondante, cette prise femelle permettant typiquement de connecter à cet appareil un kit mains-libres comprenant un micro et des écouteurs. The bead 3 thus comprises a male jack 12, which protrudes from the face 7 of the bead 3 in which extends parallel to the bottom in a direction which is also parallel to the long edge of the rectangular contour of the bottom. This male jack 12 is intended to engage in a female jack of the corresponding device, this socket typically allowing to connect to this device a hands-free kit including a microphone and earphones.
Cette prise jack est une prise à connecteur cylindrique de diamètre 3,5 millimètres telle que communément utilisée sur les appareils mobiles actuels, de sorte qu'elle constitue un élément de connexion qui peut être considéré comme standardisé et présent sur la très grande majorité des appareils mobiles disponibles actuellement sur le marché.  This jack is a jack with a 3.5 millimeter diameter cylindrical connector as commonly used on current mobile devices, so it is a connection element that can be considered standardized and present on the vast majority of devices currently available on the market.
Ainsi, les données transférées depuis l'appareil mobile par le connecteur jack sont ensuite mises en forme par les composants intégrés au bourrelet 3 pour être converties en signaux lumineux émis par la diode 10 vers un récepteur tel qu'un système d'éclairage. De manière analogue, les données reçues par le capteur 9 sont converties en données binaires par les composants électroniques intégrés au bourrelet 3 avant d'être transférés via la connection jack vers l'appareil mobile. L ' utilisateur ayant en main 1 ' appareil mobile sur lequel est monté l'équipement peut ainsi manipuler son appareil pour échanger des données par voie Li-Fi, pour par exemple naviguer sur internet, ou bien accéder à des services numériques spécifiques disponibles sur un réseau informatique interfacé avec le système d'éclairage. Thus, the data transferred from the mobile device by the jack connector are then shaped by the components integrated in the bead 3 to be converted into light signals emitted by the diode 10 to a receiver such as a lighting system. Similarly, the data received by the sensor 9 are converted into binary data by the electronic components integrated in the bead 3 before being transferred via the jack connection to the mobile device. The user having in hand the mobile device on which the equipment is mounted can thus manipulate his device to exchange data via Li-Fi, for example to browse the Internet, or to access specific digital services available on a network. computer network interfaced with the lighting system.
L ' encliquetage de l'appareil dans la coque 1 consiste ainsi à présenter l'appareil incliné par rapport au fond 2, conformément à la flèche F sur la figure unique, de telle manière que son bord qui est équipé d'une prise jack femelle soit en vis-à-vis de la face 7. L'utilisateur rapproche ensuite le bord équipé de la prise femelle de la face 7 pour engager la prise mâle 12 dans la prise femelle de l'appareil, avant de rabattre l'appareil contre le fond 2 , pour que les languettes 4 et 5 viennent s ' encliqueter sur les deux coins correspondants de l'appareil .  The snap of the device in the shell 1 thus consists in presenting the inclined device relative to the bottom 2, according to the arrow F in the single figure, so that its edge which is equipped with a female jack the user then moves the edge equipped with the socket of the face 7 to engage the plug 12 in the socket of the device, before folding the device against the bottom 2, so that the tabs 4 and 5 are snapped on the two corresponding corners of the device.
La prise jack mâle 12 comporte ici quatre contacts permettant le transfert de signaux entre l'appareil mo- bile et les composants 9, 10 montés dans le bourrelet 3, à la fois dans le sens montant et dans le sens descendant. L'appareil peut ainsi échanger des données de manière bidirectionnelle avec un émetteur récepteur Li-Fi externe en communiquant avec celui-ci par 1 ' intermédiaire du capteur 9 et de la diode émettrice 10. The male jack 12 here comprises four contacts for the transfer of signals between the mobile device and the components 9, 10 mounted in the bead 3, both in the upstream direction and in the downward direction. The device can thus exchange data bidirectionally with a Li-Fi transceiver external by communicating with it via the sensor 9 and the emitter diode 10.
Complémentairement , la coque est avantageusement équipée d'un connecteur jack femelle supplémentaire, non visible dans l'exemple de la figure, destiné à recevoir un connecteur jack mâle d'une paire d'écouteurs intégrant éventuellement un microphone, pour permettre à 1 ' utilisateur de conj ointement bénéficier des services Li-Fi et d " une prise casque . Les composants électroniques internes à la coque sont à cet effet agencés pour discriminer les signaux Li-Fi et les signaux audio passant à travers la connexion jack reliant cette coque à 1 ' appareil mobile .  Complementarily, the shell is advantageously equipped with an additional female jack connector, not visible in the example of the figure, for receiving a male jack connector of a pair of headphones possibly incorporating a microphone, to allow the user The electronic components inside the hull are designed to discriminate Li-Fi signals and audio signals passing through the jack connection connecting this hull to 1. mobile device.
L ' invention est ainsi adaptée à une multitude d ' applications Li-Fi , comme par exemple la mise en œuvre d ' audio-video guides destinés à être confiés aux visiteurs d' un musée équipé d' un réseau d ' éclairage Li-Fi : la mise en œuvre de 1 ' audio-video guide consiste alors principalement à se procurer des tablettes mobiles et à les équiper de 11 accessoire selon 1 ' invention . The invention is thus adapted to a multitude of Li-Fi applications, such as the implementation of audio-video guides intended to be entrusted to the visitors of a museum equipped with a Li-Fi lighting network. : implementation of 1 audio-video guide then consists mainly to procure mobile tablets and equip 1 1 1 accessory according to the invention.
