- infrared light, ultrasound, sound or electromagnetic radio are used for physical signal transmission.
- Each device or system manufacturer or supplier usually has its own proprietary system. Both the physical signal transmission and the logical signal coding of the control instructions and the transmission protocols or control protocols are specific to the respective manufacturers and can only be applied to their own devices.
- Today's modern mobile radio telecommunication devices such as GSM cell phones, UMTS cell phones, GPRS cell phones, radio PDAs or similar mobile telecommunication devices usually have a command input device and a display device.
- they have an electronic or optoelectronic processor and a data memory.
- the processor and / or the data memory are supplied with data for execution and / or for learning at least one further or new function via an existing interface. These can be functions that are not yet known or have not yet been introduced at the time of production of the cell phone.
- the data can be supplied via a radio interface.
- An additional radio device or the main radio device of the cell phone can be used.
- the necessary operating system parts and / or function drivers can be loaded into the cell phone via these radio interfaces.
- These information packages can be obtained from the interfaces of the mobile phone from a computer or from a computer that can be connected to an information network connection, for example an Internet connection.
- the cell phones can be coupled directly to an information network connection, for example an Internet connection, via a cable modem or radio modem.
- the cell phones can have hardware interfaces to computers or servers, for example infrared ports or electromagnetic radio interfaces according to, for example, the Bluetooth or WLL standard, or a cable connection or a cable modem or a radio modem.
- Your special operating system would have to be able to access the necessary interface drivers and / or browser drivers, which would have to be fed into the data memory of the cell phone.
- the cell phones could therefore have special processors or additional co-processors, sufficiently large memories or additional memories, modems or hardware interfaces and additional operating system software and additional function driver software.
- the additional operating software should be able to perform the following tasks. It could ensure that the definition, configuration and operation of new additional functions of the cell phones can be carried out in the same way for all different cell phone models or cell phone types.
- the additional operating software would have to be able to include or include function drivers for the information network connection - browser drivers - and / or for the transmission of the necessary information from storage media - data reading / transmission protocols.
- the new desired functions could be obtained as follows. If a cell phone owner wishes to carry out a new function, he selects the command to load the new function using the corresponding command set available. The cell phone could then make contact with an offered storage medium, in which all information about the necessary functional gain is contained. This contact could be made to a selected storage medium or computer memory or via an information network to a server that has a storage area with such information.
- a user wishes to control his remotely controllable devices with his cell phone, he selects the function "remote control of devices" via the input field or via the voice input of the cell phone and adds the device identification of the device to be remotely controlled.
- This can be the device brand and Alternatively, he could also take advantage of the fact that it is possible to already manufacture such remote-controllable devices that can in turn independently contact or communicate with the mobile phone, for example at certain time intervals or after the request by means of the cell phone, send or display its type identification, for example via infrared signals or radio signals or its own audiovisual display, which the cell phone or the operator can record at random or after a specific request.
- the remote control information required for the mobile phone could already be stored in the remote-controllable device and the mobile phone could win by accessing this device memory.
- the cell phone could then contact the storage location accessible to it to search for and load the necessary information, for example the type of possible remote control technology such as ultrasound, infrared or radio control, the necessary driver software and any necessary operating system additions ,
- the cell phone could also make contact with an information network such as the Internet and obtain the necessary information there via a server.
- This server could, for example, be operated commercially by a service provider who offers or provides such information. However, the server could also be operated by a corresponding device manufacturer who operates this as a subordinate customer service.
- the server could also be a so-called “embedded” web server, that is to say an automatic small device server, which, for example, is already installed in such remote-controlled devices If necessary, procure a similar remote-controlled device that is already connected to the information network.
- the cell phone could configure itself as part of the execution of the function - in the present application example as a remote control - and imitate the desired or selected device remote control.
- the telecommunication device has independently learned the function of remote control.
- the following second application example serves to further explain the teaching according to the invention.
- network operators want to introduce new services or applications for the mobile telecommunication devices in order to improve and enlarge their commercial earnings platform.
- new services or applications cannot at least partially be carried out with the previous mobile telecommunication devices because, for example, the radio-technical requirements such as radio signal transmission rates, radio frequency frequency bandwidths, radio frequency positions or systemic requirements such as radio network management or radio frequency management are unchangeable and prevent this.
- new mobile telecommunication devices In order to enable certain new services and applications, new mobile telecommunication devices would have to be introduced or even completely new telecommunication network systems with the associated new possibly also mobile telecommunication devices would have to be purchased for operation. This expensive network rebuild is then opposed by the old network operation, since it ties up network customers and necessary investment funds over long periods.
- a current example of this problem is the upcoming introduction of the UMTS mobile radio system, which is to replace the previous GSM mobile radio system in order to enable new service offers or applications.
- the mobile telecommunication devices described here can also search for and recharge the necessary operating systems, operating system supplements and function drivers.
- the telecommunication devices according to the invention could be implemented as follows.
- the transmission and reception part is designed in such a way that it can carry out various transmission and reception processes in a universally programmable manner. So far, telecommunications devices have only been equipped with up to four fixed and non-changeable transmission and reception methods. To do this, it is sufficient if only intelligent programmable digital filters are used in the construction of the transmitting and receiving parts instead of resonance filters. In principle, any transmission and reception methods could then be achieved by programmable frequency synthesis and programmable control and programmable mixing or modulation of the oscillators generated in this way. A universally programmable transmitting and receiving part of the telecommunication device could thereby be realized.
- the transmitting and receiving part could then consist of the fully programmable universal hardware and the program-controlling operating software, which is searched for and loaded by the telecommunication device at any time or also on request of the operator to the relevant telecommunication devices, for example via an information network or directly.
- the telecommunication devices according to the invention could learn new transmission and reception methods.
- the cell phone could independently learn the transmission and reception process used in each telecommunications network. If a cell phone user wants to log into a new telecommunications network, for example, he could only specify the command "log into the network", which implicitly also includes the search and loading of the special transmission and reception method.
- the novel of the invention described here is that it provides a cell phone that for the first time can not only load data for a function that has already been implemented from a memory or from an information network - for example music tracks or video tracks. Rather, the cell phone first learns completely new functions or function programs and only then loads the further processing data such as music or image data from a memory or the information network in order to perform these functions.
- the specially described first exemplary embodiment means that manufacturers of remote-controlled devices can increasingly do without the development and production of their own remote controls, thereby reducing costs or reducing the price of devices to reach. Over time, consumers would have a high level of acceptance of such a wide variety of remotely controllable devices, since they could all be operated or controlled in the same way.
- the second exemplary embodiment described shows how the network operators could even adapt their network infrastructure to new applications by means of the invention.
- FIG. Shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of the present invention designed as a mobile telecommunications device.
- the telecommunication device has a processor 1 for data processing, a data memory 2 connected to the processor 1 and an interface 3 for feeding data into the processor 1 and / or into the data memory 2.
- the telecommunications device is suitable for performing at least one predefinable function.
- the processor 1 and / or the data memory 2 can be supplied with data for executing and / or learning at least one further or new function via the interface 3.
- the telecommunications device has a command input device 4 designed as a keyboard and a display device 5 designed as an LCD.
- the processor 1 is assigned a co-processor 6 which can be coupled to the processor 1 for communication with the processor 1.
- a connectable additional memory 7 is assigned to the data memory 2.
- the telecommunication device has a second interface 8 for receiving and / or sending information, which works with infrared light or ultrasound or sound or electromagnetic radio waves.
