Definitions
- the invention relates to a system with an electronic device, in particular a mobile radio device, with a display field, an input keyboard consisting of keys arranged close to the display field, with a programmable input function shown on the display field and a connectable additional unit.
- Electronic devices with a display field for alphanumeric and / or graphic representations and an input keyboard are well known.
- the programmable keys on the input keyboard are referred to as softkeys because they do not have a predefined input function, but instead can be variably programmed using software.
- the current function of a programmed key which changes depending on the operating situation of the device, is controlled by the microprocessor of the electronic device and displayed in the display field. For this purpose, it is known to create an assignment in the case of several softkeys in such a way that the softkeys correspond to the menu windows in their geometric arrangement (DE 39 42 311 AI).
- the programmability of the key functions allows a multi-function assignment of the keys and thus a saving in space and material, which is particularly important in the case of mobile devices, such as mobile radio devices.
- telematics services within telecommunication services
- a simple, safe and fast selection of functions is becoming more and more important.
- One field of application are, for example, vehicle communication systems that enable the sending of a short message in connection with a position indication via a satellite network (Global Positioning System) and the subsequent establishment of a call connection to a service provider.
- satellite network Global Positioning System
- buttons that are permanently assigned to the functions and are located either in an external keyboard unit or in the mobile radio holder of a hands-free device, which are connected to the mobile radio device via an interface.
- buttons are arranged directly in the mobile device due to the effort involved.
- US Pat. No. 5,610,971 a mobile radio device with front and rear display and buttons is known, the rear set being activated by means of a magnetic contact only when the mobile radio device is in the holding shell of a hands-free device.
- the invention is based on the object of combining the advantages of a fixed key assignment with those of a flexible function assignment, in addition for vehicle communication systems in particular there being a desire to limit the operation to a keyboard environment and not to divide it up into a mobile radio device and an additional module.
- the invention contributes significantly to increasing the flexibility of a generic system. It becomes possible to assign the most diverse tasks to one and the same device, that is to say, for example, to a mobile radio device in connection with the software and hardware of an additional unit, with all the necessary changes being made automatically by the software of the additional device.
- the user is informed of the new working mode by a corresponding menu on the display field.
- the current functions of the softkeys appear in the menu field - advantageously directly above each key.
- the softkeys themselves therefore have no special labeling. Functions are already assigned to the softkeys in the autonomous operation of the electronic device. However, there may also be additional softkeys that only work in conjunction with an additional unit, however it is designed.
- a microprocessor is located in the additional unit, which controls the function assignment of the softkeys and, if necessary, also the function triggered when a softkey is pressed.
- the additional unit consists of only one chip.
- an additional unit is particularly suitable for the use of telematics services that fold to increase.
- a traffic telematics additional unit will be located in motor vehicles, and it can be switched to function-ready at the same time with the use of a hands-free device and a satellite navigation receiver GPS.
- the provided softkeys of the mobile radio device are then assigned, for example, the functions emergency call, breakdown call and traffic information. This is evident to the user in that, depending on the position of the softkeys in relation to the display field, that is to say, for example directly above the softkeys, the functions “SOS *,“ SERV and “INFO * are displayed. When using a color display, the “SOS *” function is advantageously shown in red. At least one other softkey remains in reserve for a new telematics service. This means that when a new service is introduced, there is no need to purchase a new mobile device.
- a softkey can also be assigned two or more less important functions. It is useful if each function that can be selected is displayed in succession for a few seconds and the function currently displayed comes into effect by pressing the softkey.
- the softkeys are automatically re-programmed for their use and the new functions are shown in the display field of the electronic device accordingly.
- buttons in the keypad which not only reduces costs and makes the electronic device smaller overall, but also makes the external appearance of the device clearer and more pleasant. It is particularly important for ease of use in motor vehicles that only the mobile radio device is to be operated, that is to say only one keypad and not other keys in fixed installations elsewhere, and that the user does not have to "wiggle * through a menu to select a desired function. He is also spared the need to program his electronic device accordingly before using an additional unit. Another advantage is that the function of the softkeys is always shown in their immediate vicinity and that a key does not have to be pressed anywhere within arm's reach and the function appears far from it on the display.
- a further safety-related advantage of the invention is that, in operation with an additional unit, only the connected additional unit is ever accessed, thereby avoiding erroneous operation and attempting to correct the incorrect operation, in particular while driving in the motor vehicle.
- connection of the mobile radio device and the additional unit is advantageous not only for the development of traffic telematics functions, but also in other areas. This can simplify the execution and operation of human-machine systems in production or in the home, making banking easier or integrating simple games.
- a game add-on unit can be connected to a traffic telematics unit in the manner of a bus, the softkeys being able to be used as control buttons when a game is desired, the function of which is displayed directly on the respective button.
- the relevant softkey for this function is marked with a fault message in the display field. For example, if a traffic telematics unit is connected to a mobile radio device, a GPS radio interference (tunneling) can be displayed. It can further be provided that the additional unit saves the operation of a softkey during the malfunction and, after the malfunction has ended, the ⁇ ⁇ ISJ M h- 1 H 1 ⁇ o ⁇ o tn O ⁇ _n

- the additional unit ZE of the system controls the assignment of the softkeys SK and accordingly changes an action that takes place after pressing a softkey SK, but it does not change the mechanical or electrical function of these keys or the direct evaluation. This takes place in the microprocessor of the electronic device MS, for example in the mobile radio device.
- the invention opens up two control options:
- the microprocessor of an additional unit ZE only changes the assignment of the softkeys SK, but does not itself react to the keystroke on the electronic device MS, but only the electronic device MS.
- a car installation kit is connected to a mobile radio device MS as an additional unit ZE and a softkey SK enables the volume in the vehicle to be adjusted.
- the microprocessor of the car kit is not affected by this. Only the signal from the mobile device MS becomes louder, controlled by the mobile device MS itself.
- the microprocessor of an additional unit ZE both changes the assignment of the softkeys SK and additionally reacts to the actuation of a key of the electronic device MS by a special action or by controlling a function of the electronic device MS.
- the actuation of the softkey SK is recognized by the microprocessor of the mobile radio device MS and the microprocessor in the car installation kit communicated or queried by this. The subsequent action is then initiated and controlled by the microprocessor of the car kit.
- softkeys SK themselves display their current function assignment. This can be achieved, for example, using LCD technology or organically based technology.
