Definitions

  • the invention relates to a communication system comprising a network, terminals and a system server.
  • Such a communication system is generally known.
  • the invention proposes a communication system in which the system server comprises means for recording one or more identifiers which are specific for a closed group of terminal users formed from several members, as well as means for, under conditions which are specific for that group, connecting the terminals used by " the group members to one another, connecting the terminals used by the group members to the said system server or connecting these terminals to a further server.
  • the system server can detect whether a terminal is being used by a user belonging to a particular user group. Referring to the identifiers, the system server determines the group to which a terminal belongs and under which (group) conditions (technical or price conditions) a connection is being set up and maintained.
  • the said further server is understood to be a server outside the actual system server, which can be used for facilitating services that are not offered by the system server.
  • the system server and the further server are considered as complementary servers for facilitating the services offered by the communication system according to the invention .
  • the system server can further comprise means for recording identifiers which are specific for the various individual group members. On the basis of these user-specific or terminal-specific identifiers, the system server can, amongst other things, determine under which (technical) conditions the individual connections are set up and maintained and how the terminal output and terminal input is controlled.
  • the network may be a public network (GSM, UMTS) or a private network.
  • the system server or the said further server comprise means for offering facilities to the group members. These servers can for example comprise a database with information accessible to the group members.
  • the system server or the further server can also comprise conversion means for the conversion of - for example the ⁇ C ⁇ OJ ⁇ to to o o CJl o u ⁇ o cn o fD O o 0 OJ Hi 3" rt rt 0J ⁇ - ⁇ - CD > cn rt ⁇ - Hi ⁇ cn 3 CD ⁇ - " Hi ⁇ -3 o 3 o ⁇ ?
  • the system server 4 accordingly also comprises means for, subject to specific conditions applicable for the user group (lower charge, faster access), connecting the terminals used by the group members to one another, connecting the terminals used by the group members to the said system server, or connecting these terminals to a further server 5.
  • the servers 4 and 5 are assumed to be complementary in facilitating the user groups: the system server primarily facilitates the basic functions for group use, while the server 5 - which for example can be accessed via the Internet - can offer additional functions. The distinction between basic functions and additional functions is not, incidentally, important and can change in the course of time, as technology advances.
  • the system server further comprises means for recording identifiers which are specific for the various individual group members. On the basis of these terminal-specific identifiers, the system server 4 can detect for which type(s) of media or transmission the terminal is suitable: is it a "Multimedia laptop”, a "Palmtop”, a “Pager”, a "WAP- enabled GSM", etc.
  • the network 2 is formed by a public network, in this case represented by a public mobile telecommunications network 2a, a fixed telecommunications network 2b and the Internet 2c.
  • the terminals are - as shown in figure 2 - provided with an organ in the form of a "shortcut" press-button 8, specifically for setting up a connection with one or more of the terminals used by the group members.
  • a connection can be made with either one particular terminal (master terminal) or with all terminals (broadcast function) .
  • other press-buttons 9 and 10 can set up direct connections to particular terminals or (parts of) the servers 4 or 5.
  • the communication system is intended particularly for families and other smaller user groups.
  • the communication system can be used for synchronous, "real time” communication such as conventional telephony, and/or for asynchronous, "store & forward” forms of communication, such as e-mail (incl. "voice mail” etc.).
  • Messages can be shown on any (communication) device 3 with display; a family member's communication device, as well as, for example, a TV, PC or electronic bulletin board.
  • the recipient sees the message appear on the display in the desired form (text, voice, image, symbol, video or combination) , which can be adjusted by means of the transmission/presentation code.
  • the server 4 thus converts the received input (messages) into the desired output.
  • the recipient can choose by means of the transmission/presentation code whether he wishes to receive a notification whenever a new message arrives.
  • the server 4 can store messages in the database 6 in order for them to be viewed (again) later.
  • the servers 4 and 5 can also receive, store and route other information, such as a shopping list and messages received from outside the family (voicemail, e-mail) .
  • the concept is "familifiable", i.e. the concept can be adapted to suit the way in which the family wishes to keep in contact with one another.
  • parents can - via the settings of the transmission/presentation code - keep control over the use made of the system by the children, by setting limits to phone costs and the times at which the system can be used.
  • Features of the servers 4 or 5 1. For each message, the transmission time and the location of the transmitter can be shown to the recipient. In addition, the sender can, if desired, indicate whether the recipient is expected to reply within a particular period. 2. It is possible to pre-program a number of standard replies such as for example, "yes/no" or "OK” or "I've arrived", "how are you?", etc. A sound is defined for each standard reply so that the reply can be heard without it being voice (just like the sounds made by the PC) . 3. Household kitty: parents can raise children's calling credit.
  • each family member can set their reachability by setting the transmission/presentation code. This means that someone wishing to send a message can check the reachability state of the other person and, based on this knowledge, can decide whether to send a text or voice message.
  • An emergency signal sent by a child for example, will always reach the parent (s).
  • An archive stored in the database 6 or 7, is used for sorting messages and checking back (e.g. "What time was our appointment exactly?") . This could also serve for storing the shopping list, for example .
  • a household calendar stored in the database 6 or 7; this could show the activities of the family members. For example, on Monday Pieter has football at 18:00. The calendar can also be used to store a reminder of, for example, an imminent birthday.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de communication comprenant un réseau (2), des terminaux (3) et un serveur de système (4). Ce dernier comprend un dispositif destiné à enregistrer des identificateurs qui sont spécifiques à un groupe exclusif d'utilisateurs de terminaux (1), par exemple une famille, ainsi qu'un dispositif qui, dans des conditions applicables à ce groupe, relie les terminaux utilisés par les membres du groupe entre eux, au serveur de système ou à un autre serveur (5). Le serveur de système peut comporter un dispositif destiné à enregistrer, pour chaque terminal, au moins un code d'émission/de présentation spécifique au mode d'émission/de présentation dans lequel l'information reçue par le terminal en provenance d'autres terminaux ou serveurs doit être présentée à l'utilisateur. Les terminaux des utilisateurs appartenant au groupe exclusif comportent un organe (8, 9, 10) spécifiquement conçu pour établir une connexion vers au moins un terminal utilisé par les membres du groupe, vers le serveur de système ou vers l'autre serveur.
