Full Text Technical field
The present invention relates to a method, a system and a device for inputting
user instructions into a user-controllable telecommunication device, whereby a
RFIO transponder is brought into the sphere of scope of an RFID transceiver,
and whereby RFID identification data are transmitted from the RFID transponder
to the RFID transceiver.
State of the art
In recent years, the number of users of telecommunication devices
has increased rapidly. By now, many persons are in possession of a multitude
of different telecommunication devices, such as, for example, landline terminals
at home or in the office, which are connected via a landline network or via a
mobile radio terminal, usable via a mobile radio network. Telecommunication
devices are controllable by means of user instructions selected by the user. A
user instruction for controlling a telecommunication device creates, for example,
a user-specific configuration of a telecommunication terminal and/or of a central
processing unit of a telecommunication network. A user of a landline telephone
can, by inputting a user instruction, for example control a central processing unit
of a telecommunication network in such a way that calls to this landiine telephone
are forwarded to a mobile radio terminal of the user. The user can, for
example when leaving the workplace, enter this user instruction into the landline
business telephone installed at the workplace, and then remain available on the
mobile radio telephone for calls to the business number. A user instruction can
however also be applied to the deactivation of a first SIM (Subscriber Identity
Module) card of a first mobile radio terminal and the subsequent activation of a
second SIM card of a second mobile radio terminal, or to the activation of that
SIM card, which has been set aside for incoming calls. A user in possession of
a first mobile radio terminal with features which are especially suitable for business
use, and a second mobile radio device with features especially suited to
leisure time activities, can, by inputting a user instruction for controlling a telecommunication
device, such as, for example, a Home Location Register m this
case, initiate the activation of his preferred mobile radio device. The state of the
art inputting of user instructions is done via the keyboard of a telecommunication
terminal by pressing a combination or sequence of keys. In doing so, the
user can be suitably assisted, for example, by means of a display attached to
the telecommunication device, as well as by a menu-based indication and a
selection of user instructions. Often the inputting of a user instruction is based
on the control method of a telecommunication device which is always the same.
A user who, for example, activates the call forwarding feature when leaving the
office, and deactivates it again in the morning when entering the office, will
therefore execute the same combination and/or sequence or keys every day.
Hereby it is often necessary to observe the indications of a menu-based display
device.
A method is known, for example, from the patent specification US
6,446,127 Bi, in which a user of a Personal Information Device (PID) can transmit
data to a central processing unit of a telephone network, whereby a call forwarding
feature is activated or deactivated due to this data, whereby the PID is
programmable to initiate an activation or deactivation at a particular time of day
or according to a calendar that has been entered. A disadvantage of this procedure
is that the user must manage the time of entering a user instruction by
means of inputting corresponding time data into the PID, where even minor
changes in the behavior of the user in comparison with the time schedule stored
in the PID, require adjustments to be made. A further disadvantage of this procedure
is that the user must continue to execute various user instructions using
a menu-based input device.
In the patent application US 2004/0002305, a system for executing
applications on a mobile terminal is described. Transponders with assigned information
are brought to locations accessible to users. A transponder is activated
by means of a wireless signal of the mobile terminal. Information is transmitted
from the transponder to the mobile terminal, whereby an application is
initiated on the mobile terminal.
The patent application EP 0 762 715 describes a call forwarding system.
A user possesses a smart card, which can be installed in an RF jacket. A
smart card reader and a RF transceiver have been assigned to the telephone. A
confirmation signal of the RF jacket is verified by means of a request signal
through the RF transceiver, and a call forwarding feature to the assigned telephone
device is activated, as long as the confirmation signal can be verified.
In the patent application JP 54161807, a system for automatically
changing the functions of a telephone or switchboard is described. The user
carries a transmitter for transmitting electro-magnetic or ultra-sound waves. A
receiver informs the switchboard that the user is in the vicinity of a telephone
set. After this, incoming/outgoing (calls) relating to the user are controlled by
means of a controller or the switchboard.
In recent years, the state of the art technology of so-called RFID
(Radio Frequency Identification) technology has continued to develop. RFID
technology in essence entails an RFID transceiver for acquiring RFID data of a
RFID transponder (TRANSmit/resPOND). RFID transponders are also known in
state of the art technology as RFID tags. RFID data may encompass just one
bit, for example, for monitoring theft at the exit of a department store. For this
type of theft control, RFID transponders are attached to the articles to be monitored.
At the exit of the store, as RFfD transponders are removed from the article
or deactivated after the required payment has been made, an RFID transceiver
checks to see whether such an RFID transponder can be detected. RFID
data can however amount to several hundred kBytes, for example for the
documentation of the manufacturing stages and test results of an industrial work
piece. Such documentation, for example, has the advantage that manufacturing
steps can be optimally adapted to preceding manufacturing steps. RFID transponders
can on the one hand be designed in such a way that RFID data can
only be read out. On the other hand, RFID transponders can also be designed
in such a way that RFID data can be read out of RFID transponders as well as
being written into them. The operating principle of the RFID technology relies on
the capacitative or inductive coupling and decoupling of electro-magnetic
waves, whereby the distance between the RFID transponder and the RFID
transceiver may amount to only a few centimeters, or, for example, up to thirty
meters. Active RFID transponders are equipped with an own energy source, for
example a battery, Passive RFID transponders do not possess an own energy
source. When using a passive RFID transponder, energy for activating the electronics
of the RFID transponder can, for example, be inductively coupled and for
example be tised for charging a condenser. As soon as this condenser possesses
enough energy, the control electronics of the RFID transponder can, for
example, initiate the decoupling of RFID data. The decoupling takes place by,
for example, emitting suitably modulated electro-magnetic waves.
Disclosure of the invention
it is an object of the present invention to suggest a new method and
a new system for inputting user instructions, which do not have the disadvantages
of the state-of-the-art technology.
According to the present invention, these objects are achieved in particular
by the elements of the independent claims. In addition, further advantageous
embodiments emerge from the dependent claims and the description.
These objects are in particular achieved by the invention in that an
RFID transponder is brought into the sphere of scope of an RFID transceiver for
inputting user instructions of a user-controllable telecommunication device,
whereby RFID identification data of the RFID transponder are transmitted to the
RFID transceiver. The RFID identification data and/or an RFID transceiver identification
are transmitted from the RFID transceiver to a collection module,
whereby an assigned user instruction is selected by means of the collection
module as well as by means of tables containing RFID identification data accessible
to the collection module and/or tables containing RFID transceiver
identifications, and whereby the user-controllable telecommunication device is
controlled according to the user instruction that has been selected. Such a procedure
has the particular advantage that the user can quickly and easily initiate
a user instruction. As RFID transponders can be manufactured very cheaply
and very small, the user may for example take along several RFID transponders
and initiate the required user instruction by bringing the corresponding RFID
transponder into the sphere of scope of the RFID transceiver.
According to the invention, RFID identification data as well as the
RFID transceiver identification are transmitted to a collection module, connectable
to the telecommunication network, by means of a connection module, connectable
to the RFID transceiver and a telecommunication network via the telecommunication
network. Such a method has the particular advantage that an
existing telecommunication network can easily be completed by means of the
devices required for executing the procedures according to the present inven
tion. The method according to the invention also has the advantage that inputting
a user instruction is very simple. The method is particularly suited to older
persons and/or those with visual impairments and/or persons with motoric (multiple
sclerosis) or similar disorder (Alzheimer's). These persons are unable to
input complex user instructions into a terminal, but are still able to make an
RFID transponder interact with an RFID transceiver by means of correspondingly
more expansive movements.
In one embodiment, RFID identification data as well as the RFID
transceiver identification are transmitted to a collection module integrable to the
user-controllable telecommunication device. Such a method has the particular
advantage that the collection module may for example be designed as a software
module, so that existing telecommunication devices can easily be completed
with the devices required for executing the methods according to the
present invention.
In another embodiment, the user instruction relates to the activation
or deactivation of a call forwarding feature for calls intended for a first telecommunication
device to a second telecommunication device. Such a method has
the advantage that a user can very easily activate the user instruction initiating
the call forwarding, for example by means of any suitable connection module.
In another embodiment, the user instruction relates to the selection of
a user profile of a telecommunication terminal. Such a method has the advantage
that a user can easily load a personal user profile into a telecommunication
terminal. In a first phase, the user profile and permitted user instructions can, for
example, be managed via the Internet, for example by means of a PC. In a subsequent
phase, the corresponding user instructions can be activated by means
of an RFID transponder according to the method of the invention. In the user
profile, information concerning languages, gender, location etc. of the user,
which may, for example, be used as a filter for particular services.
In another embodiment, the user instruction relates to the initiation of
a payment in a payment transaction procedure. Such a method has the advantage
that a user can very easily initiate a payment. In this way for example data
content that can be purchased that can be played back via a telecommunication
network as an object (MP3 file) or as a data stream (TV broadcast).
In another embodiment, the user instruction relates to the deactivation
of a first SIM module of a first mobile radio terminal and the activation of a
second SIM module of a second mobile radio terminal. Such a method has the
advantage that a user can switch very easily between the two mobile radio terminals.
In another embodiment, the user-controllable telecommunication device
relates to the switchboard of a landline network or to a Home Location
Register of a mobile radio network or to a Visiting Location Register or to any
other similar register of a mobile radio network. Such a method has the advantage
that changes to such a register can be done from any suitable location.
In another embodiment, the telecommunication network relates to a
mobile radio network and/or a landline network and/or an Internet-based network
and/or a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and/or a Power Line
Communication (PLC) network and/or a cable-based network. Such a method
has the advantage that a high degree of interoperability between the various
telecommunication networks is ensured. Parameters, for example user-related
parameters for the user of a mobile radio network, can, for example, be modified
via a PLC network, in fact, independently of the transmission quality of the
mobile radio network or even in the absence of the coverage of a location by
the mobile radio network or in the absence of a roaming agreement.
In another embodiment, the RFID transceiver is attached to a telecommunication
terminal, whereby the RFID identification data and the RFiD
transceiver identification together with data of the telecommunication terminal
are transmitted to the collection module, and whereby the collection module
selects an assigned user instruction by means of corresponding tables containing
RFID identification data and RFID transceiver identifications as well as a
corresponding table of telecommunication terminals data. Such a method has
the advantage of increasing security during the inputting of a user instruction.
At this point it should be stressed that the present invention, in addition
to the method to which this invention relates, also relates to a system for
executing this procedure.
Brief description of the drawing
The different embodiments of the present invention are described below
with the aid of examples; the examples of the embodiments are illustrated
by the following attached figure:
Figure 1 shows a block diagram, which schematically illustrates a
method and a system for inputting user instructions, whereby an RFID transponder
12 is, for example, brought into the sphere of scope of an RFID transceiver
9.
Embodiment(s) of the invention
in Figure 1 the reference number 1 relates to a telecommunication
network. The telecommunication network 1 can be any network for creating
communication links between network devices, for example a PSTN (Public
Switched Telephone Network) network, a mobile radio network, for example a
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) network, a UMTS (Universal
Mobile Telecommunication Service) network or any other mobile radio network,
an Internet-based network such as a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) or a
Power Line Communication (PLC) network or a cable-based network (Cable
TV) or any other telecommunication network for linking remote network devices.
The telecommunication network 1 can also include several different networks,
which can be linked via a suitable network connection module. The telecommunication
network 1 can, for example, include a PSTN network and a mobile radio
network as well as a suitable network connection module, so that network
devices of the mobile radio network are connectable with network devices of the
PSTN network
In Figure 1 the reference number 2 relates to a collection module according
to the invention. The collection module 2 includes devices for storing
RFID identification data and identifications of RFID transceivers as well as devices
for selecting user instructions, as well as for controlling a user-controllable
telecommunication device according to the selected user instruction. The collection
module 2 is preferably designed as a programmed software module to run
on a suitable computer. The person skilled in the art will know that the collection
module will also be partly or wholly designed as hardware. The person skilled in
the art will also understand that the collection module 2 can also be made up of
separated devices, whereby these separated devices, such as, for example, a
device for storing atable and a device for selecting a user instruction, can be
suitably be linked, fof example, via the telecommunication network 1. A collection
module 2 can for example be connected to various user-controllable telecommunication
devices 3 at the same time and thereby be operated from an
independent operator.
In Figure 1 the reference number 3 relates to a user-controllable
telecommunication device. The user-controllable telecommunication device 3 is
for example a central processing unit of a landlme network or a Home Location
Register of a mobile radio network or a Visiting Location Register or any similar
register of a mobile radio network or any other user-controllable telecommunication
device. The collection module 2 can be connected to the user-controlled
telecommunication device 3 via any suitable connection, for example via an
Ethernet cable or via a private network or via the telecommunication network 1
or via any other suitable connection, whereby the user-controlled telecommunication
device 3 is controllable by the collection module 2 via the said connection.
The user-controllable telecommunication device is further connectable to
the telecommunication network 1, whereby services and functions of the usercontrollable
telecommunication device 3, such as, for example, a call forwarding
service or an SIM card localizing service, can be offered in addition to the said
connection to the telecommunication network 1 as well as in addition to devices
connectable to this telecommunication network 1.
In Figure 1 the reference number 4 relates to a mobile radio terminal,
for example to a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) mobile radio
terminal, connectable to the telecommunication network 1 via a mobile radio
connection 5, to a UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service) mobile
radio terminal or to any other mobile radio terminal connectable to the telecommunication
network 1. The reference numbers 6, 7, and 8 relate to several landline
terminals, connectable via a landline connection, for example to an analog
landline telephone, an ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) landiine telephone,
a VoIP (Voice over IP) telephone or to any other landline terminal connectable
to the telecommunication network 1. Further terminals could for example
be TV equipment, radio receivers or Retinal Scanning Displays (RSD),
which are connected to a telecommunication network and which, for example,
do not possess keyboards or similar input devices. Thereby, for example, the
choice of a film language can be entered by means of the method according to
the invention and a corresponding RFID transponder.
In Figure 1, the reference numbers 9 and 10 relate to two typical configurations
of RFID transceivers. As an example, the RFID transceiver 9 is connectable
to the telecommunication network 1 via a connection module 11. In
addition, the RFID transceiver 10 has, for example, been attached to the landline
terminal 8. In order to execute the method according to the invention, any
suitable arrangement can be selected for an RFID transceiver, whereby RFID
identification data and an RFID transceiver identification can be transmitted to
the collection module 2 via any connection. This way an RFID transceiver can
for example be connected to a cable network socket for transmitting TV signals
and for transmitting Internet data packages, whereby RFID identification data
and an identification of an RFID transceiver can for example be transmitted via
a suitable Internet connection to the collection module 2, In addition an RFID
transceiver can be connected to a mains socket, whereby RFID identification
data and an RFID transceiver identification can be transmitted via a power line
based Internet connection to the collection module 2.
In Figure 1 the reference number 12 relates to an RFID transponder.
The RFID transponder 12 can, for example, be installed in a plastic card, for
example in credit card format, whereby a user can easily carry several such
plastic cards, each with a different RFID transponder, and whereby each of
these plastic cards can be designed in a suitable color or with a suitable inscription
for easy identification by the user. An RFID transponder 12 can however
also be attached to an article of daily use of the user, such as a watch, a key
ring, a mobile radio device or to a personalized ballpoint pen. An RFID transponder
12 is basically suitable to be used with all telecommunication networks.
The manufacturers of the RFID transponder 12 can, for example,
program or store the operators of the telecommunication network 1, for example
the mobile radio network operators, the RFID identification data or codes into
the RFID transponders 12.
, In an embodiment, the RFID transponder 12 is programmed with
RFID identification data or an unambiguous code, to which an identity, for example
the MSISDN or IMSI number of a mobile radio network user, can be assigned.
In another embodiment, several RFID transponders 12 are programmed
with the same RFID identification data or the same code. This way, for example,
user-specific, device-specific or universally valid user instructions can be created.
The agent of data content could also release RFID transponders 12
for the payment for the data content to be transmitted. In case of a payment by
means of the RFID transponder 12, the corresponding amount can be charged
to an account linked to the RFID transponder 12. This account could for example
be a prepaid, debit or postpaid account.
For inputting a user instruction, a user will select the desired RFID
transponder 12 and bring it into the sphere of scope of a desired RFID transceiver
9,10. As soon as the corresponding RFID transceiver 9,10 detects the
RFID transponder 12, the RFID transceiver 9,10 transmits RFID identification
data of the RFID transponder and an RFID transceiver identification to the collection
module 2 via a connection between the RFID transponder and the collection
module 2. The collection module then evaluates the RFID identification
data and the RFID transceiver identification and selects a user instruction according
to the tables containing RFID identification data and the RFID transceiver
identification. The following table shows such a selection of a user instruction
for the example of a call forwarding configuration:

The solution according to the invention provides a large number of
solutions in a variety of applications. An RFID transceiver can, for example, be
incorporated in a plug which is insertable into a mains socket. In addition to the
RFID transceiver the plug includes, for example, a connection module 11 for
connecting the RFID transceiver with a collection module 2, as well as, for example,
electronic keys and/or certificates for securing a data connection between
the connection module 11 and the collection module 2 as described below.
The connection module 11 can for example include an Internet protocol
interface as well as an interface for transmitting Ethernet data packages via the
mains cable, A secure Internet protocol-based connection between the connection
module 11 and the collection module 2 can, for example, be established via
an ADSL modem, also equipped with a mains socket and an interface for
transmitting Ethernet data packages via the mains cable as well as via a corresponding
Internet protocol interface of the collection module 2 as well as corresponding
keys and/or certificates of the collection modules 2. The plug with the
RFID transceiver can be placed at a suitable location, for example at the entrance
to an office. The user of the office can now equip one of his personal articles
of daily use, for example his watch, with an RF(D transponder, whereby
RFID identification data and an RFID transceiver identification are transmitted to
the collection module 2 by means of the connection module 11, as soon as the
user is within the sphere of scope of the RFID transceiver. According to the
invention, this way the user-controllable telecommunication device 3 is
controlled according to a user instruction assigned to the RFID identification
data and the RFID transceiver identification. The sphere of scope of the RFID
transceiver can, for example, be designed in such a way that it covers the entire
office space of the user's office and the user instruction can for example include
the deactivation of call forwarding to the telephone number of a landline
telephone installed in the user's office. The connection module 11 can for
example include means for instructing the RFID transceiver to test the RFID
identification data of the RFID transponder at a particular time, whereby the
connection module 11 will, after a successful test, again transmit the RFID
identification data as well as the RFID transceiver identification to the collection
module 2. The collection module 2 can, for example, include a validation
module, whereby, for example, the validity duration of a user instruction and a
second user instruction are set by the validation module, which second user
instruction is used for controlling the user-controllable telecommunication device
3 after the expiration of the validity period of the user instruction.
In a further example of a possible application of the method according
to the invention, the user-controllable telecommunication device 3 relates to
the in-house switchboard of a business. The collection module 2 is, for example,
installed in this internal switchboard and RFID transceivers are, for example,
installed on the telephone devices operated by the internal switchboard. As
soon as, for example, a user places a plastic card with an RFID transponder
inside the sphere of scope of an RFID transceiver, RFID identification data and
an RFID transceiver identification are transmitted to the collection module 2 by
means of a connection module 11, whereby the collection module controls the
internal switchboard with an appropriate user instruction in such a way that a
user profile assigned to the RFID transponder is, for example, loaded onto the
corresponding telephone device by the internal switchboard. By means of additional
plastic cards with RFID transponders, the user can, for example, also decide
that he does not want to be disturbed for the moment, and calls are, for
example, answered by the internal switchboard with an automatic message or
forwarded to a definable call forwarding number.
In a further example of a possible application of the method according
to the invention, the user-controllable telecommunication device relates to a
central processing unit of a payment transaction process. An RFID transceiver
is for example installed at the cash desk of a store. A client of the store can, for
example, bring an RFID transponder into the sphere of scope of the RFID transceiver
to pay for purchases, whereby RFID identification data and an RFID
transceiver identification are transmitted to a collection module 2. The collection
module 2 thereby obtains sufficient Information for controlling the central processing
unit of the payment transaction procedure by means of a user instruction
in such a way that an appropriate payment transaction can be initiated. In order
to secure this method, an input unit, linked to the cash register or to an RFID
transceiver can be attached to the cash register for entering a personal secret,
whereby this personal secret can be transmitted to the collection module 2 for
verification.
In a further example of a possible application of the method according
to the invention, the RFID transceiver relates to a portable device, which is,
for example, connectable to a WLAN hotspot of a telecommunication network
via a wireless interface by means of a connection module 11. The RFID transponder
12 further relates to small modules that can be installed in the housing
of the RFID transceiver. The housing of the RFID transceiver and the RFID
transponders are designed in such a way that pushing one of the RFID transponders
into the housing of the RFID transceiver initiates the corresponding
user instruction. This has the advantage that the whole device is a single, mobile
and portable unit and that the RFID transponders can not get lost.
