Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact person search device for searching and identification of people ready to make contact and a control method for such a contact person search device.
  • Information about the wearer such as e.g. Name, telephone, age, profession, sent by the carrier to a person who is perceived as attractive by aiming at them with the device, and the data is sent at the push of a button. If the targeted person is also the bearer of a suitable device, this device receives the sent data and signals the reception to the targeted person. The recipient can then take action by targeting someone who they consider attractive, hoping that it is the sender. The contact is made either via transmitted telephone numbers or via immediate personal contact after the first successful data transfer.
  • Such devices have the disadvantage that they require constant vigilance by the user. The user must first select a person and then become active by using them Target person and send his data. Since it is generally the case that the targeted person is not the bearer of a corresponding device, numerous attempts are required until a first success is achieved.
  • a signal transmission system for short ranges which consists of at least two mobile transceivers with a limited range, each device continuously transmitting signals and being switched to receive signals.
  • the transmitted code signal contains in coded form an ordered pair of numbers, the first number of which corresponds to the properties of the person wearing the device and the second number of properties of a person sought.
  • an inverse signal i.e. of a pair of numbers in which the first and second numbers are interchanged, the carrier is informed that a suitable contact person is nearby.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a contact person search device and a control method for a contact person search device, the use of which only takes the user's attention when a contact is actually available, and with which the person who can be found provides recognized contact options.
  • the contact person device is achieved with a contact person search device according to claim 1.
  • Identification of persons ready to make contact is created, which has a signal generator for generating its own search signal E, a search signal transmitter connected to the signal generator, a receiver, a display device with a plurality of display elements and a control device.
  • the display elements of the display device can each be used to display the reception of an external search signal F with the receiver.
  • the control device is connected to the search signal transmitter, to the receiver and to the display device and is designed in such a way that it first activates a first operating state in which the search signal transmitter transmits a first own search signal E, then upon receiving an external search signal F in the first Operating state towards a first display element of the display device activated and activated a second operating state in which the search signal transmitter emits a second own search signal E, the second own search signal E compared to the first own Search signal E is changed with regard to phase, amplitude and / or frequency, and activated upon receipt of an external search signal F in the second operating state, a second display element of the display device.
  • the search signal transmitter is activated to send its own search signal, the initiative for establishing contact takes place at regular intervals without the user having to worry about it. He can deal with completely different things and at first forget his desire to contact. Only when an external search signal is received, that is to say that there is a possibility of contact because a corresponding person who is willing to make contact is nearby, is the user's attention woken up by displaying via the first display element of the display device.

  • Output amplitude of the signal sent on the transmitter At a distance from the transmitter, the locally available amplitude falls below a threshold value below which the signal no longer stands out from the background noise and can therefore no longer be received.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de recherche de personnes avec prise de contact, permettant de rechercher et d'identifier des personnes qui sont prêtes à prendre contact, et un procédé de commande d'un tel dispositif. Ce dispositif de recherche portable comporte un générateur de signaux (9), un émetteur de signaux de recherche (1), un récepteur (2), un dispositif d'affichage (4) comprenant un pluralité d'éléments d'affichage (41, 42, 43) permettant dans chaque cas d'afficher un signal de recherche externe (F) reçu avec le récepteur (2), et un dispositif de commande (3). Ce dernier est configuré de telle manière qu'il exécute le procédé de commande suivant: initialement un premier mode de fonctionnement est activé dans lequel l'émetteur de signaux de recherche (1) envoie son propre signal de recherche (E), un premier élément d'affichage (41) du dispositif d'affichage (4) est activé à la réception d'un signal de recherche externe (F) et un deuxième mode de fonctionnement est activé, après quoi l'émetteur de signaux de recherche (1) envoie son propre deuxième signal de recherche (E), ledit signal (E) étant modifié par rapport au premier signal de recherche (E) au niveau de la puissance, de la phase, de l'amplitude et/ou de la fréquence, et un deuxième élément d'affichage (42) du dispositif d'affichage (4) est activé à la réception d'un signal de recherche externe (F) dans le deuxième mode de fonctionnement.
