Definitions
- the present invention relates to a battery pack, including a replaceable battery pack for cellular phones.
- the present invention relates to a battery pack with additional communication options.
- Mobile phones are mainly used for data communication and additional services (VAS, Value Added Services).
- VAS Value Added Services
- programs and data are stored in memory areas of the telephone and / or an identification card inserted in the telephone.
- cell phones usually only have very small buttons and controls, so that only very short entries can be made with these buttons, which greatly limits the possible uses of cell phones.
- Mobile phones were therefore offered which, in addition to the mobile radio part, have a contactless interface, for example an inductive or an infrared interface, via which they can communicate with external devices, for example with computers, palmtops or POS (point-of-sale) who have better input means.
- a contactless interface for example an inductive or an infrared interface
- external devices for example with computers, palmtops or POS (point-of-sale) who have better input means.
- POS point-of-sale
- the contactless interface is mounted on a removable and commercially available part of the mobile device, it is possible for the user to simply replace the battery pack with another in order to be able to communicate with various external devices in accordance with various different protocols.
- the radio interface preferably consists of a known RFID element (Radio Frequency Identification), which consists for example of an antenna, for example a coil, and a communication controller.
- RFID element Radio Frequency Identification
- the mobile phone can communicate with external devices, for example with devices in the same room, in both directions.
- the radio interface consists of a GPS
- the radio interface consists of a radio clock signal receiver with which the time can be determined.
- the battery pack can communicate with the mobile phone via additional contacts. In one variant, it can communicate with the mobile phone by modulating the supply voltage. In another variant, he can communicate with the mobile phone via a further contactless interface.
- Figure 1 is a schematic and perspective view of a mobile phone with a battery pack according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 2 is a schematic view of the inventive
- FIG. 1 shows a mobile radio telephone 3, for example a GSM or UMTS digital mobile radio telephone, which can be used in a digital mobile radio network 4.
- the mobile radio telephone contains conventional components (not shown) such as radio part, display, microphone and loudspeaker, operating elements, antenna, infrared interface etc., and a preferably removable identification module 30 with data processing means, for example a SIM card (Subscriber Identification Module).
- SIM card Subscriber Identification Module
- the mobile phone 3 is powered by a replaceable battery pack
- a Li-ion battery which is mounted in a housing and which feeds the mobile phone through power contacts 22 and 31, respectively.
- Known fasteners such as snap-in or Spring-loaded fasteners allow the user to replace and replace the battery pack without much effort.
- the battery pack 2 has a radio interface which allows direct communication with an external device 1.
- the interface comprises an integrated circuit (communication controller) 21 and an antenna 20, which in this example consists of a coil.
- the interface in this variant therefore consists of an element named with the acronym RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), which allows connections via electromagnetic waves to external devices of up to several meters.
- RFID Radio Frequency Identification
- RFID components are already known per se and work according to two different basic principles.
- the first type of RFID elements uses magnetic fields and a frequency up to a few GHz, for example 13.56 MHz.
- the antenna consists of a coil in these elements, and the maximum range is typically 4 meters.
- Other RFID components use electrical fields that allow a longer range, but are usually more expensive. With radio interface and RFID, these two types of RFID elements are included in the scope of this application.
- RFIDs are used for a variety of different applications, including access control (personal access), ski lifts, credit cards and money transactions, user identification in a network, etc. Accordingly, a variety of different frequencies and not always standardized transmission protocols are used for these applications. According to the invention, the user can simply replace the battery pack of his mobile phone in order to communicate with external devices via various protocols. New battery packs can be purchased when new communication standards are established or new needs arise; however, it is not necessary to replace the entire mobile phone. Battery packs that can each communicate via different protocols and frequencies can also be offered within the scope of this invention, so that users do not have to purchase too large a number of battery packs. For this purpose, such multi-function and multi-protocol battery packs can be provided with a multiplicity of antennas / coils 20 and / or with a multiplicity of controllers 21.
- the communication controller can execute 21 different programs.
- the communication controller preferably has an interpreter, for example a JAVA interpreter with JINI capabilities, in order to execute instructions in received messages in an object-oriented language.
- Identification is one possible application of RFID elements. External readers 1 send a query a, on which the controller 21 with its own identification, which is in a
- Memory area of the controller 21 is saved, replies.
- the reader 1 thus knows which device 2 he is communicating with and can carry out various activities accordingly, for example opening a door, allowing access to a computer or a network, registering the presence of the user, etc.
- More complex processes allow, for example, the transmission of electronic money between a storage area of the controller 21 and the external device 1.
- Such processes are preferably electronically secured in a protected form, for example encrypted, signed with an electronic signature and / or authenticated.
- the battery pack 2 can have a chip card reader in which, for example, an identification card can be stored.
- This card permits reliable identification of the user, which can also be independent of the identification in module 30.
- more complex processes can be implemented if the communication controller 21 can communicate with the mobile telephone 3 and the identification module 30.
- data for example user identification, biometric parameters of the user, programs, applets, electronic monetary amounts, etc., can be transmitted in both directions between the data processing means 21 in the battery pack 2 and the identification module 30.
- the external device 1 can also communicate with the processor in the identification module 30 and access this data.
- Mobile phones 3 can then be used to display data, text and images from the external device, while the external device can be controlled using the keys and input means of the mobile phone.
- the mobile phone even communicate with devices in the digital mobile radio network 4 and send and receive data as SMS (Short Message System), USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data), e-mails and / or in the user channel, for example.
- the mobile phone serves as a relay between the external device 1 and the mobile radio network 4;
- data can be converted in the mobile telephone 3, for example in the identification module 30, or transmitted in transparent mode.
- new contacts are provided, which are intended for this communication between the communication controller 21 and the mobile telephone 3.
- this communication takes place by modulating the supply voltage transmitted via the named supply contacts, a modulation element having to be provided in the battery pack 2 and in the mobile radio telephone 3.
- this communication takes place via an additional one Contactless interface in the battery pack 2 and in the identification module 30, for example via two coils lying one above the other.
- the radio interface 20, 21 can be powered by the external device 1 or by the battery cells in the battery pack 2, preferably also when the mobile phone is switched off.
- the communication controller 21 can be activated by the external device 1, so that the mobile telephone remains in a standby mode, unless a signal from an external device 1 is received.
- the external device 1 can also wake the mobile phone from the stand-by state.
- the mobile phone or messages received from the mobile phone can also wake up the controller 21.
- radio interfaces can be installed in the battery pack.
- GPS global positioning system
- radio digital audio broadcasting
- radio clock signal receivers can also be offered in the battery pack.
- the received data for example location information, time information or digital data accompanying the program, can then be transmitted from the DAB radio program, the mobile telephone 3 or the identification module 30 and processed, reproduced or stored there via the interface mentioned.
- the duration and the time of processes and connections in the mobile device can be precisely determined and these processes and connections can be determined in this way.
- Battery sets with radio interfaces that have a high transfer rate and compatibility with various devices can also be offered.
- battery sets with a radio interface according to the Bluetooth standard can also be offered.
- An authentication process with a digital signature generated from a personal electronic certificate can preferably be used between the battery pack and the mobile phone. Thanks to this process, it can be ensured, among other things, that the battery pack belongs to the owner of the identification module 30, so that the user of the mobile device can be reliably identified in the mobile radio network 4 using the electronic certificate stored in the battery pack 2.
- the identity of the user for example his identity in the mobile network 4, as well as other useful data and parameters are automatically copied into a suitable memory area of the battery pack when the mobile device is switched on.
- Suitable mechanical or electromechanical means are provided to check whether the battery pack is disconnected from the mobile phone.
- the copy of the data and parameters in the battery pack can then be used for communication with an external device 1, as long as the battery pack 2 is not separated from the mobile phone 3.
- These parameters can preferably also be used when the mobile phone is switched off. If this data can be changed during communication with an external device 1, for example in the case of amounts of money, a suitable synchronization mechanism must be provided so that the data in the battery pack 2 match the data in the module 30.
