Abstract

The invention concerns a device designed to operate in two modes defined by the position of the arm supporting the microphone, a discreet mode (wireless telephone) where only the user can talk, in this case the arm is spaced apart from the housing and the microphone as well as the speaker of the device are activated; an open mode (wireless microphone), where the user and people around him may talk, in that case the arm is folded back into the main housing. The shift in mode is detected by the processor of the device and automatically transmitted by radio to the portable computer which is immediately configured in accordance with the conditions required by the selected mode. The main housing satisfies the PCMCIA 1.0/JEIDA 4.0 standards and can be easily inserted into a Type II PCMCIA housing of a portable computer, thus the battery can be charged by the portable computer, making the device available at all times.

Description

TITRE DE L'INVENTION TITLE OF THE INVENTION
Téléphone mobile autonome, sans fil, intégrable dans le boîtier d'un ordinateur portable et capable de fonctionner sous deux modes distincts,A cordless, stand-alone mobile phone that can be integrated into the case of a laptop and can operate in two distinct modes,
"Téléphone sans fil" ou "Microphone sans fil"."Cordless phone" or "Wireless microphone".
L'invention concerne un dispositif fonctionnant d'une manière autonome comprennant un émetteur et un récepteur radio capable de communiquer avec un ordinateur portable et de s'intégrer dans son boîtier. II est conçu de manière à fonctionner selon deux modes distincts, "Téléphone sans fil" ou "Microphone sans fil".An autonomously operating device includes a transmitter and a radio receiver capable of communicating with a laptop and integrating into its housing. It is designed to operate in two distinct modes, "Cordless Phone" or "Wireless Microphone".
Les ordinateurs portables récents offrent des fonctions de communication numériques très performantes qui leur permettent de communiquer vers des réseaux numériques extérieurs et ouvrent la possibilité d'utiliser de nouveaux types de services comme la téléphonie numériques.Recent laptops offer high-performance digital communication capabilities that allow them to communicate to external digital networks and open the possibility of using new types of services such as digital telephony.
Ces services connues comme " Voice Over Internet Protocol ou VOIP " transforment l'ordinateur portable en station mobile de téléphonie numérique. Cette nouvelle fonctionnalitée liée à la réduction des coûts de ce type de communication va accentuer l'utilisation de l'ordinateur portable comme relais numérique d'un téléphone.These services, known as "Voice Over Internet Protocol or VOIP", transform the laptop into a mobile digital telephony station. This new feature related to reducing the cost of this type of communication will increase the use of the laptop as a digital relay of a phone.
Notons que ces ordinateurs portables comportent le plus souvent des dispositifs audios intégrés, constitués par une électronique associée à un microphone et à un haut parleur. Cependant leur fonctionnement simultané est précaire, parfois impossible et il est nécessaire d1 utiliser un casque audio ou une oreillette extérieure pour se connecter avec succès aux services de téléphonie numérique ( VOIP ).Note that these laptops most often have integrated audio devices, consisting of electronics associated with a microphone and a speaker. However, their simultaneous operation is precarious, sometimes impossible and it is necessary to use 1 headphones or an external headset to connect successfully to the digital phone service (VOIP).
Si le casque ou l'oreillette sont conçus avec une communication sans fil de type " BlueTooth " par exemple, il faudra prendre soin de recharger régulièrement les batteries, ce qui nécessite le transport d'un chargeur spécifique.If the headset or headset is designed with "BlueTooth" wireless communication, for example, care should be taken to regularly recharge the batteries, which requires the transport of a specific charger.
Enfin aucun de ces dispositifs assez volumineux, ne sont logeables et intégrables dans le boîtier de l'ordinateur portable ce qui nécessitent de les transporter séparément.Finally none of these devices are bulky enough, can be accommodated and integrated into the housing of the laptop which require to transport them separately.
Le but de la présente invention est de supprimer les inconvénients des dispositifs connus et rendre possible deux modes de fonctionnement distincs " Téléphone sans Fil " et " Microphone sans Fil" en sélectionnant le mode d'une manière très simple et pratique pour l'utilisateur. Un autre but de l'invention est de supprimer le besoin d'un chargeur spécifique en utilisant l'ordinateur portable comme source d'énergie capable de charger a tout moment la batterie du dispositif.The object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of known devices and make possible two distinct modes of operation "Cordless Telephone" and "Wireless Microphone" by selecting the mode in a very simple and convenient for the user. Another object of the invention is to eliminate the need for a specific charger by using the laptop as a power source capable of charging the battery of the device at any time.
