Description

Telefonkarte für ein KartentelefonPhone card for a card phone

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Telefonkarte nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a telephone card according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Telefonkarten sind allgemein in Gebrauch. Das Speicherelement arbeitet vorzugsweise auf elektronischer oder optisch/holographischer Basis. Das Guthaben, das mit dem Kauf der Telefonkarte vorab als Benutzungsentgelt an die Telefon-Betreibergesellschaft entrichtet wird, liegt elektronisch oder optisch codiert als Inhalt des Speiehers vor und wird durch entsprechende Veränderung des Speicherinhalts während des Gebrauchs "verringert".Such phone cards are in common use. The memory element preferably works on an electronic or optical/holographic basis. The credit, which is paid in advance to the telephone operator company as a usage fee when purchasing the phone card, is electronically or optically encoded as the contents of the memory and is "reduced" by changing the memory contents during use.

Es sind verschiedene Telefonsysteme bekannt. Sie unterscheiden sich in der Form bzw. Anordnung ihrer Endgeräte 0 -stationär bzw. mobil- und/oder ihrem Übertragungsweg drahtgestützt oder per Funk-. Gemeinsam ist diesen Systemen jedoch die beschriebene Art der Gebührenbezahlung in der beschriebenen Form der Kreditierung (Vorab-Entrichtung). Jedoch unterscheiden sich die Speicherelemente für 5 die verschiedenen Telefonsysteme in der äußeren Form des Trägers, in dem sie enthalten sind. Für das Mobilfunk-Telefonnetz besitzt der Träger eine flächenmäßige Abmessung von ca. 2 cm , für das konventionelle Telefonnetz ist die Größe des Trägers gleich der einer üblichen Scheckkarte.Various telephone systems are known. They differ in the form or arrangement of their terminals - stationary or mobile - and/or their transmission path - wired or radio. However, these systems have in common the described type of fee payment in the form of credit (payment in advance). However, the storage elements for the various telephone systems differ in the external form of the carrier in which they are contained. For the mobile telephone network, the carrier has a surface area of approx. 2 cm, for the conventional telephone network the size of the carrier is the same as that of a standard check card.

Aufgrund der kleinen Abmessung bereitet insbesondere die Handhabung des Speicherelements für das Mobilfunknetz erhebliche Probleme. Damit aber besteht die Gefahr eines Verlustes und der für den Besitzer nicht mehr kontrollierbaren Benutzung seines Guthabens.Due to its small size, handling the storage element for the mobile network in particular poses considerable problems. This, however, poses the risk of loss and the owner no longer being able to control the use of their credit.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Telefonkarte der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die eine leichte Handhabbarkeit für ein in seinen Abmessungen kleines Speicherelement für den Mobilfunkverkehr ermöglicht. The invention is based on the object of creating a telephone card of the type mentioned at the beginning, which enables easy handling for a small-sized storage element for mobile communications.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. The invention solves this problem by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Durch die Unterbringung des Speicherelements auf einem Träger, der in dem mit seinen Abmessungen als Scheckkarte ausgebildeten Grundkörper sitzt, wird eine Handhabbarkeit erzielt, die der einer Scheckkarte gleich ist. Nur wenn es erforderlich ist, das Speicherelement in einem Mobilfunkgerät einzusetzen, wird der Träger samt Speicherelement aus dem Grundkörper entnommen und in das Mobilfunkgerät eingesetzt. Nach Gebrauch ist es möglich, Träger und Speicherelement erneut in den Grundkörper einzufügen. Sofern die technischen Voraussetzungen geschaffen sind, ist es auch möglich, bei entsprechender Anordnung des Speicherelements innerhalb des Grundkörpers die Telefonkarte auch im Rahmen eines konventionellen Telefonsystems mit stationären Endgeräten einzusetzen. Die Telefonkarte wird in gewohnter Weise in das Endgerät eingeführt und die Gebühr für Ferngespräche durch entsprechende Änderung des Speicherelements entrichtet. Es ist in diesem Fall möglich mit nur einem Speicherelement sowohl auf konventionelle Weise als auch mittels eines Mobiltelefons zu kommunizieren.By accommodating the memory element on a carrier that sits in the base body, which has the dimensions of a check card, it is possible to handle it in the same way as a check card. Only when it is necessary to use the memory element in a mobile phone is the carrier and memory element removed from the base body and inserted into the mobile phone. After use, it is possible to reinsert the carrier and memory element into the base body. Provided that the technical requirements are met, it is also possible to use the phone card as part of a conventional telephone system with stationary terminals if the memory element is arranged appropriately within the base body. The phone card is inserted into the terminal in the usual way and the long-distance call fee is paid by changing the memory element accordingly. In this case, it is possible to communicate with just one memory element both in the conventional way and by means of a mobile phone.

Vorteilhafte konstruktive Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der weiteren Ansprüche 2 bis 4. Diese bieten den Vorteil einer verliersicheren Unterbringung des Trägers im Grundkörper (Anspruch 2) im Grundkörper, einer Möglichkeit, den Sitz bzw. die Existenz des Trägers schnell und sicher zu überprüfen (Anspruch 3) und derAdvantageous structural embodiments of the invention are the subject of the further claims 2 to 4. These offer the advantage of a captive accommodation of the carrier in the base body (claim 2) in the base body, a possibility of quickly and safely checking the fit or existence of the carrier (claim 3) and the

Möglichkeit, den Grundkörper wie eine Telefonkarte für ein konventionelles Fernsprechnetz oder im Rahmen eines anderen, in entsprechender Weise arbeitenden Abrechnungssystem (ggf. auch mit mehrmaliger Vorab-Entrichtung eines Guthabens) zu benutzen (Anspruch 4). Letzteres ist z.B. dann von Bedeutung, wenn es nicht möglich ist, die Telefonkarte selbst im Rahmen dieses Netzes einzusetzen.Possibility of using the base body like a telephone card for a conventional telephone network or within the framework of another billing system that works in a similar way (possibly also with multiple advance payments of credit) (claim 4). The latter is important, for example, if it is not possible to use the telephone card itself within the framework of this network.

Anhand der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung weiter erläutert.The invention is further explained with reference to the drawing.

Die einzige Figur zeigt in vergrößertem Maßstab eine Telefonkarte 1 für ein Mobilfunknetz, die in einen Grundkörper 2 von dessen Stirnseite her einführbar ist. Telefonkarte 1 und der Grundkörper 2 bestehen aus flachem Plastikmaterial. Die Abmessungen des Grundkörpers 2 entsprechen einer üblichen Scheckkarte.The only figure shows, on an enlarged scale, a telephone card 1 for a mobile network, which can be inserted into a base body 2 from the front side. The telephone card 1 and the base body 2 are made of flat plastic material. The dimensions of the base body 2 correspond to a standard check card.

Über eine nicht dargestellte Öffnung in der Stirnseite des Grundkörpers 2, etwa in Höhe des Pfeiles 3 kann die 0 Telefonkarte 1 in den Grundkörper 2 bis hin zu einem Anschlag eingeschoben werden. Die Telefonkarte 1 sitzt dann an der mit I1 bezeichneten Stelle. Über ein Fenster 4, das von der Oberseite bis zur Unterseite des Grundkörpers 2 reicht, ist der Sitz bzw. die Existenz der Telefonkarte 5 innerhalb des Grundkörpers 2 feststellbar. Befindet sichThe telephone card 1 can be inserted into the base body 2 up to a stop via an opening (not shown) in the front side of the base body 2, approximately at the level of the arrow 3. The telephone card 1 is then seated at the position marked I 1. The position or existence of the telephone card 5 within the base body 2 can be determined via a window 4, which extends from the top to the bottom of the base body 2. If

die Telefonkarte 1 an der vorgegebenen Stelle I1, so schließt der mit einem Pfeil 5 gekennzeichnete hintere Rand der Telefonkarte 1 etwa mit dem Rand des Fensters 4 so ab, daß nur noch ein geringer Spalt zu sehen ist.

Innerhalb der Telefonkarte ist ein Speicherelement 6 angedeutet, das eine Information über das noch bestehende Guthaben beinhaltet, das ausgehend von dem beim Kauf bzw. Nachladen bestehenden Wert in der Zwischenzeit erreicht 5 ist. Der Aufbau des Speicherelements 6 und der gesamtenA memory element 6 is indicated within the phone card, which contains information about the remaining credit that has been reached in the meantime, starting from the value existing at the time of purchase or reloading 5. The structure of the memory element 6 and the entire

Telefonkarte 1 ist konventionell und bei Mobilfunksystemen üblich. Phone card 1 is conventional and common in mobile phone systems.

Innerhalb des Grundkörpers 2 ist ein weiteres Speicherelement 7 angedeutet, das es ermöglicht, den Grundkörper 2 z.B. im Rahmen eines konventionellen Telefonnetzes nach Art der dabei verwendeten, scheckkartenförmigen Telefonkarten einzusetzen. Auch der Aufbau dieses Speicherelements ist konventionell und bedarf keiner besonderen Erläuterung.A further storage element 7 is indicated within the base body 2, which makes it possible to use the base body 2, for example, within a conventional telephone network in the manner of the credit card-shaped telephone cards used there. The structure of this storage element is also conventional and does not require any special explanation.

Mit der Telefonkarte 1 ist es möglich, nach Entnahme aus dem Grundkörper 2 und Einsetzen in ein nicht dargestelltes Mobilfunkgerät Telefongespräch in einem Mobilfunknetz zu führen. Sitzt die Telefonkarte 1 innerhalb des Grundkörpers, so ist sie weitgehend vor Verlust geschützt. Bei geeigneter Anordnung innerhalb des Grundkörpers 2 und bei entsprechender Eignung des Speicherelements 6 ist es möglich, den Grundkörper 2 auch als TeIe-0 fonkarte in einem konventionellen Fernsprechnetz einzusetzen. Sofern diese Eignung für das Speicherelement 6 nicht besteht, kann durch das Speicherelement 7 diese Eignung hergestellt werden.With the telephone card 1 it is possible to make a telephone call in a mobile phone network after removing it from the base body 2 and inserting it into a mobile phone device (not shown). If the telephone card 1 is located within the base body, it is largely protected against loss. With a suitable arrangement within the base body 2 and with the corresponding suitability of the memory element 6, it is also possible to use the base body 2 as a telephone card in a conventional telephone network. If this suitability does not exist for the memory element 6, this suitability can be achieved by the memory element 7.
