Definitions

  • the invention relates to a remote control device for a
  • Hearing aid a mobile phone and a hearing aid remote control system.
  • Hearing aids are established in the hearing aid industry, which enable operating elements on the housing, for example for adjusting the volume or for selecting a program optimized for a specific situation.
  • the dimensions of the controls on the hearing aid are very small.
  • the wearer of the hearing aid is required to have fine motor dexterity, which is not always the case, in particular in patients of advanced age.
  • the operating elements are in an unfamiliar place and cannot be viewed during operation, which increases the possibility of incorrect operation.
  • the invention is therefore also based on the object of specifying a technical teaching which enables a hearing aid to be comfortably adapted to a current situation and / or the current wishes of the user.
  • a remote control device is therefore equipped with an input interface for receiving input information.
  • This makes it possible for the hearing aid to be remotely controlled using an input device which is already provided for other purposes and which, for example due to its size or its special and complex design, enables particularly convenient input of input information.
  • the remote control device can be used, for example, to change hearing aid settings, to release certain performance features of the hearing aid, or to switch the hearing aid into suitable operating modes.
  • the remote control device is equipped with a mechanical coupling device for detachable and again fixable coupling to a mobile telephone (for cellular or cordless communication).
  • a mechanical coupling device for detachable and again fixable coupling to a mobile telephone (for cellular or cordless communication).
  • the remote control device can be offered as part of an accessory product for a mobile phone or at least partially as an accessory product for a mobile phone and so functional units, such as the input device, of the mobile phone, which are already present, also for controlling the Hearing aid can be used.
  • the remote control device is preferably located at least partially, in particular entirely, within the housing of a mobile telephone. This has the advantage that the remote control device is integrated into the mobile phone in such a way that a very compact and easy-to-use device is created overall. In this context, it should be pointed out that this variant comprises many different configurations.
  • a conversion device of the remote control device for converting the input information into hearing aid control information can be implemented entirely or partially in the mobile phone.
  • the implementation can be implemented in whole or in part by a processor device and / or circuit devices which are already present in the mobile phone in order to control the mobile phone. Single borrowed the programming of this processor or Circuit devices are adapted to the remote control device and the corresponding applications.
  • the conversion device can additionally or alternatively also be implemented in whole or in part by a processor device or a circuit device which is implemented in a separate housing outside the cell phone housing.
  • the invention also includes the case that the input interface is located only or in addition to the conversion device within the mobile telephone.
  • the input interface can be implemented by the input interface, which anyway receives input information from the input device for controlling the mobile telephone and forwards it to a processor device.
  • the hearing aid control commands can include query commands which trigger the hearing device information to be queried in the hearing aid and the hearing device information to be transmitted to the receiving device.
  • the serial number of the hearing aid, hearing aid parameters or hearing aid settings can be queried.
  • the remote control device is equipped with a situation information interface for receiving situation information and with a conversion device for converting the situation information into hearing aid control commands.
  • situation information tion can be information that describes the current situation in which the hearing aid, the hearing aid wearer or the mobile phone is currently located. This situation information can in particular either be determined by sensors or output by the mobile phone or certain components of the mobile phone.
  • the situation information can include information as to whether a telephone connection is currently being established by the mobile phone.
  • a processor device inside or outside of the mobile phone housing, implemented as part of the remote control device or as part of the mobile phone
  • This is advantageous because, by telephoning, electrically active components of the mobile telephone are brought into the vicinity of the electrically sensitive components of the hearing aid, which can lead to faults that can at least be reduced by a suitable setting of the hearing aid.
  • the situation information preferably includes information about whether an incoming call is signaled to the mobile phone. If this information is available, a call control command is sent to the hearing aid.
  • the call control command causes the hearing aid to emit a call signal tone. This has the advantage that the hearing aid wearer is reliably informed about incoming calls without having to adjust the signal tone of the mobile telephone to an intolerable volume - for those in the vicinity.
  • the invention also includes a mobile telephone with an input device for inputting input information, with an output interface for outputting the input information, and with one of the remote control devices explained above.
  • the invention comprises a hearing aid remote control system with a mobile telephone and a hearing aid, which is designed to receive and process control commands that are sent by the remote control device.
  • FIG. 1 block diagram of a hearing aid remote control system.
  • FIG. 1 shows a mobile station MS which contains an operating device MMI, a high-frequency device HF and a processor device PE.
  • the operating device MMI comprises a display device, such as a graphic display, and actuating elements, such as buttons or softkeys.
  • a program-controlled processor device PE such as a microcontroller, which can also include a processor CPU and a memory device SPE.
  • processor units belonging to the processor unit and belonging to the processor unit can be located inside or outside the processor unit PE.
  • components controlled by the processor device or controlling the processor device such as, for example, a digital signal processor or further memory devices, the basic function of which is sufficiently known to a person skilled in the art in connection with a processor device for controlling a mobile station, and which are therefore not dealt with in more detail at this point becomes.
  • the various components can exchange data with the processor CPU via a bus system BUS or the input / output interfaces and, if appropriate, suitable controllers.
  • the program data such as the control commands or control procedures that are used to control the mobile station, are stored in the storage device SPE.
  • Communication between components of the mobile station and components of the remote control device FS is implemented via an output interface SS of the mobile station MS and a corresponding input interface ESS of the remote control device, which serves in particular to transmit input information.
  • the remote control device is physically, in particular mechanically, connected to the mobile station via a plug KE.
  • a conversion device UE which can be implemented by a switching device provided specifically for this purpose or a processor device set up for this purpose, provides the input information which is entered by the user via the keyboard MMI of the mobile station and via the output or Input interface to the conversion device are transferred, implemented in hearing aid control commands.
  • These hearing aid control commands are then transmitted to the hearing aid HG by means of a suitable transmission device SE, in particular a (Bluetooth) radio transmission device telt and received there by a corresponding receiving device EEH, in particular a (Bluetooth) radio receiving device, and interpreted and implemented by a hearing aid control device STE, which can also be implemented by a processor device that is suitably equipped for programming.
  • the receiving device of the hearing device can also be designed as a passive transponder, which enables the hearing device to be reprogrammed without further power consumption in the hearing device.
  • the hearing aid HG also has a transmission device SEH, in particular a (Bluetooth) radio transmission device, for transmitting information to the remote control device FS which is received there by a corresponding receiving device EE, in particular a (Bluetooth) radio reception device.
  • a transmission device SEH in particular a (Bluetooth) radio transmission device
  • EE in particular a (Bluetooth) radio reception device
  • the hearing aid control commands comprise a query command which in the hearing aid triggers the query of hearing aid information and the retransmission of this information to the remote control device and possibly to the mobile station or even to the mobile radio system.
  • a further embodiment provides that the remote control device is connected to the mobile station via a situation information interface, which is provided, for example, as part or parallel to the output or input interface, for transmitting situation information from the mobile station to the remote control device.
  • a situation information interface which is provided, for example, as part or parallel to the output or input interface, for transmitting situation information from the mobile station to the remote control device.
  • such situation information can describe situations in which the user of the mobile station or the mobile station is located.
  • the situation information is used to signal the remote control device when a connection is or is being established by the mobile telephone, or when an incoming call is signaled to the mobile station.
  • This situation information is then also converted by the conversion device UE into hearing aid control commands which, after transmission to the hearing aid (see above), are interpreted and executed by the control device STE of the hearing aid.
  • Situation information which signals that a connection is or is being established by the mobile station, leads to the hearing aid being switched to a telephone operating mode in which the hearing aid is less susceptible to interference for the electromagnetic radiation specific to mobile stations.
  • the directional microphone characteristic of the hearing aid can be switched off during the telephone connection.
  • the ambient sound is examined in the mobile station or in the remote control device and, based on this, the current acoustic situation is classified, ie a statement is made about which standard situation, of which a limited one Number is defined, the current situation is most similar.
  • This classification then initiates a data exchange, which causes the acoustically relevant parameters in the hearing aid to be readjusted to a state which is optimized for this situation. This offers a great advantage as soon as a hearing aid wearer uses a hearing aid on both sides, since this ensures a clear classification for both hearing aids.
  • the conversion device and thus also the output or input interface and / or the situation information interface entirely or partially within the housing of the mobile station and in particular by in any case in existing components of the mobile station can be realized.
  • the conversion device can also be implemented in whole or in part by the processor device of the mobile station, and the output or input interface and / or the situation information interface can be implemented by the processor device input or output and / or corresponding data bus systems.
  • the invention also includes the case that input information is fed from the operating device to the processor device of the mobile station and is converted there into hearing aid control commands.
  • the invention also includes the case that the processor device Issues control commands as soon as the corresponding situation information is detected internally.
  • the power supply unit of the mobile station can also be used to power the remote control device.
