Abstract

The unit includes a CCD camera which is connected to a radio telephone. The CCD camera and the radio telephone form a unit and a facsimile modem is integrated in the telephone. Pictures are picked up which are transmitted as a facsimile message. Preferably, the digitised picture data are transferred to facsimile apparatus using the telephone. The camera and the telephone are connected together using a plug-type connector.

Description

Zum Versenden von Faxvorlagen (speziell von handgeschriebenen) ist es heute noch erforderlich, diese über einen Scanner zu digitalisieren und dann erst können diese per Fax versandt werden. Dieses ist speziell bei mobilen Anwendungen mit GSM-Telefonen sehr umständlich.It is today for sending fax templates (especially handwritten ones) still necessary to digitize them using a scanner and only then can these will be sent by fax. This is especially with mobile applications GSM phones very cumbersome.

Meine Erfindung ist nun, eine CCD-Kamera und eine Konvertierungs- und Speichereinheit in ein Telefon (oder auch GSM-Handy/Funktelefon) zu integrieren. Mit dieser Kamera und der integrierten Konvertierungseinheit können dann Vorlagen mit einer Aufnahmezeit von ca. 1/125 Sekunde aufgenommen und direkt als Fax versendet werden. Der Vorlagenbereich entspricht dabei der Papiergröße DIN A4 und ist bei einem vorgegebenen Abstand über oder vor dem Objekt, der durch eine integrierte Abstandsmessung (Leuchtdiodenanzeige rot/grün) angezeigt wird, richtig fokussiert.My invention now is a CCD camera and a conversion and Integrate storage unit into a telephone (or GSM cell phone / radio telephone). With this camera and the integrated conversion unit, templates can then be created recorded with a recording time of approx. 1/125 second and directly as a fax be sent. The template area corresponds to the paper size DIN A4 and is at a given distance above or in front of the object, which is marked by a integrated distance measurement (LED display red / green) is displayed correctly focused.

Nach der Aufnahme wird das Bild automatisch konvertiert und digitalisiert gespeichert. Im Bediendialog des Telefons kann nun entschieden werden, an welchen Adressaten das Fax gesendet werden soll.Once captured, the image is automatically converted and digitized saved. You can now decide on in the operating dialog of the phone which addressees the fax should be sent to.

Der oben genannte Vorgang kann schon heute mit verschiedenen einzelnen Geräten, die entsprechend kombiniert werden (GSM-Telefon mit Daten- /Faxanbindung über PCMCIA-Karte an Notebook mit angeschlossener CCD-Kamera) durchgeführt werden. Meiner Kenntnis nach gibt es allerdings noch keine Anstrengungen oder Ansätze, diese Komponenten in ein Gerät zu integrieren. Um dieses eventuell zusammen mit Herstellern von GSM-Telefonen durchzuführen möchte ich nun zunächst diese Erfindung Patentieren lassen.The above process can already be done with different individuals Devices that are combined accordingly (GSM phone with data / Fax connection via PCMCIA card to notebook with connected CCD camera) be performed. As far as I know there are none yet Efforts or approaches to integrate these components into one device. To possibly do this together with manufacturers of GSM phones I would first like to patent this invention.

Die Bedienung erfolgt in folgender Weise:It is operated in the following way:

  • - Gerät zentral über der Vorlage halten- Hold the device centrally above the template
  • - Abstand verändern, bis Diode grün anzeigt- Change the distance until the diode shows green
  • - Auslöseknopf drücken- Press the release button
  • - Versanddialog durchführen- Execute shipping dialogue
