Abstract

The method involves automatically dialing the receiver initiated in accordance with user-specific criteria and after successfully dialing, which is automatically confirmed by a response from the receiver to the transmitter or is automatically initiated, then the information is automatically transmitted and if appropriate automatically output.

Description

The invention relates to a method for the automatic transmission of information and if necessary for automatic information output according to the generic term of independent claim.

With automatic information output, the output (acoustic and / or not acoustically) of information by a terminal without initiating To understand the action (request) of the service user, or in one Development of the invention by an immediate (z. B. keystroke) or indirect requirement of the user (motion sensor), which consciously or can happen subconsciously.

Such methods are used in particular as a replacement or supplement for Appointment calendar, reminder / wake-up services, imagination methods, and at Care for people in need by third parties.

The prior art discloses automatic information transmission and So far, the issue has only been conditional on the telephone being dialed by the user, which self-selection is not programmable and which only is improvised via the Notification function, about leaving a message on your own Answering machine can be made.  

The disadvantage of the prior art is that neither is an automatic Information is transmitted and output in non-acoustic form can still be based on user-specific characteristics of the transmitter and / or Receiver.

The object of the present invention is to provide a method which an automatic transmission of information and, if necessary, output even in non- acoustic form and possibly based on user-specific characteristics of the transmitter and / or recipient can make.

The technical teaching of the independent is used to solve the tasks Claim.

An essential feature here is that the method for automatic Transmission of information from a sender to a recipient and, if necessary, to automatic information output at the recipient first over User-specific criteria started automatic selection of the recipient and after successful selection, which is confirmed by the recipient to the transmitter is automatically activated or automatically initiated, then the Information is automatically transmitted and, if necessary, automatically output there.

The advantage here is that the method according to the invention is automatic Information transfer also in the form of data (e.g. text or graphics) about large Distances and possibly due to and in the form of user-specific features of the transmitter and / or receiver can make.

The method provides the user or third parties with a service that the Users themselves or those to be notified automatically via a suitable one selects technical device (contacted).  

If the selection is successful, d. H. the contact between sender and receiver manufactured, the user receives a message defined by himself or a third party. The The transmitter can also be the receiver at the same time (memo function) Self-users do not necessarily have to be physically at the location of the stored information must be located. The information to be transmitted automatically can, for. B. on The owner's workstation can be saved and automatically triggered via specific criteria or parameters, via remote transmission (e.g. Internet) for example, as an email to the current location of the owner-occupier are transmitted and through this z. B. queried by mobile phone and be issued.

A transformation, i.e. H. Change the source message (e.g. from SMS format to Voice or fax format etc.), one intended for later dispatch Information is supported by the system. For example, originally Text information must have been created, hereinafter referred to as a voice message is processed. Spoken messages can also be sent in text form Shipping coming. The transformation options are optional for example graphic representations or acoustic reproduction (sound sequences) expandable.

The message (information) corresponds to:

• 1. a verbal message / message (language)
• 2. an audio recording (music, sounds, noises, etc.)
• 3. a text (letters, numbers, special characters etc.)
• 4. an animation (graphics such as slides, films, drawings, diagrams etc.)
• 5. a combination of items 1-4

The selection is made:

• 1. by phone (landline or mobile)
• 2. via the Internet (possibly via provider)
• 3. by means of other accesses (BTX, GSM, UMTS, GPS, radio)

The user or third party defines the selection:

• 1. by time and date
• 2. within an interval (in defined possibly uniform time intervals)
• 3. for a message: "Information available" (if predefined Information store is full)
• 4. by a random generator (random) with maximum selection per specific one time unit
• 5. Depending on the location of the user, detection using GPS, bluetooth and / or in connection with corresponding sensors or technical Devices that build up or align a signal to a technical Allow service user setup.

The selection is preferred for direct acceptance by the user intended. A selection on answering machine or similar can be user-defined be excluded.

The message can be preceded by an identification query.

The notification can be the query of a defined confirmation by the user be connected. Depending on the confirmation of a query, a selection or multiple selections can be triggered in parallel or in series.

Depending on the type of confirmation of a query or reaction of the user (e.g. Actively provide feedback, aut. result feedback from a report of connected Processes), one or more selections (predefined Contact structures) can be triggered in parallel or in series.

Notes on application areas:

• 1. Memo function (replacement for diary, bulletin board etc.)
• 2. Imagination methods u. ä.
• 3rd care by third parties (medical, etc., e.g. in the sick and old age and Care for the disabled, or for childcare)

Notes on integrating other organizations or services:
Depending on their own defined profile in relation to third-party products, information can be transmitted to the user. So only information with recipient and / or user-defined content is transmitted and / or output.

The profile defined by the user or the profile held in front of him can be used by the system Information to be sent to him or information to be returned to him modify. Changes that a source information or a last sent Information learned depends on that defined within a profile advanced settings for sending information.

example

A user sends himself an individually created one at intervals Smoking cessation message. This message was originally text is written, but if the user carries his mobile device with him (logged in), as a voice message - without any feedback from you to accept is required - broadcast. The user has defined in the profile that he has one gives positive feedback to confirm his intention. So now he could speak a message within the existing connection setup that underlines his will in terms of content. This linguistic expression in turn will analyzed by the system for intonation and reproduction of the predefined answer. is if the result is negative, the information is sent again, For example, the additional content that the goal is only with firm will and to achieve positive thinking.

Another possibility for the targeted use of the service is a system side report the individual processes.

Possible areas

• 1. marketing
• 2. Astrology  
• 3. Interests / information bid (economy / employer)

The invention therefore relates to a method for the automatic transmission of information between a transmitter and a receiver, the transmitter being simultaneous Can be a recipient (personal use).

The information to be transmitted automatically can be acoustic and / or graphic form via remote transmission (telephone, internet, BTX, GSM, UMTS, GPS, Radio) are transmitted and output, the information depending of sender and / or recipient-specific criteria such as B. time window, Whereabouts, occurrence of another event) is automatically transmitted and is automatically output at the recipient location if necessary.

The information itself can be precisely predefined, or based on one specific transmitter and / or receiver profile before or during the Transmission or output are generated and saved if necessary.

The method according to the invention can be used, for example, as a diary, Study method or for monitoring needy (young, old, sick) Individuals (people / animals) can be used.

The automatically to be transmitted and, if necessary, to be automatically output Information can be transmitted over almost any distance are and are output in almost any form z. B. as language, Music, moving or still graphics, text, or other data for Control of other devices for the generation of humans / animals signals that can be recorded by sensors (heat, mechanical movements such as Shocks, smells, etc).
