Description
- The invention relates to a mobile apparatus for communicating over at least two networks. The invention also relates to a communication system providing inter-network communication.
- The invention is relevant to radio telephony applications. The invention permits to exchange data objects, e.g. messages, from one network to the other.
- The increasing number of hand-held communicating devices has made clear the need to provide wireless connectivity. Therefore standards are developed to define communication over Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) and Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN).
- The Infrared Data Association (IrDA) defines standards for short-range infrared wireless communications. The IrDA has defined several data protocols among which are the IrMC (IR Mobile Communications protocol) and the IrOBEX (Object Exchange Protocol). The IrMC specification, “Specification for IR Mobile Communications”, Version 1.1, March 1999, defines the rules for utilization of IR in wireless communications equipment e.g. mobile handsets, PCs, notebooks, PDAs, cellular phones. On pp. 73-81, the IrMC specification specifically enables objects exchange between a variety of applications and, for example, enables the exchange of text messages defined as vMessages between messaging applications. The IrOBEX specification “IR Object Exchange protocol”, Version 1.2, March 1999, defines the exchange of data objects, such as the vMessages defined in the IrMC specification, from one device to another. On pp. 68-70, the IrOBEX specification defines profiles of data objects and particularly vMessages. The OBEX protocol may also be utilized by the Bluetooth technology enabling the possibility to use either the Bluetooth radio technology or the IrDA IR-technology.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,946,629 relates to inter-network message communication. This document discloses functionality in a message center of a cellular telecommunications network for performing inter-network message communication. With respect to an SMS message originated from a mobile station, the message center analyzes the received message to identify both a designated message delivery network and a destination address on that designated network for message delivery. The message is then re-formatted for transmission on the designated network, and forwarded in the proper format to the identified destination address via the designated network. With respect to a message originated on a network other than the cellular network, the message center analyzes the received message to identify a subscriber mobile station destination on the cellular network for message delivery. The received message is then re-formatted for transmission on the cellular network, and forwarded in the SMS message format to the identified subscriber mobile station via the cellular network.
- It is an object of the invention to permit mobile and user-configurable inter-network communication.
- It is another object of the invention to provide a user-friendly apparatus for communicating over a first network using a first data format, and for enabling interconnection to other devices communicating over another network using a second data format.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of amobile apparatus 100 of the invention. Theapparatus 100 comprises first interface means 104 for exchanging data of a first format with another device over a firstwireless network 10. Theapparatus 100 is comprised in thenetwork 10. Interface means 104 may be a wireless transceiver such as a mobile radio transceiver. The first format is defined by intrinsic requirements of thenetwork 10. Thenetwork 10 is for example a wireless telephony network such as a GSM network. - The
apparatus 100 comprises second interface means 105 for exchanging data of a second format with another device over a secondwireless network 20. Theapparatus 100 is comprised in thenetwork 20. The second format is defined by intrinsic requirements of thenetwork 20. For example, thenetwork 20 is a WPAN defined in a Bluetooth environment. - The
apparatus 100 further comprises processing means 101 and two internal circuits: auser interface 103 and amemory unit 102. Processing means 101 is coupled with interface means 104 and 105, thememory 102 and theuser interface 103. - Processing means 101 can be configured by means of control commands C1, . . . , Cn to perform respective tasks. For example, in response to a first control command C1, processing means 101 is configured, in a first step, to convert data of the first format received by first interface means 104 to data of the second format. Processing means 101 is also configured, in a second step, to forward converted data to the
second network 20 by transmitting converted data to second interface means 105. Similarly, in response to a second control command C2, e.g., processing means 101 is configured to convert data received from theuser interface 103 into data of the second format. Processing means 101 is also configured to forward converted data to thesecond network 20. It is also within the scope of the invention to contemplate other scenarios comprising both steps of converting received data of a given format to another data format and forwarding converted data to one of the two networks, or, to one or bothinternal circuits apparatus 100. -
FIG. 2 is an example of acommunication system 200 of the invention. Thesystem 200 comprises theapparatus 100 of the invention. In this embodiment, theapparatus 100 is a mobile radiotelephone. Thesystem 200 further comprises a radiotelephony base station 300 for exchanging data of the first format with thephone 100 over thenetwork 10. Thesystem 200 also comprises adevice 400 for exchanging data of the second format with thephone 100 over thenetwork 20. In this embodiment thedevice 400 is, for example, a personal computer within theWPAN 20. Thesystem 200 of the invention may also comprise other devices than thecomputer 400 and thebase station 300 in theWPAN 20 and in thenetwork 10, respectively, with which thephone 100 may communicate. -
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of acommunication system 200 of the invention. Thephone 100 is comprised in thenetwork 10, e.g., a GSM network. Thephone 100 may send or receive, over theGSM network 10, data of the first format defined by the GSM standard. Such data is voice data of a phone call or a short message service (SMS) message. In the following, reception and transmission of SMS messages is an illustrative example. Interface means 104 of thephone 100 comprises aRF protocol stack 109 composed of the 6 well-known OSI layers (Open System Reference model of layers): the physical layer, the data link layer, the network layer, the transport layer, the session layer and the presentation layer. Theprotocol stack 109 receives and sends SMS messages over theGSM network 10. Interface means 104 also comprises anOSI application layer 106. A SMS message sent by another device over thenetwork 10 to thephone 100 is received by thestack 109 of interface means 104. Thelayer 106 extracts, from thestack 109, data related to the reception of the SMS message. Such data related to the reception of a SMS message can be an address of a sender, the time the message was sent and the message itself. When a SMS message is sent by thephone 100 to another device over thenetwork 10, the SMS message is sentiby interface means 104 over thenetwork 10. Thelayer 106 provides thestack 109 with data related to the transmission of the SMS message over thenetwork 10. Such data related to the transmission of a SMS message can be a destination address, the time the message is sent and the message itself. - The
personal computer 400 and thephone 100 communicate with each other over thenetwork 20. In this embodiment, thenetwork 20 is a WPAN. Thephone 100 and thecomputer 400 exchange messages of the second data format. These messages of the second format, that have the so-called vMessage format as defined in the cited IrMC specification, pp. 73-81, are transmitted over theWPAN 20 but any other format, that is appropriate for data transmission over theWPAN 20, may also be used. Interface means 105 comprises aWPAN protocol stack 110 for receiving and sending vMessage messages over theWPAN 20. Interface means 105 also comprises anapplication layer 107. A vMessage message received by thephone 100 is received by thestack 110 of interface means 105. Thelayer 107 extracts, from thestack 110, data related to the reception of the vMessage message. Such data related to the reception of a vMessage message can be an address of a sender, the time the message was sent and the message itself. When a vMessage message is sent by thephone 100 over theWPAN 20, thelayer 107 provides thestack 110 with data related to the transmission of the vMessage message over theWPAN 20. Such data related to the transmission of a vMessage message can be a destination address, the time the message is sent and the message itself. - The
phone 100 further comprises processing means 101, thememory 102 and theuser interface 103 as mentioned previously. Thememory 102 stores data related to previous communications of theapparatus 100 over theGSM network 10 and theWPAN 20. For example, thememory 102 stores data related to previous receptions and transmissions of SMS messages over theGSM network 10 and data related to previous receptions and transmissions of vMessage messages over theWPAN 20. These data related to vMessage and SMS messages may be stored in a third data format different from the second and first data formats. Thememory 102 receives and supplies data of the third format to processing means 101. - The
user interface 103 comprises a microphone, a keyboard and a visual display, which can be used for retrieving and reading received messages, and writing messages to be sent over one of the twonetworks user interface 103 is also used by a user to configure thephone 100. Indeed the user enters a control command C1, . . . , Cn using theuser interface 103 and the control command is sent to processing means 101 for configuration as described hereinafter. In this embodiment, theuser interface 103 receives and sends data of the third format to processing means 101. - As mentioned above, processing means 101 is configured to perform a respective task in response to a respective control command Ck. In this embodiment, the control command Ck issues from the
user interface 103 when a user requires processing means 101 to perform a specific task. This can be done, for example, by the user pressing specific keys of a keyboard of thephone 100 or by means of a voice activated protocol within theinterface 103. In another embodiment, the control command Ck is received by interface means 104 or 105 from another device in theGSM network 10 or in theWPAN 20, respectively. - In an embodiment, processing means 101 is configured to perform a specific task in response to the received third control command C3. In response to the received control command C3, processing means 101 is configured to automatically convert received first data D1 to second data D2 of third format. First data D1 may be of either one of the first and second formats depending whether first data D1 relates to data received by interface means 104 or 105, respectively. Processing means 101 is then configured to automatically forward second data D2 of the third format t the
user interface 103 and thememory 102. - In this embodiment, interface means 104 receives a SMS message sent by another device over the
GSM network 10. Interface means 104 transmits first data D1 related to the reception of the SMS message to processing means 101. As mentioned above, processing means 101 has been configured by means of the control command C3. Thus, processing means 101 converts first data D1, of first format in this case, into second data D2 of third format. In this embodiment, the third format is an appropriate data format for internal data communication among the variousinternal circuits phone 100. Processing means 101 is then configured to forward second data D2 to thememory 102, where second data D2 is stored. In addition, processing means 101 may also convert first data D1 into third data D3 of the third format. Processing means 101, then, forwards third data D3 to theuser interface 103, in response to which theuser interface 103 notifies the user that a SMS message has been received. Data D2 and D3 may also be identical and theuser interface 103 and thememory 102 receive same second data D2. However, thememory 102 and theuser interface 103 have specific communication protocols. Indeed, in response to received second data D2, thememory 102 stores second data D2 and theuser interface 103 ignores content of second data D2 and simply notifies the user that a message has been received. Second data D2 in thememory 102 may, then, be retrieved by a user in response to a specific request of the user using theinterface 103. - Similarly, when interface means 105 receives a vMessage message transmitted over the
WPAN network 20, interface means 105 automatically transmits to processing means 101 first data D1 related to the reception of the vMessage message. In the same manner as for the received SMS message, processing means 101 converts first data D1 to second data D2 and forwards second data D2 to thememory 102 and theuser interface 103. - In an embodiment of the invention, data D2 and D3 may obtained by totally or partly converting first data D1 to a format, which is appropriate to the circuit in the
phone 100, to which data D2 and D3 are forwarded. Data D2 and D3 may also be obtained from a defined communication protocol between processing means 101 and thememory 102 and theuser interface 103. In this embodiment, when receiving first data D1, processing means 101 generates third data D3, which, when transmitted to interface 103, results only in the notification to the user that a message was received, e.g. display of a graphical representation of an envelope on the display of theuser interface 103. In this example, third data D3 forwarded by processing means 101 do not necessarily give indication of information content of first data D1. Third data D3 may be common data for any message or data object received by interface means 104 and 105. - Such a configuration of processing means 101 allows a user to direct to the
phone 100 any data objects transmitted over theGSM network 10 and theWPAN 20. Thecomputer 400 may then be configured to send a vMessage to thephone 100 whenever thecomputer 400 receives an e-mail. Thus, when thephone 100 has been configured beforehand, by means of the command C3 to perform the task described above, the user is informed on thephone 100 when an e-mail is received on thecomputer 400. - In
FIG. 3 thecomputer 400 comprises auser interface 402. Theuser interface 402 permits a user to communicate with thecomputer 400. Theinterface 402 comprises a keyboard and a screen. Thecomputer 400 comprises vMessage processing means 403 and WPAN interface means 401. Interface means 401 allows thecomputer 400 to communicate with thephone 100 and any other device in thenetwork 20. When a vMessage is received by interface means 401, processing means 403 generates and transmits data related to the received vMessage to theuser interface 402 to indicate the user that a vMessage was received. In a reverse direction, a user sends data from thecomputer 400 over thenetwork 20 using theuser interface 402, processing means 403 and finally interface means 401. Thecomputer 400 receives e-mails transmitted over another network by means of a dial-upnetworking circuit 404. Thus, when the e-mail is received through thecircuit 404, theuser interface 402, processing means 403 and interface means 401 are configured to generate and transmit the vMessage to thephone 100. - Processing means 101 may then be configured to perform another task by means of the first control command Cl as mentioned earlier. When processing means 101 receives first data D1 from interface means 104, processing means 101 converts received first data D1 of the first format to second data D2 of the second format and forwards second data D2 to interface means 105 and the
network 20. This configuration allows the user to redirect any message received by thephone 100 over thenetwork 10 to thepersonal computer 400. When a SMS message is received by thestack 109 of thephone 100, interface means 104 automatically transmits first data D1 related to the reception of the SMS message. Processing means 101 has been configured to perform the first task. As a result, in response to the received first data D1, processing means 101 converts first data D1 to second data D2. Second data D2 can comprise, using the second format, information content of the SMS message itself, the address of the sender of the SMS message and the time the SMS message was originally received. Second data D2 is then forwarded to interface means 105 for transmission of a vMessage message over theWPAN 20. Interface means 105, automatically transmits the vMessage message over theWPAN 20 to thecomputer 400. This configuration allows a user to retrieve on thecomputer 400 any message object received by thephone 100 over the GSM network. - It is to be noted that, with respect to the described apparatus, modifications or improvements may be proposed without departing from the scope of the invention. For instance, it is clear that this apparatus may be implemented in several manners, such as by means of wired electronic circuits or, alternatively, by means of a set of instructions stored in a computer-readable medium, said instructions replacing at least a part of said circuits and being executable under the control of a computer or a digital processor in order to carry out the same functions as fulfilled in said replaced circuits.
- It is also noted that the word “comprising” in a claim does not exclude the presence of other elements than those listed in this claim.
