Ámbito de Ia técnicaScope of the technique
La invención se encuadra dentro del sector de dispositivos y accesorios para comunicaciones inalámbricas, bien estén éstas comprendidas en el área de Ia telefonía móvil, sector enormemente extendido y desarrollado, bien pertenezcan a otro tipo de comunicaciones también habituales aunque menos frecuentes, tales como dispositivos buscapersonas, emisión de señales inalámbricas de aviso por parte de dispositivos de alarma, de medición, etc.The invention falls within the sector of devices and accessories for wireless communications, whether they are included in the area of mobile telephony, a highly extended and developed sector, or belong to other types of communications that are also common but less frequent, such as paging devices. , emission of wireless warning signals by alarm, measuring devices, etc.
Estado de Ia técnicaState of the art
Actualmente Ia telefonía móvil ha alcanzado un enorme grado de difusión y desarrollo, habiéndose transformado el teléfono móvil en una herramienta común y, en algunos casos, imprescindible de Ia vida cotidiana.Currently, mobile telephony has reached an enormous degree of diffusion and development, the mobile phone having been transformed into a common and, in some cases, essential tool of everyday life.
El amplio avance llevado a cabo en Ia telefonía móvil ha venido acompañado por el desarrollo de nuevos accesorios y estándares de comunicación inalámbrica, algunos utilizables en el ámbito de rangos de alcance locales, así como por una miniaturización cada vez mayor de los circuitos electrónicos y otros componentes involucrados.The extensive progress made in mobile telephony has been accompanied by the development of new wireless communication accessories and standards, some usable in the scope of local ranges, as well as an increasing miniaturization of electronic circuits and others components involved.
Asimismo, en relación a otro tipo de usos de las comunicaciones inalámbricas distintos de Ia telefonía móvil, cada vez es más corriente Ia utilización de las mismas para Ia transmisión de avisos relacionados con gran variedad de eventos, habiéndose alcanzado también, en estos dispositivos, un grado cada vez mayor de integración y miniaturización.Likewise, in relation to other types of wireless communications uses other than mobile telephony, it is increasingly common to use them for the transmission of notices related to a wide variety of events, having also achieved, in these devices, a increasing degree of integration and miniaturization.
Existen, asimismo, diferentes mecanismos y accesorios para el aviso de Ia recepción de una señal modulada perteneciente a una trasmisión inalámbrica (de telefonía móvil o de otro tipo), centrándose principalmente en Ia emisión de señales sonoras, luminosas o en Ia vibración de un dispositivo. Sin embargo, existen situaciones donde ninguno de las alternativas actuales en el empleo de estos mecanismos y accesorios constituye una solución completamente satisfactoria. Algunas requieren, bien que el terminal móvil de destino se encuentre en todo momento en el campo visual o auditivo de Ia persona (caso de mecanismos de aviso luminosos o sonoros en el terminal), o bien que se encuentren en permanente contacto físico (caso de mecanismos con vibración). Otras requieren Ia utilización de un accesorio o aparato adicional específico (caso de auriculares inalámbricos, u otros) cuya presencia en periodos en los que no existe recepción, emisión o intercambio de señales puede volverse incómoda, dar lugar a una distracción innecesaria, e incluso resultar inviable.There are also different mechanisms and accessories for the notification of the reception of a modulated signal belonging to a wireless transmission (mobile or other telephony), focusing mainly on the emission of sound, light or vibration signals of a device . However, there are situations where none of the current alternatives in the use of these mechanisms and accessories constitutes a completely satisfactory solution. Some require, well that the Mobile terminal of destination is at all times in the visual or auditory field of the person (case of light or sound warning mechanisms in the terminal), or that they are in permanent physical contact (case of mechanisms with vibration). Others require the use of a specific accessory or additional device (case of wireless headphones, or others) whose presence in periods when there is no reception, transmission or exchange of signals can become uncomfortable, lead to unnecessary distraction, and even result non-viable.
Descripción detallada de Ia invenciónDetailed description of the invention
La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo que avisa de Ia recepción de señales inalámbricas de telefonía móvil, buscapersonas o de otro tipo, mediante Ia emisión de señales sonoras, luminosas o vibratorias y que puede ser acoplado, sujetado o incorporado a Ia montura de unas gafas de formato habitual.The present invention relates to a device that warns of the reception of wireless signals from mobile telephony, pagers or other, by means of the emission of sound, light or vibratory signals and that can be coupled, attached or incorporated into the frame of some glasses of usual format.
Mediante Ia utilización de este dispositivo se facilita a aquellas personas que utilicen gafas, el ser capaces de conocer, en todo momento, si se está produciendo Ia recepción de una determinada señal (de telefonía móvil o de otro tipo) en Ia que puedan estar interesados, evitándose así Ia necesidad de mantener contacto físico con el terminal móvil receptor, evitando Ia necesidad de mantener éste en el campo visual o auditivo y evitando que otro accesorio adicional que cumpla esta función específica produzca distracción o interferencia con Ia actividad que se realiza.Through the use of this device, it is provided to those who wear glasses, to be able to know, at all times, if the reception of a certain signal (mobile or other telephony) in which they may be interested is taking place. , thus avoiding the need to maintain physical contact with the receiving mobile terminal, avoiding the need to maintain it in the visual or auditory field and avoiding that another additional accessory that fulfills this specific function produces distraction or interference with the activity that is performed.
De este modo, el reducido peso y tamaño del dispositivo objeto de Ia invención, así como su forma y ubicación (en Ia patilla, o en el frontal), hacen posible que no se requiera ninguna alteración en el modo habitual de utilización de las gafas, que no haya interferencia con las actividades cotidianas de Ia persona que Io usa, y que su presencia pase prácticamente desapercibida para ésta (a pesar de estar situado dentro de su campo de visión, Ia atención visual que se Ie presta al dispositivo no difiere de Ia que se presta habitualmente a Ia montura de unas gafas por parte de Ia persona que las porta).In this way, the reduced weight and size of the device object of the invention, as well as its shape and location (on the pin, or on the front), make it possible that no alteration is required in the usual way of using the glasses , that there is no interference with the daily activities of the person who uses it, and that their presence is virtually unnoticed by the person (despite being located within their field of vision, the visual attention given to the device does not differ from The one that usually lends itself to the frame of glasses by the person who wears them).
En este sentido, hay que añadir, además, que Ia presencia de este dispositivo no obstaculiza Ia normal articulación de cierre y apertura de las patillas. Esto es posible debido a Ia ausencia de contacto físico entre el mecanismo de bisagra y el dispositivo, así como por Ia localización de éste en Ia cara interior de Ia varilla o en el frontal, contando el dispositivo objeto de Ia invención con un grosor inferior a Ia distancia mínima habitual entre Ia superficie interior de Ia patilla plegada y el frontal (esta última distancia viene a ser habitualmente mayor que 7 u 8 milímetros, mientras que el dispositivo puede tener un grosor típicamente inferior a 5 milímetros).In this sense, it must be added, in addition, that the presence of this device does not hinder the normal articulation of closing and opening of the pins. This is possible due to the absence of physical contact between the hinge mechanism and the device, as well as by its location on the inner face of the rod or on the front, with the device object of the invention having a thickness less than The distance usual minimum between the inner surface of the folded pin and the front one (this last distance is usually greater than 7 or 8 millimeters, while the device can be typically less than 5 millimeters thick).
En relación a los componentes que Io conforman, el dispositivo comprende, al menos, una antena, un circuito electrónico receptor o emisor-receptor, una pila, batería o célula fotovoltaica, un mecanismo de aviso luminoso, sonoro o vibratorio, y uno o varios mecanismos de sujeción o anclaje.In relation to the components that comprise it, the device comprises, at least, an antenna, an electronic receiver or transmitter-receiver circuit, a battery, battery or photovoltaic cell, a light, sound or vibratory warning mechanism, and one or more clamping or anchoring mechanisms.
Estos componentes pueden distribuirse típicamente en dos partes claramente diferenciadas. La primera o cuerpo del dispositivo incluye una carcasa (que puede ser flexible) en Ia que se hallan alojados, al menos, Ia pila, batería o célula fotovoltaica, el circuito receptor o emisor-receptor y el dispositivo emisor de luz, sonido o vibración. La segunda parte está constituida por una antena, unida por un extremo al cuerpo, y que, a fin de adaptarse a Ia forma de Ia montura, puede también ser flexible o tener forma de hilo. El cuerpo del dispositivo se halla habitualmente ubicado en el frontal de Ia montura o en Ia parte delantera de Ia patilla, en su cara interior, por detrás de Ia articulación de ésta con el frontal. La antena se sitúa usualmente a continuación, discurriendo paralela al flanco interior de Ia varilla, en Ia zona comprendida entre el cuerpo del dispositivo y Ia zona de contacto de Ia piel con Ia patilla. Pueden darse también otros diseños en los que Ia antena tenga otras orientaciones, en los que ésta esté integrada en el cuerpo del dispositivo, o en los que éste tenga una ubicación diferente.These components can typically be distributed in two distinct parts. The first or body of the device includes a housing (which can be flexible) in which at least the photovoltaic cell, battery or cell, the receiver or transmitter-receiver circuit and the light, sound or vibration emitting device are housed . The second part is constituted by an antenna, connected at one end to the body, and which, in order to adapt to the shape of the frame, can also be flexible or in the form of a wire. The body of the device is usually located on the front of the mount or on the front of the pin, on its inner face, behind the articulation thereof with the front. The antenna is usually located next, running parallel to the inner flank of the rod, in the area between the body of the device and the area of contact of the skin with the pin. There may also be other designs in which the antenna has other orientations, in which it is integrated in the body of the device, or in which it has a different location.
En relación al circuito electrónico receptor o emisor-receptor, éste cuenta con un sistema para Ia decodificación e interpretación de señales electromagnéticas moduladas que incluye un interfaz compatible con los estándares y protocolos de comunicación inalámbrica que utiliza Ia señal modulada de interés (GSM u otras), permitiendo diferenciar ésta de todas las señales del mismo tipo que alcanzan Ia antena del dispositivo.In relation to the electronic receiver or transmitter-receiver circuit, it has a system for decoding and interpretation of modulated electromagnetic signals that includes an interface compatible with the standards and protocols of wireless communication using the modulated signal of interest (GSM or others) , allowing to differentiate it from all signals of the same type that reach the antenna of the device.
La decodificación de Ia señal recibida permite obtener, de Ia misma, Ia información relativa al receptor de destino al que va dirigida (por ejemplo: el número de teléfono móvil y operador de telefonía al que se realiza una llamada, en caso de ser éste el evento que se quiere identificar). De este modo, cuando una señal inalámbrica del tipo deseado es recibida a través de Ia antena del dispositivo, ésta es decodificada en el circuito receptor, o emisor-receptor, produciéndose Ia adquisición de los campos de identificación del receptor de destino. A continuación se comparan estos campos con los datos relativos al destinatario de interés que se hallan almacenados en Ia memoria del circuito. En caso de coincidir, se produce Ia activación del dispositivo emisor de Ia señal de aviso.The decoding of the received signal allows obtaining, from the same, the information relative to the destination receiver to which it is addressed (for example: the mobile phone number and telephone operator to which a call is made, in case this is the event that you want to identify). Thus, when a wireless signal of the desired type is received through the antenna of the device, it is decoded in the receiver circuit, or transmitter-receiver, the acquisition of the identification fields of the destination receiver taking place. These fields are then compared with the data related to the recipient of interest that are stored in the circuit memory. In case of coincidence, the activation of the emitting device of the warning signal occurs.
La actualización en memoria de Ia información del destinatario de interés puede realizarse antes, durante, o con posterioridad al proceso de ensamblaje. De este modo, se puede optar por programar esta información en memoria antes del montaje, o por facilitar que ésta pueda ser actualizada posteriormente por el fabricante, distribuidor, operador de telefonía móvil, usuario final, etc, siendo ésta última opción Ia que proporciona mayor flexibilidad y versatilidad.The update in memory of the information of the recipient of interest can be done before, during, or after the assembly process. In this way, you can choose to program this information in memory before assembly, or to facilitate that it can be updated later by the manufacturer, distributor, mobile phone operator, end user, etc., the latter option being the one that provides the greatest flexibility and versatility
En función de Ia forma elegida para actualizar, en cualquier momento, Ia información relativa al destinatario de interés, se han elaborado dos alternativas de diseño bien diferenciadas.Depending on the form chosen to update, at any time, the information related to the recipient of interest, two differentiated design alternatives have been developed.
La primera alternativa de diseño de Ia invención introduce en el propio dispositivo de aviso los mecanismos adecuados para adquirir estos códigos mediante intercambio inalámbrico de señales de alcance local (por ejemplo mediante tecnología Bluetooth o Wibree). Para ello se utiliza en el mismo un circuito electrónico emisor-receptor de señales de este tipo, software específico y una antena e interfaz compatibles con los protocolos y estándares involucrados.The first design alternative of the invention introduces in the warning device itself the appropriate mechanisms for acquiring these codes by wireless exchange of signals of local scope (for example by Bluetooth or Wibree technology). For this, an electronic transmitter-receiver circuit of signals of this type, specific software and an antenna and interface compatible with the protocols and standards involved are used.
El mencionado intercambio de datos incluye, por un lado, al dispositivo de aviso y por otro, bien al terminal móvil de destino de Ia señal de interés o bien al dispositivo emisor de ésta (dependiendo del tipo de señal para cuya recepción se ha diseñado el dispositivo de aviso). Este proceso consiste, típicamente, en Ia emisión por el primero de una señal solicitando información sobre el destinatario de interés o algún tio de códigos de "anclaje", y en Ia emisión por parte del segundo de una respuesta incluyendo esta información. La comunicación concluye con el intercambio de mensajes de confirmación de contenido y recepción.The aforementioned data exchange includes, on the one hand, the warning device and on the other, either the mobile terminal of destination of the signal of interest or the device that emits it (depending on the type of signal for which reception has been designed the warning device). This process typically consists in the issuance by the first of a signal requesting information about the recipient of interest or some type of "anchor" codes, and in the issuance by the second of a response including this information. The communication concludes with the exchange of content confirmation messages and reception.
Para que este intercambio pueda llevarse a cabo es necesario que el teléfono móvil, el terminal de destino, o, en su caso, el emisor correspondiente, disponga de un interfaz adecuado para este intercambio inalámbrico de datos. En el caso de teléfonos móviles, Ia gran mayoría de los aparatos a Ia venta en el mercado disponen de una capacidad de comunicación inalámbrica local que se añade a Ia tecnología de comunicación mediante redes celulares. En el caso de aparatos inalámbricos emisores de alarmas o indicadores de eventos, es habitual, asimismo, que cuenten con esta capacidad, pudiendo, en caso contrario, ser incorporada eventualmente a su diseño. Asimismo, puede ser necesaria Ia inclusión de aplicaciones adicionales de software en los mismos, aplicaciones que, en el caso de teléfonos móviles, son similares a las que se utilizan habitualmente para su sincronización con accesorios inalámbricos (tales como, por ejemplo, auriculares Bluetooth).In order for this exchange to take place, it is necessary that the mobile phone, the destination terminal, or, where appropriate, the corresponding sender, have an appropriate interface for this wireless data exchange. In the case of mobile phones, The great majority of the devices for sale in the market have a local wireless communication capability that is added to the communication technology through cellular networks. In the case of wireless devices emitting alarms or event indicators, it is also common to have this capacity, and may otherwise be incorporated into its design. Likewise, it may be necessary to include additional software applications in them, applications that, in the case of mobile phones, are similar to those commonly used for synchronization with wireless accessories (such as, for example, Bluetooth headphones) .
En este sentido, es necesario destacar, que, en caso de existir protocolos distintos para Ia emisión y recepción de Ia señal modulada de interés (por ejemplo, caso de una señal de telefonía móvil GSM) y para Ia comunicación de Ia información para Ia comparación del destinatario de Ia misma (uso, por ejemplo, de otra tecnología inalámbrica para este proceso), las interfaces del circuito emisor-receptor y Ia antena deben ser compatibles con ambas tecnologías.In this sense, it is necessary to emphasize that, in case there are different protocols for the emission and reception of the modulated signal of interest (for example, in the case of a GSM mobile phone signal) and for the communication of the information for comparison of the recipient of the same (use, for example, of another wireless technology for this process), the interfaces of the transmitter-receiver circuit and the antenna must be compatible with both technologies.
La segunda alternativa de diseño de Ia invención implica, por el contrario, la utilización de un dispositivo auxiliar con el fin de adquirir Ia información relativa al destinatario de interés. Mediante esta segunda opción puede reducirse el tamaño y el peso del dispositivo de aviso al disminuir el número y volumen de los elementos que Io conforman, conectándose ambos dispositivos únicamente cuando se desea inicializar o actualizar dicha información en este último. La conexión se realiza mediante cable o mediante otro procedimiento físico de intercambio de datos.The second design alternative of the invention implies, on the contrary, the use of an auxiliary device in order to acquire the information related to the recipient of interest. With this second option, the size and weight of the warning device can be reduced by decreasing the number and volume of the elements that comprise it, connecting both devices only when it is desired to initialize or update said information in the latter. The connection is made by cable or by another physical data exchange procedure.
En esta segunda alternativa, es necesario que el dispositivo de aviso incorpore, a su vez, un interfaz para el intercambio físico de datos, mientras que, en relación al circuito electrónico de éste, es suficiente con que sea del tipo receptor y con que sea compatible con los estándares y protocolos de comunicación inalámbrica utilizados por Ia señal de interés. En este sentido, no es necesario que sea emisor de señales inalámbricas, ni que sea compatible con estándares y protocolos inalámbricos distintos de los de Ia señal a identificar.In this second alternative, it is necessary that the warning device incorporates, in turn, an interface for the physical exchange of data, while, in relation to the electronic circuit of the latter, it is sufficient that it be of the receiving type and that it be compatible with the standards and protocols of wireless communication used by the signal of interest. In this sense, it is not necessary to be a transmitter of wireless signals, nor to be compatible with wireless standards and protocols other than those of the signal to be identified.
El dispositivo auxiliar, a su vez, puede obtener Ia información del destinatario para su actualización en memoria a través de diversas vías, entre ellas: su introducción manual a través de un interfaz adecuado (como por ejemplo un teclado), el intercambio de Ia misma por vía inalámbrica según un proceso similar al descrito anteriormente, o mediante otras modalidades de entrada y captura de datos.The auxiliary device, in turn, can obtain the information of the recipient for its update in memory through various ways, including: its manual introduction through a suitable interface (such as a keyboard), the exchange of the same wirelessly according to a process similar to that described above, or through other methods of data entry and capture.
Típicamente, este segundo dispositivo incluye, además del circuito electrónico, una pila, batería, célula fotovoltaica, o en su caso un transformador para conectar a una fuente de alimentación de voltaje, un interfaz para intercambio físico de datos, un cable que se conecta al anterior, un interfaz y una antena para comunicaciones inalámbricas de rango local (si se opta por éstas), un teclado (si se prefiere Ia captura de información a través del mismo), o bien algún otro tipo de dispositivo o mecanismo para Ia entrada o captación de datos.Typically, this second device includes, in addition to the electronic circuit, a battery, battery, photovoltaic cell, or if necessary a transformer to connect to a voltage power supply, an interface for physical data exchange, a cable that connects to the above, an interface and an antenna for wireless communications of local range (if these are chosen), a keyboard (if the capture of information through it is preferred), or some other type of device or mechanism for the input or data collection
En relación a la señal de aviso emitida por el dispositivo tras Ia recepción de Ia señal modulada de interés, en caso de elegirse el diseño en el que ésta es de naturaleza luminosa, se puede incluir, a su vez, una superficie reflectante, opaca o una fibra transmisora de luz para asegurar que ésta es emitida únicamente en Ia dirección del ángulo sólido, medido desde el punto de emisión, necesario para que sea percibida por el ojo de Ia persona que Io usa, evitando así que pueda causar distracción a otras personas.In relation to the warning signal emitted by the device after the reception of the modulated signal of interest, if the design in which it is of a light nature is chosen, a reflective, opaque or reflective surface can be included a light transmitting fiber to ensure that it is emitted only in the direction of the solid angle, measured from the point of emission, necessary for it to be perceived by the eye of the person using it, thus preventing it from causing distraction to other people .
Si se opta, por otro lado, por un diseño con señal de aviso de naturaleza sonora, se puede incluir, en el dispositivo de aviso o en el dispositivo auxiliar, un mecanismo para Ia regulación del volumen de ésta (mediante, por ejemplo, el desplazamiento de una pequeña rueda o pestaña).If, on the other hand, a design with a warning signal of a sound nature is chosen, a mechanism can be included in the warning device or in the auxiliary device (for example, the displacement of a small wheel or tab).
En Io referente a los mecanismos de sujeción y anclaje, estos pueden adherirse al frontal de Ia montura o situarse longitudinalmente a Io largo del cuerpo del dispositivo y de Ia antena para su sujeción a Ia patilla. Debido a Ia necesidad de hacerlos compatibles con Ia gran variedad de grosores y curvaturas con los que cuentan los distintos diseños de gafas, estos mecanismos deberán ser, típicamente, o bien mecanismos de sujeción mediante contacto (superficies autoadhesivas o de tipo Velero) o bien, en caso de utilizarse mecanismos mecánicos para el anclaje, ser de tipo elástico o flexible (pinzas, tenazas, gomas, cintas, correas, etc.). Hay que destacar que el reducido peso y tamaño del cuerpo y antena del dispositivo facilita que estos mecanismos de sujeción sean, a su vez, de reducido volumen, peso y tamaño, pudiendo, además, escogerse colores y formas que hacen que su presencia pase prácticamente desapercibida en el conjunto de las gafas. Existe, asimismo, otra posibilidad de diseño que prescinde de Ia separación entre montura y dispositivo de aviso mediante Ia integración de ambos. En ésta última alternativa el fabricante de gafas puede realizar Ia incorporación del dispositivo directamente a una de las patillas o al frontal. En este diseño, especialmente adecuado en gafas con patillas o frontales voluminosos, el dispositivo puede quedar perfectamente encastrado en el interior de Ia varilla, discurriendo Ia antena a Io largo de Ia misma, quedando a Ia vista únicamente unos pocos elementos, tales como Ia tapa de acceso a Ia pila o batería, el emisor de luz o los orificios correspondientes al emisor de sonido, y Ia clavija para su conexión con el dispositivo auxiliar (sería recomendable el uso de este segundo dispositivo en esta configuración con el fin de aligerar de elementos al dispositivo de aviso, incorporando también en el dispositivo auxiliar los controles relativos al volumen de sonido y a Ia selección de tipo de señal, si los hubiera).Regarding the clamping and anchoring mechanisms, these can be attached to the front of the frame or placed longitudinally along the body of the device and the antenna for its attachment to the pin. Due to the need to make them compatible with the wide variety of thicknesses and curvatures that the different spectacle designs have, these mechanisms should be, typically, either contact contact mechanisms (self-adhesive or sailboat-type surfaces) or, if mechanical mechanisms are used for anchoring, be elastic or flexible (clamps, tongs, rubber bands, belts, belts, etc.). It should be noted that the reduced weight and size of the body and antenna of the device facilitates that these clamping mechanisms are, in turn, of reduced volume, weight and size, being able, in addition, to choose colors and shapes that make their presence practically pass unnoticed in the set of glasses. There is also another design possibility that dispenses with the separation between frame and warning device by integrating both. In this last alternative, the manufacturer of glasses can make the incorporation of the device directly to one of the pins or to the front. In this design, especially suitable in glasses with bulbs or side panels, the device can be perfectly embedded inside the rod, the antenna running along the same, leaving only a few elements, such as the lid, visible. of access to the battery or battery, the light emitter or the holes corresponding to the sound emitter, and the plug for its connection with the auxiliary device (it would be advisable to use this second device in this configuration in order to lighten elements to the warning device, also incorporating in the auxiliary device the controls relating to the volume of sound and the selection of signal type, if any).
Finalmente, cabe resaltar una aplicación específica de Ia invención en su configuración de aviso mediante señal luminosa, siendo ésta su utilización por personas con discapacidad auditiva, que hagan uso de algún tipo de gafas en su vida cotidiana, como medio de estar informados, en todo momento, de Ia recepción de mensajes SMS en su teléfono móvil.Finally, it is possible to highlight a specific application of the invention in its warning configuration by means of a light signal, this being its use by people with hearing impairment, who make use of some type of glasses in their daily life, as a means of being informed, in everything moment, of the reception of SMS messages on your mobile phone.

Descripción de una realización preferidaDescription of a preferred embodiment
A continuación se describe una realización preferida de Ia invención. En ella se incluye un ejemplo de cada una de las dos alternativas principales en función de Ia utilización, o no, de un dispositivo auxiliar. También se muestran cuatro ejemplos de alternativas en función de los mecanismos de sujeción elegidos.Next, a preferred embodiment of the invention is described. It includes an example of each of the two main alternatives depending on the use, or not, of an auxiliary device. Four examples of alternatives are also shown depending on the clamping mechanisms chosen.
En la figura 1 se puede observar un ejemplo de Ia ubicación, forma y componentes principales de una realización del dispositivo de aviso mediante emisión de señal luminosa. Este ejemplo incorpora un alto grado de miniaturización y tanto el cuerpo del dispositivo (3, 4, 5 y 6), como Ia antena en forma de hilo (7) se mantienen adheridos a Ia cara interior de Ia patilla derecha (8) de unas gafas correctoras mediante una superficie autoadhesiva.Figure 1 shows an example of the location, form and main components of an embodiment of the warning device by means of light signal emission. This example incorporates a high degree of miniaturization and both the body of the device (3, 4, 5 and 6), and the wire-shaped antenna (7) are adhered to the inner face of the right leg (8) of some corrective glasses using a self-adhesive surface.
En las figuras 2 y 3 puede observarse en unas vistas ampliadas, lateral e inferior, respectivamente, como el cuerpo del dispositivo se encuentra situado justo a continuación del mecanismo de bisagra de las gafas (2) y cómo cuenta con un emisor de luz (3) que ilumina únicamente en un determinado ángulo, gracias a Ia presencia de una película reflectante adecuada (4) en los bordes del emisor. Asimismo, puede observarse Ia parte de Ia carcasa que recubre Ia pila (5) y Ia parte que rodea al circuito emisor-receptor (6).In Figures 2 and 3 it can be seen in enlarged, side and bottom views, respectively, as the body of the device is located just at continuation of the hinge mechanism of the glasses (2) and how it has a light emitter (3) that illuminates only at a certain angle, thanks to the presence of a suitable reflective film (4) at the edges of the emitter. Likewise, the part of the housing covering the battery (5) and the part surrounding the transmitter-receiver circuit (6) can be observed.
En Ia figura 4 (vista exterior lateral del dispositivo) se observa con más detalle Ia presencia de un interruptor de encendido y apagado del mismo (13), así como de una hendidura (12) a través de Ia cual, mediante un punzón u objeto afilado se puede accionar el reinicio y borrado en memoria de los datos referentes al destinatario de Ia señal de interés (11). Del mismo modo, se observa cómo Ia adquisición de esta información se realiza directamente desde el dispositivo de aviso mediante intercambio de señales inalámbricas (9 y 10), siendo éste un ejemplo de Ia primera alternativa de diseño, en Ia cual esta información se obtiene sin necesidad de recurrir a un dispositivo auxiliar.In Figure 4 (external side view of the device) the presence of an on and off switch thereof (13) is observed in more detail, as well as a slit (12) through which, by means of a punch or object sharpening can restart the reset and erase in memory of the data referring to the recipient of the signal of interest (11). In the same way, it is observed how the acquisition of this information is carried out directly from the warning device through the exchange of wireless signals (9 and 10), this being an example of the first design alternative, in which this information is obtained without need to resort to an auxiliary device.
En Ia figura 5 se aprecia el esquema de componentes según el ejemplo de Ia figura 4. Se puede observar como este esquema se desarrolla alrededor del circuito emisor- receptor (14) que cuenta entre otros, con una memoria, un circuito comparador y un generador-receptor de señales. También se observa Ia utilización de dos interfaces distintas de comunicación inalámbrica, una que usa protocolos y estándares de rango local (17) para el intercambio y actualización en memoria de Ia información del destinatario, y otra (18) que se utiliza para Ia decodificación de Ia señal de interés. En este sentido, se observa que Ia antena utilizada (7) es compatible con ambas tecnologías. Asimismo, el dispositivo incluye, también, una pila (15) que en este caso puede ser de tipo botón, un diodo LED emisor de luz roja (16), un interruptor de encendido / apagado (20) y un dispositivo (19) para accionar el borrado y reinicio de los datos del destinatario de interés en memoria.Figure 5 shows the scheme of components according to the example of Figure 4. It can be seen how this scheme is developed around the transmitter-receiver circuit (14) that has among others, a memory, a comparator circuit and a generator -signal receiver. It is also observed the use of two different wireless communication interfaces, one that uses protocols and standards of local range (17) for the exchange and update in memory of the recipient's information, and another (18) that is used for the decoding of The signal of interest. In this sense, it is observed that the antenna used (7) is compatible with both technologies. Also, the device also includes a battery (15) which in this case can be of the button type, a red LED emitting diode (16), an on / off switch (20) and a device (19) for activate the deletion and reset of the data of the recipient of interest in memory.
Un ejemplo de Ia segunda alternativa principal de diseño se muestra Ia figura 6. En éste, Ia captación de datos en el dispositivo auxiliar se realiza también mediante intercambio inalámbrico de rango local. De este modo, se puede apreciar en el dispositivo auxiliar, Ia carcasa que recubre el circuito emisor-receptor (102), Ia cubierta extraíble que recubre Ia batería y que puede ser retirada para facilitar su sustitución (104), el interruptor de encendido y apagado (103), y Ia antena para intercambio local (105). Asimismo, se puede observar Ia presencia de una clavija en el dispositivo de aviso (21), de otra en el dispositivo auxiliar (101) y de un cable para su interconexión (100). De Ia misma manera, se puede observar cómo Ia señal de interés (11) sigue siendo recibida a través de Ia antena del dispositivo de aviso (7), mientras que las señales (9 y 10) correspondientes al intercambio de información sobre el destinatario de Ia primera se emiten y reciben a través de Ia antena (105) del dispositivo auxiliar.An example of the second main design alternative is shown in Figure 6. In this, the data collection in the auxiliary device is also performed by wireless exchange of local range. In this way, it can be seen in the auxiliary device, the housing that covers the transmitter-receiver circuit (102), the removable cover that covers the battery and that can be removed to facilitate its replacement (104), the ignition switch and off (103), and the antenna for local exchange (105). Likewise, the presence of a plug in the warning device (21), another in the auxiliary device (101) and a cable for interconnection can be observed (100) In the same way, it can be seen how the signal of interest (11) is still received through the antenna of the warning device (7), while the signals (9 and 10) corresponding to the exchange of information about the recipient of The first one is emitted and received through the antenna (105) of the auxiliary device.
En Ia figura 7 se aprecia el esquema de componentes según el ejemplo de Ia figura 6. En este diagrama se aprecian tanto las componentes del dispositivo de aviso: pila (15), antena (7), LED (16), circuito receptor (22), interfaz para Ia recepción de Ia señal de interés (18), dispositivo para inicialización de datos (19), interruptor (20) e interfaz para el intercambio físico de datos (23); como las del dispositivo auxiliar: pila (107), circuito emisor-receptor (106), interfaz de comunicación inalámbrica de rango local (17), antena (105), interruptor (109) e interfaz de intercambio físico de datos (108).Figure 7 shows the scheme of components according to the example of Figure 6. This diagram shows both the components of the warning device: battery (15), antenna (7), LED (16), receiver circuit (22 ), interface for the reception of the signal of interest (18), device for initialization of data (19), switch (20) and interface for the physical exchange of data (23); such as the auxiliary device: battery (107), transmitter-receiver circuit (106), wireless local communication interface (17), antenna (105), switch (109) and physical data exchange interface (108).
La adquisición de Ia información para Ia comparación de destinatarios mediante comunicación inalámbrica de rango local (208), así como Ia posterior recepción de Ia señal de interés y Ia emisión de Ia señal de aviso (211) se describen en Ia figura 8. En este diagrama se reflejan los pasos comunes a las dos alternativas de diseño descritas anteriormente. Este proceso variará para ambas únicamente en Ia ubicación física (dispositivo de aviso o dispositivo auxiliar) de los componentes involucrados. De este modo, un intercambio típico entre un dispositivo y un teléfono móvil, incluirá los siguientes pasos: el circuito emisor-receptor genera una señal solicitando el código de identificación de Ia señal de interés (201), el teléfono móvil envía esta información (202), y el circuito verifica el formato e información recibidos (203). En caso de que Ia información sea incompleta o el formato sea inválido, el circuito emisor-receptor genera una señal indicando el error y solicitando el reenvío de Ia información (204). Si por el contrario, el formato es válido y Ia información está completa, el circuito solicita una confirmación (205) de los datos recibidos. Tras Ia confirmación por parte del teléfono móvil (206), el circuito procede a actualizar en Ia memoria Ia información relativa a Ia señal de interés (207). Finalmente, cuando el dispositivo de aviso recibe una señal (11), el circuito de éste compara el código de identificación memorizado con el de Ia señal entrante (209). En caso de que Ia identificación resulte positiva, se activa el dispositivo emisor de Ia señal de aviso (210).The acquisition of the information for the comparison of recipients by means of wireless communication of local range (208), as well as the subsequent reception of the signal of interest and the emission of the warning signal (211) are described in Figure 8. In this diagram reflects the common steps to the two design alternatives described above. This process will vary for both only in the physical location (warning device or auxiliary device) of the components involved. In this way, a typical exchange between a device and a mobile phone will include the following steps: the transmitter-receiver circuit generates a signal requesting the identification code of the signal of interest (201), the mobile phone sends this information (202 ), and the circuit verifies the format and information received (203). In case the information is incomplete or the format is invalid, the transmitter-receiver circuit generates a signal indicating the error and requesting the resending of the information (204). If, on the contrary, the format is valid and the information is complete, the circuit requests a confirmation (205) of the received data. After the confirmation by the mobile phone (206), the circuit proceeds to update in the memory the information related to the signal of interest (207). Finally, when the warning device receives a signal (11), the circuit of the latter compares the stored identification code with that of the incoming signal (209). In case the identification is positive, the emitting device of the warning signal (210) is activated.
En Ia figura 9 se muestran diversos emisores posibles de Ia señal de interés, tales como una antena de telefonía móvil (301), un dispositivo de alarma emisor de señales inalámbricas (302), un dispositivo emisor de señales buscapersonas (303), o un teléfono móvil (300) (caso de emisión de señales de rango local en respuesta a Ia recepción, por parte de éste, de una señal de telefonía móvil).Figure 9 shows various possible transmitters of the signal of interest, such as a mobile telephone antenna (301), a wireless signal emitting alarm device (302), a paging signal emitting device (303), or a mobile telephone (300) (case of emission of local range signals in response to the reception, by the latter, of a mobile telephone signal).
En relación a los mecanismos de sujeción, a continuación se describen cuatro ejemplos de alternativas distintas.In relation to the clamping mechanisms, four examples of different alternatives are described below.
En Ia figura 10 se muestra, mediante una vista inferior ampliada, un esquema del mecanismo de sujeción consistente en Ia utilización de una lámina doblemente autoadhesiva que se sitúa entre el dispositivo de aviso (403) y Ia cara interior de Ia patilla (404). Inicialmente esta lámina tiene las dos caras (401 y 402) recubiertas por hojas protectoras (400) que han de retirarse para posibilitar Ia unión del dispositivo, Ia lámina y Ia montura. Este mecanismo tiene Ia ventaja de que, aunque Ia lámina con superficies autoadhesivas es de un solo uso, puede ser fácilmente sustituida por otra.Figure 10 shows, through an enlarged bottom view, a scheme of the clamping mechanism consisting of the use of a doubly self-adhesive sheet that is placed between the warning device (403) and the inner face of the pin (404). Initially this sheet has the two faces (401 and 402) covered by protective sheets (400) that have to be removed to enable the joining of the device, the sheet and the mount. This mechanism has the advantage that, although the sheet with self-adhesive surfaces is for single use, it can easily be replaced by another.
Con respecto a Ia lámina doblemente autoadhesiva, hay que destacar una particularidad en relación a Ia superficie de Ia misma que se coloca en contacto con el dispositivo de aviso. Puesto que Ia superficie que presenta Ia antena es de una anchura muy reducida, se presenta Ia dificultad de que, en el caso de que Ia lámina cuente, en su zona de contacto con Ia antena, con unas dimensiones similares a Ia misma, su utilización se hace extremadamente complicada y engorrosa. Asimismo, es necesario evitar que un área importante de Ia superficie adhesiva quede en contacto directo con el aire para evitar adherencias involuntarias o acumulación de polvo. De este modo, se utiliza una lámina que es más ancha que Ia antena en su zona de contacto con ésta, pero que en Ia cara en Ia que entra en contacto con el dispositivo, únicamente cuenta con adherente en una superficie coincidente con Ia silueta de éste (incluyéndose en Ia silueta Ia forma de Ia antena). Por el contrario, en Ia cara que entra en contacto con Ia montura, Ia superficie adhesiva ocupa toda el área de Ia lámina puesto que, al ser ésta de naturaleza flexible, puede adaptarse el sobrante a Ia forma de Ia montura en esa zona.With respect to the doubly self-adhesive sheet, it is necessary to highlight a particularity in relation to the surface thereof which is placed in contact with the warning device. Since the surface presented by the antenna is of a very small width, the difficulty is presented that, in the case that the sheet has, in its contact area with the antenna, with dimensions similar to the same, its use It becomes extremely complicated and cumbersome. Likewise, it is necessary to avoid that an important area of the adhesive surface is in direct contact with the air to avoid involuntary adhesions or dust accumulation. In this way, a sheet is used that is wider than the antenna in its area of contact with it, but that on the face in which it comes into contact with the device, it only has an adherent on a surface coinciding with the silhouette of this (including the shape of the antenna in the silhouette). On the contrary, on the face that comes into contact with the frame, the adhesive surface occupies the entire area of the sheet since, being this of a flexible nature, the excess can be adapted to the shape of the frame in that area.
Otro ejemplo de mecanismo de sujeción incorpora directamente una superficie autoadhesiva al propio dispositivo, en su área de contacto (500), tal y como se muestra en Ia figura 11. Esta superficie cuenta, a su vez, con una lámina protectora (400) que ha de retirarse para descubrir el elemento adhesivo y posibilitar su unión con Ia cara interior de Ia patilla (404). El mecanismo de sujeción que se muestra en el esquema de Ia figura 12 consiste en Ia utilización de dos superficies tipo Velero. Una de ellas está incorporada al dispositivo en su área de contacto (602) y Ia otra (600) forma parte de una lámina con su cara posterior autoadhesiva (601). Al igual que en los casos anteriores, Ia superficie autoadhesiva cuenta con una cubierta protectora (400) que ha de ser retirada.Another example of a clamping mechanism directly incorporates a self-adhesive surface to the device itself, in its contact area (500), as shown in Figure 11. This surface has, in turn, a protective sheet (400) that It has to be removed to discover the adhesive element and allow its union with the inner face of the pin (404). The clamping mechanism shown in the scheme of Figure 12 consists of the use of two sailboat type surfaces. One of them is incorporated into the device in its contact area (602) and the other (600) is part of a sheet with its self-adhesive back face (601). As in the previous cases, the self-adhesive surface has a protective cover (400) that has to be removed.
Para finalizar, en las figuras 13, 14 y 15 se muestran tres vistas ampliadas (superior, lateral y corte frontal respectivamente) del dispositivo de aviso incorporando un mecanismo de sujeción mediante pinzas elásticas. En este ejemplo se cuenta con dos pinzas de goma semi-rígida, una para sujetar el cuerpo del dispositivo (700) y Ia otra, de menor tamaño, para sujetar Ia antena (701). Cada una de estas dos pinzas está formada por un brazo interior (704) y un brazo exterior (702), así como por una articulación elástica (703), que cuenta con un hilo metálico rígido arrollado circularmente, con los dos extremos libres dirigidos en Ia dirección de los brazos de Ia pinza, de modo que ejerce una tensión sobre las mismas. Finally, in figures 13, 14 and 15 three enlarged views (top, side and front section respectively) of the warning device are shown incorporating a clamping mechanism by means of elastic clamps. In this example, there are two semi-rigid rubber clamps, one to hold the body of the device (700) and the other, smaller, to hold the antenna (701). Each of these two clamps is formed by an inner arm (704) and an outer arm (702), as well as by an elastic joint (703), which has a circularly wound rigid metal wire, with the two free ends directed in The direction of the arms of the clamp, so that it exerts a tension on them.
