SECTOR TÉCNICOTECHNICAL SECTOR
La presente invención se encuadra en el sector técnico de las comunicaciones inalámbricas. Paralelamente, la invención está relacionada con dispositivos desarrollados para regular el acceso a oficinas, viviendas y similares (ie. porteros automáticos).The present invention falls within the technical sector of wireless communications. At the same time, the invention relates to devices developed to regulate access to offices, homes and the like (ie. Automatic doormen).
TÉCNICA ANTERIORPREVIOUS TECHNIQUE
La invención aporta una serie de mejoras y funciones añadidas de gran utilidad a los sistemas de audio-portería y video-portería, siendo además incorporable a las redes de portería existentes como un añadido, aprovechando toda la infraestructura anterior. Actualmente la práctica totalidad de las viviendas están equipadas con un sistema de audio-portería o video-portería electrónica. Sin embargo, pese a existir varias invenciones que tratan sobre el uso e implementación de terminales inalámbricos para la aplicación de portero electrónico, no se ha extendido su uso, ya sea por el coste que implica, por la funcionalidad limitada que aportan o por la necesidad de sustituir uno o varios equipos del sistema de portería. Los terminales de los sistemas de portería tradicional tienen tres funciones: timbre, comunicación con la placa de calle y abrir puerta. No existen antecedentes sobre un módulo inalámbrico Bluetooth o ZigBee añadido a portero electrónico para el empleo del teléfono móvil como interfaz de usuario y con función de contestador automático, buzón de voz y simulación de presencia. Existen una serie de invenciones que tratan sobre algunas mejoras del servicio básico de portería.The invention provides a series of improvements and added functions of great utility to the audio-porter and video-porter systems, being also incorporated into the existing porter networks as an add-on, taking advantage of all the previous infrastructure. Currently almost all homes are equipped with an audio-porter system or electronic video-porter. However, despite the existence of several inventions that deal with the use and implementation of wireless terminals for the electronic door entry application, its use has not been extended, either because of the cost involved, because of the limited functionality they provide or because of the need of replacing one or more equipment of the goal system. The terminals of the traditional goal systems have three functions: doorbell, communication with the entrance panel and door opening. There is no background on a Bluetooth or ZigBee wireless module added to the doorphone for the use of the mobile phone as a user interface and with an answering machine, voicemail and presence simulation. There are a number of inventions that deal with some improvements to the basic goal service.
El documento ES270915 trata sobre un portero electrónico accionado por línea telefónica. Consiste en usar la red telefónica interior de usuario y los teléfonos de la vivienda como infraestructura para sustituir el terminal del portero electrónico. Dicho modelo de utilidad no contempla la posibilidad de redirigir llamadas a terminales telefónicos externos a la vivienda .Document ES270915 is about an electronic door entry operated by telephone line. It consists of using the internal user telephone network and the home phones as infrastructure to replace the electronic door entry terminal. Said utility model does not contemplate the possibility of redirecting calls to telephone terminals outside the home.
El documento DE19739393 se refiere a un portero inalámbrico analógico convencional, mientras que el documento DE19739392 versa sobre un portero automático inalámbrico basado en la tecnología digital de comunicaciones DECT. El DECT, sin embargo, es una banda con licencia, al contrario que Bluetooth o ZigBee. Además, DECT no es compatible con los móviles actuales, por lo que podrían desarrollarse aplicaciones sobre ella.Document DE19739393 refers to a conventional analog wireless intercom, while document DE19739392 is about a wireless intercom based on digital DECT communications technology. The DECT, however, is a band with license, unlike Bluetooth or ZigBee. In addition, DECT is not compatible with current mobiles, so applications could be developed on it.
El documento ES2126532 se refiere a un sistema de portero automático vía línea telefónica que sí permite redireccionar llamadas a teléfonos externos a la vivienda, aunque dicha función o dicho desvío de llamada supone el coste de una llamada telefónica típica, gasto que no se contempla con el uso de las tecnologías inalámbricas que se contemplan en la presente invención.Document ES2126532 refers to an intercom system via telephone line that does allow redirecting calls to external telephones to the house, although said function or said call forwarding implies the cost of a typical telephone call, an expense that is not contemplated with the use of wireless technologies contemplated in the present invention.
El documento ES2133125 describe un video-portero inalámbrico analógico con conexión a la red telefónica y similares limitaciones que el documento anteriormente citado en lo que respecta al redireccionamiento de comunicaciones al exterior de la vivienda o similar.Document ES2133125 describes an analog wireless video intercom with connection to the telephone network and similar limitations as the aforementioned document regarding the redirection of communications outside the home or similar.
El documento ES2170682 trata sobre una red de video-portería con capacidad de transmisión inalámbrica y almacenamiento de información audiovisual así como módulos de localización remota y control domótico. Sin embargo, trata con tecnología radio o infrarrojos. Mientras que los infrarrojos se verían limitados al interior de la vivienda y tienen un alcance corto, la tecnología radio propuesta no garantiza compatibilidad con los móviles actuales, por lo que serían necesarios terminales especiales o adhesión a servicios específicos de telefonía en luggar de una simple aplicación en el terminal móvil.Document ES2170682 deals with a video-port network with capacity for wireless transmission and storage of audiovisual information as well as remote location modules and home automation control. However, it deals with radio or infrared technology. While infrared would be limited to the interior of the house and have a short range, the proposed radio technology does not guarantee compatibility with current mobiles, so special terminals or adhesion to specific telephone services would be necessary instead of a simple application in the mobile terminal.
El documento GB2377582 trata sobre un portero electrónico con teléfono móvil incorporado para redirigir las llamadas a un número de teléfono preprogramado. El redireccionamiento se realiza mediante llamada convencional y no contempla conexiones gratuitas mediante Bluetooth o ZigBee en el alcance de la tecnología.Document GB2377582 is about an electronic doorphone with a built-in mobile phone to redirect calls to a preprogrammed phone number. The redirection is done through a conventional call and does not include free connections via Bluetooth or ZigBee within the scope of the technology.
El documento ES2195745 expone un portero electrónico inalámbrico con comunicación digital sin hilos de voz e imagen entre una placa de calle, una base por cada vivienda y terminales inalámbricos. La base de la vivienda permite la conexión con la red telefónica para poder recibir llamadas en el terminal móvil o para redirigir las llamadas al portero hacia un teléfono externo. Sin embargo, es necesario reemplazar la tecnología disponible en lugar de poder emplear un simple dispositivo acoplable al terminal del usuario, así como cambiar también la placa de la calle. Además, emplea siempre la red telefónica, mientras que en el invento propuesto se evita el uso de esta red en tanto haya un terminal móvil autorizado dentro del alcance de la red inalámbrica gratuita establecida.Document ES2195745 discloses a wireless electronic doorphone with wireless digital voice and image communication between a street sign, a base for each dwelling and wireless terminals. The base of the house allows the connection to the telephone network to be able to receive calls in the mobile terminal or to redirect calls to the doorman towards an external telephone. However, it is necessary to replace the available technology instead of being able to use a simple device that can be attached to the user's terminal, as well as changing the street sign. In addition, it always uses the telephone network, while the proposed invention avoids the use of this network as long as there is an authorized mobile terminal within the range of the established free wireless network.
En relación al uso de las tecnologías de comunicaciones Bluetooth o ZigBee para acceso a información o control de dispositivos existen los siguientes antecedentes que, no obstante, no aplican la mencionada tecnología al objeto aquí contemplado. Un ejemplo es el documento DE10222408, que describe un control remoto de un dispositivo externo mediante Bluetooth orientado a aplicaciones domóticas. Otro ejemplo, el documento CN1449629 que describe un sistema de acceso multimedia mediante un terminal móvil, un conversor de red inalámbrica Bluetooth a red cableada y una pasareca hacia Internet.In relation to the use of Bluetooth or ZigBee communications technologies for access to information or control of devices there are the following antecedents that, however, do not apply the mentioned technology to the object contemplated herein. An example is document DE10222408, which describes a remote control of an external device via Bluetooth Home automation oriented. Another example, document CN1449629 describing a multimedia access system via a mobile terminal, a Bluetooth wireless network converter to a wired network and a gateway to the Internet.
El portero electrónico actual tiene como inconveniente la necesidad de tener que acudir varias veces hasta la ubicación fija de la vivienda donde se encuentra el terminal de portero para atender la llegada de un visitante. La posibilidad de poder hablar desde cualquier habitación de la vivienda dentro del rango de alcance inalámbrico del módulo para el terminal fijo de portero electrónico expuesto en la presente invención constituye una gran comodidad, similar a la que proporcional los extendidos terminales inalámbricos de telefonía fija. La ventaja comparativa aportada en este documento es que el usuario emplea su teléfono móvil con Bluetooth, ZigBee u otra tecnología inalámbrica como terminal inalámbrico del sistema de portería, sin necesidad de equiparse con un nuevo terminal móvil inalámbrico de diseño propietario. Los teléfonos móviles actuales están equipados con los medios para implementar un interfaz de usuario de alta calidad mediante la programación de una aplicación, y además suelen incorporar la capacidad de comunicación inalámbrica con tecnología Bluetooth, con la que puede transmitirse voz, datos e imágenes. El aprovechamiento de los recursos y capacidades de un aparato de uso tan enormemente extendido constituye un ahorro de costes y una gran comodidad para usuario, al evitar la necesidad de transportar consigo un nuevo terminal. También se pueden usar otros dispositivos inalámbricos como interfaz de usuario además de un teléfono móvil, como una PDA, un ordenador portátil o cualquier otro dispositivo Bluetooth o equipado con otra tecnología inalámbrica con capacidad de intercomunicación de audio.The current electronic doorman has the inconvenience of having to go several times to the fixed location of the house where the doorman terminal is located to meet the arrival of a visitor. The possibility of being able to speak from any room of the house within the wireless range of the module for the fixed electronic door entry terminal set forth in the present invention constitutes a great comfort, similar to that provided by the extended wireless fixed telephony terminals. The comparative advantage provided in this document is that the user uses his mobile phone with Bluetooth, ZigBee or other wireless technology as a wireless terminal of the goal system, without having to equip himself with a new wireless mobile terminal of proprietary design. Current mobile phones are equipped with the means to implement a high-quality user interface through the programming of an application, and also usually incorporate the ability of wireless communication with Bluetooth technology, with which voice, data and images can be transmitted. The use of the resources and capabilities of such a widely used device constitutes cost savings and great user comfort, avoiding the need to transport a new terminal with it. Other wireless devices can also be used as a user interface in addition to a mobile phone, such as a PDA, a laptop or any other Bluetooth device or equipped with other wireless technology with audio intercom capability.
Los terminales de portero tradicional no tienen la capacidad de almacenar y/o notificar el evento de llamada en el caso de no presencia del inquilino de la vivienda. Puede ocurrir que se esté esperando la llegada de una persona con sumo interés y esto impida al inquilino ausentarse en ningún momento de su vivienda. Este problema se soluciona con la incorporación al portero de la función de contestador automático con buzón de voz, que permite grabar un mensaje de voz genérico o personalizado para la visita que se está esperando, así como que dicha visita pueda dejar un mensaje de voz en el que identificarse y comunicarse brevemente. El terminal de portero electrónico puede configurarse para pasar de modo normal a modo contestador automático con buzón de voz al no detectar en su zona de cobertura inalámbrica a ningún teléfono móvil de los inquilinos. Esta misma detección de los equipos Bluetooth o ZigBee dados de alta en el sistema se emplea para notificar a los usuarios en la pantalla y mediante aviso acústico la existencia de mensajes acumulados al llegar a la vivienda. En definitiva, se propone el aprovechamiento de los populares teléfonos móviles como terminales inalámbricos del portero electrónico, evitando al usuario la incomodidad de llevar consigo otro equipo añadido, así como su coste y su mantenimiento asociado. Como resultado se consigue concentrar una serie de funciones muy útiles en un terminal de telefonía móvil.The traditional doorman terminals do not have the capacity to store and / or notify the call event in the case of non-presence of the tenant of the house. It may happen that the arrival of a person with great interest is being expected and this prevents the tenant from leaving his home at any time. This problem is solved with the incorporation to the doorphone of the answering machine function with voicemail, which allows you to record a generic or personalized voice message for the visit you are waiting for, as well as that said visit can leave a voice message in The one to identify and communicate briefly. The electronic door entry terminal can be configured to switch from normal mode to voicemail mode by not detecting any tenant's mobile phone in its wireless coverage area. This same detection of Bluetooth or ZigBee devices registered in the system is used to notify users on the screen and by means of acoustic warning the existence of accumulated messages when they arrive at the house. In short, it is proposed to take advantage of the popular mobile phones as wireless terminals of the electronic doorman, avoiding the user the inconvenience of carrying other added equipment, as well as its cost and associated maintenance. As a result, a series of very useful functions can be concentrated in a mobile telephone terminal.

El presente invento introduce una solución novedosa a una aplicación que no se ha resuelto satisfactoriamente en la actualidad siendo, al mismo tiempo, muy económica. El usuario de esta invención consigue una serie de funciones avanzadas, una movilidad total en todo el área de cobertura inalámbrica para comunicarse o gestionar el sistema, la posibilidad de usar el móvil como terminal inalámbrico de telefonía fija, la capacidad de redireccionar las llamadas al portero hacia un teléfono externo a través de la red de telefonía fija o móvil y todo ello con un coste y dificultad mínima para el usuario, pues el invento se basa en el aprovechamiento de su teléfono móvil con Bluetooth, ZigBee u otra tecnología inalámbrica.The present invention introduces a novel solution to an application that has not been satisfactorily resolved at the present time being, at the same time, very economical. The user of this invention achieves a series of advanced functions, a total mobility in the entire wireless coverage area to communicate or manage the system, the possibility of using the mobile phone as a fixed telephone wireless terminal, the ability to redirect calls to the doorman towards an external telephone through the fixed or mobile telephone network and all this with a minimum cost and difficulty for the user, since the invention is based on the use of your mobile phone with Bluetooth, ZigBee or other wireless technology.
El terminal de portero electrónico descrito puede ser un equipo completo compatible con la placa de calle preexistente y montarse en edificaciones de nueva construcción o como sustitución de porteros electrónicos tradicionales o, en cambio, puede aprovechar el terminal de portero electrónico tradicional preexistente y montarse como un módulo inalámbrico añadido a la infraestructura existente, de modo que se consigue toda la funcionalidad del invento con un ahorro considerable, pues no es necesaria la inclusión de un micrófono, altavoz, pulsador ni carcasas. En ambos casos el resultado es el mismo, se consigue un terminal de portero electrónico mejorado inalámbrico. Las funciones tradicionales de terminal de portero electrónico son timbre de portero, establecer comunicación de audio con la persona llamante y abrir la(s) puerta(s) del edificio. En el módulo inalámbrico para terminal de portero electrónico (1) se implementan las funciones de contestador automático con buzón de voz, la simulación de presencia y la comunicación inalámbrica con el teléfono móvil del usuario o el equipo puente/repetidor inalámbrico. El equipo puente/repetidor inalámbrico opcional (3) cuya función es añadir la capacidad de redirigir una llamada al portero electrónico hacia los teléfonos fijos de la vivienda o hacia un teléfono exterior mediante la conexión a la red telefónica fija que equipa. Además el equipo puente/repetidor inalámbrico sirve para extender la cobertura inalámbrica del terminal del portero electrónico, permitiendo la comunicación entre el terminal del portero electrónico y el teléfono móvil del usuario a mayor distancia. El equipo puente/repetidor inalámbrico también sirve para dotar al teléfono móvil de la función de terminal inalámbrico de telefonía fija.The described electronic door intercom terminal can be a complete equipment compatible with the pre-existing street sign and can be mounted in new buildings or as a replacement for traditional electronic doormen or, instead, it can take advantage of the pre-existing traditional electronic door intercom terminal and be mounted as a Wireless module added to the existing infrastructure, so that all the functionality of the invention is achieved with considerable savings, since it is not necessary to include a microphone, speaker, button or housings. In both cases the result is the same, a wireless improved electronic door entry terminal is achieved. The traditional functions of electronic door entry terminal are door bell, establish audio communication with the caller and open the door (s) of the building. In the wireless module for electronic door entry terminal (1), the functions of answering machine with voicemail, presence simulation and wireless communication with the user's mobile phone or wireless bridge / repeater device are implemented. The optional wireless bridge / repeater device (3) whose function is to add the ability to redirect a call to the electronic doorphone to the landlines in the house or to an outside telephone by connecting to the fixed telephone network it equips. In addition, the wireless bridge / repeater device serves to extend the wireless coverage of the electronic door intercom terminal, allowing communication between the electronic intercom terminal and the The user's mobile phone at a greater distance. The wireless bridge / repeater device is also used to provide the mobile phone with the function of a fixed telephone wireless terminal.
La función de contestador automático con buzón de voz es muy útil tanto para saber quién ya llamado y para qué, así como para evitar la pérdida de tiempo asociada a atender a llamantes indeseados. Es posible activar el mensaje de bienvenida del contestador automático aunque el usuario se encuentre en su vivienda, pidiendo que la persona llamante se identifique y deje su mensaje. En el caso de que se quiera atender a esa persona se puede descolgar, inhibiéndose la función de contestador automáticamente.The answering machine with voicemail function is very useful both to know who has already been called and for what, as well as to avoid the loss of time associated with attending to unwanted callers. It is possible to activate the welcome message of the answering machine even if the user is in your home, asking that the caller identify himself and leave his message. In case you want to attend to that person, you can pick up the answering function, automatically inhibiting the answering function.
La función de simulación de presencia permite simular la contestación del portero por el inquilino de la vivienda para evitar la evidencia de ausencia ante posibles ladrones. Los ladrones suelen sondear las viviendas buscando ausencias prolongadas de inquilinos, por ejemplo, unas vacaciones estivales, asegurándose de este modo un robo fácil. Las viviendas que muestran signos evidentes de estar vacías son el objetivo prioritario de esta clase de asaltos. En el invento descrito es posible grabar una serie de mensajes que simulan una breve contestación y que se reproducen al recibir una llamada estando el portero configurado en el modo simulación de presencia para, tras pocos segundos, colgar. Se trata de contestaciones habituales al descolgar en las aplicaciones de portería, pronunciadas por varios sujetos y que pueden ser pregrabadas o grabadas personalmente por los usuarios.The presence simulation function allows to simulate the answer of the doorman by the tenant of the house to avoid the evidence of absence before possible thieves. Thieves often search homes for prolonged tenant absences, for example, a summer vacation, thus ensuring easy theft. Homes that show obvious signs of being empty are the priority objective of this kind of assault. In the described invention it is possible to record a series of messages that simulate a brief answer and that are reproduced upon receiving a call while the doorman is configured in the presence simulation mode to hang up after a few seconds. These are usual answers when picking up on goal applications, pronounced by several subjects and that can be pre-recorded or recorded personally by users.
En el teléfono móvil con Bluetooth o Zigbee del usuario (2) se ejecuta un código que implementa todas las funciones tradicionales de terminal de portero electrónico y además la escucha de los mensajes de voz almacenados, la grabación de los mensajes para el contestador automático y la simulación de presencia, la gestión de las funciones del sistema, la función de terminal inalámbrico de telefonía fija y la redirección de una llamada hacia un teléfono exterior mediante la red de telefonía móvil. Desde el teléfono móvil el usuario puede configurar el modo de funcionamiento que desea: normal, normal con el terminal de portero fijo silenciado, contestador automático o simulación de presencia; también puede seleccionar que el sistema conmute de modo normal a modo contestador automático al detectar que el móvil del usuario se sale de la cobertura inalámbrica del terminal de portero fijo y viceversa. Silenciando el terminal fijo se consigue que tan sólo perciban la llamada desde la placa de calle los usuarios que tengan el móvil activado para recibirlas, aumentándose la privacidad de las personas interesadas en dichas llamadas y eliminando las molestias a aquellas personas no interesadas. Otros controles que se llevan a cabo desde el teléfono móvil son el volumen, la duración y el tono o la melodía de la llamada del móvil, la duración predeterminada de los mensajes de voz, la grabación del mensaje del contestador automático y la habilitación de nuevos teléfonos móviles en el sistema para conectarse sin cables al terminal fijo, lo cual sólo puede hacerlo un teléfono móvil previamente habilitado. El módulo inalámbrico para terminal fijo está equipado con un pulsador de reseteo general tras el cual el aparato acepta la conexión del primer móvil que realice la petición de conexión. Los sucesivos móviles que quieran ser vinculados al sistema deben ser habilitados por este primer móvil o por otro previamente habilitado. Al recibirse una llamada desde la placa de calle tanto el terminal móvil puede ser configurado para que el tono de llamada sea de varias decenas de segundos de duración a modo de una llamada telefónica habitual, independientemente de la duración de la pulsación en la placa de calle. Al descolgar desde un móvil los demás usuarios no pueden acceder a la comunicación como medida de privacidad en el sistema. Si uno de los usuarios atiende desde su móvil a la persona llamante pero la llamada es para otro inquilino es posible transferir la llamada de un móvil a otro.In the mobile phone with Bluetooth or Zigbee of the user (2) a code is executed that implements all the traditional functions of electronic door entry terminal and also the listening of the stored voice messages, the recording of the messages for the answering machine and the presence simulation, the management of system functions, the function of a fixed telephone wireless terminal and the redirection of a call to an outside telephone through the mobile telephone network. From the mobile phone, the user can configure the operating mode he wants: normal, normal with the fixed intercom terminal muted, answering machine or presence simulation; You can also select to have the system switch from normal mode to answering mode by detecting that the user's mobile is out of the wireless coverage of the fixed intercom terminal and vice versa. By silencing the fixed terminal, only users who have the mobile phone activated to receive them receive the call from the entrance panel, increasing the privacy of those interested in said calls and eliminating the inconvenience to those not interested. Other controls that are carried out from the mobile phone are the volume, the duration and the tone or the melody of the mobile call, the default duration of the voice messages, the recording of the message of the answering machine and enabling new mobile phones in the system to connect wirelessly to the fixed terminal, which can only be done by a previously enabled mobile phone. The wireless module for fixed terminal is equipped with a general reset button after which the device accepts the connection of the first mobile that makes the connection request. Successive mobiles that want to be linked to the system must be enabled by this first mobile or by another previously enabled. When a call is received from the entrance panel, both the mobile terminal can be configured so that the call tone is several tens of seconds long as a usual telephone call, regardless of the duration of the press on the entrance panel . When picking up from a mobile phone, other users cannot access communication as a measure of privacy in the system. If one of the users answers the caller from his mobile phone but the call is for another tenant, it is possible to transfer the call from one mobile phone to another.

MANEEA(S) DE REALIZAR LA INVENCIÓNMANAGE (S) OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
A continuación se explican modos de realización de la invención de carácter no limitativo.Embodiments of the invention of a non-limiting nature are explained below.
El presente invento está concebido como un módulo para añadir a un portero electrónico (10) y una red de portería (9) preexistente, por lo que en la implementación preferida no se incluyen los dispositivos que implementan dicho portero electrónico preexistente, sin que ello implique una limitación en el modo de aplicación de la invención, pues también se pretende abarcar el caso de un portero electrónico que integre todas las funciones del invento y que sustituya al portero preexistente. En cualquier caso resulta bien conocida la implementación de los porteros electrónicos analógicos tradicionales, al que se conecta el módulo para terminal de portero que aquí se describe. El interfaz entre el terminal de portero y la red de portería del sistema analógico tradicional suele ser de 5 hilos: entrada de audio proveniente de la placa de calle (15), salida de audio proveniente del micrófono del terminal de portería (14), llamada (11), apertura de la puerta (12) y masa (13). Puede existir algún terminal más, como alimentación de corriente o secreto (para conferir privacidad a las comunicaciones) pero son optativos y su finalidad no es fundamental. La conexión eléctrica entre el invento, la red de portería y el terminal de portero fijo se puede realizar mediante tornillos, conector(es) o por inserción de los cables en un regletero de conexión del tipo usado en las redes de telefonía fija. Sólo el hilo de llamada (11) debe interrumpirse (H') para realizar la conexión del módulo (1), por lo que la instalación del mismo es muy rápida y sencilla.The present invention is conceived as a module for adding a pre-existing electronic doorphone (10) and a pre-existing goal network (9), so that the devices that implement said pre-existing electronic doorphone are not included in the preferred implementation, without implying a limitation on the mode of application of the invention, since it is also intended to cover the case of an electronic door entry that integrates all the functions of the invention and replaces the existing door entry system. In any case, the implementation of the traditional analog electronic doormen is well known, to which the door terminal module described here is connected. The interface between the porter terminal and the traditional analog system's goal network is usually 5-wire: audio input from the entrance panel (15), audio output from the microphone of the goal terminal (14), called (11), door opening (12) and mass (13). There may be another terminal, such as power supply or secret (to confer privacy on communications) but they are optional and their purpose is not essential. The electrical connection between the invention, the port network and the fixed porter terminal can be carried out by means of screws, connector (s) or by inserting the cables into a connection strip of the type used in fixed telephone networks. Just the thread of Call (11) must be interrupted (H ') to connect the module (1), so installation is very quick and easy.
El módulo para terminal de portero (1) se conecta a la red particular de portería (9) a través de un circuito de interfaz (24) encargado del acondicionamiento de las señales analógicas de audio de entrada (15) y de salida (14) y de un microcontrolador (20). Un codificador/decodificador (codee) PCM (23) realiza la conversión entre las señales analógicas acondicionadas y las señales digitales de audio en formato PCM. Las funciones de contestador automático y de simulación de presencia requieren de la inclusión de una circuitería de grabación/reproducción (22) de voz que se conecta al Codificador/decodificador PCM. Los circuitos de acondicionamiento de señal, conversión analógica a digital y de grabación/reproducción de voz pueden estar integrados en un mismo bloque de audio (25). Existen en el mercado circuitos integrados de varios fabricantes que integran las funciones de acondicionamiento de señal, codificador/decodificador PCM y la capacidad de grabación/reproducción de voz, como, por ejemplo, el circuito integrado 15216 de Winbond. El terminal de portero electrónico (1) incorpora además un módulo transceptor Bluetooth (16) con una antena (17), que usa la banda ISM de 2.4 Ghz, con la finalidad de comunicarse con el equipo puente/repetidor Bluetooth opcional (3) o directamente con uno o varios teléfonos móviles (2) que sirven para implementar el interfaz de usuario.The porter terminal module (1) is connected to the particular goal network (9) through an interface circuit (24) responsible for conditioning the analogue input (15) and output (14) audio signals. and of a microcontroller (20). A PCM encoder / decoder (codee) (23) converts between the conditioned analog signals and the digital audio signals in PCM format. The answering machine and presence simulation functions require the inclusion of a voice recording / playback circuitry (22) that connects to the PCM Encoder / Decoder. The signal conditioning, analog to digital conversion and voice recording / playback circuits can be integrated in the same audio block (25). There are on the market integrated circuits of several manufacturers that integrate the functions of signal conditioning, encoder / decoder PCM and the ability to record / reproduce voice, such as, for example, the integrated circuit 15216 of Winbond. The intercom terminal (1) also incorporates a Bluetooth transceiver module (16) with an antenna (17), which uses the 2.4 Ghz ISM band, in order to communicate with the optional Bluetooth bridge / repeater device (3) or directly with one or more mobile phones (2) that serve to implement the user interface.
Un microcontrolador (20) está conectado a todos los bloques anteriormente mencionados comunicándose con ellos para llevar a cabo las funciones del aparato. Mediante un interfaz serie (28) al bloque de audio (25) controla el margen dinámico de la entrada y la salida de audio, configura el codee PCM y controla los parámetros y las funciones de grabación/reproducción. En la implementación preferida, dicho interfaz serie (28) será un interfaz estándar I2C. El microcontrolador (20) está conectado con el módulo Bluetooth (16) mediante (27) con la finalidad de gestionar la comunicación inalámbrica: descubrir a los equipos Bluetooth que tiene dentro de su cobertura, conectarse a los equipos Bluetooth dados de alta en el sistema e intercambiar voz y datos. El microcontrolador también está conectado a la entrada de llamada (11) desde la placa de calle y controla el interruptor electrónico (29) que habilita o deshabilita el funcionamiento del timbre del terminal de portero electrónico fijo, implementando la función de silenciamiento. Este interruptor electrónico (29) en ausencia de alimentación eléctrica en el módulo (1) debe permitir el paso de corriente para que el terminal de portero fijo (10) siga funcionando en el caso de interrupción del suministro eléctrico para el módulo para terminal de portero. El microcontrolador está conectado a un relé o interruptor electrónico (21) cuya función es la de abrir la puerta cuando así sea ordenado desde un terminal de portero móvil. La alimentación eléctrica se efectúa mediante una fuente de alimentación reguladaA microcontroller (20) is connected to all the aforementioned blocks communicating with them to carry out the functions of the apparatus. Through a serial interface (28) the audio block (25) controls the dynamic range of the audio input and output, configures the PCM codee and controls the parameters and recording / playback functions. In the preferred implementation, said serial interface (28) will be a standard I2C interface. The microcontroller (20) is connected to the Bluetooth module (16) through (27) in order to manage wireless communication: discover the Bluetooth devices within its coverage, connect to the Bluetooth devices registered in the system and exchange voice and data. The microcontroller is also connected to the call input (11) from the entrance panel and controls the electronic switch (29) that enables or disables the operation of the doorbell of the fixed electronic intercom terminal, implementing the mute function. This electronic switch (29) in the absence of power supply in the module (1) must allow the current to pass through so that the fixed door terminal (10) continues to operate in the event of a power failure for the door terminal module . The microcontroller is connected to an electronic relay or switch (21) whose function is to open the door when ordered from a mobile doorman terminal. The power is supplied by a regulated power supply
(18) que puede estar conectada (19) a la red eléctrica de la vivienda o al hilo de alimentación de la red de portería, en el caso de existir, siendo preferible esta segunda opción por su mayor facilidad y economía, siempre que la alimentación de la red de portería (9) soporte el consumo de corriente requerido.(18) which may be connected (19) to the electrical network of the dwelling or to the power line of the goal net, if it exists, this second option being preferable due to its greater ease and economy, provided that the power supply of the port network (9) support the required current consumption.
El equipo puente/repetidor (3) consta de un transceptor Bluetooth (31) con el que establece la comunicación sin hilos con el módulo Bluetooth para terminal de portero (1) y con los terminales móviles, una antena (30) para la banda ISM de 2.4 Ghz, el circuito de interfaz (33) con la red de telefonía fija (5), un codee de señales digitales PCM a señales analógicas de audio (32) y un microcontrolador (37) encargado de gobernar el equipo y de almacenar temporalmente y transferir el flujo bidireccional de audio digital asociado a la conversación.The bridge / repeater device (3) consists of a Bluetooth transceiver (31) with which it establishes wireless communication with the Bluetooth module for the porter terminal (1) and with the mobile terminals, an antenna (30) for the ISM band 2.4 Ghz, the interface circuit (33) with the fixed telephone network (5), a PCM digital signal codee to analog audio signals (32) and a microcontroller (37) responsible for governing the equipment and temporarily storing and transfer the bidirectional flow of digital audio associated with the conversation.
El módulo Bluetooth para terminal de portero (1) actúa como maestro de la red Bluetooth (piconet) que se forma en la vivienda del usuario, de modo que sincroniza y coordina a los demás dispositivos conectados a la red. Para que los dispositivos Bluetooth se puedan usar como terminales móviles (2) de portero electrónico deben tener activada la comunicación Bluetooth mediante la ejecución de un programa que debe estar instalado previamente en dichos dispositivos. El usuario puede darse de alta y de baja en la red inalámbrica de portería de su vivienda manualmente o, en cambio, puede dejar que su dispositivo Bluetooth detecte al módulo Bluetooth para terminal de portero (1) y se conecte a él al entrar en su área de cobertura. Este proceso se implementa mediante una búsqueda de dispositivos (inquiring) cada cierto tiempo y la realización de la conexión (paging) a la red Bluetooth (piconet) cuando se tenga al alcance a los demás dispositivos Bluetooth.The Bluetooth module for the porter terminal (1) acts as the master of the Bluetooth network (piconet) that is formed in the user's home, so that it synchronizes and coordinates the other devices connected to the network. In order for Bluetooth devices to be used as mobile terminals (2) of the electronic doorphone, they must have activated Bluetooth communication by executing a program that must be previously installed on said devices. The user can register and unsubscribe in the wireless porter network of your home manually or, instead, you can let your Bluetooth device detect the Bluetooth module for the porter terminal (1) and connect to it when entering your coverage area. This process is implemented by searching for devices (inquiring) from time to time and making the connection (paging) to the Bluetooth network (piconet) when other Bluetooth devices are available.
Seguidamente el terminal móvil configura su transceptor Bluetooth en modo aparcado, que se caracteriza por su bajo consumo eléctrico y el mantenimiento de la conexión sin cables. Cuando se efectúa una llamada en la placa de calle destinada a la vivienda donde se ubica el invento, el microcontrolador (20) capta el evento mediante (11) y gestiona al transceptor Bluetooth (16) a través del puerto serie (27) para que se active la comunicación inalámbrica con los terminales móviles (2). Una vez activada la comunicación se le transmite a los terminales móviles el evento de llamada mediante una conexión asincrona no orientada a conexión (ACL) y se establece la conversación con el primer equipo que responda el evento de descolgar.Then the mobile terminal configures its Bluetooth transceiver in parked mode, which is characterized by its low power consumption and the maintenance of the wireless connection. When a call is made on the entrance panel for the home where the invention is located, the microcontroller (20) captures the event through (11) and manages the Bluetooth transceiver (16) through the serial port (27) so that Wireless communication is activated with the mobile terminals (2). Once the communication is activated, the call event is transmitted to the mobile terminals by means of an asynchronous non-connection-oriented connection (ACL) and the conversation is established with the first team that responds to the off-hook event.
Al establecerse una comunicación entre un terminal móvil (2) y el módulo para terminal de portero electrónico (1), el audio proveniente de la placa de calle es digitalizado en (25) y transmitido por (16) según el control de (20) en el módulo para terminal de portero (1). El terminal móvil (2) debe recibir estos datos y ensamblarlos para conseguir un flujo de audio en formato digital PCM que, tras convertirlo a formato analógico, se reproduce en su altavoz o auricular. El flujo de voz desde el terminal móvil hacia la placa de calle es simétrico al descrito. El tipo de conexión inalámbrica empleada para la voz es síncrona orientada a conexión (SCO), teniendo el estándar Bluetooth definido un interfaz PCM (26) y unos perfiles de comunicación específicos para la comunicación de audio.When communication is established between a mobile terminal (2) and the module for electronic door entry terminal (1), the audio coming from the entrance panel is digitized in (25) and transmitted by (16) according to the control of (20) in the door terminal module (1). The mobile terminal (2) must receive this data and assemble it to get an audio stream in PCM digital format that, after converting to analog format, is played on your speaker or headset. The voice flow from the mobile terminal to the entrance panel is symmetrical to that described. The type of wireless connection used for voice is synchronous connection-oriented (SCO), with the Bluetooth standard defined as a PCM interface (26) and specific communication profiles for audio communication.
Cuando la comunicación inalámbrica se establece a través del equipo puente/repetidor (3) su transceptor Bluetooth (31) recibe los datos y el audio digital que fluye en ambos sentidos y su microcontrolador (37) los almacena temporalmente para transmitirlos en un instante posterior, ya que la tecnología Bluetooth emplea multiplexación temporal (TDD). El interfaz con la red de telefonía fija (34) del equipo puente/repetidor (3) consta de una circuitería de adaptación de las señales analógicas (33) y de un codee PCM (32), cuya función conjunta es la conversión del audio bidireccional de formato analógico telefónico a formato digital PCM y viceversa. También cuenta con los medios para descolgar la línea telefónica para realizar una llamada y para hacer sonar los teléfonos de la red interior de la vivienda. El codee PCM (32) convierte el audio proveniente de la placa de calle en formato PCM a audio en formato analógico y realiza la conversión inversa con el audio analógico proveniente del circuito de adaptación (33) conectado a la red de telefonía fija (5) cuando se redirige una llamada hacia un teléfono exterior (4). En esta implementación preferida del equipo puente/repetidor (3) no se incluye un generador de tonos DMTF, necesarios para poder llevar a cabo la marcación. Como alternativa más simple y económica se decide aprovechar el circuito de reproducción de audio (22) del módulo Bluetooth para terminal de portero electrónico (1) con los tonos pregrabados de fábrica, simplificándose el equipo puente/repetidor. El módulo para terminal de portero (1) para redirigir una llamada hacia un teléfono exterior debe enviar al equipo puente/repetidor (3) el comando de llamada al exterior por un enlace ACL, para que descuelgue la línea telefónica y active la conversión del audio PCM recibido por Bluetooth a audio analógico. El módulo para terminal de portero (1) entonces reproduce los tonos asociados al número de teléfono que tiene configurado, los envía por un enlace SCO y espera a recibir el comando de llamada aceptada originado por el equipo puente/repetidor (3). En este momento el módulo para terminal de portero establece la comunicación sonora entre la placa de calle de la red de portería (9) y el teléfono remoto (4), pues hasta la aceptación de la llamada a la persona llamante no se le descuelga para que la redirección resulte transparente a su parecer.When wireless communication is established through the bridge / repeater device (3) your Bluetooth transceiver (31) receives the data and digital audio that flows in both directions and your microcontroller (37) temporarily stores them for transmission at a later time, since Bluetooth technology uses temporary multiplexing (TDD). The interface with the fixed telephone network (34) of the bridge / repeater unit (3) consists of an adaptation circuit of the analog signals (33) and a PCM codee (32), whose joint function is the conversion of bidirectional audio from analog telephone format to PCM digital format and vice versa. It also has the means to pick up the telephone line to make a call and to ring the telephones of the interior network of the house. The PCM codee (32) converts the audio coming from the entrance panel in PCM format to audio in analog format and performs the inverse conversion with the analog audio coming from the adaptation circuit (33) connected to the fixed telephone network (5) when a call is redirected to an outside telephone (4). In this preferred implementation of the bridge / repeater equipment (3) a DMTF tone generator is not included, necessary to carry out the dialing. As a simpler and more economical alternative, it is decided to take advantage of the audio playback circuit (22) of the Bluetooth module for electronic door entry terminal (1) with the factory pre-recorded tones, simplifying the bridge / repeater equipment. The door terminal module (1) to redirect a call to an outside telephone must send to the bridge / repeater device (3) the command to call outside via an ACL link, to pick up the telephone line and activate the audio conversion PCM received by Bluetooth to analog audio. The door terminal module (1) then reproduces the tones associated with the configured telephone number, sends them through an SCO link and waits to receive the accepted call command originated by the bridge / repeater device (3). At this moment, the door terminal module establishes the sound communication between the entrance panel of the goal net (9) and the remote telephone (4), because until the call is accepted the caller is not picked up to that the redirection is transparent to your opinion.
La activación de la redirección de las llamadas a un teléfono exterior (4) se realiza desde un terminal móvil de portero (2). La desactivación de esta función se lleva a cabo cuando el módulo Bluetooth para terminal de portero electrónico (1) detecta a uno de los terminales móviles de portero (2) dentro del área de cobertura.The activation of the redirection of calls to an outside telephone (4) is carried out from a mobile doorman terminal (2). The deactivation of this function is carried out when the Bluetooth module for electronic doorphone terminal (1) detects one of the mobile doorman terminals (2) within the coverage area.
Cuando se usa el teléfono móvil Bluetooth (2) como terminal inalámbrico de telefonía fija se emplea el mismo procedimiento que cuando se realiza la redirección de una llamada hacia un teléfono externo, sólo que en este caso es el teléfono móvil el que controla al equipo puente/repetidor (3) en vez del módulo para terminal de portero (1). El teléfono móvil (2) envía al equipo puente/repetidor (3) el comando de llamada al exterior por un enlace ACL, luego debe enviar la secuencia de tonos de marcación por el enlace SCO empleado para audio y esperar al comando de aceptación de la llamada proveniente del equipo puente/repetidor (3) para encauzar el flujo bidireccional de voz digitalizada por el enlace SCO. When the Bluetooth mobile phone (2) is used as a wireless fixed telephone terminal, the same procedure is used as when a call is redirected to an external telephone, only in this case it is the mobile phone that controls the bridge equipment / repeater (3) instead of the door terminal module (1). The mobile phone (2) sends to the bridge / repeater equipment (3) the call-out command via an ACL link, then it must send the dial tone sequence via the SCO link used for audio and wait for the command to accept the call from the bridge / repeater equipment (3) to channel the two-way voice flow digitized by the SCO link.
