Description

RF communication system and method

field of invention

The present invention relates to an RF communication system and a corresponding method of controlling user equipment by wireless RF communication.

The invention also relates to a user device for reading user settings and/or commands from a passive data carrier by wireless RF communication, and to a passive data carrier programmable and readable by wireless RF communication.

Background of the invention

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are well known and widely used to identify objects or locations. The state of a device containing a reader is dependent on the detection of a particular tag. The application of such RFID tags is described, for example, in US 2002/0039896 A1, which discloses a system for disabling mobile phones in environments where their use may impair the operation of vital systems (e.g. at an airport or in a hospital), or may cause distress to other people. The system consists of a pair of RF beacons (active RFID tags) located at the entrance to the controlled area. The phone has a receiver sensitive to the output of the beacon and is adapted to automatically switch off into standby when passing the beacon in one direction and to reactivate when passing the beacon in the other direction. Thus, by using an active RFID tag, a specific command identification stored therein is sent to the phone to switch it into a specific mode of operation.

The problem with the application known from US 2002/0039896 A1 is that the device comprising a detector or receiver for detecting/receiving commands from an RFID tag needs to know in advance how to interpret the RF communication is a signal detected or received by a specific data carrier that is programmed or read. The device needs to be aware of the data carrier and has to be informed about the settings of the data carrier, that is to say each device needs to be trained before it exhibits the desired functionality.

Another system is known from US 2003/0073411 A1, which discloses a system for automatically applying user preferences from a mobile computing device to electrical appliances. Mobile computing devices, such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), control electrical appliances such as televisions, radios, printers, and the like. The control can take several forms, including applying preferences such as volume level, favorite programs, etc. to the appliance, or simply activating or deactivating it. In this way, the mobile computing device becomes the master of the appliances in its environment for content control and user preferences.

The problem with the system according to US 2003/0073411 A1 is that the mobile computing device must know the content of the message sent to the appliance containing the user settings, that is, the message must have a well-known meaning, such as volume level "high ” or the preferred program number. Therefore, there must be a common protocol for all devices so that commands for setting volume levels have the same effect on different devices.

Purpose and summary of the invention

It is an object of the present invention to provide an RF communication system and method by which extensive training of different user equipments can be avoided. Furthermore, a suitable user equipment and passive data carrier for use in such an RF communication system will be provided.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an RF communication system and method for controlling different types of user equipment, wherein only said user equipment needs to know the actual meaning of transmitted user settings and/or commands, and wherein all The passive data carrier described above may not know the actual meaning of its contents.

According to the invention, said object is achieved by an RF communication system as claimed in claim 1, which system comprises:

- User equipment for reading user settings and/or commands from a passive data carrier by wireless RF communication, comprising a controller and a programming unit for controlling according to the read user settings and/or commands The user equipment, said programming unit is adapted to automatically program said passive data carrier with actual user settings and/or commands of the user equipment via wireless RF communication; and

- A passive data carrier programmable and readable by wireless RF communication, comprising a memory for storing user settings and/or commands.

A corresponding RF communication method is defined in claim 12, the method comprising the steps of:

- automatic programming of the passive data carrier with actual user settings and/or commands of the user equipment by wireless RF communication, said passive data carrier comprising a memory for storing said user settings and/or commands;

- reading user settings and/or commands from said passive data carrier by wireless RF communication; and

- Controlling the user equipment according to the read user settings and/or commands.

It has to be noted that the step of automatically programming said passive data carrier can also be performed after the steps of reading user settings and/or commands and controlling the user equipment, instead of as a first step.

Suitable user equipment for use in the RF communication system according to the invention is defined in claim 13, the user equipment comprising:

- an RF transmitter for transmitting RF signals;

- a programming unit for automatically programming said passive data carrier with actual user settings and/or commands of the user equipment via said RF signal;

- a detector for detecting RF signals from said data carrier or RF signal modulation of emitted RF signals;

- a processor for processing detected RF signals or RF signal modulations and for deriving user settings and/or commands embedded therein; and

- a controller for controlling the user equipment according to the read user settings and/or commands.

A passive data carrier programmable and readable by wireless RF communication according to the invention is defined in claim 14, the passive data carrier comprising:

- memory for storing user settings and/or commands;

- receiving means for receiving RF signals;

- processing means for processing said received RF signal in order to obtain user settings and/or commands embedded therein, and/or for embedding stored user settings and/or commands into the output RF signal or to the RF signal modulation of the received RF signal; and

- output means for outputting said output RF signal or RF signal modulation.

The invention is based on the idea of storing user settings and/or commands in a passive data carrier. The passive data carrier then transmits the stored commands and/or settings to the user equipment within its control area, which then executes said commands or is controlled according to the read user settings. The data carrier may eg be embedded in the environment (eg sealed in a wall) and the user device may generally be any portable or mobile device, such as a mobile phone, camera, audio or video device or any other household electrical device. The data carrier may also be mobile and the user equipment may be any device that can be controlled by a user.

The programming of the passive data carrier by said user settings and/or commands is done automatically and implicitly when the passive data carrier and the user equipment are to come into control or when the state changes, for example This is done by communicating the current status (eg volume level and tuned radio station of the audio device) to the passive data carrier. When the same device (or device of the same type) next comes within the control range, these user settings and/or commands will be read by the user device, which is then automatically controlled into the same state.

Selective execution of sent commands and/or user settings may be performed in dependence on detection of a specific passive data carrier. In this way, commands and/or user settings can be targeted to specific user devices, for example said commands and/or settings are applied only to the user devices leaving said user settings and/or commands, or to a specific group of devices , such as all devices of a specific user or all devices of a specific type.

By means of the invention, it is not necessary to preprogram all user equipment with specific commands to be executed when the user equipment enters the control area of a particular passive data carrier. Instead, user settings and/or commands are pre-programmed or programmed into the data carrier during use and the user equipment is adapted to be controlled according to such user settings and/or commands for them.

The invention also allows the user to carry with him his personal user settings and/or commands for controlling the user equipment, since the data is transmitted from the passive data carrier associated with the user to the user equipment within the control range, so that the user The device is controlled into a state preferred by the user.

Preferred embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims. In order to enable unambiguous programming of the passive data carrier, according to a preferred embodiment a separate programming device is provided which comprises input means for entering user settings and/or commands. In addition, the user equipment may also comprise such input means in order to allow explicit programming of the passive data carrier by the user via the user equipment.

The passive data carrier may generally be any data carrier which can be programmed and read by wireless RF communication. Preferably, the data carrier comprises:

- receiving means for receiving RF signals;

- processing means for processing said received RF signal in order to obtain said user settings and/or commands embedded therein, and/or for embedding stored user settings and/or commands into an output RF signal or in RF signal modulation of said received RF signal; and

- output means for outputting said output RF signal or RF signal modulation.

Preferably, passive RFID tags are used as said passive data carrier. Such passive RFID tags operate without a separate external power source and derive operating power from the reader. As a result, passive RFID tags are lighter, less expensive than active tags, and offer a virtually unlimited lifetime. Typically, the read range, ie the control area controlled by such passive RFID tags, is a few meters, eg 10m. The general layout and function of such passive RFID tags are well known in the art and therefore will not be further explained here.

The passive data carrier can be integrated into a mobile user device, in particular a mobile phone, a transponder, a smart card or a PDA. The user usually carries at least one such device with him, so it can be used as a passive data carrier according to the invention. The user can control the user equipment according to his personal user settings stored in the passive data carrier, even if the data carrier does not know explicitly what the data mean. If tags are mentioned below, this also includes passive data carriers integrated into mobile user equipment.

User equipment especially suitable for said passive data carrier, in particular said RFID tag, comprises:

- an RF transmitter for transmitting RF signals;

- a detector for detecting RF signals or RF signal modulation of transmitted RF signals;

- A processor for processing the detected RF signal or RF signal modulation and for deriving user settings and/or commands embedded therein.

As mentioned before, not only one specific command or user setting can be stored in the passive data carrier, but also different settings for controlling different types, different groups of user equipment or different items of user equipment can be stored therein. It is also possible to store commands or user settings relating to one user only in a passive data carrier associated with said one user. This allows the invention to be widely used in a number of different applications.

The user equipment may further comprise identification means for embedding identification information identifying the user equipment and/or the type of the user equipment into the RF signal transmitted by the RF transmitter. In this way, the transmitted RF signal includes information about the specific user equipment or the specific type of user equipment from which the RF signal was transmitted.

Said processing means of the passive data carrier may comprise identifier means for processing said received RF signal in order to obtain identification information identifying said user equipment and/or said type of user equipment. The processing means may also comprise selection means for selecting stored user settings and/or commands relating to said type or said user equipment for embedding said user settings and/or commands in said processing means The output RF signal or the RF signal modulation of the received RF signal. Said processing means comprising said identifier means and said selection means allow different user equipments or different types of user equipments to be incorporated into the RF communication system of the invention, since there can be different data sets without interference in between. In this way, for example, user settings concerning the radio receiver are not sent to the coffee machine.

In a preferred application, a plurality of passive data carriers located at different locations are provided for controlling users present in corresponding control areas around said different locations according to stored user settings and/or commands equipment. For example, multiple such passive data carriers (e.g. RFID tags) could be located on the walls of a room, all storing the same user settings and/or commands, while all data carriers located in another room store a different set of User settings and/or commands.

In another preferred application, a plurality of passive data carriers are associated with different users in order to control the user equipment according to stored user settings and/or commands.

Description of the preferred embodiment

Figure 1 schematically shows a first embodiment using the present invention. In one example, two rooms 1 , 2 are shown, both of which are equipped with one or more RFID tags 3 , 4 , 5 . The reading ranges (ie control areas) of the RFIDs 3 , 4 , 5 are adapted such that the entire room 1 is within the control area of the tag 3 and the entire room 2 is within the control area of the tags 4 and 5 . Furthermore, two user devices are shown by way of example, in particular a mobile phone 6 and an audio device 7 . In order to explicitly program the tags 3, 4, 5, a programming device 8 is provided. Details of the tags 3, 4, 5 and devices 6, 7, 8 will be explained below with reference to Figures 2-4. Although a block diagram of a tag 3 or a user device 6 is shown as an example in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the other tags 4 , 5 or other user devices 7 each have the same or similar structure.

According to the invention, user settings and/or commands are stored in the storage unit 31 of the tag 3 (see Fig. 2). The storage unit 31 may be separated into subunits for storing different user settings and/or commands for different types, different groups of user equipment or different user equipment items. For example, there may be a subunit storing user settings and/or commands for a mobile phone and a different subunit storing user settings and/or commands for an audio device. Furthermore, a subunit may be used to store user settings and/or commands for a particular user device of a particular user. Alternatively, since tags should be cheaper, different tags are used for different devices, device types, device groups, users, user types, user groups.

The receiver 32 of the tag 3 receives the RF signal transmitted by the RF transmitter 61 of the device 6 when eg a user device (mobile phone 6 as shown in FIG. 1 ) enters the room 1 , ie enters the control area of the tag 3 . For example, transmitter 61 continuously generates an RF sinusoidal carrier, which is used to transmit energy to and acquire data from passive RFID tags. These sine waves are introduced into a receiver 32, which is typically a wound or printed coil. Once the tag 3 has received enough energy to operate correctly, it divides the carrier down and begins clocking the data it stores in memory 31 to an output unit 33, which is usually an output transistor, usually across the coil input. The tag's output transistor bypasses the coil and sequentially corresponds to the data being clocked out of the memory 31, which results in a momentary fluctuation (damping) of the carrier, which can be seen as a slight change in the carrier amplitude, i.e. preferably implemented RF signal modulation.

The detector 62 of the user equipment 6 is capable of peak detection on the amplitude modulated data which is then processed by the processing unit 63 . In particular, user settings and/or commands embedded in the detected RF signal modulation (which are intended to be used by a particular user device 6 ) are retrieved therefrom and provided to the controller 64 for controlling that user device 6 .

For example, the data stored in the memory 31 of the tag 3 may include an order that any mobile phone 6 located within the control area of the tag 3 should be switched to vibrate mode instead of normal ring mode, because in e.g. Room 1 of the church should avoid any disturbing noise. The controller 64 may also be adapted such that when the mobile phone 6 leaves the control area of the tag 3 (ie when it leaves the room 1 ), the mobile phone returns to the previous mode of operation.

The user device 6 is also equipped with a programming unit 65 for programming the tag and an input unit 66 for entering user settings and/or commands for controlling the user device 6 . For example, the user of the mobile phone 6 can switch the phone 6 to vibrate mode when entering the room 1 or when already in the room 1, or switch off the phone 6 completely manually by using the mobile phone's terminal. This state is then automatically programmed into the tag 3 by using the programming unit 65 , in particular by sending an RF signal by the transmitter 61 . These RF signals carry appropriate information, which can be detected by the receiver 32 and processed by the processing unit 34 of the tag 3 for storage in the memory 31 . The mobile phone 6 can then be moved out of the room 1 and brought into another state at another location, eg in room 2, the mobile phone 6 is switched on again or switched to normal operating mode. Once the mobile phone 6 returns to the room 1 again, the last state of the mobile phone 6 still stored in the memory 31 will be detected so that it returns to the programmed state corresponding to the room 1, i.e. the mobile phone 6 is respectively Automatically shut off or be switched to vibrate mode.

Furthermore, if another similar device (i.e. another mobile phone) is also brought into room 1, it will interpret the detection of a programmed tag as a command to enter the room left by the previous mobile phone 6. Status in tab 3.

In another case, eg in room 2 (which could be a bedroom), the tags 4, 5 could be programmed to set a maximum volume command. Each user device (e.g. audio device 7) entering room 2 will then read tags 4, 5 (or at least one of the tags, both storing the same data), and the maximum volume command will cause audio device 7 to turn the volume Decrease to the maximum level stored.

In another embodiment, a tag at the entrance of a church may include a special serial number, which has been defined in the standard/specification to correspond to a silent command for the mobile phone. Every mobile phone of a person entering the church will read this serial number and change to silent mode until a special serial number of a tag sealed in the wall at the exit changes the mobile phone to normal mode again.

It will be understood from the above two examples that some of the data stored in the tag's memory can be changed by the user or user equipment, while other parts (eg maximum volume command or silent mode command) cannot be changed.

In addition to the user devices 6 and 7, a separate programming device 8 may be provided which includes a transmitter 81, a processor 82 and an input unit 83 similar to and having the same function as in the user device 6. With such a programming device 8, certain user settings or commands (such as the silent mode command in the previous example) can be explicitly programmed into a particular tag.

Figure 5 schematically shows another embodiment using the present invention. As an example, a room 10 is shown with different user equipment 11, 12, 13 and different passive data carriers 21, 22 associated with different users. Details of the user equipment 11 , 12 , 13 and the passive data carrier 21 , 22 will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7 . Although a block diagram of a user device 11 or a passive data carrier 21 respectively is shown as an example in FIGS. 6 and 7 , other user devices 12 , 13 or passive data carriers 22 respectively have the same or similar structure.

The manner in which the user equipment is controlled according to the embodiment shown in Fig. 5 is substantially the same as described above with reference to Figs. 1-4, and the user equipment and the passive data carrier have corresponding features. The main difference from the above description is that the passive data carrier in the embodiment shown in Fig. 5 is mobile instead of having a fixed position.

Each passive data carrier 21,22 is surrounded by a control area 23,24. When a user equipped with a passive data carrier 21, 22 approaches a user equipment 11, 12, 13, the user equipment 11, 12, 13 will be within control, as shown for the passive data carrier 22 and the user equipment 12 like that. The control ranges 23, 24 may have different sizes.

When the user equipment 12 is within the control range 24 of the passive data carrier 22, a communication similar to that described above with reference to Figures 1-3 will take place. In addition to the means of the user equipment 6, the user equipment 12 also includes identification means 121 for embedding identification information identifying the user equipment 12 and/or the type of the user equipment 12 into the RF signal. These signals are received by said passive data carrier 22 similar to that described above with reference to FIG. 2 , said passive data carrier 22 further comprising identifier means 221 and selection means 222 . The received signal is processed by identifier means 221 in order to obtain said identification information. The stored user settings and/or commands relating to the identified user device 12 are then selected by the selection means 222 from the memory 31 and output by the passive data carrier 22 to the user device 12 . User settings and/or commands relating to the identified user equipment 12 and sent from the user equipment 12 to the passive data carrier 22 may also be stored in a memory within the subunit relating to the user equipment 12 or type of user equipment 12 31 in.

For example, user equipment 11 may be a coffee machine, user equipment 12 may be a type A television, and user equipment 13 may be a type B television with ID BXYZ. The passive data carrier 22 for storing user settings and/or commands for controlling all these user devices 11 , 12 , 13 has subunits 223 , 224 for coffee machines and television sets, as shown in FIG. 8 . The subunit 224 for televisions is further divided into subunits 225, 226 for type A and type B televisions. There is another subunit 227 for a television with ID BXYZ, which can also be a subunit of subunit 226.

If any type of television is present within the range of control of the passive data carrier 22, the television will be controlled according to stored user settings and/or commands for typical televisions. If the current user equipment 13 is for example identified as a type B television, it will further receive user settings and/or commands stored for type B, in addition to user settings and/or commands for general televisions. If there are user settings and/or commands stored for a particular TV set (as represented by its ID BXYZ), then only the TV set with the corresponding ID will be controlled according to the correspondingly stored user settings and/or commands. Furthermore, it is possible for the user equipment 11, 12, 13 to program the passive data carrier 22 so that while storing user settings and/or commands in different subunits 224, 225, 226 depending on the type of user equipment, the The above user settings and/or commands should be shared.

Preferably, after first encountering a new user equipment or a new user equipment type, the passive data carrier 21, 22 is able to divide its entire memory into new subunits related to this user equipment or to this type.

Other examples of use of the present invention include establishing synchronization zones. Commands sent by tags can be used to start a synchronization procedure. This setup process is expected to be less complex and use less power than if the environment were continuously scanned by the user equipment to detect synchronization opportunities. Alternatively, the user always initiates the synchronization himself. This embodiment also makes it possible to selectively initiate the synchronization procedure by appending an identifier to the command, e.g. a specific mobile device initiates synchronization only when it detects a specific assigned identifier combined with the synchronization command .

The proposed invention for programming passive data carriers, especially passive RFID tags, offers flexible use and wide application. Desired user settings and/or commands can be specified and stored in a tag and read by all other user devices, i.e. not only the user device where the information is stored but all other user equipment. Commands or user settings for other device types or other device instances can be left behind, and responses to specific identifiers need not be programmed into user devices that need to respond to the tag. In particular, according to the invention, no extensive training of the user equipment is required.
