Abstract

The key finder has a combination of components that are used in the communication with people. A new function allows retrieval of objects, where interaction between a Never Get Lost and a mobile terminal is completely independent. A robust body protects an internal electronic component.

Description

Short version:

Technical problem of the invention:

One almost guaranteed retrieval of valuables is at the current state the technology is not possible. objects become very common lost and not found at all or not found in time. Especially with valuable items like car keys, purses and locking system keys is The loss often not only financially very bad, but also also associated with high follow-up effort.

solution the technical task

electronic pendant or component which makes it possible to find it again in case of loss. Applications mainly key and valuables like purses and wallets through the miniaturization of mobile phone components

• – einen sehr robusten Korpus, der die innenliegenden elektronischen Bauteile in genügend großem Maße schützt.
• – Eine bluetooth Einheit, die mit zwei Technologien ausgerüstet ist, die GPS, NFC und der 20 Kanal SIRF Star III und SIRFXTrac II Technologie (bestehende Technologie) ausgestattet ist.
• – Akustisches Bauteil mit Verstärker für 100 m Reichweitenüberschreitung
• – Einzelne Mobiltelefonbauteile und -funktionen wie Sender/Empfänger, reduzierte Funktionalitäten wie Anwahl beschränkt auf 2 Rufnummern, Empfang, Sleepmodus, Wiederwahl.
• – hochleistungsfähige Batterie mit wenigstens 1 Jahr Laufzeit ohne aktiven Einsatz im o. g. Sinne.
• – GPS Sender/Empfänger mit direkter Anbindung zu Location Based Services wie z. B. google gears um eine möglichst einfache Ortung des verlorenen Gegenstandes vorzunehmen.
• – Vorrichtung zur reduzierten Sendeleistung der Mobiltelefonbauteile mit integriertem Modul zur gezielten Sendeleistung seitens der Mobilfunkmasten

The NeverGetLost consists of the following technical components:

• - A very robust body, which protects the internal electronic components sufficiently large.
• - A bluetooth unit equipped with two technologies, equipped with GPS, NFC and the 20 channel SIRF Star III and SIRFXTrac II technology (existing technology).
• - Acoustic component with amplifier for 100 m range overshoot
• - Individual mobile phone components and functions such as transmitter / receiver, reduced functionality such as dialing limited to 2 numbers, reception, sleep mode, re-election.
• - High-performance battery with at least 1 year running time without active use in the above sense.
• - GPS transmitter / receiver with direct connection to location based services such. B. google gears to make the simplest possible location of the lost object.
• - Device for reduced transmission power of mobile phone components with integrated module for targeted transmission power from the mobile masts

When Prerequisite a GPS enabled Cellular phone to receive information from NeverGetLost Locating the lost object

A Remote programming of NeverGetLost is only possible via the owner's mobile phone possible to thereby preventing abuse.

field of use

So far are not effective and such reliable electronic devices or Process patented or available on the market. There are z. Eg agencies, the key chain with No and offer free service numbers. There are also GPS stations and receiver me different ranges and performance features likewise available in the market or patent pending. Mobile phones with integrated GPS and include bluetooth now standard. Nevertheless, a method is shown as follows mE not received in the trade. It is a compilation of common market Components to a new purpose Procedure with new features.

Process on the example of a lost key

• 1. Möglichkeit: Bluetooth Bluetooth Sender übermittelt Signal an Handy bei Entfernung über 50 m. Handy empfängt Signal und klingelt mit SMS: Schlüsselverlust droht Schlüsselbesitzer geht zurück und findet den Schlüssel an seinem Platz.
• 2. Möglichkeit: Schlüsselbesitzer verliert Schlüsselbund und fährt weiter weg Schlüssel erwacht nach 2 Std. selbstständig aus dem Spleen Modus. Sendet eine SMS an Schlüsselbesitzer und übermittelt GPS Daten mit und an den Handybesitzer
• 3. Möglichkeit: Schlüsselbesitzer bemerkt Verlust selber erst viel später Schlüsselbesitzer ruft Schlüssel an. Dadurch wird GPS Sendemodus aktiviert ungefähre Schlüsselposition wird ermittelt (Triangelverfahren) GPS Daten werden an Handy des Schlüsselbesitzers übermittelt über google maps, tomtom, falk o. ä. wird Straße, Ort gefunden, in dessen Umkreis der Schlüssel sich befindet. Alternativ dazu kann das Mobiltelefon bei Vorhandensein eines Navigationssystem den Besitzer in das Verlustgebiet lotsen. Über Location Based Services in großen Teilen der zivilisierten Welt kann eine Verortung und Positionierung auch in schwierigen Positionen erfolgen und auf nahezu 50 m genau erfolgen. Danach kann mit bluetooth GPS eine exakte Verortung geschehen. Wenn der Schlüsselbesitzer sich nicht mehr daran erinnert, wo genau der Schlüssel sich befinden könnte, sendet das Mobiltelefon des Besitzers ein Signal an den Schlüssel, dass er ein starkes Bluetooth oder ein akustisches Signal bei genügender Reichweite aussenden soll. Das Bluetooth Signal hilft dem Handybesitzer den Schlüssel zu orten und zu finden. Aufgrund einer speziellen bluetooth Programmierung werden keine anderen Signale von andern Sendern zugelassen, so dass eine 1 zu 1 Verbindung das wiederfinden nahezu garantiert. Sollte das NeverGetLost im Ausland verloren gehen und das eigenhändige Auffinden nicht möglich sein, kann eine unabhängige Agentur damit beauftragt werden, den NeverGetLost zu finden und zu übersenden.

The key owner loses his house key

• 1st possibility: Bluetooth Bluetooth transmitter transmits signal to mobile phone at distance over 50 m. Mobile phone receives signal and rings with SMS: Key loss threatens key owner returns and finds the key in its place.
• 2nd possibility: Key owner loses keychain and continues to drive away key wakes up after 2 hours independently from the spleen mode. Sends an SMS to key owners and transmits GPS data to and with the mobile phone owner
• 3rd possibility: Key owner notices loss himself much later. Key owner calls key. This activates the GPS transmit mode. Approximate key position is determined (triangle method). GPS data is transmitted to the key owner's cell phone. Google, tomtom, falk or the like will find the street, location within which the key is located. Alternatively, in the presence of a navigation system, the mobile phone may guide the owner into the loss area. With location-based services in large parts of the civilized world, positioning and positioning can also take place in difficult positions and can be performed at a depth of almost 50 meters. Afterwards can be done with bluetooth GPS an exact localization. If the key owner no longer remembers exactly where the key could be, the owner's mobile phone sends a signal to the key that he wants to send out strong Bluetooth or an acoustic signal with sufficient range. The Bluetooth signal helps the cell phone owner locate and find the key. Due to a special bluetooth programming no other signals are allowed by other transmitters, so that a 1 to 1 connection almost guarantees to find again. Should the NeverGetLost be lost abroad and not find your own be possible, an independent agency can be assigned to find and send the NeverGetLost.

Summary:

The NeverGetLost represents a novel invention to regain of valuable objects These include Keys (tags), car keys, purses and Wallets.

By The miniaturization of the electronic components is a pocket-sized case Reach size. Cost-benefit aspects are in the foreground in the design.
