(Subscriber Identity Module)(Subscriber Identity Module)
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Mobilfunkkommunikationemfpangs- und -Sendegeräte, im Folgenden Mobilfunktelefongerät genannt, und ein Telekommunikationsverfahren zum Versorgen und Betreiben von einem Mobilfunktelefon mit mehr als einem also mindestens zwei SIM-Karten (Subscriber Identity Module).The invention relates to a mobile radio communication receiving and transmitting device, hereinafter referred to as a mobile radio telephone device, and a telecommunications method for supplying and operating a mobile radio telephone with more than one, i.e. at least two, SIM cards (Subscriber Identity Module).
Bisher hat ein Telekommunikationsteilnehmer die Möglichkeit sein Mobilfunktelefongerät mit einer bestimmten SIM-Karte zu betreiben. Der Betrieb eines zweiten Mobilfunkgerätes ist mit einer zweiten SIM-Karte, der sogenannten TWIN-Karte möglich, wobei jedoch nur gleichzeitig ein Gerät betrieben werden kann. Ehepaare, die z.B. jeweils über ein eigenes Mobilfunktelefongerät z.B. Handy verfugen, welche mit der SIM- und SIM-TWIN-Karte betrieben werden, können ihre Geräte somit nicht gleichzeitig benutzen.Until now, a telecommunications user has had the option of operating his mobile phone with a specific SIM card. A second mobile phone can be operated with a second SIM card, the so-called TWIN card, but only one device can be operated at a time. Married couples who each have their own mobile phone, e.g. a cell phone, which is operated with the SIM and SIM TWIN card, cannot use their devices at the same time.
Die Intergration und Nutzung einer zweiten SIM-Karte in einem Mobilfunktelefongerät hätte den Vorteil, daß z.B. Ehepaare mit zwei Handys wovon eines mit der TWIN-Karte ausgestattet ist, beide gleichzeitig nutzen können ohne die SIM-Karte austauschen zu müssen. Die Notwendigkeit beide Handys zeitgleich betreiben zu wollen tritt ein, wenn z.B. Ehepaare während eines Stadtbummels getrennte Wege gehen wollen, dennoch gegenseitig erreichbar sein wollen. Die zweite SIM-Karte könnte somit eine wiederaufladbare Gebührenkarte sein, bei der keine monatlichen Grundgebühren entstehen, die laufenden Gesprächskosten gegenüber einer grundgebührpflichtigen SIM-Karte derzeit jedoch höher sind.The integration and use of a second SIM card in a mobile phone would have the advantage that, for example, married couples with two mobile phones, one of which is equipped with the TWIN card, can use both at the same time without having to exchange the SIM card. The need to use both mobile phones at the same time arises when, for example, married couples want to go their separate ways while strolling around town, but still want to be reachable by each other. The second SIM card could therefore be a rechargeable charge card, which does not incur any monthly basic charges, but the ongoing call costs are currently higher than with a SIM card that requires a basic charge.
Bei Aufenthalt im Ausland könnte die zweite im Mobilfunktelefongerät enthaltene SIM-Karte eine wiederaufladbare Gebührenkarte eines ausländischen Netzbetreibers sein. Durch diese Betriebsart werden folgende Vorteile bzw. Kosteneinsparungen erreicht:When staying abroad, the second SIM card in the mobile phone could be a rechargeable charge card from a foreign network operator. This mode of operation offers the following advantages and cost savings:
• Der Mobilfunkteilnehmer ist auch im Ausland über seine die bekannte Handy-Nr. erreichbar.• The mobile phone subscriber can also be reached abroad using his or her known mobile phone number.
• Es werden Kosten gespart: Anrufer, die wissen das sich der betreffende Mobilfunknutzer im Ausland aufhält, wählen den Teilnehmer über das ausländische Netz (2. SIM-Karte) an. Auf diese Weise werden Gesprächskosten eingespart• Costs are saved: Callers who know that the mobile phone user in question is abroad call the subscriber via the foreign network (2nd SIM card). This saves call costs
a) Für den Anrufer, da je nach Festnetzproviderwahl (Festnetzanbieter) Auslandsgespräche mittlerweile kostengünstiger sind als Gespräche vom Deutschen Festnetz ins Deutsche Mobilnetz.a) For the caller, because depending on the landline provider chosen, international calls are now cheaper than calls from the German landline network to the German mobile network.
b) Für den Angerufenen (Handynutzer), da die Gesprächsgebühren vom deutschen Mobilnetz ins ausländische Netz (Kosten die der jeweils Angerufene trägt) entfallen.b) For the called party (mobile phone user), as the call charges from the German mobile network to the foreign network (costs borne by the called party) are eliminated.
Ist der Anrufer und der Angerufene der gleiche Kostenträger (z.B. Mitarbeiter einer Firma, der von seiner Firma von Deutschland aus im Ausland angerufen wird), so können über diesen Weg z. Zt. mehr als 1,00 DM/Minute Gesprächskosten eingespart werden.If the caller and the person called are the same person who bears the same costs (e.g. an employee of a company who is called abroad by his company from Germany), more than 1.00 DM per minute of call costs can currently be saved this way.
Die Erfindung zielt darauf ab, ein Mobilfunktelefongerät zur Verfugung zu stellen, das die obengenannten Nachteile des Stands der Technik überwindet, genauer gesagt, den Betrieb eines Mobilfunktelefongerätes mit einer zweiten oder mehreren SIM-Karten ermöglicht.The invention aims to provide a mobile radio telephone device that overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, more specifically, enables the operation of a mobile radio telephone device with a second or more SIM cards.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist das Mobilfunktelefongerät gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß dieses mindestens mit einer zweiten SIM-Karte ausgestattet wird und über alle im Gerät befindlichen SIM-Karten betrieben werden kann.To achieve this object, the mobile radio telephone device according to the invention is characterized in that it is equipped with at least a second SIM card and can be operated via all SIM cards in the device.
Die Erfindung schlägt dabei vor, daß beide oder ggf. mehrere in einem Gerät enthaltene SIM-Karten parallel genutzt werden können.The invention proposes that both or possibly several SIM cards contained in a device can be used in parallel.
Die Erfindung sieht außerdem vor, daß die Auswahl der zu nutzenden SIM-Karte mittels Software und/oder Hardware erfolgt und die Aktivierung der ausgewählten und zu nutzenden SIM-Karte mittels Software und/oder Hardware vorgenommen wird.The invention further provides that the selection of the SIM card to be used is carried out by means of software and/or hardware and the activation of the selected and used SIM card is carried out by means of software and/or hardware.
Weiterhin sieht die Erfindung vor, daß beide SIM-Karten mittels Software und/oder Hardware parallel aktiviert werden können und die zu nutzende SIM-Karte wahlweise für jede ausgehende Nutzung erfolgt bzw. für ausgehende Nutzungen fest voreingestellt werden kann.Furthermore, the invention provides that both SIM cards can be activated in parallel by means of software and/or hardware and the SIM card to be used can be selected for each outgoing use or can be preset for outgoing uses.
Vorgesehen ist erfindungsgemäß, daß das Mobilfunktelefongerät über beide oder mehrere SIM-Karten erreichbar ist.According to the invention, the mobile telephone device can be accessed via both or several SIM cards.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, daß die zweite SIM-Karte des Mobilfunktelefongerätes eine SIM-Karte eines von der ersten SIM-Karte abweichenden in- oder ausländischen Netzbetreibers sein kann.It is further proposed that the second SIM card of the mobile telephone device can be a SIM card of a domestic or foreign network operator that is different from the first SIM card.
