Description

Title of the invention: LUGGAGE ATTENTIVE TO INCOMING EVENT Scope of the invention

[0001] The field of the invention is that of communication, and in particular of incoming communication notification on a portable communication device.

[0002] More specifically, the invention relates to a signaling device for the arrival of a communication.

[0003] The invention finds particular application in the field of smart luggage, in order not to miss the arrival of a message or a call, typically when the smart luggage is a handbag in which the mobile phone of its user is carried. State of the art

[0004] The prior art relates primarily to notification devices for personal communication devices, such as mobile phones. These devices are widely used for voice communication and sending text or instant messages. Although their popularity is undeniable, mobile phones have certain limitations in terms of ease of use.

[0005] The phone must be switched on to receive incoming calls; otherwise, the user risks missing important communications. Furthermore, in environments where audible ringtones are inappropriate, users often switch to "vibrate" mode. However, this mode is not always effective. For example, when the phone is placed in luggage, a purse, or a backpack, the user may not perceive the vibration signal, resulting in missed calls or delayed notifications.

[0006] Objectives of the invention

[0007] The invention therefore aims in particular to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned above.

[0008] More specifically, the invention aims to provide an attentive piece of luggage, intended to accommodate a user's portable communication device, comprising an information device configured to notify the user of the reception of an incoming communication, from the portable communication device located inside or near the luggage.

[0009] An objective of the invention is also to provide a technique enabling a user to not miss calls or messages even when he is on the move.

[0010] Another objective of the invention is to provide such a technique that produces discreet notifications to its user. For example, it is an objective of the invention to avoid noise emissions in unsuitable conditions or locations such as waiting rooms, cinemas, etc.

[0011] Another objective of the invention is to provide such a technique which is simple to implement and of reduced cost.

[0012] An objective of the invention is also to propose such a technique which is easy to store and transport, while maintaining optimal functionality.

[0013] Another objective of the invention is to provide such a technique which is reliable, ensuring accurate notification and safe for the consumer. Description of the invention

[0014] These objectives, as well as others that will subsequently arise, are achieved using a piece of luggage designed to hold a user's portable communication device. According to the invention, this luggage includes an information device configured to notify the user of the reception of an incoming communication, referred to as an event, from the portable communication device located inside or near the luggage. The information device comprises: - a power supply battery for the information device; - a means of detecting the incoming event; - a sensory signaling device to inform the user of the detected event; - a processing means configured to perform the steps of: - processing the incoming event detected by the detection means; and - activating the signaling means, so as to inform the user of the detected event.

[0015] Thus, a person using such a secure bag, in which they place their mobile phone, for example, is no longer at risk of missing a call, a text message, or an email, thanks to these technical features. It is understood that the portable communication device can be any other means of communication, such as a tablet or a computer.

[0016] According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the means for detecting the incoming event comprises a vibration sensor.

[0017] Thanks to these technical characteristics, the attentive luggage monitors the portable communication device to detect, in silent mode, notifications of incoming events signified by the production of vibration.

[0018] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the incoming event detection means is configured to identify different vibration profiles.

[0019] According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the incoming event detection means is capable of learning and storing at least two different vibration profiles of the portable communication device used by the user

[0020] Thus, when the portable communication device generates different vibrations depending on the type of incoming event, the detection means is capable of identifying the differences and providing discriminating information to the processing means. In other words, the detection means is capable of indicating to the processing means that the incoming event is: • a call, for example, a telephone call; or • an email, and possibly specifying whether the email is: • a short message of the SMS type (from the English acronym "Short Message Service" or short message service included in the SS7 telephone signaling protocol of the GSM standard); or • an email.

[0021] Thus, even without means of communication and exchange of information between the portable communication device and the luggage, it is possible to specify to the user the type of incoming events received.

[0022] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the incoming event detection means comprises a first near-field communication means configured to receive the incoming event emitted by the portable communication device.

[0023] Thanks to these technical characteristics, the detection means is capable of communicating with the portable communication device and receiving notification of the incoming event. Furthermore, the information on incoming events can be enriched and include, for example, the name of the caller in the case of a call, or the name of the caller and the short message (SMS) or the text contained in the email.

[0024] According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the signaling means is located away from the luggage, and the information device comprises, connected to the processing means, a second field communication means close capable of communicating with a third near-field communication means equipping the remote signaling means, so as to inform the user of the detected event, by activating the remote signaling means.

[0025] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one near-field communication means is configured to implement, at least partially, a Bluetooth and / or NFC and / or Qi type communication standard.

[0026] Thanks to these technical characteristics, the risks of interference with other emitting devices are reduced.

[0027] According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one near-field communication means implements an ultra-low power radio protocol.

[0028] Thanks to these technical characteristics, the autonomy of the attentive luggage is extended.

[0029] Thanks to these technical characteristics, the attentive luggage serves as a relay by means of signaling that the user is wearing. It is then no longer necessary to hold, or see the luggage to be warned of the arrival of the incoming event.

[0030] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the remote signaling means is chosen from an item of clothing, an accessory and a piece of jewelry.

[0031] Thanks to these technical characteristics, the signaling device remains discreet. The user can wear it as they see fit.

[0032] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the jewel is chosen from a clasp, a ring, a band, a buckle, an earring, a bracelet, a brooch, a button, a headpiece, a necklace, a pin, a bangle, a medal, a pendant, a watch, a headband and a solitaire.

[0033] Thus, for example, the user can adapt the signaling device according to her clothing. The user is then notified very discreetly, for example by the vibration of an earring, a ring or a watch strap.

[0034] According to one embodiment of the invention, the clothing element equipped with the remote signaling means is chosen from a button, a collar, a facing element, a flap, a lapel, a pocket, a cuff, a filling or a hem.

[0035] According to one embodiment, the accessory is a fashion accessory. Typically, a fashion accessory is a garter, an armband, a belt, a corset, or a waist cincher.

[0036] According to one embodiment of the invention, the signaling means is a visual means and / or an auditory means and / or an olfactory means and / or a tactile means.

[0037] According to one embodiment of the invention, the visual signaling means is chosen from one or more of the following element(s): a light-emitting diode, a screen.

[0038] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the auditory signaling means is a vibration generator, and / or a loudspeaker.

[0039] Thus, it is possible to choose to emit a different signal depending on the type of incoming events, for example, different vibration frequencies. Or, with a loudspeaker, a sound signal based on different sound signatures, see the emission of messages (such as voice messages), the emission of different musical excerpts or "jingles" depending on the incoming event.

[0040] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the processing means includes means for connecting to a hands-free kit, the processing means being configured so as to communicate with and use the speaker of the hands-free kit as an auditory signaling means.

[0041] According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the processing means is capable of transcribing messages, whether short messages or the text of emails, into a voice message broadcast by the auditory signaling means, when it includes a loudspeaker.

[0042] Thanks to these technical features, when a message arrives, the user can, on the one hand, hear an audible signal alerting her to the arrival of the incoming event. But this user can also, on the other hand, when the incoming event is a message, listen to the transcription of the message (SMS or email).

[0043] In addition, for an incoming call, the user can hear the caller. Equipped with a hands-free kit, she can also communicate with the caller.

[0044] According to one embodiment of the invention, the olfactory signaling means is a fragrance diffuser, and / or a humidity diffuser, and / or a vapor diffuser.

[0045] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the tactile signaling means is chosen from a vibration generator, a movable blade under constraint, a braille display element.

[0046] Thanks to these technical characteristics, the user of the luggage who carries her handbag by the handles, the shoulder strap or the wrist strap, feels the discreet movement of the mobile blade in the handles, respectively the shoulder strap or the wrist strap, when the mobile blade is activated by the signaling means.

[0047] According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the information device includes a persistent storage means for a user contact list, the contact list being associated with a set of rules forming a communication code with the user, the rules being applied, depending on the incoming event, by the processing means to activate the signaling means.

[0048] According to a preferred embodiment, the invention includes a means for defining the communication code, recorded by the persistent storage means of the information device, from the portable communication device. The defining means is thus able to fix, modify, transmit, by means of processing, each rule of the set of rules

[0049] Furthermore, the processing means is configured to record each received rule in the storage means. Thus, upon receiving an incoming communication, the processing means refers to the communication code defined between the attentive baggage and the user to activate the signaling appropriate to the circumstances.

[0050] In other words, the invention includes a means for defining the communication code, the definition means being capable of fixing and / or modifying, and transmitting, by means of processing, each rule of the set of rules, from the portable communication device, through the first near-field communication means to the processing means, the processing means being configured to record each received rule in the storage means.

[0051] Thanks to these technical characteristics, a communication code is defined and definable between the user and the attentive device. All available signal types—visual, auditory, etc.—can be used with the attentive device to define this communication code, for the application of differentiated signaling. Thus, the processing means configures the signaling activation order according to the incoming event and / or the contact that triggered this event, to choose how to inform the user each time an incoming communication is received. Figures

[0052] Other features and advantages of the invention will become more apparent upon reading the following description of a particular embodiment of the invention, given by way of simple illustrative and non-limiting example, and the accompanying drawings, among which: - [Fig.1] [Fig.1] is a view of a towel equipped with an information device comprising a remote signaling means according to the invention; - [Fig.2] [Fig.2] is a synoptic representation of the device information from [Fig.1].

[0053] Only the elements necessary for understanding the invention have been shown. To facilitate reading the drawings, the same elements bear the same reference numerals from one figure to another. Detailed description of the invention

[0054] Reference will now be made in detail to specific implementations illustrated in the attached drawings and figures.

[0055] In the following detailed description, many specific details are presented to provide a thorough understanding of the invention.

[0056] However, it will be clear to a person skilled in the art that implementations can be put into practice without these specific details.

[0057] In other cases, well-known processes, procedures, components, circuits and networks have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the implementations.

[0058] In [Fig.1], a piece of luggage 1 according to the invention is shown, attentive to the reception of an incoming communication by a portable communication device 1230, so as to warn the user of the piece of luggage 1 so that he does not miss any call, message, or email, called incoming events.

[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, the luggage 1 is equipped with an information device 2 for managing incoming events and notifying the user. Thus, the information device 2 includes a signaling means 3 for the arrival of an incoming event by means of one or more sensory signaling elements, for example, of the visual and / or auditory and / or tactile and / or olfactory type. The luggage 1 of [Fig. 1] comprises, on the one hand, onboard sensory signaling elements, and on the other hand, a remote signaling device or means 50, represented here in the form of a pair of earrings 51.

[0060] The sensory signaling elements carried in the luggage 1 are, a light-emitting diode or LED 30 (known by the English acronym LED, where "Light Emitting Diode") as a visual element, a loudspeaker 32 as an audible element, a display or screen 33 and under the handle a tactile braille display element 34 (represented simplified here, for reasons of clarity of the figure).

[0061] With regard to the remote signaling means 50, the earring(s) 51 are equipped with a vibration generator 31. Furthermore, one of the earring(s) 51 includes, in this illustrated embodiment, remote control means 52 which will be detailed later.

[0062] Figure 2 shows a synoptic representation of the information device 2, which is responsible for managing the arrival of incoming events. The information device 2 is an embedded device comprising a battery 7 for powering the device, a detection means 5, a processing means 6, and a signaling means 3.

[0063] To notify the user of the incoming event 4, the signaling means 3 includes at least one sensory information element. In [Fig. 2], the signaling means 3 includes the optional remote signaling means 50, shown in dashed lines. In this illustration, the signaling means 3 includes, as sensory information elements, the LED 30, the vibration generator 31, the loudspeaker 32, and the screen 33, as shown in Figure 1 of [Fig. 1].

[0064] Equipping the remote signaling means 50, as shown in [Fig. 2], are the LED 30, the vibration generator 31, the loudspeaker 32, and the screen 33. Of course, any combination of sensory information elements falls within the scope of the invention, from a single element to the combination illustrated. Furthermore, the remote signaling means 50 may optionally include remote control means 52 for operating the signaling, for example, to mute an audible notification.

[0065] Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, the information device 2 is capable of communicating with the portable communication device 1230. Thus, the information device 2 comprises a first near-field communication means 21 for communicating with the portable communication device 1230, forming a first communication channel. The detection means 5 uses the first communication channel, supported by the first communication means 21, to exchange information with the portable communication device 1230. In this embodiment, the detection means 5 receives information data from the portable communication device 1230, from which it identifies the arrival of incoming events 4. The detection means 5 can then signal the arrival of incoming events 4 to the processing means 6.

[0066] In addition, optionally, the detection means 5 also transmits the type of the received incoming event 4 to the processing means 6. Alternatively, according to a variant, the processing means 6 is configured to itself identify the type of the received incoming event 4. Thus, the processing means 6 is able to determine the type of activation of the signaling means to be implemented. In other words, the activated signaling means informs the owner of the baggage 1 of the receipt of an incoming event, but optionally, it also specifies the type of this incoming event, and even who caused it, according to communication codes configured by the user of the baggage 1.

[0067] In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, the information device 2 includes the remote signaling means 50, with which it communicates in order to activate the signaling elements that the remote signaling means 50 incorporates. To this end, the information device 2 includes a second near-field communication means 22 capable of communicating via a third near-field communication means 53 equipping the remote signaling means 50. This second near-field communication means 22, connected to the third near-field communication means 53, forms a second communication channel. Thus, this second communication channel allows the exchange of information in both directions between the information device 2 and the remote signaling means 50. In particular, this allows by means of processing 6 and remote signaling means 50 to communicate together. In addition, the remote signaling means 50, which includes the remote control means 52, can remotely control the information device 2. Thus, thanks to the second communication channel and the remote control means 52, the user can interrupt a signal, for example, silence a ringer, or they can act on the parameters and therefore the behavior of the processing means 6 to customize notifications of incoming events. In other words, the buttons 52 forming the remote control means allow interaction with the processing means 6, firstly to transmit a command (interrupting a ringer, a vibration, cutting off a communication, etc.), and secondly to configure the behavior parameters of the processing means 6. This configuration relates to the behavior of the processing means 6 based, in particular, on the type of incoming event, a contact list, and priority levels. These priority levels can also be linked to the contact / incoming event combination.For example, for a given contact, the priority for signaling a call differs from that for receiving an email or an SMS. The behavior, and therefore the communication codes, with the user define, for example, that an LED is lit upon the arrival of a message and flashes for a missed call. However, the communication code is configured differently by the user when a priority contact calls. For instance, in such a case, the communication code is defined by the user so that a beep replaces the default flashing. In other words, the communication code, as defined in this invention, refers to the set of rules enabling the processing means 6 to inform the user according to their choices, depending on the situation. The communication code relies in particular on the various signaling methods.

[0068] To facilitate behavior management, the processing means 6 is also capable of receiving the user's contact list. This contact list is transmitted and shared, at the user's request, by the portable communication device 1230, via the first and second communication means 21, 22, to the processing means 6. To store this contact list, the processing means 6 includes a persistent data storage means for recording the contact list, also called the user directory. This means is, for example, non-volatile memory, such as NVRAM.

[0069] According to an advantageous embodiment, the invention provides a configuration application, or definition means, for the communication code of the processing means 6. This application is intended to be installed on the device of Portable communication 1230, then forming, with the attentive baggage 1, an attentive system. The system thus formed makes it possible to determine and set the behavior that the processing means 6 must adopt depending on the origin of the incoming event 4. By origin, we mean the contact sending the incoming event 4, a contact considered known if it is present in the stored contact list, or an unknown contact. Thus, using the configuration application, the user can specify the communication code and therefore the behavior to be implemented, for each contact, and / or by user categories (for example: company management, prospect, supplier, family, etc.), by category of incoming events (for example: call, text message, email). The user can also set permanent or temporary priorities (for example, for a specific duration or according to a schedule).Finally, with these general or specific configuration elements (contacts, categories, priorities, incoming events, etc.), i.e. the communication code locally stored by the information device 2, the processing means 6 adapts the behavior to apply that desired by the user according to the situations.

[0070] According to the embodiment, the tactile braille display element 34 comprises at least one braille cell and advantageously a group of braille cells forming a typical line. Furthermore, each braille cell is adapted to the target language: Korean, Cyrillic, Japanese, or languages ​​based on the Latin alphabet. Typically, a braille cell consists of a six-dot matrix in two columns and, in the case of the Latin alphabet, allows the display of the different letters of the alphabet. Depending on the requirements, each braille cell may consist of an eight-dot matrix in two columns, known as computer braille. Thus, the tactile braille display element 34 allows messages in braille to be communicated to the user of the autistic device.

[0071] As mentioned, the earrings 51 illustrate an example of the remote means 50. Thus, a piece of jewelry such as a clasp, a ring, a buckle, an earring, a bracelet, a brooch, a button, a headpiece, a necklace, a pin, a bangle, a medal, a pendant, a watch, a headband, or a solitaire ring is then equipped with one or more of the aforementioned signaling elements. It is then the illuminated or flashing LED, the loudspeaker emitting a sound signal, or the vibrator vibrating at a predetermined frequency, depending on the type of incoming event, that informs the user of its reception by the portable communication device 1230.

[0072] According to one embodiment of the invention, the garment element equipped with the remote signaling means can also be a button, a collar, a facing element, a flap, a lapel, a pocket, a cuff, a pleat, or a hem. It is It is understood that an accessory such as a fashion accessory equipped with the remote signaling means also falls within the scope of the invention. Typically, the fashion accessory may be a garter, an armband, a belt, a corset, or a waist cincher.

[0073] Thus, the user has complete freedom to choose the signaling method according to her preferences, for example, her clothing. Furthermore, using a signaling method coordinated with her clothing makes the notification technique even more discreet.

[0074] Moreover, the fashion accessory is only a subset of the category of accessories which may include any other item such as a key ring, an electric gate remote control, etc.

[0075] According to an alternative embodiment, the detection means 5 includes a vibration sensor. The detection means 5 is then configured to identify vibrations emitted by the portable communication device 1230, which is configured to emit vibrations upon receiving a call or message. If vibrations corresponding to those emitted by the portable communication device 1230 are identified, the detection means 5 informs the processing means 6, as in the previous embodiment.

[0076] Furthermore, the detection means 5 is also configured and capable of distinguishing different determined vibration profiles that correspond to the different types of incoming events received by the portable communication device 1230. Thus, if the portable communication device 1230 is capable of generating distinctive profiles according to the type of incoming event 4, the detection means 5 is able to transmit this accuracy to the processing means 6.

[0077] In variants of the embodiments of the invention detailed above, it may also be provided that: - Voice reading of the received message (short message and / or email) via the hands-free kit earpiece or a speaker. A transcription module, included in the signaling device, is then configured to transcribe the text message into a voice message broadcast via the speaker of the hands-free kit or luggage; - 52 buttons directly equipping the main part of the luggage 1 attentive, for example the handle, the strap or even a flap, or a side; - the signaling means which includes only one or more sensory signaling elements on board, in other words integrated into baggage 1, to increase autonomy and / or reduce the cost of baggage.

[0078] It should be understood that the elements shown in the figures can be implemented in various forms of hardware, software or combinations of these.
