Abstract

A transmission frame and a telecommunications device (60, 65, 70) having a transmission frame (1) are proposed, which are used to transmit short messages (5) in a telecommunications network (10), in particular in a radiotelecommunications network. By means of the transmission frame (1), especially flexible transmission of short messages (5) in the telecommunications network (10) is possible. At least two data fields (15, 20, 25, 30) are provided. Data of a short message (5) are stored in memory in the data fields (15, 20, 25, 30). Data in a first data format are stored in a first data field (15), and data in a second data format, different from the first data format, are stored in a second data field (20).

Claims

1-12. -12. (canceled)

13. A method for processing a short message in a telecommunications network, in particular in a radio telecommunications network, including the steps of

receiving a short message, wherein data of the short message are stored in a transmission frame having at least two data fields, wherein data in a first data format are stored in a first data field and data in a second data format, different from the first data format, which identifies a makeup of and wherein a first ID code, which identifies a makeup of the short message, is provided in the first data field;

evaluating the received data fields on a basis of the first ID code; and

playing back the short message in visual and/or acoustical form.

14. The method of claim 13, further including the steps of storing the short message in memory, after the step of receiving the short message.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the transmission frame includes in each of at least two data fields, one data-field-specific ID code, which identifies the makeup and/or content of a corresponding data field per data field, and wherein the method further includes the step of evaluating the received data fields on a basis of the data-field-specific ID codes.

16. The method of claim 15, further including the step of adapting by means of the data-specific-ID codes a playback of the data transmitted with the data field to its own playback capabilities.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein the transmission frame includes in the first data field a second ID code, which identifies a content of the short message, and wherein the method further includes the step of evaluating the received data fields on a basis of the second ID code.

18. The method of claim 13, further including the steps of adapting a playback of the data transmitted with the data fields to its own playback capabilities.

22. A subscribed being adapted to perform the method according to claim 13.

19. A method for processing a short message in a telecommunications network, in particular in a radio telecommunications network, including the steps of

receiving a short message, wherein data of the short message are stored in a transmission frame having at least two data fields, wherein data in a first data format are stored in a first data field and data in a second data format, different from the first data format, are stored in a second data field, and wherein a first ID code, which identifies a makeup of the short message, is provided in the first data field;

storing the short message in memory;

evaluating the received data fields on a basis of the first ID code;

adapting a playback of the data transmitted with the data fields to his own playback capabilities; and

playing back the short message in visual and/or acoustical form.

20. A method for processing a short message in a telecommunications network, in particular in a radio telecommunications network, including the steps of

receiving a short message, wherein data of the short message are stored in a transmission frame having at least two data fields, wherein data in a first data format are stored in a first data field and data in a second data format, different from the first data format, are stored in a second data field, wherein a first ID code, which identifies a makeup of the short message, is provided in the first data field, and wherein the transmission frame includes in each of at least two data fields, one data-field-specific ID code, which identifies the makeup and/or content of the corresponding data field per data field;

storing the short message in memory;

evaluating the received data fields on a basis of the first ID code and on a basis of the data-field-specific ID codes;

adapting by means of the data-specific-ID codes a playback of the data transmitted with the data fields to its own playback capabilities; and

playing back the short message in visual and/or acoustical form.

21. A method for processing a short message in a telecommunications network, in particular in a radio telecommunications network, including the steps of

downloading a short message, wherein data of the short message are stored in a transmission frame having at least two dat fields, wherein data in a first data format are stored in a first data field and data in a second data format, different from the first data format, are stored in a second data field, wherein a first ID code, which identifies a makeup of the short message, is provided in the first data field;

evaluating the received data fields on a basis of the first ID code; and

playing back the short message in visual and/or acoustical form.
