Logging in of battery-operated mobile parts at base stations with a battery charging device
First Claim
1. A method for registering battery-operated mobile parts at a base station comprising a battery-charging unit, comprising:
- establishing a ready-to-register state between the mobile part to be registered and base station;
executing a registration procedure via wireless communication, wherein prespecified registration data comprising base station, mobile part, system and product-specific identifications, are transmitted between the registering mobile part and the base station;
storing the registration data;
establishing the readiness to register by performing the steps of(a) introducing the mobile part to be registered into a battery-charging unit of the base station, wherein the mobile part becomes connected to the base station via charging contacts;
(b) performing trickle-charging to a battery of the mobile part to be registered for a predetermined time;
(c) checking in the mobile part to be registered whether registration data is stored in the mobile part, in which case the process of establishing the ready-to-register state continues if no registration data is stored, or is aborted if data is already stored;
(d) transferring from the mobile part to be registered to the base station a signal via the charging contacts, wherein the signal notifies the base station of the ready-to-register state on the mobile part side;
(e) detecting the signal at the base station and transmitting a conformation signal from the base station to the mobile part via the charging contact to confirm to the mobile part the receipt of the signal and notifies the base station side ready-to-register status; and
(f) detecting the confirmation signal at the mobile part to be registered wherein the detection of the confirmation signal initiates a registration procedure.

Abstract
In order to improve the logging in of battery-operated mobile parts (MT) in base stations (BS) with a battery charging device (ALE) in telecommunications systems for wireless telecommunication so that a log-in standby state between the mobile part (MT) which is logging in and the base station (BS) can be automatically produced without the user of the telecommunications system having to execute existing described procedures, said log-in standby for a battery operated mobile part (MT) in a base station (BS) with a battery charger in a telecommunications network for wireless telecommunication is produced by means of charging contacts (LK1-M, LK2-M, LK1-B, LK2-B) of the mobile part (MT) and base station (BS), whereupon the log-in procedure is carried out via the aerial interface of the telecommunications system.

9. A system, comprising:
-
a battery-operated mobile part comprising charging contacts; a base station comprising a battery-charging unit, a memory and charging contacts, wherein the mobile part establishes a ready-to-register state with the base station, and a registration procedure is executed via wireless communication, wherein prespecified registration data comprising base station, mobile part, system and product-specific identifications, are transmitted and stored in the memory of the base station, and wherein the ready to register mobile part and base station establish a readiness to register, (a) wherein the mobile part to be registered is connected into the battery-charging unit of the base station via the charging contacts; (b) wherein the base station comprises means for performing trickle-charging to a battery of the mobile part to be registered for a predetermined time; (c) wherein the mobile part to be registered comprises checking means to check whether registration data is stored in the mobile part, in which case the process of establishing the ready-to-register state continues if no registration data is stored, or is aborted if data is already stored; (d) wherein the mobile part to be registered comprises signal means for transferring to the base station a signal via the charging contacts, wherein the signal notifies the base station of the ready-to-register state on the mobile part side; (e) wherein the base station comprises detecting means for detecting the signal and transmits a conformation signal to the mobile part via charging contact to confirm receipt of the signal and notifies the base station side ready-to-register status; and (f) wherein the mobile part to be registered detects the confirmation signal and initiates a registration procedure. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A telecommunications system for wireless telecommunications, comprising at least one base station having a battery-charging unit and at least one battery-operated mobile part, wherein the base station and the mobile part can establish a ready-to-register state and with which, when the mobile part and the base station are ready to register, the mobile part can be registered at the base station in a registration procedure by wireless telecommunications, in which case prespecified registration data comprising base station, mobile part, system and product-specific identifications are transmitted between the mobile part and base station and stored in a memory, wherein, to establish the ready-to-register state, said system comprises:
-
(a) charging contacts in the mobile part that are inserted into the battery-charging unit which comprises further charging contacts; (b) a switch device in the mobile part to be registered allows trickle charging for a predetermined period of time; (c) means for checking a memory in the mobile part to be registered whether registration data is stored in the memory, wherein the checking means are assigned to a control device that establishes the ready-to-register process proceeds if no registration data is stored, otherwise the process for establishing the ready-to-register state is aborted; (d) means for creating a signal in the mobile part to be registered which are connected to the charging contacts and are designed in such as way that a signal is created and transferred to the base station to notify the base station that the mobile part side is ready to register; (e) means for creating of a confirmation signal in the base station that reconnected to the charging contacts and are designed in such a way that a conformation signal is created and transmitted to the mobile part via charging contact to confirm to the mobile part the receipt of the signal and to notify it of the ready-to-register state on the base station side; (f) means to detect a confirmation signal in the mobile part to be registered that detect the confirmation signal and which are assigned to the control device and form a functional unit with this in such a way that, when the confirmation signal is detected, the registration procedure is started. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
