Abstract

Telecommunications terminal having a memory device to store user-specific data, having a transmission device whose input is connected to a memory device, where the memory device and the transmission device are designed to store at least one string of digits and to transmit it while a connection exists, and an authentication device to protect the user-specific data against unauthorized access are provided.

Claims

1. A telecommunications terminal, comprising:

a memory device to store user-specific data;

an input device having an output connected to the memory device, to input the user-specific data into the memory device;

a transmission device having an input connected to the memory device, to transmit the user-specific data to another subscriber in a telecommunications network, the memory device and the transmission device are configured to store at least one string of digits and to transmit the string while a connection to the other subscriber exists; and

an actuation device to transfer the user-specific data from the memory device to the transmission device while the connection exists;

an authentication device to protect the user-specific data against unauthorized access; and

the transmission device has a plurality of preconfigured transmission units each having an associated transmission method, and a selection device to select one or more preconfigured transmission devices.

2. The telecommunications terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the input device comprises digit keys.

3. The telecommunications terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the input device comprises a microphone, and a voice memory or voice processing device is connected downstream of the microphone.

4. The telecommunications terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the input device and/or the actuation device have menu guidance.

5. The telecommunications terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the authentication device comprises input, comparison and storage units to authenticate by password, PIN or biometric data.

6. The telecommunications terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transmission device has multifrequency transmission unit.

7. The telecommunications terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transmission device has voice transmission unit.

8. The telecommunications terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transmission device has a data fax, SMS or USSD transmission unit.

9. The telecommunications terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the selection device has menu guidance.

10. The telecommunications terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the memory device is a multi-area memory to store a plurality of strings of digits in the memory areas, which can each be accessed using the actuation device.

11. The telecommunications terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transmission device has an associated encryption unit to encrypt the user-specific data before and/or during transmission.

12. The telecommunications terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the terminal is a mobile telephone.

13. The telecommunications terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transmission device is configured to transmit the user-specific data via an IP network and has a web browser.

14. The telecommunications terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the input device and/or the memory device are held in a supplementary module, which is connected via an interface with data capability, for a telephone, having a separate housing.

15. The telecommunications terminal as claimed in claim 14, wherein the supplementary module has a digit or alphanumeric keypad or a touch screen.
